We stayed in The Chapel - it was breathtaking! Incredibly high standard of finishes, decor and furnishings. Modern and luxurious within the historic frame of the building and it's facinating history. Staff were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. We'd have no hesitation staying again and highly recommend The Cookie Jar if you're looking for a memorable overnight accommodation experience anywhere near Alnwick.

Lovely little hotel within a 2 minute walk of Alnwick Castle. Staff all very helpful and friendly. We had St Cuthbert’s Cave room. Very spacious - with a claw foot bath and enormous shower in the bathroom. Lovely home made cookies left to enjoy with the tea and coffee provided. We stayed 2 nights and ate in the restaurant on one night.

We stayed in The Chapel Room, which was beautiful, so unique - with stunning stained glass windows, very spacious, gorgeous decor/furnishings and a super comfortable, large bed. The hospitality/housekeeping staff are all extremely helpful and polite. The breakfast was delicious and served by a smiling, friendly and helpful team - we always receive excellent customer service, thank you. The breakfast room/restaurant and resident's lounge are lovely to relax in too.
