Had an evening meal in Harvey's Bistro, the food and service were good and as expected. Quite full at the time so booking a table might be advisable in the evenings. The only gripe I have is that the wine seemed a bit pricey, other than that all was fine.

I stayed for 2 nights with 2 older children. Our room was lovely, spacious, comfy beds and everything we needed. Lovely welcome from reception staff. Nice atmosphere in hotel, lovely public areas. If I was being picky (and this is just a personal view) the bed bases did not have valances covering them and I thought this spoiled the look... More

This was a late booking for a weekend stay in the beautiful market town of Alnwick. The White Swan on the main street is an old coaching inn, and has that authentic rambling hotel fee about it, with gorgeous wooden handrails leading you up the stairs and an exquisite wood panelled function (breakfast) room. The rooms were reasonably spacious, nicely... More

Recently met with friends and was rather disappointed by the lunch menu in the bar so decided to have afternoon tea, which was very good, nicely presented and good value. The staff were rather noisey, but at least they seemed to be enjoying themselves, and our service was prompt and pleasant. We would certainly consider going again when meeting in... More

My wife and I decided at short notice to have a couple of days in Northumberland, and chose the White Swan for its location and the description on the website. We were not disappointed, the hotel is an old building but in good state of repair, the room was a good size, with all the facilities you would expect for... More
