Once the Duke of Northumberland’s Commissioner’s house and later a girls' school in the early 1900s, the Bailiffgate Hotel in Alnwick is steeped in history and full of character. Now transformed into a five-star luxury hotel, it offers guests a unique blend of Georgian charm and contemporary comfort just a short stroll from the iconic Alnwick Castle.
Bailiffgate’s 48 thoughtfully designed rooms feature all the little luxuries you’d expect—from Jo Loves toiletries and coffee machines to individually controlled air-conditioning in the modern wing. The hotel is dog-friendly too, making it an ideal base for discovering Northumberland’s historic trails, rugged coastlines, and picture-perfect countryside.
Dining is a highlight at Bailiffgate, with a range of tempting options from the elegant Motte & Bailey bistro to afternoon tea in the Courtyard Garden. The Commissioner’s Bar is a cosy, firelit retreat with cocktails and local tipples, while Mrs Bowmaker’s Room offers an intimate private dining experience. Whether you're planning a romantic retreat, family celebration, or stylish staycation, the hotel’s mix of history, hospitality and heritage makes it a memorable destination year-round.
Stay, dine and unwind in one of Northumberland’s most historic and luxurious boutique hotels.
