"A happy, busy "pub with rooms", excellent for touring base save for no wi-fi"
We stayed for two nights, specifically to entertain a 9 person family party one night and to visit Alnwick Castle and Gardens the next day. The modern spacious en suite room was very good, clean and well furnished, in the attached annexe behind the pub, with its own car park at the rear. The menu was tasty, ambitious and the portions quite large.The staff were friendly and accommodating. Read less
Likes:
Cleanliness; friendly, energetic, helpful staff; modern spacious room; quiet location. Good value food deals for our party. Good location for touring and easy access to the A1 dual carriageway.
Dislikes:
1. First impression of the bar area is that it is cluttered and very worn in this very busy pub.
2.No Wi-Fi anywhere making planning difficult. Mobile signal very weak.

Likes:
Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good.
Dislikes:
We had booked a twin room, only to find they didn't have that booked for us, although this was booked in May. We stayed in two separate rooms, as my sister was recovering from a hip operation.

Likes:
Pleasant and relaxing, particulary enjoyed the coast
Dislikes:
The stay was good and the food was excellent. However, the one thing that let the hotel down for us (and others) was the volume of the music in the restaurant,
which was invasive.

"Fine dining in a lovely location"
We spent 2 nights at the Cook & Barker on our way to Scotland. We had visited Beamish on our way up (very enjoyable) and then spent the following day at Alnwick Castle and gardens. The hotel was perfectly located being 4 miles from Alnwick. The hotel is in a small village which is very pretty. The hotel is far enough away from the A1 that road noise is not a problem. There is a lot of character in the hotel with a history of the unusual name. The staff were very friendly. Read less
Likes:
The restaurant was excellant with a very good choice of high quality food and wines at reasonable prices. The restaurant was very busy on both nights we ate there. The breakfasts were also excellant
Dislikes:
We had read comments online that the bathrooms were a little tired with some grouting needing attention. That was the case but did not spoil our visit

The mould in the grouting of the tiles in the bathroom was the only criticism in an otherwise superb experience.
