- Advertisement Feature
If you’re searching for Alnwick hotels that deliver historic charm, luxurious comfort and unique views of Alnwick Castle, let us introduce you to Bailiffgate Hotel – the most exciting new opening in Northumberland this year.
Set just steps from Alnwick Castle and tucked away on the charming, cobbled street of Bailiffgate, this boutique hotel offers guests a timeless escape in one of England’s most historic towns.
And after much anticipation, here’s an exclusive first look as the doors are finally open.
TIMELESS LUXURY SHAPED BY HISTORY
Bailiffgate Hotel isn’t just another addition to the list of hotels in Alnwick, Northumberland – it’s a destination in its own right. The property seamlessly combines old and new: the original Commissioner’s House, which later became the Duchess’s School in 1888, has been lovingly restored, with a sleek five-storey extension thoughtfully designed to complement the Georgian architecture.
The result? 48 individually designed rooms, including 14 luxury suites, each with its own unique layout, view and story. Whether you’re staying in a Castle View Double or indulging in the expansive Georgian Superior Suites, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of heritage and contemporary elegance.
VIEWS, COMFORT AND CHARACTER IN EVERY ROOM
Wake up to sweeping views of Alnwick Castle or relax on your private terrace in one of the hotel’s signature suites. Every room at Bailiffgate Hotel offers something special – whether it’s a view over The Pastures, access to the peaceful Courtyard Garden or interiors filled with thoughtful design and indulgent comfort.
Expect luxurious bathrooms, rich textures, plush bedding and timeless colour palettes that reflect the building’s historic roots. From elegant touches to modern tech, this is sophisticated luxury at its most inviting.
A TASTE OF THE FINEST OF NORTHUMBERLAND
Food lovers, Bailiffgate Hotel is also home to one of the most exciting new dining destinations in Northumberland hotels. At the Motte & Bailey restaurant, Head Chef Paul Blakey leads a talented team crafting modern British dishes using only the finest local, seasonal ingredients.
Start your day with a hearty Northumbrian breakfast, treat yourself to a luxury afternoon tea in the Garden Room or book an evening dinner to experience the full menu. On warmer days, we can’t wait to dine alfresco in the Courtyard Garden, and for a more intimate setting, Mrs Bowmaker’s Room (named after the school’s first headmistress) offers a private dining experience that’s ideal for celebrations and special moments.
RELAX, UNWIND AND EXPLORE
Bailiffgate Hotel is the ultimate place to unwind, reconnect and immerse yourself in the beauty of the region. You’re moments from Alnwick Castle, a short walk to the famous Alnwick Garden and just a quick drive from the Northumberland coast and countryside.
After a day of exploring, escape to the elegant Commissioner’s Bar, nestled within the original house and enjoy a fireside cocktail or a glass of local whisky.
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a solo cultural getaway or a longer getaway to explore everything that hotels in Northumberland have to offer, Bailiffgate Hotel will help you do it in style.
