Enjoyable Stay
We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. However, as there are no lifts in the hotel, it would have been a courtesy for the gentleman behind the reception desk to ask if we needed a hand with taking out bags upstairs. The Olympic restaurant was as expected, very atmospheric. The evening meal was very enjoyable and of good quality, as was the breakfast. The staff, once again, were all very friendly and helpful. The only slight downside was our room. We booked an Executive double, but it was just a very dull double, the brown furniture was very dated and slightly tatty. The pictures on the website are somewhat misleading. However, the bed was clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom. The room was too hot during the night and we were unable to open a window to let any air in. Not sure what made the room "Executive", maybe a picture or two on the walls would have at least brightened it up a bit. We also had a bottle of sparking wine in the room, which was very welcome. However, it was not chilled and there was no fridge to put it in so we didn't drink it but did bring it home to enjoy once it had been chilled. The main bar area was a bright and modern place to have an after-dinner drink. Overall the hotel is a very nicely placed in Alnwick and has some good features, but does need some money spending on updating its rooms, so we would think twice before booking again.
Lovely stay
Relaxed atmosphere, lovely, friendly staff. Newly refurbished whilst keeping the character. Great location with lots of local attractions.
Great place to stay
This was our first visit but it won t be our last. We had a brilliant stay in the White Swan
The hotel was warm and so cosy. It is located so near the heart of Alnwick and all the amenities.
We would definitely recommend

Location & Local Attractions
The White Swan sits right in the heart of Alnwick, a busy little town full of independent shops, cafes and traditional pubs and is just a stone's throw from Alnwick Castle and Gardens. The Castle was location for the filming of Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, and the seat of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. Alnwick Gardens, created by the Duchess, is one of the world's most extraordinary contemporary gardens, featuring the stunning Treehouse restaurant and infamous Poison Garden (the UK's deadliest). New for Spring 2023 is the spectacular Lilidorei Playground.
The White Swan is the perfect location to base yourselves for exploring the very best of the North East with its unspoilt coastline and historic landmarks. Discover Holy Island and Lindisfarne, Northumberland National Park and the exciting cities of Durham and Newcastle.
