The Cookie Jar

We visited the cookie jar today for afternoon tea for my besties birthday. Just live round the corner and never been in, it was absolutely beautiful, we were greeted with a warm professional welcome and shown around, Leigh told us about the history of the building and was so lovely. Staff were so attentive friendly and it was such an amazing relaxed vibe in such a boutique hotel. Afternoon tea was enjoyable not to much but still took a goodie bag away. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff for making my friends birthday special xx

My husband and I visited her last night and all we can say is WOW! We stayed in the chapel suite and it was nothing short of perfection. From arrival the staff were very friendly and accommodating nothing was too much trouble. The suite itself was stunning beyond our expectations. Super comfy bed and linen and a sound night sleep. Complimentary toiletries are divine and add that special touch. The garden is beautiful amd we enjoyed a couple of cocktails there on the afternoon. Breakfast was lovely and lots of choice. The crossants were the best we've ever had! Can't wait to book again for August. This has by far become our favourite place to stay. Thank you to all the staff

We loved this hotel! The room is one of the biggest we've stayed in; we had dinner on one night, which was excellent. Breakfast is well presented and caters for all tastes, I enjoyed a variety of things from the menu over 3 days. The thing that made this stay most memorable for us though was the staff at the hotel. Without exception, they were friendly and helpful and really couldn't do enough to make our stay a memorable one. We would highly recommend the Cookie Jar. (Be sure to visit the castle too. Only 50 yards away, it's beautiful and, again, the people conducting the tours were brilliant).

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt the genuine warmth from the hotel itself and the staff. Check-in was seamless and we were shown around the beautifully decorated hotel and to our room. Overlooking the high street and the castle walls, our room (the Bamburgh) was gorgeous, spacious, bright and super comfortable. The shower (within the bedroom if you’re ok with that!) was a powerful rainfall shower and amazing! The room offered good tea and coffee facilities and a little jar of cookies (obviously!). Once I informed them of my gluten intolerance, a second cookie jar arrived, with GF cookies - a nice touch. We had a couple of issues with our meal on the first evening, but the owner Debbie handled it personally, promptly and brilliantly. She couldn’t have made our stay better. The menus for breakfast and dinner were plentiful and the food spot on. My hubby is still drooling over his steak! I had a separate GF menu with pretty much the same choice (just adapted slightly) and was very well looked after. Hats off to Debbie and all her amazing team at the Cookie Jar. It’s the personal touch that makes the stay special and they offered that in abundance.

Amazing two night stay, felt so welcomed from the moment we walked in. Room was immaculate. Everything was to a very high standard with lovely relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

We decided to take a spontaneous trip down to The Cookie Jar for a night away. A work colleague had recommended the hotel so we thought we would try it out. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. We were greeted with warmth and despite arriving early we were checked in promptly and shown to our very comfortable room Holy Island. The room had a very large bed, spacious shower room and Smart TV with Netflix. Real coffee and fresh milk was a lovely touch along with home baked fresh cookies. The great location allowed us to walk easily into Alnwick and we visited Barter Books for coffee and cake beside the fire. In the evening we ate in The Bistro. Professional service and perfectly cooked food. What not to like. Highlights were perfectly cooked scallops, pork, rib eye steak and a white chocolate bomb. After a great nights sleep we had breakfast which was freshly cooked and of a high standard. Lovely fresh fruit, homemade granola, freshly baked pastries and a selection of cooked to order hot options, The service and our overall experience was amazing. This small boutique hotel could put many a 5 star hotel to shame. We would 100% recommend and will be back.
