The hosts were so considerate and really bothered that our stay was how we wanted. Daily cleaning or fo not disturb covered. Due to our health, we always had the "do not disturb" sign up, but we left our used mugs outside the room each night and we always woke up to fresh, clean ones outside our room. My bank card was cancelled the week before, and the hosts had no problem when I explained that it hadn't arrived and allowed us to pay when we got there. I cannot think of a fault, and we are returning in the future.

That I wasn't stay longer hahaha. There was no negative, as anything we needed help with, such as keeping my wheelchair folded up in the hallway was absolutely fine.

The owner, Jo, was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We would definitely stay again. The room was clean, comfortable and warm. The accommodation was tastefully decorated and furnished throughout. We appreciated the daily bed making and room freshening. Parking in front of the house was always available and the location was ideal for local amenities.

Possibly the parking was a little bit tight for a larger car, but there was usually additional free parking available on the road too. We really have no complaints at all and would definitely return in future.

Really good sized rooms, off street parking, unbelievably comfy beds and a homely place to stay. The host greeted us on arrival and helped us carry our bags to the room. She couldn’t have done enough for us. Such a wonderful friendly lady which made us feel very comfortable and welcome. We only stayed as a cheep stop off to break up our journey to Edinburgh but would love to go back end explore the village as it looks so lovely with so much to do. Would definitely stay again

We loved the location totally central in Alnwick therefore close to local facilities and easy access to major road links. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Jo, the proprietor, was really friendly, welcoming and informative about the locale. Also she had an information pack in the room prepared with menus from some of the local eateries re breakfast, lunch or dinner.

A couple of tweaks in the accommodation could improve ones stay. E.g the taps in our en-suite were loose and swivelled around when you wanted water. A simple DIY task for the future. We would certainly recommend this accommodation and definitely return in the future.

Location central. Amenities all close at hand. Perfect base to commute to other locations and see wonderful scenery, Castles, Halls, shops and more. Alnwick Castle is a stones throw from the front door. Jo is lovely, friendly and couldn't be any more helpful. Highly recommended. Room is perfect, has everything you need.

Some pubs and restaurants in Alnwick shut earlier, not sure if it's due to being early in the season.

Castle Gate was very easy to find and very close to the entrance of the famous Alnwick Castle! It was quiet, safe, clean, spacious, and comfortable. Jo, the proprietor, is very friendly and offered some good advice about Alnwick and other interesting places. Staff Tracy was very helpful. We'll book again when we come back with our daughter in the future.

Wifi connection could be better.

Central location, Jo the host was nice and friendly and the room was good value for money, was always warm and toasty. Fresh towels daily and topped up on amenities.

Parking outside is a little difficult as theres an incline and no dropped curb so cars can park infront at night blocking you in, easily fixed as there's a long stay car park a two minute walk away.

The owners of the guesthouse were incredibly friendly and well versed in the town they live in. Giving us recommendations on places to visit or different routes to other locations for a better scenic ride. They room was clean, tidy, and extremely comfortable.

The parking was slightly awkward, but that won't be classed as any marks down.

Wonderful, helpful staff, great location. Bedroom decorated in a wonderfully quirky way. Extremely comfortable. Off road parking available for a small car.

WIFI very weak…made it difficult to make bookings and plan further ahead. Plenty of hot water but shower very very small😂

Lovely, characterful property right in the heart of Alnwick. A nice room with a comfortable bed. Jo was great and info was readily available of things to do or so.

The size of the shower was a bit tight but considering it is an old property it was great to have one. Couple of creaky floorboards were pretty much the only other very minor issues.
