The Tavern - Steakhouse and Lodge

The Tavern - Steakhouse and Lodge - 7 Fenkle Street, Alnwick, NE66 1HW I stayed at The Tavern for 6 nights from Thursday 17th April 2025 until Wednesday 23rd April. I had a very pleasant room on the first floor which looked out onto Fenkle Street, just west of the Market Square. The room had two large single beds and a bathroom with a shower. There were two bedside cabinets and a desk/table with a cupboard. Also, there was enough hanging space for me, which is something I like. Although the weather was cold while I was there there is a big radiator which, when it is on, warms up the room well. Unfortunately, the radiator is not controllable by the guest, so may not always be on when needed. The bathroom is compact, but there is everything there that you need and the shower works properly. It is not a large room, but I enjoyed the view onto Fenkle Street. At night, when it was dark, some of the birds would sing, I do not know which, but they were virtuosi and I wish I had recorded them. Maybe a Nightingale? There was no breakfast while I was there because there had been a fire in the kitchen, but the kitchen was being refurbished while I was there. I recommend Dirty Bottles on Narrowgate and Baileys of Alnwick on Market street for breakfast, and Harry's Bar on Narrowgate for beer and atmosphere. Would I stay there again? Yes, I look forward to visiting about the same time next year.

The property was in a great location, close to shops, places to eat and pubs. The room was very comfortable, clean and had all the necessary facilities. There were extras in the room fridge like water, jam, juice there were even 2 choc au pan. we were on the top floor I could see the top of the castle from the bedroom window.

It was lovely, a sweet old building that needs some love but we appreciate the charm of it. The bed was really comfy, room was nice and warm. 5 mins walk to the castle, lots of charming restaurants and shops. If we'd known how lovely the town was we would have booked for 2 nights.

What a lovely tavern, the food was delicious we had roast, very dog friendly and the bed was very comfortable and big. Two twins pushed together. Free parking out the front on a disc they give you.

Friendly staff, comfy beds, very good central location with lots of restaurants & shops nearby and only a 12min walk to Alnwick gardens!
