Stay Here!

The Cook and Barker is an amazing place, in the middle of nowhere, but close enough to Alnwick and driving distance to Holy Island etc..... staff are really friendly, breakfast is outstanding - thank you. We stayed in the suite and were blown away. Evening meals are exceptional, everything was cleaned to a high standard.

What a great place. Didn’t have particularly high expectations before we arrived but arrived to a friendly greeting at the cosy bar with the fire lit. The bedroom was bright and spacious, clean and obviously recently upgraded. The bed was comfy and the linen and towels were a good quality. The en-suite had a bath with a great powerful shower overhead, so powerful that the shower screen was unable to contain all the water! We booked a table in the restaurant for our first night but the food was so good, that rather than find a restaurant for our second night we ate in the restaurant again. At the time of booking some of the hotel photos on the hotel.com app were from before the upgrade so check out the hotels website for the updated pictures.

Why is the second visit never quite the same.

This was our second visit. The last was about 15 years ago. Our rooms had been renovated recently and were excellent except for the tole grouting behind the glass shower screen that must be quite diffivult forcthe cleaner to reach. The black mould was already starting to show. The public area however was very tired. The rear entrance floor tile grouting was dirty. The dining room windows were in need of a good clean. The ladies toilet at the rear was out of order for the duration of our stay and the gents toilet sink was grubby. On return from a meeting we went for a drink just after 10.30 to be told the bar was closed. Finally the staff in the dining room were obviously anxious to get home as they were lifting and dragging chairs across the stone floor and preparing the room for breakfast before we had tackled our deserts. Looks like a lack of supervision in that area. Food excellent. Dont be put off by my previous comments. Probably just a glitch after Covid and I am comparing it with the absolute joy of my former visit which was on the recommendation of a Judge.

Only problem was that the heating was inadequate in our room - the Barker Suite - it was lovely but very big and it took some heating as it was a cold weekend. Nevertheless it was a great stay with exceptional staff.

Wonderful old public house. Fantastic food , good selection of ales. Polite efficient staff. Room very clean , spacious and tastefully appointed. Wonderful stay but I feel at £140 per night maybe overpriced. For that premium I would expect pool, sauna etc etc However I must point out it was a wonderful night, with a terrific meal also.

Rural hidden gem close too A1!

I would have given them a 5 on service if I didnt have to wait so long at check in. The rooms are spacious, wifi is good, as is breakfast. They have a decent selection of Ales and the food is very nice (although I did feel the need to order some extra veg with my main meal. I had the Breats of Duck). The starter portion of moules was a decent size. Car parking is secure and the location although in a quiet rural setting is fantastic for the A1 to get to Alnwick. After initial hiccup with check in, staff were really good, friendly but professional. I would stay here again.
