“Three day holiday and wedding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

person found this review helpful

It was a pleasure staying in this guest house for 3 nights to attend a friend's wedding in the lovely town of Alnwick, and visit the surrounding area before it! We had two rooms, one with its own shower in the room, (but separate loo and basin reserved for that room's sole use), and the other with a basin, (but separate 'bath/shower, loo and basin' also reserved for that room's sole use too.) Comfortable double beds, with nice decor.Great location in the town, very short walk to shops, castle and gardens and the wedding 'hotel' venue from the guest house, yet peaceful position! Booking was made easy, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the proprietors, Jo and Dave, helped to 'make' our visit! (It was our first time to visit the north of England!) Service was excellent as they helped with all our requests, and the full breakfasts delicious! There is off street parking next to the house, and is via a narrow archway to one side, so no hunting for parking spaces, and was enough for the number of guests we saw staying there. One might park behind or in front of another guest's or owner's car, but it was easy to move, (however, don't try and 'zoom' in if you have a wide car!!) We had our privacy, and from the guest house it was not far to visit the castles and great beaches along the coast (using our hire car), which was fun even in November!! In the morning after the wedding, we came across other wedding guests staying there, and children can stay too! I would recommend this guest house if you want to stay at Alnwick, not least because it was great value as well!

Room Tip: We only saw the two rooms we stayed in, but the other rooms might have fully ensuite, just ask if y...

“Good location but room very small”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

person found this review helpful

The guest house is really well located for visiting Alnwick Castle & The Alnwick Garden right in the town. Although it was very reasonably priced our room was small and the shower room was tiny! Would be better if they made them into wet rooms to create a bit more space. It's ok for a 1 night stopover but I wouldn't want to be staying there any longer. Can't comment on breakfast as we walked into Alnwick to get something to eat. Also we found parking a bit of an issue and if the B&B is busy I think you will struggle to find somewhere to park. We had to coordinate with other guests who were staying because we had to block them in to get parked. I think the owners were away when we stayed and someone was looking after the place for them so we didn't actually see any staff there, our key was in the door when we arrived but I think this was an exception.

“Very disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A very good location and a very good breakfast but that's all the Georgian Guest House has going for it!

Only one comfortable tatty chair to sit on in the room - the other was a fold away chair. The bathroom was narrow, poorly finished and bad lighting. Interior walls are thin and you are able to hear other guests coming and going - we were woken twice one night. The TV was rubbish! No freeview and a terrible picture. Towels were not changed during our visit and there were no heating factilities to dry them, this resulted in us drying them with a hair dryer on a few occasions. The bed was never made. The whole place was in need of redecoration... if we had not had paid prior to our visit we would have walked out!!!!!

“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

Having been left high and dry with only 5 days to go before my break thanks to Northumberland Cottage, Eshott quibbling about the size of my dog I was very grateful to be pointed in the direction of the Georgian Guesthouse. Having spoken to Jo I felt much relieved, not a problem re the well behaved mutt!
I paid heed to the reviews re parking (I'm a wimp) but always found free parking barely a couple of minutes from the B&B so it wasn't an issue. Friendly welcome, lovely room and great breakfasts to set us up for a days walking and sightseeing.

Thankyou to the owners and staff - I had a great break. I'll definitely come back here again, great location

“Friendly B&B, well located for Alnwick Castle and Gardens”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

Very friendly B and B with excellent family suite which actually comprises two rooms. The kids loved the fact that they had a room to themselves (and so did we) with a TV and a large collection of videos. Its located all of a five minute walk from the castle and gardens so no need to drive at all. There are a number of restaurants and pubs within east walking distance as well. The breakfast each morning was very nice. The only slight negative was the temperature in the shower was sometimes not very hot.
