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.

Just off the A1 but very peaceful location. Great menu. Food was excellent - both dinner and breakfast. Bar and restaurant were busy but had a lovely atmosphere. It’s a beautiful building with an annexe for accommodation. The slight downside was the noise coming from surrounding rooms.and the cobwebs on the ceiling above the bed. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay.

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.
