A most enjoyable stay at the Hope and Anchor, room was clean and comfortable, one or two minor points in the bathroom but nothing that spoilt our stay in the lovely location, we had dinner in the restaurant and the food was really nice as was the Northumbrian breakfast

Enjoyed my 2 night stay at the Hope and Anchor and I think 4 out of 5 is about right.A couple of negatives, breakfast not available before 8-30 and the evening meals were a bit expensive which had us going into Alnwick for other options.Parking was difficult but we found somewhere a couple of minutes walk away.Breakfast was very good with a choice of the usual hot options.

Perfect 4 nights in Alnmouth

This was an inspired booking through Hotels.com. We had an excellent room (Lapwing), which gave us a lot of space. The weather was fantastic (snow on the beaches, zero temperatures and clear skies - excellent for walking).

Fantastic Stay

Fantastic stay in beautiful Alnmouth. Lovely room (Lapwing). Great service. Nice food in the restaurant. The breakfast was probably one of the best hotel breafasts I have had. Wish I had tried the fish and chips as it looked fantastic. Would definately stay at the Hope and Anchor again.
