About The Bondgate Boutique
For anyone planning a few days around Alnwick Castle and its gardens, The Bondgate Boutique offers a straightforward, comfortable base in the heart of Northumberland. Housed in an 18th-century stone-built property on Bondgate Without, it suits couples and independent travellers who want character without fuss, and who'd rather walk to the pub than drive to one.
Rooms are cosy and en-suite, with free WiFi and drinks available in room, while 24-hour reception means arrival times aren't a worry. There's outdoor seating for warmer days, and free on-site parking takes the stress out of exploring further afield by car.
The hotel sits within easy reach of restaurants, a pub, and local entertainment, and the surrounding area is well set up for walking and cycling, with a golf course nearby too. It's a practical choice for visitors focused on the castle, gardens, and the wider Northumberland countryside rather than on hotel extras.

What guests say
Very well appointed rooms with lots of little unexpected extras. The quite location is very convenient for Alnwick Town, Castle and Gardens.

Pros: (1) Convenient location. All the attractions we were interested in were within walking distance of the premises. Good selection of restaurants and coffee shops in the immediate vicinity of the building. (2) Room was very clean, with nice touches for amenities and little snacks/teas. (3) Managers were helpful when I made an error in the booking, helping to get it sorted quickly. Cons: (1) We were told there was storage space we could use for our luggage after we had checked out. Then, the morning of our check out, we were emailed and told this was no longer possible, with no explanation given. As we had already made day plans and travel arrangements under the assumption of luggage storage, this made for a somewhat miserable final day in Alnwick as we had to carry our luggage everywhere with us. This issue is the main reason why I’ve given three stars rather than higher. (2) The building is adjacent to a busy street, so our front-facing room was rather noisy in the mornings. Some amount of noise off a busy street must be expected, so just be aware of this. In our case, we had the added misfortune of a water pipe bursting on the street at 3 am and were kept awake by drilling and repair works. However, on a positive note, ear plugs are provided in the room. This thoughtful touch was much appreciated.

Great little hotel that is well equipped nice cosy rooms good central location on the edge of alnwick Town centre easy walking distance to everywhere in town.carpark next door was very handy. Rooms nice and clean just what you would expect would use this hotel again what's not to like. Alnwick makes a great base to visit lots of places in the area within a 25 mile radius so not too much driving to do.

Stayed here twice now, once in a room downstairs and once upstairs. Both rooms nice size (downstairs was bigger) and tastefully decorated. Very clean and quiet. Outstanding location right in the centre and short walk to castle and gardens. Great value for money. Would visit more often in they had single nights for sale more but usually 2 night minimum stay
