Amazing Inn in an Amazing location! Exceeded our expectations.
Pros:

The staff were so friendly and very accommodating. We train and then the bus around the corner here and it worked as planned. The location of the Inn is amazing, right on the main strip of the quaint, picturesque village. The Inn was clean, classy, and way more than what we were expecting. The food at the Inn was also great and we would absolutely go back in a heartbeat to stay here.

Staff weee very attentive and pleasant and look after our needs and requests. Stay was although spoilt by the lack of sl
Pros:

Central location great to get around Alnwick. Comfortable

Cons:

No one manning overnight. Stay was very noisy. Other guests were up till 4am and very loud and there was no staff to remind guests to be quiet and have consideration for other guests. We were unable to get a good nights sleep before heading off on a very long planned walk the next day

Great location, get in before 23:00 on a rainy night
Pros:

Location and friendly staff

Cons:

Having to enter through the back external stairwell after 23:00 which would have been okay but the stair mid landing was very slippery (like black ice) after rain and my partner slipped and hurt herself.

Beautiful town, lots to do, friendly people and The Plough is a great place to stay!
Pros:

The room was lovely and spacious and set up as a twin as we requested. The Plough is brilliantly located for the town, and for Alnwick Castle and Gardens, and it is only a short walk to Barter Books too. The staff were excellent, really friendly and welcoming and we ate in the restaurant on the first night and the food was brilliant too. A really lovely place to stay and I would definitely stay there again if/when I go back to Alnwick.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great!

Reasonable price but internet experience spoiled it
Pros:

Excellent location and parking facilities, friendly staff.

Cons:

Free wifi was advertised but you have to subscribe to sky network supplying your personal details which I wasn’t prepared to do so we had no internet during out stay.
