We took a chance booking this one, as we were visiting Alnwick Castle again, this time with daughter and her boyfriend as she is a massive Harry Potter fan and this fit the bill with the obvious name reference. Only a 2 night stay but a rewarding experience Strange to have this in the A1 services, but there is no... More

Our daughter and I stayed here for one night late April. Check-in is just a til at the end of the bar in the dining room. Bit of a crapshoot finding it.The room was clean, spacious, and nice to have a heated towel rail. However, having travelled extensively, must say it was VERY weird to be in a hotel room... More

Thanks for the review. Just to put you right on a few things - we're not a hotel but a pub. With rooms. As such we don't have phones in the rooms. We'd rather give a good rate for good, value for money accommodation. More

Really didn't know what to expect but I was not disappointed. I travel in the north region frequently and will definitely be staying here again. As alone female traveller I would have preferred that the very nice receptionist didn't say out loud the room number that I was staying in as there was someone behind me booking in. Lovely meal...

Thanks for the review - and five stars. Glad we made for a pleasant surprise. Point taken about saying your room number aloud. We will feed that back to staff. Please stay again soon. More

We stayed in the Hog’s Head for one night while visiting relatives in the area. It is a modern hotel at the side of the A1. Road noise was, however, negligible. There was a large car park. On arrival, the receptionist was friendly and informative. Our room was larger than average and spotlessly clean. It was well equipped with TV,... More

Stayed here with my daughter and my husband for 2 nights. It was nice, clean and bright. The room was huge and the beds comfortable. Only problem was my husband was ill half an hour after eating in the restaurant that night, However my daughter and I were ok. Breakfast however was good. The staff were great and really helpful....

Thanks for the review - we were a little bit alarmed as there seemed to be an inference that your husband became ill half an hour after eating our food, which may be construed it hd been something he'd eaten... We are proud to hold 5 stars in our food hygiene rating scores. Hope it didn't spoil the rest of... More

Comfortable large bed, sofa double for our daughter and en-suite shower room. Very clean and spacious bedroom. Tea and coffee making facilities provided. Also iron and board plus a hair... More

We recently stayed at the Hogs Head Inn and found the staff to be extremely accommodating, friendly and nothing short of excellent. The room was obviously very new, was clean and lacked nothing that we needed. There were ample coffee sachets for our stay and the bathroom was clean. The rooms were lovely and warm and quiet despite being quite... More

Clean, comfortable, modern decoration, just lacks a bit of soul - a bit like a slightly better Premier Inn!! We enjoyed our weekend stay and can't really fault the accommodation and the bar , staff were polite enough but it just lacked a bit of the personal touch. Was expecting that good old North Eastern welcome, but don't hold your... More

Hogs head inn is new (sept 2012) so lovely and clean. We had a family room and on arrival it really had a wow factor. Food in the restaurant was beautiful homemade dishes.

We had a fantastic stay. We stayed on Sunday night as was going to the Harry Potter castle on the bank holiday Monday. We had booked some where else but upon arriving at the other destination we had been disappointed and was so far from Alnwick castle, so tried to find somewhere and a local B&B said about the Hogshead....
