The Shepherd's Rest

The staff first of all were so lovely and it felt like just staying at family home - very accommodating and trusting , they put a spread on for NYE and fireworks and it was lovely, they let us as a group keep the children in till late and also they let us bring our own food in to nibble on as they weren’t serving food so it was perfect for our group of friends to be in a warm bar with room for the kids to be all together and alcohol and soft drinks were served for the adults - The bed was comfortable we were in the family room and amenities were in for us to be self catering It wasn’t loud considering bar underneath Claire the bar staff was so helpful and lovely as well as the other lady but I got on with Claire straight away Susan had another bar and gave free shots to my boyfriend and his friends while they visited there I’m looking forward to the summer as I will be back. Such a friendly pub and b&b will hope the on in the summer but I think if I asked Susan to make me something she would go out the way to do that Hospitality was lovely

The room was clean and nicely decorated. Beds very comfy. Basic facilities, but good value for money. The room felt secure and there was plenty of parking. It is a 15min walk from Alnwick town centre, but it is uphill on the way.

Room was large and comfortable. Cosy bar area to sit and chat with a drink. Menu limited but meals we had were adequate and tasty. There was a large conservatory and outdoor eating area at the back of the hotel. Location was great, just out of town but an easy walk into the city centre. Alnwick castle and gardens close, and an easy drive to Bamburgh and Dunstenburgh castles. Beautiful country side.

This is a lovely old building that must be difficult to maintain. The room was very clean. The staff were brilliant

We loved our host Clair, she went above and beyond to make our short stay comfortable. We would absolutely recommend this little pub to anyone wanting a friendly relaxed stay.
