Lovely room n very good staff! Definitely a place to stay!
Checked-in at the bar where staff were all helpful and welcoming. The room (and bed) was very comfortable with good blackout blinds. Central location so very convenient for exploring Alnwick. We’ll stay here again.

The accommodation is in a good location. Parking is available although it's accessible through a very narrow alley way.
The staff was one person who ran the bar and cleaned the rooms.
Access to the rooms was up stairs which were steep and not suitable for persons with walking problems.
Breakfast was advertised on the website but was not available as there was no staff to provide it.
Overall the accommodation was okay,but I would not use it again.
Entrance to car park is very narrow if you have a big car. Front door closed at 10pm so would have to access from rear of property up steep stairs to fire exit and enter with fob. We were back by 9:45pm and we could not buy a drink as last orders had been called 🙁. But clean, comfortable room and central so would stay again for price.
Perfect location between Barter Book and the Playhouse with bus stop right outside. Clean, quiet, comfortable. Nice patio outside to enjoy summer evenings. Not fancy, but if your tastes are simple and you want an affordable base from which to explore the area, this is the place for you.

Despite booking a bed and breakfast rate, there was no breakfast served in the Plough. I complained immediately and pointed out that even the welcome note in the room stated breakfast timings. I booked through hotels.com where it clearly stated that breakfast was included. And finally, I have received a receipt from the Plough that says bed and breakfast rate.
Hotel really good. Excellent location. A bit disappointed there was no room for us to eat on first night. But hotel was lovely and clean and decor was spot on. Nice there was parking at back of hotel. Would definately stay again.
The hotel was very nice in a great location unfortunately it was very cold and the hotel was understaffed with 2 people seeming to do all the work. Food was good but took over an hour to arrive.
Lovely old coaching inn, tasteful decor. Large bedroom & bathroom.
Delicious food in the restaurant.
Very helpful & efficient staff.
In the centre of Alnwick so convenient for a visit.
Very clean, lovely staff, great parking and good bar.
However, the room was freezing and had to sleep in my coat. Radiator never came on even though it was set to high.
Also, need more than just 1 sachet of milk.

Lovely little hotel apart from being locked in, having to get out via the fire escape with luggage, and finding the hotel place shut down and locked up. Really bizarre situation, with breakfast apparently served from 8, yet not a a soul in site or contactable on phone or email. A shame as great location, friendly welcome the night before and nice room.
The skirting boards all around the room were thick with dust The silicone in the shower was mouldy. The duvet had a smell to it. Cleanliness overall was disappointing.

Alnwick trip
Nice room, rubbish shower.
Had to go and hunt out a member of staff to order breakfast.
It was My first stay at the Plough & I was extremely impressed. My room (The Muckle) was just what I needed, plenty of space clean, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Plenty of room in the car park. I was so impressed I immediately booked My next stay at the Plough
