Crux

Wonderful 1 night stay at Crux, we had the Adventurers room. Subtle Harry Potter touches, nothing over the top. Beautiful bathroom, very clean. Loved the bathrobes and great size towels. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. We had a few drinks during happy hour downstairs in The Dirty Bottles, stayed here to eat and that didn't disappoint. Great portion sizes and reasonably priced too. Breakfast was included, again very good quality and plenty to eat. No noise could be heard from other rooms or from downstairs. Great staff and amazing location. Would love to visit again!

We stayed in the dark arts room and it really was special as a Harry Potter fan. The attention to detail in the decoration was magical. We really appreciated the information book with advice of local places to eat and visit. The room was spacious enough for 2 and the bed was comfortable. We really appreciated the fan as the room is warm.

We stayed for one night with our 2 year old daughter and we loved it so much that we’ve already rebooked! Staff were really helpful about us dropping our luggage off early and took it up to our room for us when our room was ready. We stayed in the Dark Quarters and the attention to detail in the room was just brilliant - the Black family wallpaper in particular was so cool. We’d just visited the castle and our daughter thought our bedroom was in the castle and she was really excited - I did see her point as the room felt very grand and special! We had dinner that evening in The Dirty Bottles, we had the Sunday roast and it was lovely. I don’t drink and they had some great mocktails available. We wanted to make the most of the room so got our (bath)robes on and watched a couple of Harry Potter films! You order breakfast the night before, we both got smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and breakfast was great - you could help yourself to cereal, fruit, yoghurt etc alongside what you’d ordered. Our daughter has chatted about it every day since we came back and how much fun it was “in castle with witches hats” - can’t wait to visit again!

Such a lovely little hotel! The decor was very well done, so many little details in the rooms from the starry sky ceilings to the dark blue subway tile in the bathroom. The hotel staff were so kind and thoughtful, they really made our stay comfortable and relaxing. The pub downstairs is convenient and the food and drinks are superb! And the location is great, right in the middle of Alnwick, and barely a 5 min walk to Alnwick Castle just around the corner.

I expected this to be a touristy hotel, but it’s a few rooms located over a pub. I was so pleasantly surprised. The room was spectacularly decorated. The TV had access to the Harry Potter movies so we were able to watch one in our room the night before visiting the castle. The provided breakfast was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend and would stay here again.

Unique and amazing room. Quirky details in room tastefully done. Couldn’t fault it.only thing that let them down was the breakfast.

It was lovely but disappointed that the toiletries seemed used and could not find the Harry Potter films! It wasn’t very Harry Potter in the meeting room! Bathroom was lovely tho! Could have done with a full length mirror in the room very noisy you could hear talking and noise from room next door! Breakfast was lovely tho

Absolutely loved this property. In the center of town, so it's easy to walk to shops and there is parking options. Highly recommend. Will try to stay longer next time!

Lovely Harry Potter themed hotel and restaurant The Dirty Bottles breakfast was great and we also ate there on an evening generous tasty portions and lovely atmosphere,Staff attentive. we stayed in the chamber really lovely room the only thing was it’s not very sound proof with the adjoining room Dumbledorm we could hear them talking and walking around probably didn’t help that the people weren’t very considerate of other guests. The room could do with a suitcase stand as there was nowhere to put your case other than the floor and the room is big enough to take it. I would also suggest a shelf in the bathroom by the sink so you have somewhere to put your toiletries and be careful in the shower as it leaks on the floor But we loved it and would return great location backs onto Alnwick Castle
