We stayed here for 2 nights as it is the closest accommodation to Alnwick Gardens. The breakfasts were amazing. There were many cereal types as well as a wide variety of cooked breakfasts including kippers or Northumbrian Full Breakfast, orange juice and as much coffee as anyone could want. The staff were friendly informative and prompt. Great place! They were... More

Evening meal served very well by very busy waitress (seemed to be on her own). The food and drink were extremely good especially the Surf and Turf. Would recommend to anyone, don't be fooled that from outside it looks like a cafe, it is a good restaurant in its own right.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in Alnwick over the weekend and we decided to eat at the ‘Tower Restaurant’ on our second night. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and the food was fantastic. I had slow cooked beef & vegetables and my wife had salmon, followed by two luxurious sticky toffee puddings and coffees. Just...

Thank you for your review and your kind remarks. We try hard to make everyones visit a pleasureable one. Good food is not rocket science and the best food is simple. When I left school the clever ones became Doctors and Solicitors, the less clever ones became farmers and chefs and the really thick ones joined the Police Force! Here... More

On a daytrip to Alnwick, my family and I stopped off here for a snack. Big mistake. We visited with two small children. My husband had to locate and retrieve both a high-chair and a menu as these weren't offered. One of the waitresses then proceeded to spill a latte over the table, my leg and the floor which is...

As the owner I am concerned about your experience and do apologise for what happened to you. I have discussed this incident with Mark my manager and he confirms that he asked you to return with the offer of free coffee and cake to, in some way make up for this bad experience. I am sorry that you chose not... More

Incredibly happy with our choice - booked last minute and got a great deal, far cheaper than anywhere else available (£44 for the night)! Consequently we were a little dubious, however The Tower exceeded our expectations. We stayed in room 4 which was huge, the bed was incredibly comfortable as was the sofa and the window seats. The staff were... More
