The Cookie Jar is a boutique hotel set in a former convent in the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland, just down the cobbles of Bailiffgate from Alnwick Castle. Its 11 individually styled rooms range from cosy to spacious, each with signature drench showers, Hypnos beds and home-made cookies. At the rear, the Bistro serves afternoon tea and evening dining, with a heated terrace and garden overlooking the chef's own veg patch. There's a 24-hour residents' lounge, drying and gun rooms for outdoor pursuits, and kennels for dogs, which are warmly welcomed. The town's museums, including Bailiffgate Museum and the Northumberland Fusiliers Museum, sit right on the doorstep, making this a convenient cosy retreat for exploring Alnwick and beyond.
