Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited castle in England, and has been home to the Duke of Northumberland's family, the Percys, through 700 years of drama, intrigue, tragedy and romance. Nicknamed 'The Windsor of the North', it has a turbulent past just waiting to be discovered. Alnwick Castle's unique history features kingmakers, rebels, a gunpowder-plotter and passionate collectors, as well as Harry Hotspur, the most famous of all Percys.

A castle has been recorded on this site for an incredible 1000 years. Situated in Northumberland near the volatile border between England and Scotland, Alnwick Castle was built in the classic Norman motte and bailey style, to defend the town against attacks from marauding Scots. When the 1st Lord Percy of Alnwick purchased the castle in the early 1300s, he upgraded all its defensive features, turning it into an impenetrable fortress. You can still see parts of this extensive renovation today, as the Abbot’s Tower, the Middle Gateway and the Constable’s Tower have all survived as reminders of the castle’s gruesome past.

Steeped in history, The Schooner Hotel is a listed 17th Century Coaching Inn and is set in the picturesque coastal village of Alnmouth in Northumberland, only 40 minutes drive from Newcastle and the Metro Centre. It nestles near to an unspoiled and beautiful sandy beach and is close to various golf courses, Alnwick town and it’s famous castle. The hotel is the ideal base for our guests wishing to experience all that the Northumberland Countryside has to offer. It is easily accessible from the A1 and only 1 mile from Alnmouth’s east coast railway station. From golfing, rambling, site seeing or just to simply get away from it all, The Schooner Hotel is the perfect retreat to escape from the hustle and bustle.
Our friendly staff welcome everyone with a smile and with 32 bedrooms, 2 cosy bars, a games room, conservatory and an Indian restaurant we ensure our guests stay at the hotel is relaxing, enjoyable and memorable.
The hotel has a rich history of hauntings and famous figures such as Charles Dickens, John Wesley, Basil Rathbone and King George III all said to have stayed.

Here at Spurreli we would like to share our passion for icecream. Spurreli icecream is made on the premises using the best of ingredients, fresh Northumbrian pedigree milk and cream from Marley Cote Walls farm, and flavoured from the wide variety of beautiful produce available to us on our doorstep. Seasonal flavourings and ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible, from Virginia’s home grown berries to Alnwick Rum, these are combined with the finest Italian flavourings, to help us create delicious icecream and gelato.

Spurreli opened within The Old Chandlery in August 2010, next to the boatyard and in between the harbour and town-square. As well as Spurreli icecream, our Baristas will serve freshly ground Illy coffee, Ruby Rose patisserie, speciality teas, chilled soft drinks and winter soup.
