Is Pottergate Tower Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Pottergate Tower is not suitable for children or babies. The property does not accept guests under 18 due to the steep and narrow stone spiral staircase that presents safety concerns. The multiple levels connected by winding stairs make supervision difficult. The medieval tower design prioritises couples seeking a romantic retreat rather than family accommodation.
For Couples
Perfect for romantic breaks with direct castle views from the windows. The super-king bed receives excellent reviews for comfort. Intimate dining at the first-floor table overlooks Alnwick through arched windows. Walk to quality restaurants and cosy pubs within minutes. The medieval tower setting creates a special atmosphere. Mezzanine window seats provide quiet reading spots with countryside views.
Pet Friendly
Pottergate Tower does not accept pets of any kind. The steep spiral staircase and multiple levels make the property unsuitable for dogs. The Grade II listed building has restrictions that prevent pet access. Guests requiring pet-friendly accommodation should look for alternative properties in the Alnwick area that can accommodate animals safely.
