An open staircase leads from the bar to the airy dining-room.

Hotel Style
The Plough has been part of Alnwick for visitors and locals alike. It's a beautiful coaching inn with a history dating back to 1896. The interior is a cross between a hunting lodge and a gentleman's club, featuring battered Chesterfields and plaid-upholstered high-stools and armchairs, teal-blue and grey walls, and dark-wood floors. Artfully arranged collections of old books and clocks give a relaxed, clubby vibe. Dining in The Plough is an authentic experience, and whether you're popping in to experience the menu, enjoying the extensive gin selection, or staying the night, you'll be sure to remember your time.
