“The Plough strikes me as a proper Alnwick experience, blending a lively pub atmosphere with comfortable lodging. I particularly appreciate its central location, making Alnwick Castle and the town's attractions easily walkable. It seems like a spot where the food and local brews are as much a draw as the rooms themselves, offering a very grounded and authentic stay.”
