Staying at the White Swan Hotel – Alnwick
Northumberland is one of the most picturesque counties in northern England. Inland villages and towns are great for those interested in history. Medieval castles, bastioned walls, and Roman ruins are just some of the things you can find in and around idyllic traditional towns both inland and by the sea. Holy Isle (Lindisfarne) is a pint-sized island that holds pubs and cafés a-plenty, coastal Lindisfarne Castle and ancient Lindisfarne Priory.
Words cannot describe the magic of The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, particularly as you cross the causeway, admiring staggering views as you go, and feel as though you are entering a secret world as you approach the island. The White Swan Hotel is a charming 300-year-old coaching inn, set in the heart of the historic market town of Alnwick and only a stone’s throw from Alnwick Castle and Gardens. The hotel is renowned for its magnificent Olympic Suite restaurant, which features actual décor from the Titanic’s sister ship.
