Schooner Hotel - A 3-star historic inn with paranormal events, Indian cuisine, and proximity to Alnmouth Golf Club

A 17th-century heritage-listed inn with 3-star accommodations, Schooner Hotel offers 2 cozy bars, a garden, and an onsite Indian restaurant, Spice Galleon. Rooms include free Wi-Fi, TVs, tea/coffee-making facilities, and en suite bathrooms, though some feature cobwebs and thin towels. The hotel hosts paranormal investigation evenings and has twice been named 'Most Haunted Hotel in Great Britain.' Located on Northumberland Street, Schooner Hotel is within a 15-minute drive of Alnwick Castle and Alnmouth Village Golf Club. Near landmarks like the Aln Estuary Marine Conservation Zone (0.5 km) and Warkworth Castle (5 km), the property includes a 24-hour front desk and a terrace overlooking the estuary. English breakfast is available daily, and the Spice Galleon serves dishes like sizzling Baltis and King Prawn Bhuna Puri.

Pros

The historic 17th-century building has hosted figures like Charles Dickens and King George III.

Paranormal investigation evenings offer unique entertainment for guests.

The Indian restaurant, Spice Galleon, provides a varied menu including sizzling Baltis and tandoori specialties.

Proximity to Alnmouth Village Golf Club and scenic estuary views.

Free Wi-Fi and 24-hour front desk service.

Cons

Some rooms feature outdated decor and thin towels.

The hotel's paranormal reputation may not appeal to all guests.

“This property stands out for its prime location mere steps from the beach in the tranquil town of Alnmouth, making it ideal for seaside getaways. The friendly staff and the recently renovated bathrooms add to the experience, as does the fascinating history of the building itself, rumored to be haunted. I think this could be a good option for those looking for a unique and comfortable stay with convenient access to the coast.”
