5-Star Gold Award Guest House in Alnwick with Michelin Guide Recognition Since 2019
Awards & Recognition
West Acre House holds a Five Stars and a Gold Award from Visit England in 2022, alongside a TripAdvisor Award For Excellence. The property has been featured in the Michelin Guide since 2019, distinguishing it from other bed and breakfasts in Northumberland. This Edwardian villa is run by the same owners since 2004, who provide hospitality that earned these accolades.
Rooms & Themes
Each of the four double en-suite rooms has a unique theme, such as the Oriental Room or the Parisian Room, offering diverse decor experiences. Guests find complimentary sherry, chocolates, and snacks in the rooms, plus a decanter of sherry and a bowl of sweets in some rooms. The Edwardian room overlooks the one-acre garden, and the Oriental room features a spacious layout with a view of the immaculate back garden.
Garden & Grounds
The property sits within an impressive one-acre garden with a sun terrace, picnic area, and outdoor furniture. Guests have access to a large garden room with books, maps, games, and a conservatory overlooking the garden. Secure parking is provided behind an electric gate, and the garden includes manicured lawns and seating areas.
Breakfast & Dining
Breakfast is pre-ordered the evening before and offers full English/Irish, continental, vegetarian, and gluten-free options using locally sourced produce. Jeanette prepares fresh fruit salad, and Bruce cooks the hot breakfast to order, serving it on white tablecloths with name cards for each guest. Guests also receive a warm welcome with tea and homemade cake on arrival.
Location & Nearby Attractions
West Acre House is a 15-minute walk from Alnwick town centre and a 1.8 km walk to Alnwick Castle, the filming location for Harry Potter. Bamburgh Castle is 29 km away, and Lindisfarne Castle is 45 km away, with Newcastle International Airport 48 km from the property. The quiet suburban location provides easy access to Barter Books, Alnwick Garden, and local restaurants recommended by the hosts.
