General Information

Situated near to the major A1 dual carriageway, some 35 mins from Newcastle and Berwick, you'll find that as we are well placed for Newcastle Airport and North Shields Quay, The Cook and Barker makes the ideal staging post for those guests with European or international destinations in mind. Alternatively, we are perfectly positioned for the businessperson hiking to the Scottish Capital and Border cities and for the treveller investigating the center of rustic Northumberland. Our clientele come to wine, have dinner and visit at the Cook & Barker for one of the best of reasons: the junction of choice cuisine, a delightfully conventional warm and hospitable ambience, well-appointed and homely apartments, the professional and agreeable facilities and the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The sights of our nearest city of Alnwick have freshly led to its acclaim as the “Best Place to Live in Britain” and the fame of both The Alnwick Garden, with its gorgeous water feature and forthcoming tree-house complex, and palace, with its Harry Potter memorabilia, grows daily. With more palaces than any other shire Northumberland is a magnet for those clients keen to explore the North’s heritage. The Cook and Barker’s nearest palace is, surely, Alnwick, (only five miles away), foot of the antique Percy family and, nowadays, home to the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. Stay Alnwick itself, County city of Northumberland with a variety of historical listed buildings, and discover time to marvel at the Alnwick Garden, - dreamed of and built via the hard business and dedication of the Duchess and now owned by a charitable trust, with its formal parterres and elaborate waterfall feature; note, too, the following phase of development - a tree-house complex that is expected to be the biggest in the world!
