Five-star hotel overlooking loved landmark opening soon

April 17, 2025

A FIVE-STAR hotel overlooking one of Northumberland's best-known landmarks is set to open to the public next month.

- DANIEL HALL Reporter daniel.hall@reachplc.com

The Bailiffgate Hotel is located in the historic former premises of the Duchess High School, overlooking the Barbican entrance to Alnwick Castle.

The 48-room hotel had initially been earmarked to open in summer 2024, but was hit by a series of delays due to the age of the former Georgian schoolhouse. However, bosses at Northumberland Estates, who own the building, say that the historic site is now “ready to write a new chapter” after years of transformation.

Bernard Bloodworth, a former pupil at the Duchess High School, has been appointed general manager.
