Bailiffgate Hotel
Luxury accommodation in Alnwick
Overlooking Alnwick Castle, Bailiffgate Hotel provides a peaceful retreat within the stunning landscape of Northumberland. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, dramatic coastlines, and fascinating history, the hotel provides an ideal base to explore the region’s unique beauty.
The Bailiffgate Story
Bailiffgate’s journey through history is remarkable. Once the Duke of Northumberland’s Commissioner’s house, it later transformed in 1903 into a school dedicated to training girls in ‘sewing, knitting, darning and other household work’ – preparing them for lives as domestic servants, wives, and mothers.
How times change!
Today, as a luxury 5-star hotel, Bailiffgate is a place of comfort and relaxation—a world away from its past. Yet, we honour its history, naming our private dining room after its formidable first headmistress, Mrs Bowmaker – renowned for her strict austerity – while the Commissioner’s Bar pays tribute to its former inhabitants.
