Good to Know

The White Swan is a historic coaching inn in the centre of Alnwick, a short walk from the castle. Its most famous feature is the Olympic Suite, a dining room fitted out with panelling, a ceiling, stained glass and fittings salvaged from RMS Olympic, the sister ship of the Titanic.

Why it's on our list: dining in a room that once sailed the Atlantic is a genuinely unusual experience, and it's a well-placed base for exploring the town.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
