“In my opinion, the hotel certainly has some appealing qualities, particularly its historical ambiance and location near Northumberland Coast attractions, but reports of service inconsistencies and lapses in expected standards raise concerns. The availability of family-friendly and pet-friendly facilities alongside unique dining options could make it a worthwhile consideration if improvements are made.”

Excellent Stay Above a Bustling Pub

huge portionsfriendly staffgood breakfaststained carpet
I found the pub food very good. The English pub style food portions were huge. I was glad I had a big appetite. Breakfast prepared me well for a day outdoors?
My room seemed somewhat worn? Some areas needed a refresh. The website showed a different room decor. Walls had scuffs, and the carpet had stains

The location is perfect, very close to the seaside and the nearby walking areas! Its placement above a traditional country pub adds to its charm? The spot is beautiful.

Romantic Stay

spacious suitelarge portionswelcome feelingimpractical seating area
The One-Bedroom Suite was spacious and comfortable. I loved the breakfast. It offered large portions. The staff went out of their way.
There was no table in the seating area , made eating there impractical. It's a simple thing I think could improve comfort.
