“The hotel stands as a Grade-II listed building with a historic charm, where the warmth of the staff, particularly Sam and Martin, shines through in their helpfulness, including offering rides to the station; plus, the on-site Spice Galleon restaurant adds to the experience with Indian cuisine. The flexible breakfast options and dog-friendly policies stand out, and it is known as one of the most haunted hotels in Great Britain. A solid choice for visitors to Alnmouth.”

The Indian cuisine was first class, with fresh naan bread that's the best I've ever had. Takeaways are very popular, too.
