Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had rooms that were adequate but small, and not exceptional. They were located at the end of a long corridor, providing a light, airy, and spacious area. Although a bit small, they were still comfortable. The service was friendly, attentive, and professional, especially considering drink drive laws. The location was good for touring the area, set in a quiet location with nearby facilities. The dining offered tasty options, with some room for improvement in portion sizes. Overall, a decent stay with friendly staff and enjoyable surroundings.
The hotel is a gem with exceptional cleanliness and a lovely dog-friendly garden, but the rooms could be more spacious. The service is very friendly, and the dining experience needs a little improvement. The location is perfect for exploring Northumbria, offering great value for a beautiful setting.
The hotel is in a lovely location, very clean and well-equipped with a beautiful garden, making it a fantastic find. The staff were exceptional, very friendly and always ready to help. The dining experience was great, featuring local produce, but breakfast could offer a bit more variety. A real gem for exploring Northumberland's Heritage Coast.
