  : Longest review and no apologies for that, this hotel and location deserve every word! Hope it helps someone.So what did I like? Pretty much everything really. The quirky room we had, which was a really unusual shape top floor, room 24i think it was), which I loved! Now, the location, is just amazingly good. It's on Bamburgh castle's doorstep! A literal 3 minute amble and you're there! The staff are lovely. The bed was comfy. The pillows plump. Nice big bathroom. Good menu, gorgeous building. We've already rebooked to stay again
  : There was nothing not to like here, for me. In fact we both loved it, even my partner said he was a bit wowed by the place! One thing I will say, which the hotel do mention themselves is about the stairs. If you do not do well with stairs or have mobility challenges, then ask for a lower floor when booking your room. I loved the view from our room but we were on the top floor which was up quite a few stairs. For me this is in no way a negative but for some it will be important.

  : Wonderful traditional hotel that has been tastefully updated. It’s a great location, close to Bamburgh castle & the beach & only a few miles from Seahouses to take one of the many boat tours to the Farne Islands. This was my main reason for visiting. The rooms are comfortable & have everything you need, including lots of power sockets next to mirrors! Very important to ladies! It was a lovely surprise to have a bath too - so many hotels just have showers these days. The staff were all a credit to the hotel, friendly & chatty to all the guests. They seemed genuinely interested in their guests. The breakfast was a buffet style for cereal & toast etc then hot breakfasts cooked to order. There was a great choice, including smoked salmon options which were delicious.
  : There isn’t really anything. Just bear in mind that if you go to bed early there will be people leaving the bar & restaurant late in the evening so there may be a bit of noise at this time. There are also a lot of stairs & no lift, so if you struggle then let the hotel know that you need a lower floor room.

  : The room was huge and very luxurious, private parking which is a godsend and an absolutely lovely hotel. Breakfast was spot on, and staff are great.
  : It's an expensive stop over. But you definitely get what you pay for.
