"Great little hotel ,but didn't like the way service charge was added to bar bill ...making drinks very expensive"

"Very nice environment"

"Really enjoyed my first stay. Staff were very pleasent. Breakfast was pleantiful and well presented. You must have your own transport as there were no buses. There's too much of a long walk into Alnwick by the A1 mortorway. That's not very pleasent or safe. The only issue I had was with the awlful television (It certainly needs updating) in the Cart Shed accommodation. The hand controller was useless."

"As a regular traveller and user of many types of hotel and / or hotel / BnB I must say that The standard of decor and cleanliness was the worst I have encountered. Wallpaper was hanging off /  earth wires in the bathroom were exposed. Towels were dirty with rust on them. All the walls were marked / dirty or chipped. The bedroom carpet in room 30 was SO dirty we could smell the dust. Bedroom lights did not work. Halls and stairs were dirty with wallpaper hanging loose and dirty. Stair carpets were so dirty they smelt. Stud walls were hanging loose. All ceilings had dirty marks… I could go on and on and only hope that this review initiates  improvements or prevents others from booking. We did not eat here due to the poor first impressions however the staff seemed happy and  welcoming."

"Thought we'd try this for lunch. It was ok, nothing special, end of service? We got a nice welcome from the server, very friendly. Soup was ok and the halloumi open sandwich was fine. Not sure if we'll return, although they did offer a three course lunch for OAPs for £10."

"The hygiene is good, the reception service is good, and the parking is convenient. Because I didn't make a reservation in advance, I didn't have dinner. When I left the hotel, I discovered that all the restaurants in the city were fully booked. This has never happened before. I could only buy some bread from the supermarket."

"Lovely atmosphere, welcoming staff, fine ales and cracking food. Third visit today - and it gets better. Highly recommend the ‘fish’n’chip’ butty. Will return soon."

"Very clean hotel with great facilities. We had an issue with a mug that shattered in the room dealt with quickly by reception staff. The breakfast had plenty of choice and also for vegetarians my only criticism was cooked breakfast items not very hot as kept warm under lamps so not freshly cooked."

"Had a lovely night spent in one of the garden rooms. Room clean and a great shower. Spent the night outside with the chimnea. Fantastic value for money"
