The Red Admiral Gosforth CA20 1BP

The accommodation provides clean, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and friendly service. Guests enjoy well-equipped amenities and a traditional bar, but some find the staff overly chatty.

Came on the off chance the last weekend for a Sunday roast for the end of our holiday (we are local) was not disappointed. Roast lamb is to die for as was the crumble and the chocolate brownie. Back again this weekend before heading to work for 3pm in another hostelry 😊. Cannot praise Matt the head chef and Debbie the waitress that never stops together with the rest of the team. It's very popular with the locals so advise to remember to book if you can. John & Dawn

The first room was like a sauna. The radiator was on and was unable to turn in down as the thermostat was broken, there was left over goods in the fridge from the previous people. The room was full of holes and cobwebs and mould in the bathroom. The property was advertised to have cleaning supplies and toiletries. There was washing up liquid soap and toilet roll and nothing else. The shower curtain falls and if there is a bit of steam in the bathroom. Sit on the toilet and the whole thing moves. Room 2 had no functioning toilet and was as dirty as room 1. The fridge made an horrendous noise on a night and found it really hard to drift off to sleep. It that didn't do it the big glowing green light will do. Both rooms had no running cold water in the bathrooms. Our booking was for 2 night and it was that bad we cancelled the second night and requested a refund. We have had a refund for the second night but no compensation for the first night.
