This is an excellent well-run hotel. Our room (and all the others, I guess) has been modernsed to a very high standard in recent years. Everything has been done well, with great attention to detail. The restaurant has a very good, reasonably priced menu. It is clearly very popular. Without exception, the staff were excellent. Congratulations to everyone involved in the redevelopment of the hotel!

Quiet location but only 20 mins to Berwick upon Tweed with Holy Island, Bamburgh and Alnwick within easy reach. Bedroom was huge with a comfy bed. Staff were pleasant. Good choice for breakfast and their evening meals were excellent. Restaurant gets very busy so its advisable to book a table.
