Book a Coldstream Cottage

"Room was very nice. Beautiful manor, quiet countryside surroundings. Dining and lounge area first class. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Only regret we had was only booking for one night! If we return to the area, we’ll be staying again!"

"The cleanliness was excellent. Food was very good and plenty of it. The staff were friendly and efficient. Very quiet and in an excellent position for many local places of interest. I would recommend it. "

"First visit here and very pleasantly surprised. We arrived about 7pm and immediately you could feel it had a very good ambience. It was busy with most people enjoying an eveing meal. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We hadn't booked a table for our evening meal as we weren't sure of our plans when booking the room. However, on arrival staff enquired if we wished to dine and a table was reserved for us at 8pm. The food here very good and generous. I had duck spring rolls which were fab and my husbands chicken supreme was equally great. Looking around I could see diners really enjoying the food. We stayed in the Bamburgh room which was very spacious, comfy bed and a really lovely en suite bathroom which was beautifully done out complete with rain shower. The room and bathroom were nice and warm. Bathroom towels were lovely, soft and scrumptious. The only downside was there was a sofa located at the bottom of the bed which was quite worn and probably should be replaced but other than that the room was lovely and tastefully decorated. As mentioned, very spacious. Breakfast was help yourself to tea, coffee soft drinks, 4 types of cereal, toast (toast it yourself in the toasting machine which was the best I've ever used!) plain yohurt, grapes and melon. Orders were taken for your cooked selection, full english etc. A really lovely place with great food. Will definitely return as a stop off on our journeys to Scotland as its a short drive from the A1."

"Fabulous thank you for a lovely stay, friendly, welcoming and a lovely place to stay"

"Lovely breakfast, flexible check in"

"Our first time at the Blue Bell, but won’t be our last! Really comfortable beds and pillows in a nice room with a lovely new bathroom. Food was excellent and all the staff, from Keith , the landlord, down, are friendly, kind and helpful, and all were happy in their jobs. We will be back! "

"An impressive looking property especially at night. The Concierge staff are very welcoming and helpful. The hotel has a good feel with lifts to both floors if required. The rooms are well appointed, modern and everything works well. The double shower was perfect. The spa is something else. It starts as you walk down the corridor giving you a feeling of calm with the music and smells. The staff are great, helpful and no silly rules. Once you enter the spa you experience the lovely layout and all the comfortable beds and loungers, almost spoilt for choice. The out door pool is one of the best i have experienced with two saunas a plunge pool and jacuzzi to compliment it all. Breakfast in the dinning room is very good. An excellent spread of fresh fruit, breads, cold counter and a good quality hot food. There is a chief who will make you anything to do with eggs. There are items they charge extra for which i couldn't understand. Ive never had to pay £7 for a bowl of porridge. Avocado on toast was more. They should look at scrapping them charges. We stayed at the hotel for a week but only dined in the restaurant (Charlies) on the first night. The portion sizes are simply to small. We came away still hungry. The prices even for a hotel make your eyes water. £19 for the smallest portion of cheese and biscuits i have ever had is not right. The quality and temperature of your coffee is dependent on who makes it. Still a quality hotel where would stay again "
