Room was spotless, very quirky pub, with friendly staff and a great atmosphere in the bar
The food is really good and its an ideal place to stay and explore the area
Cute and cosy inn! We enjoyed our stay here, and the food and drink was excellent. Staff were also great, and the location couldn’t be better. The only issue was a lot of noise coming through from other rooms, waking us up.
Lovely room small but adequate situated above a real old pub which was very welcoming no parking on site but a car park was within 150 metres fantastic English breakfast at very reasonable prices
Lovely room, sea view and excellent breakfast.
We had big suitcases and it was a challenge getting them up and down the stairs. There is a big car park within a couple of minutes walk.
Relaxing hotel, we were lucky to have a room with a perfect view of the harbour, cozy and friendly bar. Breakfast was amazing good quality food. Highly recommended!

Quirky building with character. Loved the options at breakfast and the food in the restaurant. You can step straight out onto the harbour and enjoy a peaceful break.
This is a lovely quaint old hotel with heaps of character and friendly staff. It's ideally situated for Bamburgh beach and castle with lots of walks around the Seahouses area.
Really lovely stay at this traditional inn. Friendly staff, comfortable bed and a fantastic breakfast. Bar area was lovely and cozy and perfect for a winter night in. Great food in the restaurant too. Would highly recommend if staying in the area.
Wonderful Hotel/pub, one of the best. Lovely room, superb breakfast, excellent staff. Fine range of real ales at the bar in tip top condition. Have stayed here and ate/drank here many times and always a absolute a joy to return..
