Great stay

Room was perfect for the price. Our room was a little stuffy due to no air flow. Room had a small fan that helped a little. Everyone was very friendly and location was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was very nice.

Great place to stay or just have a beer

Great place to stay or just have a beer. We only stayed one night, but would have no problem in staying longer next time. Started the next morning with a freshly cooked breakfast which was excellent.

Lovely

Lovely pub with rooms, and I had a super big room with a bath and huge bed! Easy check in, lovely staff. Enjoyed dinner, lots of choice. Again, great choice at breakfast but service at breakfast let it down - young lad who didn’t appear to be interested in the residents at all. I’d not let it put me off staying again.

Nice, spacious room with everything you could possibly need and more. Great breakfast with lots of nice choices. Conveniently close to the bus stop from Berwick-Upon-Tweed. The only slight downside was that the pub patrons were noisy outside on the Saturday night.
