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.

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.

Fantastic birthday break - can't wait to return

A lovely 2 night stay in a country village inn with plenty of parking. We loved the location, our room was clean with a comfy bed, the staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was of good quality. Great for exploring the Northumberland coast, particularly Lindisfarne, Berwick Upon Tweed and Bamburgh Castle - all close by.
