Northumberland coast

The hotel was lovely and the town of Alnmouth was very nice too , food in the restaurant was very nice with good service. The only downside was the smell from the kitchen made its way into our room from the vents outside our window.

Such an ideal spot to stop on our road trip! 2 minute walk to a beautiful coastline and lots of nice pubs to explore! The hotel room was spacious, clean, comfortable, perfect for our family of 4. Nice tea and coffee facilities too. Breakfast the next morning was 10/10!

Lovely hotel, great staff.

We booked a one night stay in August and were so pleased to have done so. Our arrival --early , was met with " cannot book in until 4pm" which was a disappointment and unusual . However at 4pm were greeted by very helpful staff who sorted out our faulty TV . Dinner was very good and breakfast also. A really good stay in a lovely hotel.
