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.

Really good one night stopover en route from London to Edinburgh by car. Clean and comfortable room, which was thoughtfully equipped. Wouldn't hesitate to book again, nor to recommend to others.

Only one night, but clean and tidy. Easy to get a table for the evening meal, which was very good, and a good selection of drinks as well! 5 stars.

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.

Stay for 4 nights March 2025. Rooms and bed comfortable. The shower was great. Had a power cut in village when there but breakfast staff managed to still provide a cooked breakfast. Good portions of food which set us up for a day of exploring. Menu is not extensive but the food is really nice. Staff friendly. Enjoyed our stay
