We stayed here for one night, booked in at 2pm and we were given a lovely suite with a separate sitting room which opened out into a garden area. Our meal was beautiful, we enjoyed all 3 courses. Good wholesome food which was thoroughly enjoyable. The owners took their time to chat as well as giving us plenty of time... More

A lovely place to stay for a relaxed few days away. The room was comfortable and nicely furnished. Good value B&B with the added bonus of a restaurant on site. We dined at the restaurant both nights and the food was of good quality. Lovely family run business and would recommend it as a place to stay. More

The Masons Arms is well located for an easy drive to some of Northumbria's top attractions and is only ten minutes from the town of Alnwick. The hotel seems a little tired and may be is suffering from falling trade in the recession. The Forge annex has good sized and traditional bedrooms which need a modest upgrade to keep up... More

Comfortable and clean room and en - suite in stable block at rear. Good parking area - easy to keep an eye on vehicle. Friendly, helpful staff. Good food but a little cramped in dining / bar area. Very nice full English breakfast. Nice rural, historic location but you need to follow the directions off the A1.carefully. More

We only dined here so I can not comment on accomodation. The bar and restaurant area, the toilet area and entrance hall desperately need updating. The staff were pleasant but we felt they only did as much as they needed to; nothing more. I was surprised by how plain the menu was and how it lacked ANY dish that I... More

Firstly I am sorry that this diner did not enjoy her experience with us as it is always our intention to make each evening a pleasurable one. To respond to the critisisms in turn, our entrance hall has been recarpeted and further work will be done at the end of the season. The bar area was refurbished at the begining... More

Very friendly welcome, and indeed all the staff were very helpful and nice. Really made it a nice place to come back to in the evening. The room was very comfortable and well kitted out, with a balcony with great views over the fields. The bar/restaurant was excellent - really nice to just sit there and enjoy a bottle of... More

This is a reasonable place to stay for one night with good, reasonably priced pub food although the eating area is in the main bar rather than in a separate restaurant. The owners were welcoming but our room in the adjoining ugly motel type annexe was very tired and required urgent re-furbishment. If there are rooms in the main Inn... More

I had a comfortable double room, friendly welcome from the owners. Had a fantastic meal that night.....I am pessimistic about choosing the lamb chops which have become the most expensive thing on menus but these were three large very tasty chops! The local smoked kipper pate was great too and the Profiteroles should come with a health warning !! Good... More

The rooms are in a rear motel type block, not great when it is pouring down first thing in the morning and you need to do a quick sprint across the yard to get your breakfast. However, the breakfasts are fab. The evening meal was very good and presented nicely, but the place lacks atmosphere and warmth, dining room was... More
