nice clean unpretentious hotel with good food (not fine dining) lovely staff who give you a nice warm welcome. Smashing breakfast. Jan is a lovely lady! The cottages are HUGE and well appointed if you are a family. more

My husband & I and 2 friends shared Police Cottage No1. Great facilities downstairs, modern lounge, new kitchen (even a dishwasher) dining & amenities(even a botle of wine & fizz in the fridge). Upstairs 2 very comfortable ensuites. Fabulous coastline with beutiful fine sandy beaches and coves, and lots of castles. Excellent location for touring whole of Northumberland. Very good... more

We stayed in Stable cottage across the road from the hotel for two nights. The accommodation was ideal for a couple, being comfortable and clean. The staff were both helpful and friendly. we had a wonderful short break in a fantastic location and would recommend to our friends. more

We stayed overnight in a cottage property across the road from the hotel which was comfortable and well decorated. After a two week gastronomic tour of the Lakes and Scotland we were hugely disappointed at the poor quality food served here. The dining room has no atmosphere and ambience and resembles a motorway cafe. Starters of langoustine - full of... more

Would recommend the 'self catering' style of the cottage suites. Old barn was very comfortable and spacious for us as a family of four (plus dog!). Didn't feel part of the hotel at all but had flexibility of their menu. With hindsight, the pretty basic breakfast in the hotel was an option we didn't need and could have done without.... more

We stayed for 5 nights on half board or perhaps endured the 5 nights would be more accurate. The hotel was surrounded by scaffolding which the receptionist told us on arrival was only for a week!!! The room was not particularly clean. We noticed that it was not hoovered or the bathroom floor cleaned for several days. The room smelt... more
