Stayed at the Cottage Inn for a 2 night break - great location. The rooms were a decent size and very clean. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. With beer at 2 for £5 and a bottle of wine for £9 it was well worth the money. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends.

A group of seven stayed four nights and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent for touring Northumberland. All on one level with delightful grounds, a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Rooms are modern and very comfortable, good food and drinks all at a reasonable price. Nice to find a dog friendly hotel and there are specific rooms for dog owners and still of the same quality. The owners deserve their success and the staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We would not hesitate in recommending the Cottage Inn and will certainly return.

Whilst staying in Northumberland we visited the Cottage Inn for dinner. The welcome was typical, warm north country, the service excellent and friendly and the food was wonderful. My wife had lamb, tender and succulent whilst I had a venison burger with excellent chips! Wine by the glass and real ale complemented the meal.

Well worth a visit!

Ours was a one night stay bed and breakfast for two weary cyclists at an inn that quite frankly was the only choice in the area to fit our requirements ie real ale, evening meal, single night stay, twin beds and secure parking for cycles.
There was a fantastic choice of well kept real ales and food of a high quality with better than average portions. Breakfast was particularly good, in fact probably one of the best full english plate fulls I've ever demolished. Service throughout was excellent and very friendly.
Room was clean having been recently refurbished and was of decent size, certainly bigger than most on our trip. Our room, on ground floor level, looked out onto gardens and was very quiet
The inn is in new ownership and a lot of work has been carried out in recent months on improving hotel facilities - to good effect.
Many thanks are due to hotel management who upon hearing of trouble we had been having with punctures, actually took us and bike into nearby Alnwick for repair work to be carried out - thanks again Debbie.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this hotel to anyone interested in experiencing a well run and exceptionally friendly inn (hotel)
