Pros:

Brilliant pub with rooms.

The room i stayed in was huge, with a lovely large bathroom and sofa/tv area. More like a suite than a double room.
There is a very good food menu and the restaurant also offers takeaway. They were completely dog friendly, not just "dogs allowed", making sure her every need is met.
They were very trusting with guests, allowing us to walk through the bar area after closing, to enter or exit the property.
Super clean

Pros:

Having had a few medical issues this year, this was our first break this year and we greatly enjoyed our stay. Whilst there wasn't much of a view from the window, the room was spacious and had a great deal of storage. It is an old building and has the issues you would expect in such circumstances. The food was typical pub food, but there was plenty of it. For our taste, we would have like less emphasis on the cooked aspect of breakfast, but we were certainly in the minority of those staying. If staying in the area again, we woulf be more than happy to book again.

Basic B&B in good location
Pros:

Well decorated room with the basics included (shampoo, conditioner, tea, coffee). Breakfast was options of fry up or egg dishes. No options of fruit.
Pillows on bed were very flat and not comfy.
Good location and free parking on street.
Fire alarm went off on Sunday morning and staff were not able to turn it off until the manager arrived which was an inconvenience.

Pros:

There were several disturbances during late Eve and early morning lasting for a long time.
The staff were quite dismissive about this.
I did mention this on leaving and was given discount for the dog staying.

Lovely and comfy spot
Pros:

Lovely location on main/only street in Alnmouth, near several nice pubs and restaurants- also, above a very nice pub. Bed was comfy and good size for two, decor was lovely and fresh, shower pressure was good, perfect cleanliness. Pub food is amazing and they easily found us a table. You get a key to the front door so if you come back after the pub has closed you let yourself in through the empty bar which was a cool experience. Helpful staff, nice varied breakfast options. Loved it.
