One night away for belated birthday present for wife, happy birthday.
Pros:

What's not to like? A reinvigoration of an old pub, done as well as you could imagine yourself if you had free rein.
Booking, welcome, stay, departure, all top class.

Cons:

My scrambled eggs could have been a little bit more yellow at breakfast. Also the melba toast could have been a nice chewy sourdough.

A good choice for an overnight stay when exploring the area.
Pros:

Hotel is situated in the middle of Norham, which is a historic village with a ruined castle. The hotel is more of a pub with rooms, but the facilities are up to good hotel standards. The lunch and breakfast were excellent.

Cons:

The hotel does not have an evening restaurant, but the other pub in the village more than compensates for this lack. Small point. A cheap coffee pod machine in the bedroom would be a considerable improvement on instant coffee sachets. (I frequently make this point in other reviews)

Great stay and will be returning!
Pros:

The room was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you would need. The shower was also brilliant and very powerful. The pub downstairs was cosy and welcoming with a great choice of drinks and snacks. The breakfast was delicious, well worth it. We also ate at the sister pub on the evening and would recommend visiting that too - the food was amazing!.

Cons:

The bed was absolutely fine for me, but my partner is tall and found that his feet kept getting stuck in the bars!

Geordies in Norham.
Pros:

What a lovely bar, very helpful and friendly staff, and welcoming. We checked in and was asked if we had a good journey and if the A1 was busy.
We were shown to our room which was spotless, after freshing up we went down to the bar, and greeted by the customer's and had a chat.
The drinks were good and good price.
After a wander around the village we went upstairs to our room, lovely and warm (room 2) watched a bit telly and settled down for sleep.
Really good comfy bed and pillows, slept really well. Next morning went down to breakfast.
The breakfast was plentiful and beautiful, and again the morning staff very helpful and friendly.
A fantastic stay and we will definitely be back.

Cons:

Nothing everything was perfect.

Excellent central village location
Pros:

The hotel is located in the centre of the village. A 15 minute walk to either the castle in one direction, or the river in the other. The room was small, but had everything we needed and exceptionally clean. The bathroom was outstanding. We ordered breakfast the night before and it was beautifully presented and delicious. The hotel is very popular with locals at lunchtime for its meal service. There is a bar which again was very popular in the evenings. All in all, this is a gem of a place if you are looking for somewhere to stay in the Norham area. We enjoyed our walk along the river, across the bridge and into Scotland.

Cons:

Nothing
