Nice enough place but didn't know we were going to a tiny village miles from where we thought we were going!! Thanks to your rubbish booking system we were hoodwinked into thinking we were actually going to Morpeth not 6 miles away!!!!

Cons:

The location was not good enough

Pros:

Convenient location for our trip

Cons:

Got the impression that they must be leaving the place with unhelpful attitude i.e closed bar at halftime during England's match ( but it was getting boring). Served up a pint of cloudy ale and reluctant to change it saying it probably tastes ok. Served up dinner and breakfast with no comment. Food pretty good though apart from lamb which was tough.

Returning visit
Pros:

Not my first stay here and doubt it will be my last. Always a friendly welcome from all the staff. Nothing is too much for them. Comfy rooms, and who doesn't love a Full English (the sausages are my favourite). Beautiful location, and less than 40 minutes walk to the beach.

Pros:

Only problem was the heating had been left on high so the room was like an oven. It was sorted promptly.
