Amazing friendly stay
Pros:

Location is amazing, view of lake from attached restaurant and room. Atmosphere was so friendly in both hotel and restaurant, they could not do enough for you. Rooms are good sized and laid out really well, with en suite bathrooms which are really clean. Value is fantastic and really worth the price. Meal deals in restaurant are worth it when you see what you get for your money. Noise levels are good, we didn't hear much inside our room from inside or outside hotel. The staff are amazing, very friendly and helpful with good knowledge of area. Very big car park outside with loads of room.

Perfect for exploring
Pros:

We stayed for 4 nights in November.
Check out in was easy and staff were friendly.
We requested a ground floor room not too far from the reception area.
Our allocated room was at the back of the hotel adjacent to the A road, whilst we could hear the traffic noise it did not disturb our sleep.
Room was fine and up to the usual Premier inn standard.
For security reasons the window would only open 2 inches and as the air conditioning was restricted not to go below 19 degrees ,the room could get a bit stuffy.
It wasn’t a big issue but could be during the warmer weather.
The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring along the coast and inland.
Morpeth was our favourite place that we visited.
Amble,New biggin on the sea, Alnwick ,Walkworth and Alnmouth are also worth a visit.

Exceptional Service and Warm Hospitality!
Pros:

The team at this hotel are truly amazing! From the moment I arrived, they were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to go above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Amanda was so friendly and her attention to detail and genuine care really stood out — it’s clear that all staff take great pride in what they do. I can’t recommend this hotel enough for anyone looking for outstanding service and a memorable experience.

Employ more food service staff
Pros:

Overall I was happy with my stay
Despite only being 30 minutes early for check in I was asked to pay £15 for early check in
The bedroom was clean and comfortable a little tired if I'm honest
The meal deal was reasonably priced the food was decent if not outstanding
Food service staff were run off their feet and as a result tables remained dirty.
The staff were extremely helpful and polite
Please Premier inn
Employ more staff or you will lose the decent staff you have in place
I really felt sorry for them

No air con
Pros:

Chose this hotel as the website says it has air con. Unfortunately I didn’t notice the rooms do not have air con and are very stuffy and warm. My error but they shouldn’t show air con on the website.

Relaxing stay with a great outlook.
Pros:

This Premier Inn has all of the attributes of a decent class hotel while still remaining folksy.
Situated in the Queen Elizabeth park with its lake and wildlife literally front and centre.
Access to the hotel is across a wide area of rough ground which can be a test of your vehicles suspension if you stray from the narrow strip of tarmac.

Shocking Customer Service
Pros:

I’ve been trying to contact this hotel to check a booking with them and have called over ten times — no one ever picks up the phone. It’s incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. If this is how they handle simple enquiries, I dread to think what the service is like in person. Very disappointing experience so far.

Premier Inn but a wee bit better
Pros:

Whilst it's a bit in the middle of nowhere it is a large, purpose built, very clean and comfortable inn. Staff were friendly, loads of parking and a huge pub next door. Premier Inn standard but with a particularly large room and I had a good night's sleep

Better than a lot of expensive hotels
Pros:

The Ashington Premier Inn is, in my experience, one of the best of the Premier Inn chain in a good location, with a generally very good accessible room and attached restaurant.

Beautiful Lakeview Stay
Pros:

Stayed here as I was working the Great North Run. Far enough away to not have a ridiculous price, but close enough to get where I needed in plenty of time. Great location, loads of parking. View of the lake is lovely, definitely go for a lake view if they're available.

Premier Inn Standards, 5 Star Location
Pros:

Room wise 100% what you expect from Premier Inns. Everything else.... 10x better! Staff all warm and very friendly (it's the North East, it's how it is!) Food was cracking (Katsu loaded fries, changed my life!) And the location is the greatest! Right by the lake, plenty of wildlife and friendly birds to feed and footpaths to lead you about and walk off your tea. Worth the diversion off the A1 if you are passing thru, and spot on as a base for getting into Newcastle or any of the coastal spots.
