Great break
Pros:

Nice breakfast and nice toast for my second day really large scottie sandwich with coleslaw and chips in the bar with a nice pint of Guinness, great parking all around the hotel,would have liked to try the Craster kippers for breakfast, but chickened out

Cons:

A bus stop nearer the hotel would have been nice and a bit warmer weather also a tea /coffee shop in the village as the previous one owner has retired....it is a miss and a great opportunity for someone

A good place to stay in Warkworth
Pros:

Fabulous location, comfortable room with a beautiful view, decent breakfast and felt quiet and safe

Cons:

Something to be aware of especially in summer, if you have a room at the back and open the window, the bins were right below my room and the smell was quite pungent.

Disappointed from what was advertised, what we expected, and the cost for what we received.
Pros:

Friendly staff

Cons:

Pets - pet friendly hotel, which is good i guess. But the blanket on our bed had dog hairs in! Either they need separate rooms for pet people, different blankets for pets, or both.

WiFi- would not work in the hotel bedroom. Only in the hallways.

Breakfast- was not a great Breakfast. Small and disappointing. Also kippers should be banned! All we could smell and taste were kippers!

Disappointing but thankfully it was for just one night.
Pros:

Full vegetarian breakfast served did not match what was on the menu - had to ask for missing item. Member of staff serving was very polite, friendly and obliging

Cons:

Discombobulating to learn there were no staff in the hotel overnight. At 81 and travelling alone I felt vulnerable. The room was cramped and shabby - nothing like the room on the website. No curtains and the slats on the blinds had to be closed manually.
