Comfortable stay very conveniently located.
Pros:

The Oaks was perfect for our overnight stay to break our journey north. Rooms were really lovely, spacious and comfy beds. Spotlessly clean and nice decor. Breakfast was also great with a lot of choice and set us up for our day ahead.

Cons:

I opted for the veggie breakfast whilst my husband had the full English. He said it was a bit overly salty for him. Otherwise nothing to complain about.

Mostly good, in the wrong location!
Pros:

Very nice staff, thoughtful and considerate.
Good little place.
Everything one needed

Cons:

Awful location on a roundabout which has all town traffic off/on A1!
The heat didn't help having to have windows wide open!

Lovely Stopover for Berwick
Pros:

Staff were wonderful, credit to the owner. So friendly, so helpful when needed. Jen coming out to help me particularly so, after very bad accident prevented me entering Alnwick on the hotel road - satnav not redirecting as usually does!

Cons:

Only thing was lasagne I ordered for dinner. Lasagne without a tomato sauce?!

Pros:

Parking, le pub typique, le prix abordable des boissons, la chambre spacieuse pour 4 personnes

Cons:

Il faisait très chaud dans la chambre donc on a dormi les fenêtres ouvertes mais pas mal de bruit à cause du trafic en plein carrefour

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay @ The Oaks, it was within walking distance to the town centre & a short drive to surrounding towns. All the staff were really pleasant & helpful.

Cons:

The only thing I would suggest is new pillows!

Pros:

The staff were friendly and breakfast were enjoyable.

Cons:

The Room we stayed in seemed a bit dark, the furniture was made of some sort of metal so was noisy. Toilet took a bit of flushing and sink tap could do with replacing as it leaked from the back & started trickling down the floor. Pillows were quite thin also. I think the most irritating thing for me was the gap round the room door, the lights in the hallway were on through the night and this effected my sleep.

Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, good breakfast, easy walking into town.
Pros:

Large bedroom and bathroom. Lovely toiletries provided. Staff very friendly and helpful at reception. Staff showed us to our room. Fan in bedroom was very necessary and welcome as room was very hot. Breakfast excellent. Evening meal very good too. As an arachnophobic I usually find cobwebs and spiders in uncleaned corners but this place was exceptionally clean. Powerful shower, soft and fluffy towels. 5 minutes walk from Barter Books. Would stay again.

Cons:

One of our single beds was creaky and uncomfortable, needs replacing. Pillows not very comfortable. Occasional noise heard in room, also during night (sounded like a macerator).
