A good place to stay in Newbiggen.
Pros:

This was a good price for the room. The room was spacious and the bathroom was good. The bed was comfortable. The food in the pub was good.

Cons:

Nothing really. When we arrived our room hadn't been made up due to staff illness but the team quickly put that right and gave us a free drink.

Lovely rooms, nice staff and it's in a great location in Newbiggin.
Pros:

We stay at this hotel annually to attend the brilliant Soul by the Sea event and it works out perfectly. It's a short walk to the sea front and the rooms and large and comfortable.

Cons:

The breakfast included is continental so we don't normally stay for breakfast.

Pros:

The room was well fitted, dinner was reasonable at a fair price.
Booking said breakfast, not English or continental.
This turned out to be a self help continental, !! Everything was left on a table with the meat/ cheese( slices) on a plate covered with cling film, on a hot day.
The meat was clearly sweating!!. Be more honest state at the point of booking what I'm paying for

Cons:

Breakfast

The Queens Head is a nice pub with friendly staff and locals.
Pros:

Good central position in the town and near the beach

Cons:

The only thing l have to say, is l like a cooked breakfast in a morning, not fruit and cereals, although if you like that there was a good selection.
