Overall amazing stay we will definitely be back.
Pros:

Really friendly and helpful staff, we booked extremely last minute and they were nothing but accommodating. Room was spotless and a great price for such a lovely location. Breakfast was delicious and the hotel even has a separate doggy lounge so we could sit somewhere quiet with our pup!

Cons:

Breakfast buffet selection slightly limited, may benefit from some pastries/fruit salad personally.

The staff are an absolute credit to this establishment
Pros:

Great location and lovely friendly pub. We lost a bracelet when we stayed and reported it to the hotel staff when we checked out. Amazingly three weeks later we received a call to say that housekeeping had found it. We can’t explain our relief and our thanks to the fantastic staff for the unbelievable customer service.

Cons:

Nothing

Lovely - would definitely return for the warm welcome and lovely food!
Pros:

Lovely friendly clean and bright hotel. Really nice standard room with comfy bed and a fantastic shower. Lovely and quiet at night.

Amazing restaurant and gorgeous food.

Staff were without exception friendly and helpful.

Parking either in front of hotel or on street very close by.

Cons:

Just a little bit of a drive to get to it but the area was lovely - not really an issue at all, but just meant to get a choice of eateries we had to drive to Alnwick.
