Pros:

Was greeted by a excellent young man, with a great sense of humour. Explained everything that we need to know and apologise that we had missed dinner. Which was fine as we had eaten on the way up.
Breakfast was amazing, cearals, toast and pastries plus a good full English too!! Highly recommend!! Coffee was good too!
Great over night stop and definitely would stay again.

Cons:

Bedroom/bathroom was clean and tidy. The room was lovely looking over the market place. Just the beds were little uncomfortable.

Some things were a little tired and in need of renewal in our room.

It met our need for accommodation as we walked the Northumberland Coastal path.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. The historic building was interesting. The shower was very good. Staff were helpful

Cons:

The hotel is generally a bit rundown. There was a water stain in the ceiling of our bedroom and the window frame looked as though it had not been painted in some time.

Pros:

bőséges, finom, ízletes reggeli

Cons:

a foglalt szoba nem volt előkészítve, mocskos, poros, székek behalmozva a szoba közepére . fesztivál után voltak
reklamálás során első körben azt mondta a személyzet hogy nem az ő szállodája de a menedzser felhívása után kaptunk előkészített, tiszta szobákat
hajnal 5.42-kor megszólalt a tűzjelző éktelen csörömpöléssel, személyzet sehol aki leállította volna, több mint egy órás az épület előtti várakozás, a tűzoltók kiérkezése, az átvizsgálás után lehetett csak visszatérni a szobákba

We were staying in a room away from the main hotel, there were uncleaned areas, there were cobwebs in the room and the room really would benefit from being updated
