My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was well-equipped but suffered from excessive light due to its location. The service was friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome.

The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although in need of brightening up and some maintenance, were clean and comfortable. The service was consistently friendly and welcoming during our three-night stay. The location was central to our needs, but noise from hotel deliveries was a minor downside. The dining options were extensive and satisfying. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is wonderfully situated, offering fantastic views of the castle. The four-poster bed in the attic room was charming, but the limited ceiling height made showering a bit challenging. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to be accommodating despite some shortages. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the castle and the beach, perfect for dog-friendly stays. The dining experience was good, especially considering the varied options and the adherence to safety measures. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the bathroom needs a refresh. The location is superb for tourists, although it has some odd corners. The dining experience is brilliant, with a wide range of choices, but typical Corsican products might not suit everyone. Overall, a place with great potential and some areas needing attention.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were comfortable with a good shower and a big well-lit bathroom, just as advertised. Despite having to keep both windows open, we enjoyed a separate lobby area where we could relax with our travel cot and have a peaceful evening while admiring the castle view. The service was top-notch, and both breakfast and evening service were brilliant. However, there seemed to be a shortage of staff during our visit. The hotel's central location was perfect for accessing the beach and the castle, although it could get noisy at times. The dining experience was fine, with very pleasant staff, although dinner was only acceptable. The facilities met our needs, and overall, it was a wonderful break.

I found this hotel to be a mix of lovely and slightly underwhelming. The rooms, while fabulous, were on the smaller side and could have been better advertised as single rooms. The service was excellent, with staff being very welcoming and attentive to food allergies. The location was good with pleasant surroundings for people-watching and greenery nearby. The dining experience was mostly good, but a long wait for breakfast was a downside.

The hotel is wonderfully located near Bamburgh Castle and just a short drive to Holy Island, making it perfect for exploring the area. The rooms were a bit dated and lacked some modern amenities, but the bathroom was spacious with a good-sized walk-in shower. The service, while initially abrupt, improved when they welcomed our Lurcher puppy. The dining experience was excellent with a delicious selection of dishes, and the location is brilliant for visiting the castle and enjoying the beach.
