Reviews and Ratings
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 location was convenient for my coastal holiday plans, but there were some maintenance issues noticed. Dining options were varied, but service could be slow at times.
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 offered a very good sized family room for three, clean and well-located. The bar was a good spot to unwind, but the bathroom arrangement needed 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.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was wonderful, with beautiful views of the Northumberland coast, and the staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond. However, the room was a bit challenging with the low sloping ceilings, and the bathroom definitely needed some renovation. The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, but overall a memorable stay.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and overlooked the castle, offering a quiet atmosphere. However, the family room was a bit cold. The service from the staff was exceptional, they even set up a continental breakfast for us. The location was ideal with its own parking and close proximity to Bamburgh Castle. The dining experience was fantastic, with a varied selection at breakfast. Overall, a great value for money.
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.
The hotel had a great location with beautiful castle views and delicious food within walking distance. The rooms were a bit tired-looking and overpriced, but the dining experience was fantastic with lots of choices. The service was a mix of being helpful and pleasant, with some disturbances late at night. The location was brilliant for exploring the Northumberland coast, though the breakfast was a letdown.
The hotel is in a convenient location, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The rooms, although small, are suitable for a short stay. Some staff appear stressed, and the parking situation is not ideal, but overall it's an okay choice for a night.
