Very friendly and comfortable
It was very friendly, the food was very good and the atmosphere was relaxed. The room (suite) was fine for our needs and the bed was very comfy. I guess, if we had been staying more than 2 nights, i would say the bathroom was very cramped and had no surfaces to put stuff on and the sink was no good for having a wash in as it was tiny. But we were only there a couple of nights and it was fine.

Lovely stay, the room we stayed in was a bit tired looking, however it was clean and bed was very comfortable. The lovely staff were just pleasant and helpful. The breakfast, (included in the price) was huge and tasty. I really liked the fact that they offered a packed lunch as an alternative to the breakfast. The village of Rothbury was beautiful.

Weekend getaway.
The room was lovely, clean and spacious.
We enjoyed a well cooked evening meal as well as the English breakfast in the morning.
We will certainly think about returning for another visit.

Warm & Friendly
We stayed here to explore the local area - particularly Cragside. We learned that the area has so much to offer - so will definitely be back! Our room was roomy and well equipped. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We didn't eat here (except for the excellent breakfast) but the food looked good and the bar had a nice vibe. Beers are good! Easy and free parking right outside

Lovely one-night stay in Rothbury (nr Cragside)
Heidi is a lovely host and made us feel welcome. The children loved playing pool in the bar. The photos make the hotel/food look grander/more fine dining than it is, but we had a very pleasant stay nonetheless, and the staff were very friendly. Ideal for a one-night stop-off while we visited Cragside and a great sense of community.

The staff were fabulous very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent for the price. We had a dog room but it was clean and spacious. My only complaint was the tv we could only get bbc channels to work. But we were out all day . Lovely village and easy to travel from . Nice food available all day . Good value

New beds please.
Firstly the good bits: lots of free parking right outside the door, friendly and efficient staff and the room was clean. Sadly the outside area wasn’t so attractive and the beds need replacing. So uncomfortable. We were right next to the kitchen and beer garden so it was a bit noisy while the pub was open. The food was very traditional and of an acceptable standard and reasonably priced. A nice little village for a wander and very handy for Cragside.
