My husband booked a special weekend break at this supposedly boutque hotel for our Wedding Anniversary. First impressions were good. It looked lovely from the outside, well maintained, plenty of carparking, and the girl who booked us in was very pleasant. Our room was small and dark with a view of a tarmac drive.

The Building is a listed Building (previously a pub... more

Plenty of private parking when you arrive, accessed through a narrow passageway and a steep ramp which was fine for us in our little sports car,... more

I stayed at this hotel when I got stuck driving home on the A1 from Edinburgh to London due to the floods at Morpeth. It was a case of just finding the nearest town that had somewhere to stay for the night. The staff were not particularly hospitable but then they are bar and restaurant staff rather than hoteliers. There... more
