Fantastic comfortable hotel - Lovely, tastefully decorated rooms which were warm, cozy and spacious . The staff were fantastic and friendly and extremely informative and helpful . We enjoyed our meals in the bistro including breakfast in 3 mornings and an evening meal - the food was delicious and every attention to detail was given.
We were very impressed with all aspects of our stay and will definitely book again when back in Northumbria!
A lovely boutique hotel very well located to the town centre and next to the castle.
Room was comfortable and tastefully decorated, with a nice en-suite. Great cooked to order breakfast!
Staff were excellent.
