The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much for them. Our room was lovely - very clean and everything we needed in it. The breakfast was fab with lots of choice. Would definitely stay there again.
Very clean everywhere. Staff very friendly. Breakfast great selection. Toiletries in bathroom, luxury ones. Only negative was the twin bedded room, had to squeeze around 2 beds to get into them, not enough space.
Well located with small car park at the rear, although we always managed to get parked there. We had a deluxe king room, very clean, large space and great shower. Not the cheapest hotel but all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel. 😃

Super cosy room. Wonderful breakfast and attentive friendly staff
Easily the best accommodation of a four-day stay in Northumberland. Everything in the Whittling House makes your trip a little bit better, from lovely staff to beautiful decor, homemade shortbread for the rooms to the comfy armchairs in the bar. Definitely worth the more premium price!

Room felt like a very nice bedroom rather than a hotel room which was really nice
The staff was lovely and very helpful. The breakfast menu and options were delightful and delicious. My husband recommends the Smoke trout and eggs. we loved the authenticity of our experience. The location was fantastic It was a very short walk to the ocean and we thoroughly enjoyed all the lovely people and their beautiful dogs. Very dog friendly town.
