Nice and clean properly. Plenty of parking spaces. Friendly and busy pub/hotel/restaurant. We stayed in Room 7 (Bamburgh Suite) and it was lovely and clean and comfortable. This js located at the front of the property with views of the church. The room was lovely and big with a sitting area. Hugh comfortable bed, plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits. Nice big and clean bathroom. The restaurant serves a good choice of food which was well presented and served promptly. It is a little on the expensive side but it is a very popular restaurant and so pleased I made a reservation prior to our stay as I don’t think there would have been any availability. When we stayed (May 22nd 2025) we were lucky to have gorgeous sunny weather and there is a nice patio outdoor seating area, perfect for summer evenings and with outdoor electric heaters for when the sun did go down. All in all we had a very pleasant and memorable stay at this hotel after a busy day exploring Northumberland. I recommend it and would stay again.

The 10am check out was abit too early for us but I know I could have asked for a later check out and it could have been honoured if possible.

good food quality and service excellent room

The Black Bull was a pub at one time, now it is a restaurant with rooms, there is no free seating bar area to sit and have a drink unless you book a meal. We had a table in the bar area and were quite satisfied for our one night stay but two groups who were eating in the Bull were complaining to the bar staff that they had nowhere to site prior to or after the booking time. This was a Saturday and fully booked, I guess it would not be a problem at a quiet time. This is a very new complete refurbishment and very nice, just needs to decide if it wants to be a pub or a restaurant We did request a double room via Bookings but ended up with a twin, not sure where the error occurred with the hotel or bookings.com Only able to check in at 4 pm, a bit late by most other

Paid a little extra for a larger room - well worth it. Lovely light / bright, clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bed and great shower. All staff were friendly and efficient. Bar had a good selection of beers / lagers. Evening meals were really good, the (trivial) issue was one of the starters was the size of a main. Breakfast certainly set us up for the day with plenty of choice and all freshly cooked. If we travel to this part of England again, this will be my first choice of places to stay.

The rooms were lovely and very well thought out with everything you could want or need. Decorated in a really tastefully and modern way but cosy and welcoming. The food was AMAZING! Truly fantastic.

The bed! Was like sleeping on a ship. Everytime one person moved the other did. Not great quality mattresses. 😕 the pillows were also lacking quality and were thin and had seen better days. B & B needs 2 things to be good. The bed, which was awful and breakfast, which was amazing. The hand soap bottle was broken and didn't pump and the toilet didn't flush properly.

An excellent stopping off place enroute to Scotland. Ample parking and warm welcome showing me to my room which was tastefully decorated with clear attention to detail (including charging points near bed and something to put your used tea bags in). I had my evening meal in the restaurant which was excellent. I sampled the crayfish salad and halibut which were both extremely tasty with friendly service. Breakfast was also tasty. All in all a most enjoyable stay and on my list to return to,

A little difficult to find your way out to car park prior to breakfast (e.g. when main doors not open)

Room, dinner and breakfast all fab. The price for B and B, with a great choice at breakfast, was really good value. The rooms are lovely and also warm and the open fire in the bar area, really welcoming. All staff that we encountered were lovely too. The evening meal options are fairly limited, but understandable in a rural location such as this as I’m sure in the winter months, gauging the number of customers must be very difficult. We had a very nice stay and would definitely return, if in the area again.

Nothing

Breakfast option was a good choice. Room was clean and well presented. Ground floor room had access directly the car park from our room so easy to access, yet wasn't available to every room. Bathroom Fan had isolation switch, so didn't have to be on all the time. Comfortable bed and two pillows for each person on the bed. Tea and Coffee available in the room, as well as biscuits and bottle of water. People friendly.

I found the bathroom basin taps a little hard to turn off and had left one running by mistake, maybe the tap washer needed changing? Otherwise it was fine. Comfortable area to relax, as the bar / restaurant area seemed busy.

We liked pretty much everything about the stay, breakfast was superb with lots of variety, dinner was of a high quality. We had a large twin room with quality furniture, comfortable beds, complimentary, tea, coffee and water in the room, a roomy bathroom with a walk in rainfall shower

There wasn't really anything that we didn't like, however if I could offer some improvement, the dinner menu was very "gamey" so for those who wanted a lighter meal there wasn't really an option for this, having said that the food was excellent, just lacked a bit of variety.

Dinner was good and value for money. Breakfast was also good, although there perhaps could have been more choice of items for the continental part of the breakfast such as cheese, different types of bread or pastries. All in all excellent value for money. Room was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable bed.

Easy chairs in the room would have been helpful to relax, although that would have made the space a little cramped. Curtains did not sufficiently eliminate light from outside.

The Inn is maintained to a high spec and is immaculate. Really nice room which also had an external door to car park enabling quick access for luggage. Lovely breakfast with some nice options. Staff were friendly. Its a nice place for a meal too, the quality of the food was superb.

Only thing we found a bit strange was we had to walk through restaurant to our rooms, which when carrying luggage you are walking past people eating their meals which is probably more off putting for them.
