We were greeted with a lovely friendly welcome by Laura who made us feel right at home. Also we were delighted by our room which had many thoughtful little touches from a little fridge with treats and fresh milk to hand written little notes, bathrobes and more ! It was also spotlessly clean. The bed was so comfortable with beautiful bedding and lovely fluffy pillows. The aircon was a bonus too as the weather was very warm. We dined in the pub and I have to say our meal was excellent 👌 My seabass was cooked to perfection and my husbands steak pie was declared the best ! and he is a pie connoisseur!! We shared a cheeseboard which was very generous with delicious cheeses from a local dairy washed down with a glass of port. The breakfast was excellent also with a good choice of dishes and beautifully presented. The location is great as it's in a lovely quiet village ,so nice to relax in the beer garden after a busy day, but also near to Seahouses and Bamburgh for sightseeing. We were impressed with our stay at the Tankerville Arms, it's a beautiful historic building with so much character and the loveliest friendly staff you could wish for. We can't wait to go back and stay longer !

Honestly cannot fault this beautiful Inn

The Staff were amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable about the places around to visit. The meals we had were delicious, we ate 3 evening meals out of our 4 night stay with a top quality bottle of wine each time, breakfast was so nice with plenty to choose from, everything was top quality and we couldn't find fault with any of it. We stayed in the French room while it was large and comfortable the bathroom was across the hallway which we thought was going to be a problem but wasn't at all when we got used to it as it was large and had a shower in the bath, we were provided with nice bathrobes too.

Can't think of anything.

This was our first time at the Tankerville and it was excellent! We had our 2 dogs and it was safe to say we were all made to feel incredibly welcome! The staff were friendly and incredibly amenable. There is an enclosed garden space which we got to use briefly although it was then closed whilst laying new grass seed. The location is beautiful and close enough to drive to all the local attractions. Pub staff really helpful in suggesting local attractions. Breakfast was excellent!

Our only point to feedback was that we were in the French room (first on the right) and this room's bathroom is across the corridor. Nothing that can be done about this and it is private for the room but you have to do a bit of a dash after shower/bath. Luckily we never saw any other guests but it's the only thing we would have changed.

We had a fabulous stay at the Tankerville Arms. The only problem was that we didn't stay longer. We stayed here because it is close to Anwick Castle and we visited there first. The welcome was great. The hosts were lovely throughout. The room that we stayed in was beyond expectations, we were grateful to have been upgraded, and it was exceptionally clean. It had everything we needed and more. The evening meal was generous and great quality as was breakfast. Honestly, we would have paid more because it is such good value. Hopefully we'll stay there again.

Nothing.

Fabulous old traditional watering hole , in a picturesque English village . Great food, and real ales served . Beautiful beer garden to rear, to rear of property, overlooking wonderful countryside. Great Wi-Fi , comfy bed , superb staff , very welcoming, and helpful. Plenty of tea , and coffee , with fresh milk , in a small fridge . Beautiful birdsong from morning till night . Great church 100yds up road , a must visit .

The bedroom was cosy , and in need of updating. The bedroom floor was lower , than the landing floor and this caught me out, on a couple of occasions. The bathroom is across the landing floor, but is for your sole use .

Ellen and all of the staff were so welcoming and lovely. Could not do enough for you. The evening meal was excellent, absolutely delicious. Breakfast was all set up for us in the morning. Beer garden is great. Any information we needed about where to go or places to visit was ready available. Very friendly, polite. We came for our anniversary and booked the suite which was beautiful. Best nights sleep I've had in a while so comfy. Facilities all at hand, perfect. Thank you, Ellen and all the wonderful staff. We will be back! X

This is a fantastic place to stay. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The room we stayed in was spacious and comfy. It had an ensuite with a bath and shower, plenty of towels, a bathrobe each and even face cloths. Soap was provided and shower gel if needed. The bed was large and comfy. There was a small fridge with fresh milk provided daily along with 2 bottles of water and a chocolate bar each. Tea and coffee were also provided in the room. Some handy little additions included a picnic blanket, a torch in each bedside cabinet, a fan, a hot water bottle and a sewing kit. We ate every night in the pub, we didn't intend to, but the food was so delicious, we didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. There was not one meal that we didn't enjoy. The breakfast was amazing as well, we didn't need lunch as we filled up at breakfast time. Breakfast included fresh fruit, cereal, toast and a traditional fried breakfast which you could have all items or just one or two! It's about 10 - 15 minutes from Alnwick and about 30 minutes from Bamburgh. If you have a dog, all rooms are dog friendly, theres a barrel of water outside to top up the dogs water and towels in the entrance, should you need to dry your dog before going upstairs. You are able to take your dog when you eat as well, as there a tables in the bar which are dog friendly. Overall a fantastic stay and very highly recommended!

Having to leave!!

This is a classic, dog friendly, village country pub with rooms that caters for locals and tourists alike. The bar and restaurant are both busy and well patronised with a genuine buzz of the local community and we felt immediately welcome. The breakfast was first class and the evening meals we ate were good value and well presented and cooked, too. Ellen, our contact was first class and accommodated our various requests in an efficient and prompt manner. Our dog was spoiled and the facilities for him in the enclosed rear garden were great.

We had booked a room without realising that it didn't have an ensuite but a had a separate, private bathroom across the landing. Our bad for not reading the small print but a bit inconvenient.

What a gem. The Tankerville Arms was excellent for a short stay. We were greeted by friendly staff. Food was excellent and you won’t be disappointed with the breakfast. Everything was fresh and well presented. Even the dog was given a cooked sausage . We stayed in the French room. The room had everything you would need for a comfortable stay .

We are elderly so needed to take care on stairs with it being a narrow tread. Plus a step down into bedroom . But this is an old worldly pub . You have your own private bathroom but it is across from your room. Not a problem really and robes were provided.

Very comfortable room and bed with excellent facilities (fridge, toiletries, kettle etc). Lovely welcome card and chocolates. Excellent breakfast and we also ate in the restaurant every night, and found the food delicious (highly recommend the sea bass). Staff were very helpful and suggested places to visit. This was our 2nd visit, and will definitely stay again.

Only slight issue was the small size of the TV in the room as my eyesight isn't 100%.
