The garden pods were well placed giving the majority a very private garden. The rooms were well appointed with little extras like a torch to guide you home with , firelighters, matches and wood to light your outdoor stove.

We stayed in a cosy double. The room was very small! There was a very small gap to get into bed on one side. The wardrobe space was fine for an overnight stay (we were there for 4 nights). The shower never got really hot, and the only place to put toiletries was on the floor. Our last night was totally marred by a wedding party - the men stayed up late outside drinking and getting very loud!

Location is quiet and beautiful, I can see why people choose to have wedding ceremonies here as it is a secluded area. Staff were so nice and helpful which really makes a stay that bit better, we were visiting a local attraction which had a few road closures and the staff were more then helpful by telling us and informing us of other routes. This hotel stay does go out of their way to make you feel a little more special by adding complimentary items and treats in your room.

I think our room needs some slight updates. The room is decorated beautifully but could use some slight touch ups painting wise. Our main issue was the shower, it may just need unclogging as after one shower there was a concern of how much water was getting out of the shower. We placed a towel down so water wouldn’t leave the bathroom. Then in the morning there was a strong smell coming from the drain. This wasn’t a huge problem as we only stayed for one night but could see it being a bigger problem if we were to stay for longer.

The Staff, breakfast and room were all very good. I am not sure how but this hotel came up in a search for a visit to Edinburgh. It offered a good price and proved to be an excellent choice.

The hot water was intermittent but always warm enough to take a shower, A bath would have been a challenge. Also on occasion hot water would come out of the hand basin cold tap. Whilst not ideal this did not cause a problem as the weather was warm. If the weather was cooler or cold then it may have been more of an issue.

Beautiful location, rooms are stunning and excellent value for money. Breakfast is the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had.

The bath in our room didn’t appear to have been cleaned properly. It was full of sand or grit and the glasses in the room dusty. We also visited the Joiners Arms pub via the caravan park which was fine on the way there but the gate had been locked (without warning) on the way back at 9pm and we had to walk along the main road in the pitch black which felt unsafe on the way back. We tried to call the number for the hall online to be let in but no answer.

garden rooms were nice, managed to get a late booking as we were travelling through beautifully decorated and serene. the main house and grounds are lovely the breakfast down the road was good, lovely part of the world, would stay again!

hotel had a wedding on, waiting in reception for 10 minutes no staff but we were in the middle of the wedding party in our walking gear! we called the hotel a few times, someone did eventually answer and said they would get someone down but they called a mobile phone that was left on the reception. we ended up taking our keys that were left on the desk against our name with all our info on (data protection!) we didn't allow this to ruin our stay, this is just a consideration for the owners. maybe limit what you try and do with a wedding on. would have been nice to be followed up to apologise for the start to our stay but there we go. Its not a complaint as per, merely feedback to help improve

I stayed in one of the garden rooms. Very cute little room. Nice and warm Clean Good shower Nice little outdoor seating area Good Tv selection netflix available

The gravel (everyone wearing heels complained about this) also could be better lighting when leaving the main building on a night to the garden rooms. Also check in took forever and is not very efficient at all It seems very old school, with one person at a desk with paperwork. Definitely could have been done better standing for 40 mins in the middle of a wedding full of people to check in was pretty poor this could definitely be improved. Also the lady at reception didn't seem happy that people were wanting to arrange breakfast at the same time which we had paid for in advance and it was a wedding!! she seemed unhappy and 'put out' that the guests wanted the same time for breakfast this seemed a bit odd and unprofessional given how much money was spent at this venue on that day.

The accommodation "pods" were well-appointed and a bit quirky although initial impression from the outside wasn't great. As we were on a walk (and different accommodation each night), our luggage was sent on ahead via local luggage transfer company. When it arrived, staff had taken our cases to our "pod" for us. Breakfast was either in the main house or down the road at The Joiners Arms. We chose the house. Excellent breakfast: lots of good quality choice, busy staff a bit over-run as many of us descended at the same time. Loved the whole house (architecture, style, furnishings) and grounds (various garden sections). We had a wander. Everything was ready for a wedding the day after. Lovely venue for a wedding. All the staff were engaging and welcoming: in particular, the young woman at the reception desk and those at breakfast. Dinner at The Joiners Arms, part of the same company (down a narrow road): excellent meal - a shared fish dish was really tasty.

Being very picky: Shower water leaked outside the shower area. The Nespresso coffee-maker (very welcome) had to go on the floor to reach a socket. Very hot inside (on a cool evening) so we had to keep the sliding door open all night.

Unexpected upgrade. Large spacious garden room apartment. Large sliding doors to private outdoor space with jacuzzi and chiminea. Attention to detail. Coffee machine. Option of breakfast in a bag - able to cater for gluten free, generous portions. Large powerful shower, good quality toiletries, luxurious towels and dressing gown. Beautiful surroundings.

Not a complaint but garden room venue was a surprise, all photographs on Booking.com show the manor house and not the other accommodation such as the very comfortable garden rooms.

Room was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Jacuzzi was a good size. We needed wine glasses and plates when we arrived and the staff member on reception brought them to us with no issues. We chose the grab bag breakfast which included a hot sandwich, pastries, juice, yoghurt, fruit and snack bars. We spent the following day in Alnwick looking around the shops and into Barter Books. We would definitely come back in the future and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful antique mixed with modern decor, a very comfortable bed and a lovely deep bath. Bar and breakfast staff were very helpful. Fantastic grounds, beautifully kept. Wonderful breakfast with local produce. Would stay again but in a larger room.

Very minor things that can be easily remedied. There was no welcome from a receptionist on arrival. Another member of staff had to go and find them as they couldn't check us in. They were then unsure if our room was ready for 3pm check in and had go to find out. Cosy courtroom double, definitely cosy and quaint just enough room to squeeze past the bed. Large antique bathroom doors looked effective but they were difficult to open/close. No one was there to greet guests at breakfast as there was only one member of staff who was obtaining food from kitchen. We were woken up at 7am by staff moving a recycling trolley or the like across the cobbled courtyard outside our room.
