The Blue Bell Crookham is a hidden gem in Northumberland as this hotel exceeded our expectations in everyway. The hotel is ideally situated to visit the Bamburgh castle, Lindisfarne priory and the Alnwick castle all under or up to 30 minutes drive. The hotel is also located at the doorstep of stunning Ford historic village and castle just under five minutes away, well worth a visit. The hotel is well maintained to a very high standard, clean and comfortable, large room with huge beds, good shower, tea and coffee making facilities. We also enjoyed an exceptional Full English breakfast before heading off to do our sight seeing. Special thanks to Keith and the staff for their warm and friendly customer service. We like to thank Keith especially for accommodating us when we have to make changes to our check in dates. Thank you so much for making our stay at the Blue Bell Crookham a memorable one. We wish you and the staff all the very best. We highly recommend The Blue Bell Crookham to anyone planning to visit Northumberland.

Nothing, everything is just perfect.

Lovely place great room good size clean comfortable the best pub accommodation I’ve ever stopped in by far

Nothing not to like

Everything about my stay (2 nights) was absolutely amazing. The place is easy to find and is parking is excellent, with plenty of space to park! Booking in online prior to arrival is so slick, you arrive, you get a short introduction / briefing, get your key, and then are escorted to your room. Whilst the room I stayed in is very small (it is well and accurately described on the Blue Bell's website!) it is ample for a single person visit, it was both very comfortable and more than adequate for my short stay. The team are very helpful and friendly in the bar and restaurant, and keep the rooms clean and topped up with Tea/Coffee and biscuits. Breakfasts are fabulous, well cooked and presented, with more than enough Juice/Tea/Coffee. . . The one meal I ate in the restaurant was well cooked and very tasty, service was very prompt. I had absolutely nothing to complain about!

To my mind there was nothing I didn't like, and I had absolutely nothing to mention let alone complain about!

My stay here was perfect, extremely comfortable and a great location in relation to the wedding venue I had to travel to for a friend's wedding. The breakfast was really great, well cooked and good coffee too. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and the room itself was small (as expected) but perfectly cosy and comfortable with all facilities needed. Perfect stay for the price I paid. The staff were also lovely when I accidentally left a very sentimental necklace behind, they were patient with my worried phone calls and found it for me, and have agreed to post it back to me, which I'm incredibly grateful for.

This was a great stay, I have no negative feedback at all.

The cooked breakfast was exceptional and everything cooked to perfection. The room was very comfy and clean. The staff were welcoming and very friendly. I would highly recommend ordering from their evening meal menu. Staying there for the first time I really couldn't fault anything.

The room was lovely, really comfy beds and was very quiet. The breakfast was outstanding and it is in a great location. The hospitality received was brilliant and really nice staff and would highly recommend staying here

Nothing really

EVERYTHING, The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Awesome breakfast which set us all up for the day. Fantastic attention to detail, the deco of our room was in exceptional condition. The white bed linen and the towels etc all top quality, soft and totally flawless, everything which should be ironed was, quality mattress/pillows etc. Also if your OCD on the cleanliness front, including the ensuite, then this is the place for you. Very quiet during the evening in our room and silent during the night even though it is fairly near to the road.

NOTHING

The food was fabulous - 1st rate. I never had a disappointing meal. Great breakfasts. The "Full Border" kept me going for a whole day. So much so, that on subsequent days I'd just choose 3 items from the list, so that I could have lunch out. Very friendly & helpful staff too.

My single room was 'small', but I'd asked for a single room anyway, so it was fine. A decent quality shower more than made up for it - so no real complaints.

We always have a comfortable stay at the Blue Bell. Staff are always very welcoming, kind with the children and helpful if we need anything. They cater for our gluten free needs which is a bonus as there are a lot of places where we struggle for eating options. The cooked breakfast is lovely. The rooms are warm and beds are comfortable. I grew up in the area and find that the Blue Bell provides a homeliness that I need when I come back to visit. We will continue to stay here during our visits home.

Nothing. It's perfect for our needs.

Its so rare to be able to get a booking here that we were delighted that there was a last minute cancellation. It always meets expectations. Had evening meal (Sunday fare) and breakfast and both were very satisfying and tasty. The weather was fantastic too so win win. We will be back (if we can get a booking!).

Get a better Shiraz red wine. It was okay and a decent price but it wasn't the best compliment to the Sunday Roast. Its the only moan I have.
