Stayed Sunday/Monday - excellent welcome and room. Had an evening meal and breakfast. The food choice is very good and the quality of the food served was excellent. The staff are really friendly and professional and could not do enough to help you. In terms of access to some of Northumberland's best coastline you cannot have a better location. Everything and more than we hoped for.

This was the best place we stayed in England. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped.
We bought oven ready meals and cooked them. Made a salad. Good times.
Lovely garden in back overlooking Pub.
It was easy walking to grocery and Pub.
