We were in room 7 which was in the adjacent wing of the Hotel. Unfortunately we were unable to park in the Hotel's car park as it was full, but managed to park in the free car park located behind the hotel.

Room was clean enough. Shower was ok. Shower curtain had stain on it though, ugggh😕🚿. Would have preferred separate shower cubicle. Mother in laws room appeared to have a faulty radiator. Pretty basic room with no stand out features. It was ok for the price.

Excellent stay, great staff, super ambience

Staff - really friendly and helpful. Breakfast - first class, beautifully served in fantastic and well maintained surroundings. Parking - just fine. Trivial minor problems which doubtless would have been fixed if we'd stayed more than one night - door lock floppy, one bedside light not working as hadn't been plugged in under the (immovable) bed, which was, incidentally, extremely comfortable. The dining room, with related photos in the corridors, was truly memorable.

Motorcycle Tourists - Northumberland 250

On arrival, the reception staff could not have been more helpful, having kept suitable parking reserved for our expensive motorcycles. Booking in was warm, friendly and efficient. The hotel was cold. We wore our Coats in the dining room for evening meal and breakfast. My mattress had a sink in the middle and bowed to the middle. I didn't sleep well - which is why we were there, to sleep. 5 of us wee on a motorcycle touring holiday and we needed good sleep in order to ride the following day. The bathroom had a musty smell from under neath the floor. The staff were great, gentle, good humoured and very customer focussed. The public area were very well decorated, were clean and spacious.

Small attic room, hot with little airflow, needed a fan. Room and bathroom good sizes, overlooking the front high street so some noise overnight. Free parking onsite and in two public car parks at the rear of the hotel. Breakfast in the Olympic suite was good and plentiful in a very grand setting!!

1st class all the way

We stayed for our Anniversary trip and I booked the Olympic suite restaurant and wasn’t disappointed, fabulous food, wonderful attentive staff who couldn’t do enough for us , room was fantastic comfortable beds and pillows , bed was enormous, we had a bath and shower and tea making facilities, everything was within walking distance, lovely few days would certainly go back and a great choice , my only negative was parking which can spoil your experience and made arrival for us very stressful
