The breakfast was really something special and truly creative. the welcome was the best on our entire road trip, excellent smiley staff, took our cases up to the room. Excellent food in the evening. Wood fires. 2 nights prior we stayed at Gleneagles which was top notch. But we actually preferred this place and I cannot really explain why.

We could not fault it. I suppose that once one is "won over" everything seems good. cases up to the room, straight down to the cozy bar and a pint of very well kept real ale. We were in good hands.

Excellent stay at The Northumberland Arms, it was an amazing find. Just off the A1 on our trip pup to the highlands, we arrived and were allocated a fabulous room with a huge bathroom, everything you can think of had been thought of, the bed was super comfortable with quality bedding, robes, coffee/tea facilities, the bath and shower were excellent. The whole place was really friendly, bar great with a great buzz about it, food in the restaurant was excellent and service spot on. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again if in the area, perfectly located.

Nothing, everything was excellent

The breakfast was superb! Staff so friendly and courteous. Our bedroom was lovely and so comfortable with a very generous sized bathroom with bath and shower. Dinner in front of the fire - delicious!

The only fault was the hot water supply to our bedroom. After one shower we had to wait a short time before my husband could shower and there was no chance of that hot water supply allowing us to have a bath.

The location is great for exploring the area. The decor is well maintained throughout. The ambience is perfect, whether relaxing in the bar or dining in the restaurant. Great selection of drinks and fantastic menus to choose from. The staff were very helpful and accomdating. Great views of the river from the outdoor seating area.

In the room we had, there wasn't a socket near the bed or a bedside cabinet / shelf for charging or placing items on. The nearest free socket was on the wall opposite the end of the bed.

We visited for a friends wedding in the nearby village of Eshott and decided to stay 3 nights, with partner and pet dog. Loads of people from the wedding went here the day before and the day after! Breakfast, dinner and their Sunday roast were excellent, you can really tell the quality of the food and the pride the chef's take in preparing meals and our dog has never been as spoilt with the Doggie dinner and ice cream as well as attention from the staff. The pet friendly room we were in had plenty of space for a crate, the bed was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was luxurious, with great quality fixtures and features. The staff and locals were really friendly and helpful, it felt like we was staying at a mates!

Taxi service to the area comes from Morpeth

We had to leave early on the Sunday morning, but the chef came in to make us hot breakfast sandwiches to go, which was greatly appreciated. Dinner on the Saturday night was lovely - we really enjoyed it.

The only small thing was that (presumably in the bar downstairs) there was a speaker playing music. Ironically, we couldn't hear it in the bar, but in the quiet of the bedroom it was directly below our bed. Anyway, the room was massive, the bed was huge and comfortable, and the music switched off when the bar closed at c11pm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay and were reluctant to leave. It was cosy and comfortable and the food was cooked to perfection. I have already recommended this property to friends. It was an ideal location to visit Cragside ( the reason for staying here). One of the best places we have stayed.

There was nothing we didn’t like about the property.

The entire stay at the Northumberland was fantastic.The ambiance on arrival was welcoming,all staff where friendly,food,room and location was excellent for our stay.Car parking opposite the hotel was ideal,safe and visible. All the hotel staff were polite and went out of their way to ensure that our experience was enjoyable.It simply could not have been better.I would strongly recommend this venue.

My wife and I could not say anything negative about this choice of hotel .

Lovely hotel with a thriving pub/restaurant great food and locally brewed real ale. The room was very nice with a great bathroom, comfy bed and a real quality feel to it. The location is in a small village but within easy reach of the coast and Alnwick so very quiet. There is an extensive outdoor drinking/dining area which must be great in the warmer months. Dinner was great- a decent menu at sensible prices.Lovely extensive breakfast the morning after summed it all up for us- an excellent stay

Nothing- would very happily stay there again if we were in that area.

A very good pub with rooms. Of note, the staff were invariably helpful, attentive and friendly - in particular the deputy manager, Rob, who went out of his way to make us (and our two dogs) welcome; the room was spacious and comfortable with an excellent bathroom; and the food was good.

We travelled with two dogs. They were welcome in the bar and bedroom but £15 per night per dog (in our case, £30) is somewhat expensive (but we knew this when we booked the room).
