The reception staffs are very friendly, the best among all hotels we stayed. A nice hotel deserved to come back.

Excellent from arrival to departure. Excellent food and wonderful staff.

A lovely relaxing hotel, pleasant and helpful staff. Breakfasts were delicious. Would definitely visit again.

We stayed two nights during August 2026. The hall is very impressive and well maintained, we stayed in a cottage on the grounds and the accommodation was clean, large with good amenities and a comfortable bed. We had breakfast in the main hall which was a little regimented and the choice was average not befitting the rest of the hotel. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Fabulous stay in a cottage in the grounds. Excellent cooked breakfast. Friendly staff, very professional and a credit to the hotel.

Excellent location and setting. Staff excellent. Steam room out of service in the spa. Room could have done with some tlc - eg crumbly walls around where curtain hooks and the tv cable have been put in. TV in the room didn’t work. No decaf tea bags so got charged £9.35 for two decafs in the sitting room.

Brilliant hotel in beautiful surroundings. The whole area just feels lovely. Outside you had the maze and mature gardens with lots of areas to sit and relax. It was very peaceful and calm and very pretty. Inside there were lovely nooks and crannies to sit and chill from the library to an elegant lounge and the bar area. We had a nosy into the gym and pool area although didn't use them and they looked great too. Our room was spotlessly clean as was the whole hotel and eating areas. Our room was very comfortable with a lovely bathroom which was well equipped with fluffy towels and spa body wash and shampoo. There was plenty of choice at breakfast and the food we had was tasty. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel as we were out and about but it did look lovely. All the staff were very friendly and cheery and a credit to your hotel. I would 100% recommend this hotel and we hope to visit again sometime.

Lovely friendly staff from the moment we walked in. The Hall is beautiful with gorgeous gardens to enjoy. The spa is delightful. The food was also excellent. It was a wonderful relaxing experience.

We stay here a lot and on this occasion everything was excellent & enjoyable.

Lovely room, friendly staff and the food was great- the sticky toffee pudding is worth the trip on its own. We had a meal on our room and was impressed that dessert wasn’t brought up at the same time as starters and main courses as they didn’t want the ice cream to melt. The only minor issue was the phone in the room wasn’t working so had to go to reception to order room service, and we were disappointed there were no bath robes- would have expected them in a hotel of this calibre. Otherwise a delightful stay . The hotel is ideally placed for exploring the beautiful beaches nearby.

The hotel was in need of a spruce up. Tha bar was a disappointing space, we chose to sit on the terrace. The concierge was very helpful at check in and the bar manager was very helpful and chatty. Our room was one of the lodges. A large space with very comfortable bed but let down by a very spartan bathroom. A waterfall shower only and basically toiletries. Breakfast was served in a beautiful dining room. Good choice and very tasty. Staff good. Unfortunately the chairs we had were badly stained and grimly.

The hotel is in a lovely setting and at first sight seemed to be everything you’d want in a country house hotel. The receptionist was very friendly, gave a short history of the hotel and showed us to our room, pointing out the facilities and where to find them. I had booked the restaurant prior to arrival. The evening meal on the first night was tasty, breakfast on both mornings also good, using good quality ingredients. The evening meal on the second night was not so good and left us feeling that some elements of it were too fussy with too many flavours put together. The vegetarian soufflé was awful, just a mound of stodge. We felt that £75 per person was far too much to pay for a three course meal especially as we had no alcohol with dinner. On looking around further, the hotel is a bit tired and rundown, a long handled cob webber is required, the window casements need cleaning, the sealant in the bathroom had black spots and wall paint needed touching up. The hotel is handy for visiting Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses and Holy Island.

Excellent hotel, hope to stay again. Very helpful and friendly staff, especially when we had a small problem with a velux window

Our third visit to this amazing hotel can't wait for our next visit so this speaks values. Rooms are clean beds so comfy smells fabulous. Food first class thank you once again.

Breakfast food good. Room OK but needed a clean especially the windows. Staff OK but a bit slow over breakfast The route to the Spa wS down some very steep stone narrow steps. Didn't make it to the spa as was concerned for my safety down the steps. Overall very expensive

Excellent stay. Beautiful property. Would stay again.

Great food and staff Property in a lovely place but could do with some tending to outside areas

Reception team were very friendly and welcoming. Delicious breakfast but breakfast staff not very welcoming, need to smile occasionally! Overall an ok stay but don’t think we’d stay again

I had accumulated enough Hotels.com credit ( along with additional £s ) , to book a treat night away for myself and my wife. this place looked superb -- as were reviews -- Reception staff , dinner dining room staff were professional and helpful. The dinner we had was very good... if a little expensive.... the room... supposedly a "Superior Room" was OK... nothing special really... a bit "Worn" , Bed OK ... bathroom ok ... but you couldnt open windows above a couple of inches , and NO AIRCON... just a very unsubstantial fan... very stuffy/sticky in room .. didn't get a good nights sleep .... The breakfast... not up to scratch..... only one waitress -- who kept us waiting at doorway to dining room... while she served others. no apology for wait... just " Ill be with you in a minute"... the breakfast was certainly below par... I had the "Full English".. one rasher of bacon , poor quality sausage , has brown from bulk buy freezer bag ( I suspect )... overall , not good meal to start the day with. The "Full Price" for this stay should have been over £250...... nice building ,... but poor attention to detail... the floor in dining room in morning was covered in debris from dining the night before... as were the stairs and other areas of carpet throughout hotel. For me ,l I would have expected a lot better overall experience for the price I should have paid.... luckily , I used Hotels.com credit , & only had to pay £80-ish.... We would not reccommend this place

Wonderful breakfast— eggs benedict done properly. And my husband had the full english breakfast.
