Our room initially seemed OK however on closer inspection we had to ask the staff to change the hospitality tray as it hadn't been cleaned properly in days (it wasn't just remnants of detritus from the previous guest). The Bathroom was in great need of a thorough clean and update (again I had to ask in the morning that the bathroom be cleaned including the black mould that must have been there for weeks). I had assumed Digital TV had reached Otterburn however unfortunaltley our TV only got 4 channels so had to suffer CBBC's or T4 in the morning (never thought I would have missed Andrew Marr in a morning till then) not that I go away to watch TV but sometimes its nice to catch up with events in a morning. We ate twice here once in the Stables bar and the next night in the Hotel Restaurant both times we enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. Breakfast was fine, however it would have been better had one member of staff notice and removed the rotting apple (yes I did say rotting) from the fruit selection on the breakfast bar. After my partner removed it and left it on the side it still remained there throughout the rest of the morning. I would say that on the whole the hotel is understaffed and although all the staff who were there are pleasant and helpful, the maintenance and standards of hygiene are well below expectations. No I will not be returning here !!!

The interior is immaculate: beautiful modern decor that isn't flashy, nor does it detract from the architecture of the building. Excellent service: Leo is an attentive and friendly host who goes to great lengths to look after the comfort of his guests. Good food: Breakfast is generous and hearty Whenever friends come to town, I recommend that they stay here rather than with me. I've got the room, but they'll be more comfortable and better looked after!

On arrival we were given tea or coffee while we filled in our registration and a bucket and brush to clean our hiking boots (which remain strictly in the foyer, not the hotel.) Acerbic wit with a smile was the standard and it suited us to the ground. Sean's well practiced spiels are a comedy routine in themselves so pay attention and don't miss a word. He was very helpful on tide and bus and taxi information. Our room was nicely proportioned and the bathroom spacious. I visited in another room upstairs which was equally nice. Furniture is simple, stout, workable and unpretentious. All rooms have only showers. Our towels were rough but this is probably local hard water, They were new and thick and clean. Breakfast was excellent and if you are not awake on reaching the breakfast room, I assure you that you soon will be. There is lovely art around and some of it is for sale by Sean's son. Tea service in the rooms was generously stocked with a wee biscuit or two. Check the website to see other options like renting the entire place or having a wheelchair accessible room. Fabulous choice for staying on Lindisfarne. I would most certainly return here.

John Campbell is a total sweetheart. When we could not find a laundry, he volunteered his hotel services for us! The room was excellent, with a fake fireplace that just warmed the room with its appearance, two end tables (a major plus for us) an iron bed and two chairs next to a bar table. The bathroom was superb with radiant heating in the floor. Dinner was downstairs in the hotel, a quiet dining room for clients only, a tad uncomfy in that there was only two couples and we could hear each other's conversations, opposed to a bustling, noisy restaurant, but the food was excellent and service was impeccable.
