The bedroom was a touch old - fashioned in style but I liked it, it was not large but I was very comfortable. Breakfast was pretty good with a good choice. Above all this place is excellent value for money. The free Wifi is weak, it worked but often timed out - possibly because in this rural area fast Internet is unavailable. I would certainly stay again.

We visited the Cottage Inn Hotel as patrons of the pub whilst we were on holiday in the area. It's…read morea pleasant enough place, the staff are friendly and the interior is nice enough. It is a hotel and the reception is inside the pub so it is open all day which is unusual for many of the village pubs in this area. They serve food from noon till 3pm and 6pm till 9pm but we didn't dine so I can't comment on the quality of the food. There were three or four local beers on including Secret Kingdom and Coast to Coast from Hadrian's Border Brewery as well as the usual lagers etc. There is a pool table, and we enjoy a game, but on each occasion that we were in it was totally monopolised by the landlord and staff. I'm sure we could have put our 50p on the table but I don't think we'd have been too popular! :-) The pub is dog friendly and has a beer garden to the rear which would be a nice place to while away an hour on a sunny day. Reasonable little pub really, I'd have given it four stars if we'd been able to play pool! :-)

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!

I recently stayed here while at a friend's wedding and I have to say I wasn't overly impressed…read more When we arrived we were told that check in was delayed so we didn't have enough time to get ready for the wedding and had to use a cramped staff room to change in (and subsequent arrivals didn't even get that). The staff weren't especially helpful, we had to phone for our own taxis, despite not knowing the area, and for the price paid, the bedroom was disappointingly old fashioned and poorly equipped (although the bathroom was very nice). At breakfast, the hotel ran out of orange juice, among other things, and what food was left stopped being served at 9.30 - a little early for some of the more hungover guests. There's limited choice in this little village for places to stay but my advice would be to find somewhere else!

I think all have a log fire. We've stayed in Coley Law and latterly Honeymug, both have central heating and a log burner for cosy nights in. There's also a nice leisure centre on-site with pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a fitness room all to the same standards as the accommodation. So if you love tranquility away from the madding crowd this is just the dab!!

It used to be very dull, our least favourite pub in Warkworth in fact, but now we are happy to take the walk up the hill to visit. It has a pool table and a tv which has live football on during the football season. The staff are friendly and it gets a mixed crowd of guests, locals, walkers and so on. It still tends to be quieter than the Masons Arms and the Hermitage Inn which are arguably prettier and in a more central location but it certainly gets more folks in than it did a few years ago! I've never dined here so I can't comment on the quality of the food however the prices seem reasonable for Warkworth with mains coming in at just under the £10 mark. I've given it 3 stars because it's a fairly typical pub really, not great but not bad either.
