Everything was tasty- the sandwiches, sweets, and biscuits. The staff even allowed me to take photos of the famous Olympic dining lounge after my meal - stunning! If you have a chance to try dinner in this place, I'd do it!

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've stayed in a few B&Bs in and around Alnwick and this is by far my favourite. It's got a great…read morelocation: across the road from the Gardens and the Playhouse and just down from the bookshop. 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!

Just ended our 4th stay at Breamish. Aside from N'thumberland being a lovely county with lots to…read moresee and do, the cottages are homely and welcoming, comfy, very well appointed and clean. 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!!

The staff the entire time has been incredibly friendly and the food is good but not enough to…read moreovercome the room deficiencies. We are in the dining room last night and the bathrooms smelled like manure and there was no toilet paper. As a female, it is kind of a necessity. The toilet was so close to the wall you had to kind of sit sideways. And there were tons of flies and I don't know why. There was no hot water. You turn the knob and absolutely nothing happens. The cold water works just fine though. There is no parking on site as advertised. The beds are incredibly uncomfortable. The pillows are flat like they are several years old. The door to our room (11) doesn't shut properly so an alarm goes off letting you know it's not locked. On the fire escape outside my window are several irons and ironing boards and a picture just sitting there. Dinner last night was good but pricey. There are no extra rolls of toilet paper. I get the building is 400 years old and will have issues but certainly does need some TLC. No experiences with the paranormal either but has nothing to do with my review.

Booked 2 nights and only stayed one night, with one eye open! As I was winding down from day with…read morea drink in hand in the lobby and in front of the unlit fire place, I was startled by a giant rat that crossed from one end to the other! I wanted to leave but Amin was such a good host I bit the bullet, and mustered the one night. Also, I had to go downstairs to ask for toilet paper, then at break of dawn I got up to shower a bit tired from restless night of one eye open, and to my surprise there is no cold water! Just hot hot water! But in the sink, there is cold water! They say this hotel is haunted, i think it might be the rats that reside inside the walls of this establishment. Oh, shower was recently upgraded, still not worth staying here unless your a friend of Ferrol rats.
