I chose the twin room, which was compact, but there were nice chairs to sit on, everything was spotless and the shower room was spacious and very clean. The staff were all very kind and friendly. Internet was good too. Sat Nav got me to outside the hotel, but the tiny lane to the back of the hotel was difficult to see as I was onnmy own. On my third drive round the one way system I gave up and found a parking place and just walked. The food was tasty and well presented.

Such a nice place to stay, we’ll definitely be back. The staff were so friendly, the food was great, and the room was lovely. It’s hard to ask for more from a hotel. The parking area was small but we had no problem getting a space. It doesn’t have EV chargers but there are 4 by the beach which is a 2 minute walk away. Our dog was so welcome there in the room and the dining room, he loved it too. My only tiny criticism is it’s not clear on this app which rooms are dog friendly and we had to do a last minute upgrade, so do speak to them before you get there. All in all, we loved it and can’t wait to go again!

Had a 2 night stay with our 2 dogs & dined in the restaraunt both nights. Our spacious room on the 2nd floor was lovely. Cosy bar area & comfortable dog friendly restaurant area. Staff were very welcoming to both us & our dogs. The beach & dunes are a short walk away. Parking could be a problem, spaces for 3 residents cars at the back of hotel, otherwise street parking. Overall an enjoyable stay.

This was a last minute change of plan, the hotel is excellent. Parking for about 3-4 cars round the back, we were in an x-trail and there was a Disco Sport there but I think anything bigger might be a struggle. Room was spotless, not much space for clothes if you were there for a while. Staff were excellent, breakfast very good and the location is great. About 5 minutes walk to the beach

Great location in Alnmouth, a short walk (about 2–5 minutes) to the beach and close to pubs and amenities, with beautiful coastal surroundings. EV chargers are by the beach rather than at the hotel.
