Warm and friendly with great food and service.

I was on business and don't really like the clinical nature of premier inn ect. I have stayed here before and love the traditional atmosphere and as it is a kind of gastro pub, the food, including the breakfast is really nice.

Comfy pub

Excellent accommodation - lovely pub, good choice of beers and food. Comfy room with usual facilities. Very impressed that they opened the kitchen early so those of us attending Great North Run could grab breakfast before heading into Newcastle.

Nice hotel/bar.

My 2nd time of staying here, and, had the same friendly welcome. Room was just the right size, with all thats needed in there, comfortable bed as well. Good selection of drinks at the bar, great size portions of food as well. Decent sized breakfast to help start the day. Overall, a happy stay!

Noisy!

Stayed on a Saturday evening. After travelling and a long day I was looking forward to a rest. The room was clean but no remote for the tv and the toilet seat was broken. I spoke to the staff and nothing materialised to sort either. Also there was entertainment which I wasn’t aware of so it was very noisy, especially as I was directly above them. I wouldn’t have stayed if I had been informed of this. Luckily it did finish at 10.00p.m. On the good side the evening meal I purchased and the breakfast which was included were very nice.

A great shame.

The room was disappointing considering the charge. Tired furnishings, extensive evidence of a roof leak, poor standard of cleaning. Breakfast on the first morning of two was appalling! Porridge is not just oats with hot milk poured over the top… poached eggs were badly cooked, black pudding was undercooked. We also noticed another couple had left almost all of their full English breakfasts. The second morning was better but not outstanding. Had we been paying £60 per night, I wouldn’t have minded so much, but it wasn’t worth £100 per night.
