The hotel is superbly located in a gorgeous area of Northumbria, offering a quiet spot with easy access to all local attractions. The rooms are spacious and luxurious, featuring enormous baths, nice personal touches, and fine amenities for the disabled. The beds are incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful stay. The service is exceptional, from the bar staff to the waiters, creating a cozy atmosphere in the bar area. The location is perfect for any activities planned, and a glass of wine in the garden is a relaxing treat. However, one downside is the reminder not to park in the electric car charging bays. Dining boasts gourmet salads that are a delight for the palate. The facilities are top-notch, providing everything needed for a pleasant stay.
