The Sun Hotel

Great location, lovely bar.

Bit dated, drain smell in the room

Interesting, old building/inn next to Warkworth Castle. Great breakfast room with good breakfast e.g. Craster kippers. Plentiful free parking.

Requires some updating e.g. carpets, toilet seat, paintwork. Beds were variable.

Good location, right opposite Warkworth Castle & handy for exploring the coast. Friendly staff & nice food. Good breakfast & had a nice supper in the bar & enjoyed the quiz. Comfy bed & a good sized room which needs updating & a deep clean, then it would be great!

Entering the hotel we opened the grubby doors into a small reception area. This old place could do with a big refresh & deep clean. Quite dusty, especially when looking for a socket to plug in my phone charger. Dusty skirting boards & big heavy curtains that didn’t close well, one was hanging off the fitting. We were given the Secret Room, a large dusty room apparently used as the bridal suite! Everything was gold, the bed, furniture & huge throne like chairs. There was also a free standing bath which was right in front of a large window, so unless you could get the huge curtains to close, you’d have to be an exhibitionists to have a bath! The tv was on the wrong wall, there was nowhere comfortable to sit to watch it. I’d take out the free standing bath & move the ‘thrones’ to the other side of the room to watch the tv, or move the tv to the bathroom wall. Shower room also dusty, wobbly hot tap & the shower door was broken at the bottom. Very difficult to turn the shower on & off as knob was faulty. This was all communicated to the staff on our departure.

Lovely old building, breakfast room was really grand, staff all friendly, great location right next to the castle, good shower, great that had free parking and we could leave our car during the day

Room wasn’t the cleanest, headboard thick with dust, was were the lights, bed was so uncomfortable, also need to invest in new pillows, room so small, especially when staying with two dogs. toilet would barely flush, breakfast was ok, maybe expected too much
