Staff were excellent , prompt courteous and professional. Location was perfect. The included breakfast was excellent. The property was very clean.
Given that it is a very old building added to its charm, however it needs some attention. some of the future in the rooms are showing obvious signs of use and some abuse. Particularly small en-suite bathrooms.

Lovely property, quirky decor with small but comfortable rooms. Breakfast was good and staff were very polite and helpful. Does close at 9pm in the weeks though so out of hours entrance is via a keycoded door at the rear of the building. Limited and expensive parking but there is free long stay parking approximately 3minutes walk away. Very central to Morpeth amenities.

The room is lovely and the staff are very pleasant and very helpful
The room was very cold heating only comes on at 4pm so it is fine during the night but it is very cold during the day if you are in the room in the winter, I think the heating needs to be to be on as long as the room is occupied

Great location. Plenty of local, free parking but you do have to move every 24 hours. Breakfasts were good, although could have been hotter. Staff friendly and helpful. Shower/water nice and hot. Nice atmosphere in bar.
Modern boutique room but was small with no wardrobe, just 4 hangers on hooks so for a 4 night stay a bit of a pain in limited space, furniture for looks rather than being useful. Light in bathroom and fan came on automatically but took ages to switch off so at night was a bit annoying. No main light in the room so when you did need light it was very dark and had to leave bathroom door open to get light. Just lacked a bit of practicality.

Could do with a key fob for the outside door.

The choice of Breakfast was limited and had to be ordered the night before. However, they were very willing to provide toast, coffee and orange juice. The location was very convenient, especially as we could access our room from the back door (albeit up the fire escape) which was close to the public car park. The room was warm.
The room was quite small with little room for our suitcases. Although the lighting was good and bright, it wasn't possible to have the bedside lights on separately. The light in the shower room came on when the door opened and stayed on for a long time.

The breakfast was fantastic. I loved having the option to choose before. and it was so good.
I liked that there was a fan in the room but it was old and broken so I couldn't change any of the settings on it. I wasn't crazy about dragging my luggage up to the third floor LOL.

No staff turned up for breakfast on one day. The staff in the evening were unpleasant and the room looked like it had been decorated by a child
3.0 / 10.0
The location was very central and convenient. i
It felt very much as if the guest part of the business was not the main focus and that staff attended to guests as an adjunct to something else. There there was no real welcome, there was no effort to ensure that i had all the information I needed ( like explauning just how far the ut of hours access s from the bulding)and when i was trapped in my room corridor by a locked door there was no apology. At breakfast I was told that the member of staff. had some other things to do and to sit down in waiting. The room (no 4) smelt as if it had been smoked in at some time.

En-suite was a little tight
10.0 / 10.0
For the price I paid I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was really clean and comfortable and the en-suite was very modern and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was superb. I would highly recommend this place to stay.
If you want a full day in Morpeth, there’s nowhere to drop your luggage off as the venue is a bar and doesn’t open till 4pm. That’s the only downside.

Central location, the staff were really attentive and pleasant.
Still issues with with after-hours entry. A member of staff had to be called out to let people in as the entry pad wasn't working with people waiting for an hour outside before they were let into the hotel.

Furniture was marked. Dirty hankerchief on floor. No staff in the morning and could not get downstairs, had to go down fire escape, walk to front of building to knock on door and no answer. There was no breakfast and no staff to communicate this to all the guests. We had to ring an emergency number to find out the Chef had not turned up and there was no breakfast. My husband is waiting for a hip and knee operation so having to go up and down fire exit to try and find out what was going on was absolutely disgusting and inexcusable. Very unprofessional establishment.
Stairs, lack of communication, no breakfast. Crack in ceiling, marked furniture.

The location. Is fantastic. The rooms are small but have everything you need for a comfortable stay.
We stayed 2 nights. Breakfast is included in the room rate. First morning could not fault the breakfast. Second morning the access to the bar/restaurant area was closed and there was no sign of any staff. Ended up using the fire Escape door to head into town to get breakfast.
When we returned the other residents were all either hanging around the fire exit or leaving the property. No staff in evidence but was told that someone was coming. This was too late for us as we had a train to catch.
When we left someone had turned up and was apologetic.

We didn’t get the breakfast as the staff didn’t turn in to make it. It is massively over priced. You don’t even get a bottle of water in the room and if you have one of the rooms at the front you can forget sleep as it’s really noisy.

room was lovely, hotel beautiful and staff very helpful and pleasant.
only one tiny bad factor was drawer in room was broken and the floor fan was covered in dust but didn't affect our stay
just the fan was covered in dust and when we turned it onm it went over our things and bed but we sorted it out so wasn't really a big issue
