Great location - most tables have a view of the sea! Fairly small menu on an evening, reasonably priced - not super cheap if you are looking for a budget meal. I had the southern fried prawns and Cajun chicken - both were very nice! If I had to criticise one thing it would be the store bought popadom which... More

My daughter and i stayed for one night, we decided not to pay extra for a sea view room, however, on arrival we found we DID have a sea view room, which was fine by us.This has happened to us on several occasions, in various hotels, where the only rooms left were sea view rooms, or luxury rooms, and we...

Thank you for leaving a review. We're afraid there must be some cross communication here, given that your daughter booked the accommodation. Unlike the hotel chains you allude to, as a pub with rooms it simply isn't our policy to give upgrades, sorry! We would never, ever, put a guest who wished to book a standard room into a sea... More

Stayed for two nights as a base for a golfing trip with a group of twelve. Hotel has been renovated since I was last here and looks very nice. Room was spotless and still looked brand new. Breakfast was ok but could have been improved overall and being available only one hour meant dining room was very busy. Had dinner... More

Hello and thanks for leaving a review. Sorry a few things left you feeling overall average. Just to stress as we always do online, in all of our marketing and here on TA we are a pub not a hotel. We offer rooms too, as well as good pub food. We're sorry your steak was overdone. If you had asked,... More

Our third stay here and as usual everything was great. The rooms are always spotless, staff really friendly and the breakfast spot on . We have always managed to get a room with a seaview, it must be the only place that you can have a shower while looking at The Farne Islands. I cannot think of anything negative to... More

Had a great 4 day break at the Bamburgh Castle Inn, service was excellent, had a great double room overlooking the harbour. The food in the restaurant was very good and the fresh crab deserves special mention Overall above expectation for what after all is an older style iconic Inn A visit to the Farne islands is well worth it...

Called in one foggy cold day for a beer. Came back the next day for lunch. It is dog friendly, great for us, but don't be put off, as dogs aren't allowed near the bar or in the restaurant.

Glad to hear you came back for more! And we hope to see you again soon! Please ask if you want us to take the skin off your fish - we'd be happy to oblige. We leave the skin on to help keep the fish in place when it is cooking and gives a lovely crisp finish. More

We checked in for one night at the Bamburgh Castle Inn. At £85.00 for B&B you would expect something reasonable. Our room was basic and generally clean except for the bathroom floor which needed a good scrub. As per other reviews, we noticed that the doors banged heavily. Fortunately, we were staying during a quieter period and were not disturbed... More

Ah well, you can't please everyone I guess. If you read our reviews cleanliness and spotlessness features heavily among guests who have troubled themselves to leave reviews, so we were surprised by your comment about the floor.. Our rate is per room, so based on two people sharing - as was in your case - that is £42.50 per person... More
