Lodging in Ashington, Northumberland

“Came to attend a funeral and looking for a central place to stay. Website quoted £30 for a single room (still does 10/23) but said £40 when I phoned. Paid that no problem for 1 person in twin room. Room was quite spacious and refurbished. Not as clean as it might be but OK. Bathroom modern. Didn't have a drink down in the bar but staff friendly enough and there was a log burning stove. Fine as a drinking man's bar. Free parking was bonus. Would stay again.”

“Room was cleaned and set up to a very high standard. Halloween goodies left for our two children as well. Restaurant attached was lovely and we enjoyed a great breakfast. Reception staff very accommodating and welcoming. Location is beautiful. Overlooking a little lochan with lots of wildlife. Just a pity the weather wasn't behaving well the day we arrived and left. Great stop enroute south.”
