Rooms weren't clean. No bedding provided unless you paid an extra fee for a questionable sleeping bag but even then, no sheet for the mattress. Kitchen poorly equipped. No dish soap or hand soap.

Excellent experience at Eat and Sleep Lindisfarne. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, the staff was welcoming and helpful, and the location is ideal for exploring Holy Island. The on-site café served a great breakfast, and shared facilities like the kitchen and lounge were well-equipped. A comfortable and affordable stay, highly recommended for solo travellers or anyone visiting the area.

Didn't have a full price list and got charged £6 for a double espresso. Fair enough if that's your prices but advertise it or warn someone before you make them a £6 coffee.

Great place to stop free of charge with motorhome
But it is expected to use cafe
Still great value
Nearby activities: Lindisfaren just down road to holy island

Campervan stay overnight which was free if we made a purchase in the cafe. Great level parking, perfect location, secure, hardly any noise from the A1, garage or pub. Toilet in the garage up until 10pm. Owner is a great guy, very welcoming and we had the full English breakfast this morning which was very good and he makes an excellent cuppa tea! 2 mins from Lindisfarne causeway. Top welcome and service! Thanks

I'm only reviewing the food as I was not staying at the hotel bit. The cafe bit has a carpark next to the side of the Esso service station. Staff were very helpful and pleasant people. Food here is your basic builders breakfast fry ups. That's not meant to be a complaint though I'm just saying what they have. It's not like one of those places you get some poncey goats cheese and rose petal falafel etc. Basic food and the view outside is really nice.
Food and drinks: Basic fry ups and that kind of thing.
Noteworthy details: Amazing views off towards the coast

Sean is great and so is the cafe (good breakfast). However, if you stay at the bunkhouse just be aware that it?s very basic and bedding isn?t provided. 14 of us stayed so we had the whole place to ourselves but there was no sanitary bins (or any bins full stop), no sheets for the beds, no liners for the shared sleeping bags, the mattresses were very old, full of springs and very stained. Stayed in a lot of very basic accommodation but this one needs a little fore warning.

Popped in whilst travelling home from Scotland for a well deserved leg stretch and drink. Had a tea ? and coffee ?? with a delicious apple pie ?.
This was served by friendly and polite staff.
This cafe is located behind the petrol station and could do with some better signage leading up to it.
Apart from this it was great.

The owner of this place was the rudest person I have ever met . I turned up with an Expedia booking . He said he only does Air bnb . He was so inhospitable I went next door and booked in lindisfarne Inn .
Don?t go there he doesn?t deserve clients . I have worked and travelled all over the world . His place was the worst . I am 74 and he was hurrendous . The Lindisfarne Inn said it had happened many times .
Noteworthy details: Don?t check in . Don?t chance it .

Nice stop over for the campervan, just off the A1. Pub round the corner for a relaxing drink

Americans here. Rented a car to drive from Edinburgh, Scotland to Newcastle, England to catch the ferry over to Amsterdam.We drove the beautiful coastal route along A1 and stopped for a snack at the petrol station. But then we saw this little cafe and decided to come eat here.So delightful!The owners were so kind. The food was fresh and delicious. The portions were huge and the prices were great for the amount of food served. It was clean, inviting, and very welcoming to foreigners. Even gave us come wonderful local history while we visited.Best road trip pit stop this American has ever made!
