Took our booking despite having closed the hotel. Nice surprise when we arrived in the evening!

Staff was asleep on the settee when we turned up, no glasses in rooms, restaurant shut, NO cooked breakfast in the morning. But clearly shows a cooked breakfast on the website, definitely not staying here again for the price they are chargingRooms: Poor valueFood & drinks: None in hotel

Sadly a place in desperate need of investment. Slight damp smell in the entrance. No one around in the morning to prepare or serve

We loved our 2 nights at Coquetvale. Christine was so very friendly, helpful and no request was too difficult for her. She made us Aussies feel at home. We had dinner there on both nights and breakfast too. Excellent service and great food. We'd love to come back again.

Absolutely dreadful experience do not stay here mouldy hole in the ceiling water pouring in soaking carpet filthy bathrooms no staff to talk to or check out early with which is what we had to do. Breakfast was cold level tablespoon of beans a kettle to make your own tea but no tea no milk and no cups! Awful experienceNoteworthy details: Don't Go

Before staying here I was almost put off by some of the poor reviews but we had plans in the area and couldn't find anything else for the price. I'm so glad we stayed at coquetvale hotel. We've never had a friendlier welcome(thanks Christine). The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Lovely big en suite with a bath and shower. Great location for exploring Northumberland/ walking. We'll definitely return!Nearby activities: Easy drive to Alnwick. Walking at simonside. Restaurants and bars within 5 minutes walk.Food & drinks: Good breakfast. Fairly limited evening menu but big portions. Cosy bar area. Dog friendly throughout

one time we walked up the stairs, and an eargerly old lady with a red head said to us "if im not a size 12 by christmas then i dont know". we do not know this woman and felt really scared. had to laugh it off though. overall, the banging on the walls from the couple near us is quite pleasant. love the view and scenary. -p.s. she was scottish.

We enjoyed 7 nights. Totally relaxed being served by friendly young people trying their very best. Would stay there again. Reading the abhorrent review makes me sad that there is such nasty people out there.

We had expected much better than this for the price paid. The hotel has obviously seen better days and is poorly maintained. Complete absence of staff most of the time and lack of security. Breakfast was a disaster. Room full of guests patiently waiting, were greeted by a young lady who rushed in and said it "would have to be continental" and promptly left the hotel, giving no explanation. No milk, no butter, a few slices of bread obviously left from the day before. Only sachets of instant coffee and and an empty kettle. No staff around to explain the situation or address the problem. Needless to say, we won't be returning!

We booked a five night stay so that the men could walk St Oswald's Way and use Rothbury as a base for the first part. Slightly run down public areas and lots of stairs but the welcome we received ed was worth it. Anna, wearing her receptionist hat, checked us in and then out her barmaid's hat on to serve us drinks. We'd already decided to eat out but presumably she also had a waitress hat. Next morning she was taking orders for. Oohed breakfasts and also serving them. Returning to the hotel mid-morning I found her mopping floors. Is there no end to her talents? Our rooms were all first class, big, clean and comfortable and we. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area. On our last morning disaster struck. No Anna. And more importantly, no chef. To avoid a mutiny my husband and his friend went to the nearest shop and bought milk and butter. This wasn't good enough for some of the guests who seemed hellbent on getting a refund for their breakfasts if not the entire stay. I'm not sure they had even paid for the breakfasts at this stage. They marched into the kitchen with their phones taking photographs. A thoroughly nasty group of women who kept talking about how dirty the kitchen was and how they wouldn't have eaten from there anyway. I'm sure they will get a lot of pleasure from writing a damning review on here. Take no notice of them. The hotel is a lovely friendly place. Anna could do with some help though. ,

Awful ended up leaving without staying. Dirty bench and fridge door, bin not empty, rubbish behind coffee table, inch thick dust under bed, curtain hanging off, tea tray dirty, no remote for tv, it was just grotty and I could not stay so we left and stayed with friends instead

Very good breakfast. Full English. People were very friendly and flexible. We managed to wash clothes at the hotel. Nice outside area and close enough to the town centre. The cot supplied for our baby was not adequate. No small fridge in the rooms
