A B&B pub in a peaceful location

The accommodation setting being a pub with bed and breakfast rooms was perfect and situated in a beautiful area which could be explored either by walking or further sights of inferest by a short drive away. The pub area provided a plcae to have your evening meal as you would have to travel elsewhere if this wasn't an option. The food was home cooked a high standard providing very generous portions which was delicious. The room that we had was a double bsd with en suite bathroom with over the bath shower. Both of thess facilities are tired and could do with updating. The carpet in the bedroom was worn around the edges, the bath was narrow to sit in, I ended up having to use the bath rather than the shower as the switches for the shower did not regulate the temperature meaning you'd either have a very hot and freezing cold shower. Apart from the minor issues with the bathroom and dated/tired room, the hosts and staff were very friendly and helpful. The choice of food and options for breakfast were plentiful and again cooked to a good standard. Overall, I would recommend staying hefe solely due to the ammenities offered during your stay and the location of this property.

Short break in Northumberland

Had a lovely short break at the Cottage Inn, excellent location within walking distance of Craster and in a central position on the Northumberland Coast. Good base for anyone travelling in the area. The hotel has a real "pub feel" to it which we enjoyed as the locals were in the bar each evening which made a good atmosphere. Will certainly return
