Well located with small car park at the rear, although we always managed to get parked there. We had a deluxe king room, very clean, large space and great shower. Not the cheapest hotel but all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel. 😃

Easily the best accommodation of a four-day stay in Northumberland. Everything in the Whittling House makes your trip a little bit better, from lovely staff to beautiful decor, homemade shortbread for the rooms to the comfy armchairs in the bar. Definitely worth the more premium price!
