Staff are the hotel's greatest asset. Everyone was helpful and pleasant, keen to get things right for guests. We had dinner for the first night and again on our third night. The food was very good with a menu that was varied. We enjoyed the breakfasts as well.

Our room looked lovely and the bed was comfortable. There is clearly an ongoing problem with drainage in the bathroom (I saw comments on a previous review) and when we reported it a member of staff dealt with it promptly. The weather was very hot and, the ventilation was poor. The air conditioning comes on automatically at some point but there is no way of switching it on in the room, though there is a fan provided which gives a little relief. There are French windows and a balconette but the doors are sealed. I can see that this is a safety issue but better ventilation would make guest more comfortable.

Lovely room overlooking fields at the back. Comfortable bed. Gorgeous free standing bath. Good breakfast the next morning.

Strange smell in the bedroom. Cooking smell. Service at evening meal a little disappointing. Booked table and wanted to sit in restaurant but were given table in the bar area which was cold and had no atmosphere. Saw there were empty tables in restaurant and asked to move but told we couldn't as fully booked! The tables in the restaurant remained empty for the rest of the time we were there so not sure if their reasoning.

Good afternoon Would you be able to pass on a massive thank you to your excellent staff from last night & this morning for our breakfast. Especially with myself having coeliac & needing gluten free requirements for the food 🥹 I went for the fish & chips & my wife had the steak frites both were excellent thank you. Also for accommodating us to try to be away from other guests with me having chemo treatment & needing to try & stay isolated. We stayed in the Coquet room & will highly recommend to everyone. We will also be back 🙌 Thanks again Mr & Mrs Henderson

Great little bolthole in Northumberland. Very comfortable room which didn't feel as if it was above a pub and was pure escapism. Nice little touches like chocolate and shortbread which were replenished daily. Great breakfast choices and made with quality local produce.

The restaurant was disappointing - overpriced; and staff whilst friendly were young and not well trained in service etiquette. Accepting The Joiners is dog friendly very happy to see in the bar did not appreciate the volume of hounds in the restaurant whilst eating! It somewhat spoilt the ambiance and occasion for us.

The room was spacious and clean, bed comfy and lovely cosmetics. Shower and bath were great and big enough. Also coffee pod machine was a nice added touch. Liked the decor and set up of the room and the pub. The food was really good, had fish and chips gluten free and this was the best we have had anywhere. Staff friendly and helpful too were working hard to keep the area clean a d breakfast was excellent.

The parking was a little inconvenient but only as it was raining heavily!

The room was small but dead cozy (the Aln). Shower was fantastic and thein-room bath was a nice luxury touch (even though it was a bit chipped). Every member of staff i spoke to were extremely friendly.

The restaurant was busy so we had to sit near front door for evening meal and it was absolutely freezing when we were there so I ended up sitting with my jacket on during dinner.

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at the joiners arms over Christmas. We stayed in the Coquet room which was stunning and well equipped. We dined both nights of our stay in the restaurant and the food was absolutely 10/10 and service amazing - the staff could not do enough for us and made such a fuss of our little dog too!

Everything was fantastic

Food, especially dinner was excellent. Location is marvellous, atmosphere was great too. Staff on the whole were great, efficient and motivated. But they were stretched.

Mens toilet for the restaurant remained blocked for more than 24 hours. Some staff could be a bit abrupt, but they were really stretched. The kettle plug was not long enough. Hot water ran out on 2 occasions.

Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Beautifully decorated. Outdoor space was exceptional. Hot tub was lovely and hot! Was still piping hot the next morning when we got up and had forgotten to put the cover on.

Would’ve liked breakfast in the room. Did try and call in the morning to see if we could but the lines don’t open until 10. Something we should’ve asked when we checked in.

The location was amazing, the room was very nice, small but nice. We had a nice big wet room and then a bath in the bedroom which wasn’t necessary and took up too much space- a nice table and chair would be a better use of the space. The food in the pub was excellent but overall stay was a bit overpriced, paid £225 a night £150/60 would have been a fairer price.

Better space in room and price
