We liked everything, but the stairs to the room could be tricky for some people.

Welcoming staff and delightful room - this place exceeded my expectations. Good breakfast included. Good location in the centre of town and very close to the Northumberland Coast Path. We ate dinner in the restaurant and both had excellent fish dishes.

We always struggle with dinner food choices as vegetarians and choices were limited, however staff really did try to help us with our diet. Breakfast more than made up for dinner choices.

We had a really lovely stay at The Whittling House. The location is great for exploring the Northumbrian Coast and there is a lot to see and do. The hotel is very comfortable and our room was very relaxing and spacious. We really liked the furnishings and styling. The staff were very friendly and the food was clearly high quality and cooked very well.

The staff we’re superb, friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding, recommend the pie. The breakfast was hands down the best full english ive had.

The staff made the whole experience really lovely. They were always upbeat, happy, and made us feel special. The hotel decor was beautiful and so cosy. It really set the scene for our friend group all staying in such a quaint village when we are used to a faster pace of city life.

Some of the decour, particularly the carpets in common areas need replacing - very tired.

Fantastic place. The food is superb and the staff are just delightful. It's in a great location, 2 minutes walk from the beach and moments from village shops and other pubs and restaurants. Can't rate highly enough.

This is a wonderful place to stay and what makes it so special is the quality of the staff.They are without doubt the friendliest that you could ever meet!

Occasional variations in heating but probably down to the age of the building.

Character, style, comfort and very welcoming.

Parking can be an issue. We did have to move the kettle to plus it in.

Such a wonderful tonic after the Christmas Hubbub! Our room was great with a seating area, wonderful shower (Loved the Bath House toiletries!) Good refreshment tray with homemade biscuits. We took the dogs and there was lots of room for their beds. The staff were wonderful, very chatty and friendly. Well stocked bar and we enjoyed the wood burning stoves. The evening meal we had was exceptional.

Lack of a lounge area. Booming music from downstairs until last orders. Having to place kettle on the floor for access to a plug.

Food at the Whittling House is exceptional, as is the Hotel as a whole. Unfortunately there is no lounge area so after a lovely meal, and the little bar being full, we spent the final hours of 2022 in our room. The downside of our room (8) was that even with the tv on the bass boom from the music in the bar below was horrendous. The annoying thing is that we were told this had never been reported before, but looking back through previous reviews it obviously had. Music was turned off at 11.45.pm. Comfort in the room was excellent and en suite gorgeous. Staff worked extremely hard and could not be faulted.

Stayed in January 2023

the only snag was where the plug was in relation to the kettle.

Bathroom was freezing. Could not have a bath as the tap was faulty also the sink tap was faulty.Sadly we were not told when booking we would have to vacate our table at 9.30 on New Years eve the small bar was full and so we had to take our drinks to our room and miss any celebrations. we were very disappointed considering the cost of the evening.

Great location, staff excellent and the food superb

our visit was a particularly wintery weekend and the room was not warm enough, the heating was on but could have been higher to ensure comfort. There was no individual heating controls for the room. The hot water tap was very unpredictable, resulting in a wet bathroom floor!

The quality of the food both dinner and breakfast was excellent, lovely large room and well equipped with everything required.
