The Sun Hotel  

We were travelling from the Edinburgh Festival and wanted a stop over on our way home. We knew Warkworth and the hotel price was good in August. We were very pleasantly surprised. The welcome was friendly and the room was large with a view of the castle. Although in need of a makeover the room was clean, comfortable and well appointed for our needs. TV and tea making facilities in the room and plenty of nice bedding. The village itself is quiet and very attractive and we had an excellent meal at one of the 3 pubs. Good breakfast choices the next day. We went on our way well rested having thoroughly enjoyed our stop over and may stay longer next time.

The hotel is dog friendly. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Good car parking. Locally produced micro brewery beer available.

Within easy reach of so many interesting areas.

Close walk to Warkworth centre and beautiful walks in surrounding area. Wonderful view from room of castle. Excellent food and friendly service.

Friendly staff. We were disappointed to see the same menu on all three nights, however on last night the chef was happy to make us a different option. This was the best meal of the week. Hotel is in a good location in village and an ideal base for visiting the noth east.

Rubbish not cleared from the room on a daily basis cups not washed. Bathroom ceiling had evidence of a previous leak and carpets and curtains were threadbare. A little tlc would make a world of difference.

lovely area for walking

Breakfasts

Hotel is now very much in need of complete refurbishment

Comfortable and clean.

Room a bit small

The helpful staff .

We found the room a bit chilly and the bathroom even more so

Friendly pub like hotel.

Convenient location (for a wedding we were attending locally), beautiful views and a good, hearty breakfast to help us recover from the night before.

All promotonal literature of the hotel includes photos taken in the 1980'S...and the decor and furntiture has not changed since then! Mould marks on the walls, wall paper hanging off the walls and ceilings and rotten wooden framed windows all give the hotel a feeling of it being left behind by the times.Having said all that, there is certain charm of stepping back in time to somewhere so dated and which has so much character. The hotel is blessed with courteous staff, beautiful views which lie beyond the flakey sash windows and the gorgeous Warkworth itself. With the right level of imagination and investment, it could be an absolutrly stunning venue.

the room was comfortable and the hotel is located in what turned out to be a quiet location.

having to vacate by 10am after a late night and some heavy partying in the park.

All the staff were local English and they were polite and helpfull.

The Hotel is old and tired looking and urgently needs refurbishing from top to bottom. The bed rooms were dated and not as clean as we expected, our bathroom had a broken shower, which was fixed after we complained about it and the carpets down the corridor were thread bare in places. The staff were excellent but could not compensate for the general run down apperance of the building. We were given a small discount when we expressed our disappointment to the manager.
