    Right at the heart of the centre of the inhabited part of the island and close to interesting places to visit

    The main detractor for this property was the shower. Really poor pressure and the shower head wouldn’t stay in place and flopped all over the place. We also asked for glasses as there were only plastic cups for our bedside water. It would have been nice to have had some sliced fruit and yoghurt for breakfast as well as cereal, toast and the cooked options. Given the price charged this is not an unreasonable expectation. We have resided at superior properties able to provide the above and for less.

    A stately old pub on Holy Island right next door to the priory remains and views over them from the dining area and gardens. Perfectly located to walk to the castle or down to the cove to look over inner Ferne and the seals. The staff were really friendly and engaging and overall the stay was as expected for a pub stay.

    Lovely bathroom but shower water pressure low. May have been caused by shower head being too heavy and damaging the hose at the attachment to the ‘head. Footboard on bed not great for my height (6’6”) resulting in a couple of banged toes and ankles (5’2” partner slept very well).

    Brilliant, welcoming and friendly staff. Beautiful location, wonderful hotel. Food excellent, accommodation very nice and comfortable with following caveats…

    The bed was uncomfortable, no mattress topper, so a bit lumpy, and the bed creaked a lot, which woke me up in the night. I also didn't appreciate being woken at 6am by the glass bin being emptied at the back of the hotel, so not the best night sleep. During the day, I asked if they had ice cream for our friends' kids as it was a very hot day, but and was told no. Yet when we had our evening meal, there was ice cream on the dessert menu, which was very disappointing.

    The location is beautiful, and the view from the hotel is stunning. The room was clean and very spacious. The food was very nice, I had the Ghurka Curry, and my husband had the Balmoral Chicken. Good choice of drinks. Excellent cooked breakfast.

    Staff shortages during the busy summer months.

    The location on the Island of Lindisfarne is excellent. The hotel staff were friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. Our room was basic but comfortable. There were many choices on the breakfast menu and the food was excellent with generous helpings. We also enjoyed our evening meal at the hotel.

    Located and isolated on Lindesfarne island was a great experience. The hotel ticked all of the boxes for being comfortable, with a bar and food available. The breakfast was nice, The staff were very friendly and helpful. A quaint village surrounded by historical buildings, great walks and views, made for a memorable stay.

    A peaceful and historic place to escape to for an overnight stay

    There were a couple of places that had no signage to 'Mind Your Head' which if you're over 6ft and not familiar with the building and adjacent to your door, it could cause and accident, and did. The staff were informed and will be addressing this. I didn't like being asked to leave the lounge/bar area and vacate to the restaurant while they had a staff meeting. When you have paid £228.00 for a room (including breakfast), it's not something you'd expect and I have never experienced. The plug hole and the toilet fastenings could have been cleaner, and again, just a small detail, but noticeable. No decaf tea in the room and this has been the case for every hotel we have stayed in and not great for those with caffeine intolerance.

    There is no doubt the location is its selling point and you are paying for the view, should you wish to choose a sea view room. The bed was very comfortable and we got up and left our hotel room to watch the sunrise, but this can easily be seen from your window. The food doesn't have a good rating on certain sites, but we had a fantastic dinner and breakfast. The reception and waiting staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

    Bathroom, especially shower would benefit from an upgrade given the price of our overnight stay.

    Fantastic location with views of Lindisfarne Castle and the harbour from Room 4. Staff very helpful and friendly. Lovely comfortable bar area and a restaurant with views. Bar food good and breakfast had all the usual options, including first rate 'Caster' smoked kipper. Room recently improved with new carpet. Tea & coffee provided and milk topped up.
