Staff were friendly too, if a little deceiving at times (one minute there was “no brown sauce left at all” and the next minute, voila!, brown sauce for a different table) plus the “wifi must have gone off” when the penultimate couple had left the bar at 9:30pm, so sitting there without the Sonos playing music meant for an early night for us (and the barmaid).

The other big negative was the parking. It was awkward to park and occasionally you were hemmed in by the staff, so we parked on the road for free.

Oh and shower lost pressure at times. Not enough to be an issue but was irritating.

Rooms aren’t being serviced whilst Covid is around, but they will leave tea/coffee/milk sachets and change towels if you ask.

Bamburgh is a lovely place and the hotel is well located so if you are happy with a “cosy” room and vulnerable parking then by all means give this place a go.
It just lacked the features that were important to us, so we would stay elsewhere next time. More

  Booked a one night stay whilst passing through the area on business. Really comfortable room, clean and nicely decorated and quiet too. Had an excellent evening meal and as I... read more had an early start before breakfast, the lovely receptionist gave me cookies and fruit to take with me. It's the little touches like that that ensure you will return. And the cost of the stay was minimal to boot. Can't recommend highly enough. Hope they get through this current crisis.

  Very dog friendly.good food and acomodation with really friendly and accomodating staff to hand.

A visit to Holy Island not to be missed as there are many lovely gift shops and cafes with homemade cakes etc.

  Visited with family. Some rooms better than others but really enjoyed the visit and would visit again. Excellent staff, friendly service, clean and comfortable. Very good restaurant ,beautiful location, parking... read more can be an issue ,car park very small and not really an option.
Due to COVID-19 we didn’t get beds made room cleaned, but tea coffee biscuits do get replenished. Would highly recommend

  Hubby and I stayed overnight in the room at the front of the hotel, with the large bay - it was exceptional. The room was huge and well-appointed. The decor... read more was lovely and it was immaculately clean. It was in a good location, just a few minutes’ walk from the castle. Breakfast the following morning was lovely - everything you could wish for, cooked to order and very tasty. The staff were extremely friendly. A great place for a base to see Northumberland - we only wish we had stayed longer.

  Loved this hotel. Friendly staff made us feel welcome - good food (really enjoyed my cooked breakfast) - modern spacious rooms and located close to all Bambrugh's atttractions. I highly... read more recommended this hotel.

  Had the pleasure of staying at this little gem of a place whilst visiting beautiful Northumberland for a few days recently, all the staff were excellent and extremely helpful and... read more friendly, the room was more than adequate for our stay whilst we explored the area. We ate in the hotels restaurant on two occasions and both times the meals were excellent and great value for money, many guests seem to be repeat visitors which isn’t surprising and we certainly wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

  The location was great for exploring the area of Northumberland particularly the attractive coast. The hotel facilities were superb and in other circumstances the hotel rating would be in... read more excess of that accorded. Rooms, facilities, and catering were first rate and the staff were most helpful and courteous.

  Stayed overnight at this lovely hotel in a twin en suite dog friendly room. Whilst the room was quite small we had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and... read more the room was lovely and clean. There was ample tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits and toiletries of nice quality. Breakfast was delicious and done in two sittings so everything felt very safe. Love this part of England and would definitely recommend/stay again at The Sunningdale Hotel and Bamburgh is beautiful.

  We have just spent two days at this overpriced establishment. The room in the attic was tiny with a shower that a 10 year old would struggle to wash in.... read more Hearing the guests snore in the adjoining rooms was not conducive to good sleep. Staff were hard to find. We waited and rang the bell for bar service on Tuesday, but no one responded. We went to The Victoria for a nice drink instead. I wish we had booked there instead.
If you are visiting Bamburgh, stay in a lodge in Newcastle and hire a helicopter. It may be more economical.
When leaving I was asked if I enjoyed the stay. I replied that I wished she hadn’t asked that question. The response was that she said nothing and processed the payment
My final concern was the unrestricted window which opened to full capacity. Health and safety lacking here. More

  Very friendly staff, with the reception very chatty.
The room was neat and clean, with all the expected facilities.
Breakfast was very good, buffet of the fruit, cereals, breaks, juice... read more etc. and then option to order full cooked breakfast.
Only issue was access to the parking, ended up parking further up the road, as there were no spaces in the car park.

  Spent the weekend at the Sunningdale hotel with my son. We had an amazing time. The staff are really friendly, the food is excellent and the rooms are fantastic, beds... read more very comfortable.

The hotel is close to all local amenities and attractions. Stunning beaches and views. We will certainly be staying here in the future. If you are coming to Bamburgh I can’t recommend staying at the Sunningdale hotel enough. Thank you and your staff for a great weekend.
