I stayed at the Sunningdale for 2 nights as part of a group photography workshop. The rooms were beautifully refurbished, warm and comfortable (very welcome after long days in the... read more outdoors). They couldn't have been more accommodating, working around our needs to be out at silly o'clock shooting sunrises. The evening meals were generous and delicious. I would definitely recommend.

  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.

  Very well run, excellent staff, good facilities in the room.

Would recommend the evening meals, extremely good home cooked food, generous portions, good selection and reasonably priced.

We... read more would be more than happy to visit again.

  Visiting family in the area for a few days,I enjoyed a relaxing stay at The Sunningdale.Ihad a well appointed single room at a good price and felt very comfortable.The... read more cooked breakfast looked very good but I prefer something lighter and enjoyed toast and fresh pastries.Only downside - the coffee wasn't great.Perfect location for exploring beautiful Bamburgh.

  Lovely hotel warm welcome, room perfect with sea view, all modern decor and rain shower in bathroom. 1 minute from restaurants and 5 mins from castle. Unfortunately the hotel did... read more not serve dinner which meant we could only sample breakfast. Vast array of breakfast choices, great coffee. Bamburgh is lovely though there is not much to it apart from the castle and the beach. Book a restaurant for each night! Places were fully booked unless you wanted to eat really early or late. Hotel was clean and very accommodating. Our perfect location from which to venture out and explore

  We had a beautiful family room with great views. Friendly service and fantastic gin! We also received enjoyed a delicious meal at the hotel. Bamburgh beach was a really nice... read more place to stop and the castle has lots to see and do.

  We stayed at the Sunningdale while visiting Bamburgh for the Bohemian Rhapsody cinema night in the grounds of the castle. Stunning venue and great night even with the rain! Our... read more room was room 8 overlooking the front and it was really nice. The bed was very comfortable and the furnishing and decor with soft grey and cream tones made the room bright and airy. Even though we overlooked the front street there was no problem with traffic noise. Breakfast was very enjoyable. There is a good continental section and our cooked breakfast was lovely. Even though the dining room was busy the service was swift and efficient. All of the staff were friendly including the owner who checked us in and the staff who served our breakfast. The hotel is dog friendly and although we don't own our own dog it didn't bother us at all. It was our first visit but will definitely return.

  The heading says it all. The food here is amazing we loved it. Having recently stayed at Holbeck Gyll in the lakes which brands itself as a Michelin starred restaurant.... read more What we got were minuscule portions at massive prices. The chef there needs to get to The Sunningdale Hotel and learn from their chef.

Beef cobbler with seasonal veg. Masses of tender lean beef with puff pastry just to die for. £11.95. Sea bass with mussels prawns in a white wine sauce, delicious. I could go on. Worth going there just for the food.

The location is ideal just a very short easy walk to the Castle the sand dunes and the beach. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

At night there is almost no road noise.

Room 9 is small but there are larger rooms. It is a dog friendly hotel. Other guests had dogs but it did not impinge on us.

All in a lovely stay. Thank you. More

  Extremely clean, nicely decorated and comfortable room with generous drink making facilities, superb breakfast, friendly and helpful staff and free parking. A short stroll from the castle. In short, what’s... read more not to like? Highly recommended!

  Pros

Great location in centre of Bamburgh
Staff are very friendly... read more and accommodating
Great view of castle
Food is excellent. Delicious breakfast and I had an evening meal which was excellent
Excellent tea and coffee facilities in the room

Cons

Internet reception was poor. I couldn't access the Net at all using the hotel's WiFi
My TV reception was poor with no BBC channels in my room.
Parking is available but limited. You may find you have to park in the village which isn't ideal when you are transporting luggage.
Room is cosy but I found it a bit airless and hard to sleep at night (maybe upgrade to get air con if it's available)

I enjoyed my stay and would definitely go again but only for a few nights. More

  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.

  We stayed for one night in Room 21. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The staff were really friendly and so helpful. Due to winter opening the... read more restaurant wasn’t open but we knew this when we booked so it wasn’t a problem. The breakfast was excellent and we wished we could have stayed an extra night.
