Stayed here for 1 night and was brilliant value for money.
The double room was cosy but plenty of space for 2 of us, with a fab view of... read more the castle and the sea!
The bed was comfy, the shower was powerful, and the hotel is beautifully decorated.
All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Claire who checked us in was very welcoming and very clued up on Covid safety.
The breakfast was delicious, especially the sausages.
Would definitely stay here again!

For those who have read the negative reviews - yes, the rooms and showers aren't huge but it's an old building and in my opinion, very well done. It is good value for money especially when compared with other similar hotels in that area - and in a year when most people seem to be holidaying in the UK rather than going abroad! More

  Lovely stay over Bank Holiday weekend. Booked online which was very simple to do. Received a useful email about COVID restrictions, used online check in and got a... read more very warm welcome when we arrived. The hotel is in a fantastic location with free on site parking, staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. Everywhere was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. COVID restrictions were in place and working well. Only suggestion for improvement would be some updating of bathrooms, but overall an excellent stay at a reasonable price - thank you.

  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.

  The hotel is in Bamburgh itself, on the main high street.
On arrival we were struck by how clean, tidy and Covid 19 aware the hotel was.
We booked a... read more dinner on the first night; the food was delicious with plenty of choice. The dining experience was friendly and very comfortable; you could quite easily interact with other diners from a safe distance.
There was a good selection on the breakfast menu; the food was cooked to your taste and they basically did whatever you asked for.
We couldn't fault the staff in the hotel, they were super helpful and friendly.
Our room was quote small, however it was very clean and had everything you would want plus a very comfortable bed.

If you don't like animals, then you may want to avoid the hotel as they allow pets. This didn't bother us as we like dogs; to be honest Bamburgh is very dog friendly and we wished we'd had a dog to take.

We are hoping to return to the Sunningdale next year once travel is permitted. More

  We stayed for 3 nights in early September with our 2 year old and we all absolutely loved it. It was a much needed break and we couldn’t have asked... read more for better. The staff were so welcoming, helpful and we could tell they were smiling behind their masks! We felt very safe throughout thanks to the well thought through Covid processes. Very spacious family room which worked well for us.
Breakfast was brilliant and much loved by our little one! We wish we could have eaten in your restaurant again the food on the first night was fab! Also a great location for us given the small walk to the beach and the best placed play park under the castle! Hopefully we can come back soon. Take care guys! x More

  We stayed here for three nights at the end of September. This was the first time we had been away since the pandemic started. All procedures for keeping covid safe... read more were adhered to; the check in track and trace procedure, hand sanitiser availability, face masks being worn. The staff were continuously using hand sanitiser and sanitising tables and chairs in the restaurant.
We were not only made to feel safe, but also welcome. The girls in the restaurant were very cheerful and alway made time to check that we had everything we needed.
Our room on the ground floor was roomy and comfortable with good en-suite facilities. Breakfasts were served at the tables with plenty of choice. We ate dinner in the restaurant on two nights and the meals were very good with generous sized portions.
We can wholeheartedly recommend the Sunningdale Hotel.

  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.

  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 returned from a very relaxing two nights stay at the Sunningdale Hotel . Our spacious ground floor room provided easy access for my wife who has difficulty... read more using stairs. The room was spotless, comfortable and had a good sized shower. There were plenty of hand sanitiser units spread throughout the hotel . We were allocated our table in the restaurant for our stay, and it was thoroughly cleaned as soon as we left it. The breakfasts were excellent, lots of choices of cereals and porridge, fruit juices etc . The full English breakfast is a stomach filler and excellent quality produce. All the staff throughout the hotel and restaurant were excellent, always friendly and helpful and informative. Sam you’ve never met us before but I don’t think you’ll forget us lol. We are looking forward to our next visit in January, can’t wait. More

  Breakfast and evening meal was excellent. Much better than the pubs in the village and was on the eat out government discount scheme. Needed a bigger table at breakfast because... read more there was so much food brought out. 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). Hmmm? We were perplexed as to why the receptionist told us at check-in, that she would of liked to upgrade us as we were staying for 4 nights but couldn’t due to the hotel being full. Not a problem we thought and then we saw our double room. We have stayed in larger cabins on the cheap cruises. I could very nearly touch both walls with my hands and toes.

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

  We stayed at the hotel for three nights and it was excellent. Our rooms were small but perfectly appointed and very clean. The bathrooms could possibly have done with updating,... read more but were fine. The beds were comfortable and it was extremely quiet.

We ate in the hotel on our first evening and the food was, without doubt, amazing. A small choice but all well-cooked and presented. Breakfast was equally as good with plenty of choice and flexibility. The staff at breakfast and dinner were very friendly and helpful.

All in all, a very good stay with only the Wi-fi not working well due to an issue with it which they were in the process of sorting out.

I would recommend the hotel and would certainly stay again. More

  Stayed in one of the dog-friendly rooms (room 12?). The room was clean, comfortable & spacious enough for 2 adults & 2 large dogs. The bed was one... read more of the most comfortable we have ever slept in! Breakfast was superb - plenty of choice (including vegetarian options) & quality produce.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we are hoping to return later in the year.
