The staff were lovely, could not fault anything and was very reasonably priced for the superb quality of breakfast which was also included.

Felt very safe in this current climate. Would not hesitate to stay here again if we came back to Bamburgh, we were very lucky to find this hotel.

The hotel is centrally located and only a 5 min walk to the stunning beach and restaurants are within walking distance. Breakfast was excellent and served quickly and piping hot! We will be back to this little gem of a hotel.

  I stayed at the Sunningdale for 2 nights as part of a group photography workshop.

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.

There was a wall clock (see photo) which did not work and probably needs a new battery. Putting aside the room, the staff were very pleasant, the breakfast was excellent and evening meal we had from the menu was very good. Hotel Parking is limited and street parking can be difficult as Bamburgh Castle etc is so popular. I would stay at the Sunningdale again but ony if I could get a much better room. More

  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

  We had booked three nights at the Sunningdale last January as our base for a tour of northern part of Northumberland. It was only two weeks before departure that... read more we had the good news that the hotel had reopened.

No issues with sanitizing, cleaning , social distance etc and felt as relaxed as we could possibly be.

The first thing to impress us was the friendliness of all staff who come across as a happy team. The room was in excellent condition and was very quiet despite being next to narrow road.

Two sitting for breakfast so that residents could be kept safe. A good selection available and arrives freshly cooked. At present restaurant only open over weekends which is a shame as we were only able to dine on the Friday evening. The food was superb and superior to some of the local restaurants in the area. Must also applaud the hotel for being realistic with the quality of wine served and price- the previous evening we had an inferior wine at another restaurant and were charged far more.

Parking is available at the side of the hotel, although tight access.

Can highly recommend this friendly hotel if you want to shake off the lock down blues in stunning Northumberland. So much to see and do but make sure you take a trip with Serenity boats to the Farne Islands and see wildlife close up.
