Room small and unwelcoming. Dated furniture and bathroom. Stair carpet from reception to room looks dirty and dated as does hall carpet. Paid 135.00 way overpriced for room size and furnishings, shower not very good. Beside lamps didnt work. We stay in hotels all the time. Travelodge rooms are better. Sorry this is a not very characterful pub witb y0/70's style rooms.

Excellent hotel.

We booked this last minute trip to Northumberland. We have driven past often during summer holidays and were looking for a hotel for a few nights. The staff were lovely and the food was excellent. The room was spotless but a little small, however as we only booked the night before we thought we were lucky to get a room!! Embleton is close to lots of attractions, close to the beach and Alnwick and Craster. It’s great value for the price and we will definitely be back.
