Loved this hotel, very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms. We were half board and the food was gorgeous. A lovely bar area with a log fire and a beautiful dining room. Would highly recommend.
Staff so friendly and caring .Worth going for food alone,good menu .Good beer cellar. Just perfect place to stay for as night away.Congratulations to a well run place with an excellent friendly team
Only problem was that the heating was inadequate in our room - the Barker Suite - it was lovely but very big and it took some heating as it was a cold weekend.
Nevertheless it was a great stay with exceptional staff.
Found this place a couple of years ago , third visit food was great as usual , accommodation excellent and staff very friendly would definitely recommend and will return in future.
Wonderful old public house. Fantastic food , good selection of ales. Polite efficient staff.
Room very clean , spacious and tastefully appointed.
Wonderful stay but I feel at £140 per night maybe overpriced.
For that premium I would expect pool, sauna etc etc
However I must point out it was a wonderful night, with a terrific meal also.
Friendly and very helpful welcome. Excellent accommodation and very quiet and comfortable. Food of the highest quality. All staff very helpful and friendly - nothng was too much trouble.
Excellent parking.
Very good value for money.
I would have given them a 5 on service if I didnt have to wait so long at check in.
The rooms are spacious, wifi is good, as is breakfast. They have a decent selection of Ales and the food is very nice (although I did feel the need to order some extra veg with my main meal. I had the Breats of Duck). The starter portion of moules was a decent size.
Car parking is secure and the location although in a quiet rural setting is fantastic for the A1 to get to Alnwick. After initial hiccup with check in, staff were really good, friendly but professional. I would stay here again.
The Cook and Barker is an amazing place, in the middle of nowhere, but close enough to Alnwick and driving distance to Holy Island etc..... staff are really friendly, breakfast is outstanding - thank you. We stayed in the suite and were blown away. Evening meals are exceptional, everything was cleaned to a high standard.
I booked at 8pm, arrived 10.05pm and was unexpected to the ladies working. They looked a bit shocked and told me I was lucky they were still there. They found me a key and After a long drive I asked if could take a drink up to room but they seemed out and only offered up a bottle of cider (presume switch fraught taps off?). I declined went to the room which was a single not the double booked. At that point I went out and drove to nearby Alnwick for a drink.
