Decent Location, Some Disappointments
shabby carpet broken television
The room felt quite dated. Only one chair existed in the room, not ideal for a superior twin room. The carpet and chair seemed rather shabby. I also found the television did not work most of the time.

Really good Village Inn Experience
friendly staff great value lovely garden
The staff showed excellent friendliness. I was impressed! I found a delicious steak night deal. It offered amazing value. The beer garden looked lovely, and a fine beach plus a golf course are very close.
The salad accompanying the ham sandwich I ordered seemed a bit sparse for the price.

The inn provides an excellent base to walk by the beach. Access to Dunstanburgh Castle is easy. Driving and parking a little closer to various attractions is also an option if preferred. It is convenient.

mediocre quality dog fee
The food prices were ridiculous for mediocre quality. it seemed like they upped the prices because they thought they had a captive audience. the room also had dust. Charging over £100 a night plus a dog fee, that is not okay. the dog fee supposedly covers extra cleaning but clearly doesn't.

Great Golf Getaway
golf links charming setting generous portions
I loved the location near the golf course. Breakfast had nice options. The village setting is older and charming. The Sunday lunch impressed me with its generous portions of meat.
The room was very small. It overlooked the windows of another room, which I did not like.

I found the breakfast adequate, and it has plenty of choices for everyone. Sunday lunch portions are large with lots of meat served, though I could not finish it all. I recommend dining here.
