The Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel

Day out to Beadnell found this gem of a place on our way back in a place called Embleton, my husband, me and our dog Flynn. The owners daughter not sure if it's Ellie is an asset to the place, lovely girl, staff very welcoming, lovely food, hubby said great beer, and my latte was lovely, wish they had done 1 night stays we didn't want to leave. Highly recommended

The food and bear garden are lovely , staff so nice , and Hawkstone on draft , Husband said best Mussels he had eaten in a long time , lovely spot for a relaxed lunch

As a solo traveller I was delighted to find this hotel offered a single room at an attractive price. I found the room comfortable, with space for an armchair in addition to a small desk. The ensuite walk-in shower gave good flow of hot water. My room faced the road but it was so quiet in the countryside this wasn't an issue especially with the heavy curtains. For privacy I would have liked some net curtain or frosted film over the lower window. WiFi speed in the room and around the hotel was fine. The dinner was really good, I went for the fish and chips which were perfectly cooked and generous portion size. Cleary the bar and restaurant are popular with non-residents too. There's also a lounge which is more comfortable than than sitting in the small bar. Staff were all friendly and helpful and there was sufficient on-street parking around the hotel. All in all I enjoyed my stay and would certainly return.

There was plenty of choice on the menu to suit all of us. Everyone was very happy with the food- it was hot and well presented and very tasty. Drinks were reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and service was good. Few places are cheap to eat these days so it should be good- and the Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel didn’t disappoint.

I stayed at this hotel 8 years ago. It has since changed ownership and the improvements are obvious. Starting with a welcome at reception and then throughout the hotel, the staff were all friendly and efficient. There was a good selection of beers in the bar and the food was all delicious. I felt very comfortable here. I have to say that my bedroom could do with refreshing and seemed quite expensive for what was provided but it was comfortable enough. The hotel is ideally situated for exploring the Northumberland coast. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

As the Bank Holiday was nearly on us and we both had some time off we decided to book a long weekend at the hotel and we are so glad that we did. Our room was really nice, just right for us, we found the room to be very clean and fresh and the bed was luxury, we had two great nights sleep. We ate both nights in the hotel, the first night was my favorite, steak with peppercorn sauce, I have been having steak on every visit we have made to the hotel, the steak is consistently very good. A great overall menu including the puddings and a very good and varied wine menu. One thing we have noticed in all our visits is its the same staff in the bar and in the restaurant for breakfast and evening meals, every one of them polite, pleasant and efficient in what they did, This time we noted the change in beers, I was happy to see that Hawkstone was now on tap along with other good beers including Timothy Taylors. All in all another excellent stay for us, everything as expected and more, great rooms, great food and great people running the hotel. We have already booked another long weekend and are looking at booking two more weekends during 2025 at the hotel. Andy
