“This former coaching inn in Belford offers a decidedly un-corporate, characterful stay. Its location is undeniably lovely, providing a welcoming base for exploring the coast, and the team here clearly prioritise genuine hospitality. While it carries its age with a touch of faded grandeur, the comfortable rooms, good food, and palpable value make it a thoroughly appealing option for those seeking warmth over polish.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uknorthumberland
