The only reason I have graded this hotel as average is I feel the rates are a little too high; our large village view room was fine although the decor was a little dated. The large bed was excellent and most comfortable and the bathroom had been refurbished. Cooked breakfast was good and our evening meal was excellent and good... More

Spent a week D,B&B in one of the cottage suites. Accommodation very comfortable, food excellent, waitress service a credit to the hotel. However some of the holiday was spoilt by 3 days of loutish behaviour by a party of about 20 rowdy men. Shouting, swearing, jeering, booing and loud animal noises are not acceptable in a hotel dining room. Rather... More

We stayed in Embleton in a self catering cottage, but as it was our aniversary we wanted a nice meal, a special meal, something to match the occasion. We were not disapointed by having dinner here, it was fantastic and one of the best meals we have had in a long time. On the day we had dinner the hotel... More

We were looking for a well positioned pub hotel with good food and atmosphere and where we could guarantee a good sized room. The superior village rooms fit the bill nicely. Good food though choice / variety lessens the longer you stay. Good standards all round and friendly staff. The only slight disappointment was that the place was dead by... More

Five of us went for a meal in the hotel restaurant. The bar and restaurant were small but pleasantly intimate. The service was attentive and friendly, the food was excellent with a good selection of seafood. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Embleton is a marvellous location with a wonderful beach with views of Dunstanburgh castle.

It was fitted out to a very high standard. warm and very comfortable. We ate each evening in the hotel restaurant and the food was outstanding, beautifully presented and great... More

Embleton Bay never fails to please. Until people see it, they don't believe how great the Northumberland coast is! Just had a weekend at the Dunstanburgh Castle hotel - excellent. The room (village view) was spacious and equiped to the standard you'd expect, however at £121 a night B&B, possibly, slightly overpriced - BUT THE REST IS ALL GOOD! -... More

Stayed over the long weekend and was greated very warmly by the receptionist. When we entered our cottage suite, we were really pleased with the character and layout of the suite. On inspection, it was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom was decorated nicely with a dressing room next to it. Underfloor heating and a fire that you... More
