Perfection at the Whittling House

Absolute perfection, I cannot recommend the Whittling House highly enough on every aspect. Breakfast was of the highest standard with exemplary service with a smile. Set in a small friendly community this is an excellent hotel choice, give it a go you will not be disappointed

Such an ideal spot to stop on our road trip! 2 minute walk to a beautiful coastline and lots of nice pubs to explore! The hotel room was spacious, clean, comfortable, perfect for our family of 4. Nice tea and coffee facilities too. Breakfast the next morning was 10/10!

Northumberland coast

The hotel was lovely and the town of Alnmouth was very nice too , food in the restaurant was very nice with good service. The only downside was the smell from the kitchen made its way into our room from the vents outside our window.

Amazing

Such a nice place to stay, we’ll definitely be back. The staff were so friendly, the food was great, and the room was lovely. It’s hard to ask for more from a hotel. The parking area was small but we had no problem getting a space. It doesn’t have EV chargers but there are 4 by the beach which is a 2 minute walk away. Our dog was so welcome there in the room and the dining room, he loved it too. My only tiny criticism is it’s not clear on this app which rooms are dog friendly and we had to do a last minute upgrade, so do speak to them before you get there. All in all, we loved it and can’t wait to go again!

Lovely hotel, great staff.

We booked a one night stay in August and were so pleased to have done so. Our arrival --early , was met with " cannot book in until 4pm" which was a disappointment and unusual . However at 4pm were greeted by very helpful staff who sorted out our faulty TV . Dinner was very good and breakfast also. A really good stay in a lovely hotel.

Short stay

This was a last minute change of plan, the hotel is excellent. Parking for about 3-4 cars round the back, we were in an x-trail and there was a Disco Sport there but I think anything bigger might be a struggle. Room was spotless, not much space for clothes if you were there for a while. Staff were excellent, breakfast very good and the location is great. About 5 minutes walk to the beach
