Rude staff horrible place to stay
Breakfast only at 8.30am no good for people who start work at 8 am and not on website. Drainage smell in room bed uncomfortable, no where to check out in morning as all locked everywhere would not recommend.

A bit disappointing
The room was okay. The door was not properly fitted on the spring. The dining room needs a proper clean. I dislike sticking to the table. The staff need to be interested rather than take it or leave it.

The start of our walk for the Northumberland coast path so a great location for this plenty of parking on street around the village to leave the car for 6 days. Very quiet in the pub upstairs in our room - a good size good size bathroom. Only suggestion would be some marmalade or preserves for the lovely toast at breakfast would have been great.

A very reasonably priced property. The highlight was the Full English breakfast. As with may of these cheaper rooms the ensuite can smell a little damp- but this was the only negative - good water pressure and shower. Would stay again if in the region.

Useful base for wedding
We stayed for one night as we were going for a wedding near by. The check in time of 2 was very strict which was slightly unfortunate as the wedding started at 2.30. We had called the night before and asked if there was anyway we could get in 10 minutes before but were told no and that most guests keep their belongings in the car until they return at night. This was not helpful but when we did arrive they did actually let us in 10 minutes early, it would have been good to know this to avoid undue stress. The staff were friendly on arrival and at breakfast

Would recommend and stay again ourselves.
Very relaxing time, old mining village with several beaches in close proximity. Great restaurant setup with a selection of meals each evening. A traditional breakfast to fill you for any day ahead. Plenty on offer for those that don't wish a full on traditional meal. Room was spacious no complaints on that at all. Bathroom a bit tight but does not detract from the room at all. Car park has plenty of spaces and a local shop opposite.

Home from home
Stay at the Plough fairly regularly in order to visit elderly relatives living in the area. Katrina and her staff look after their guests really well, nothing is too much trouble.

Nice Hotel, not in Morpeth
This is a lovely pub/hotel. The room very spacious, very clean and modern. Very new, comfortable bed. Lovely staff, decent pub food and friendly ambience. My only gripe is that Expedia suggests the pub is in Morpeth. It isn't. It is over eight miles away from Morpeth. This isn't what I expected, as the address suggested it was Front St Morpeth. I drove to the town, without Sat Nav, as that's easy enough. When I got there, I found it was another eight miles away. A bit misleading, as I'd planned a night in the town and had business in the town the following day.

Very friendly hotel.
From our early check-in and throughout our stay Katrina, Holly and Abigail were always happy, bubbly and helpful. The full english breakfasts are enough to fill you up all day. We stayed for 4 nights so regularly had a few drinks in the lounge in the evening so the bar staff knew what we would order. f

Food was superb, location was fantastic, however. The Inn itself is dated, we had a twin ensuite room, beds were comfortable, towels, toiletries, TV. Free Wifi but could not get any reception for it. I was woken up very early every morning when the heating came on as it rattled through the radiators, the shop across the road was constantly busy with cars going to and fro, the entrance to the Inn was underneath so smokers stood outside at night. I do think it's overpriced and although the location for my trip was brill, I would not stay there again.

The simple shower attached to the bath taps was inadequate and antiquated with no heat control. It needs updating. Breakfast was delicious. The bed was comfortable so on the whole a pleasant stay.

Very welcoming. The room was very clean and well-appointed. There was some noise from the kitchen extractor fan below the window but this shut off around 10pm so fine for sleeping. Easy to find and a short drive to the beach. Evening meal and breakfast very good too. Would recommend.

8th stay approx ...
I've stayed at the Plough alone , with my sister and niece , and my brother , whilst visiting my ( now deceased ) dad . I've stayed in 3 of the 4 ( I think ) rooms available . All have been clean and comfortable . Bedding always clean . Bathrooms always clean . Staff extremely friendly . Katrina is a busy but welcoming host . Great location for visiting many beautiful towns/villages and beaches. Ample car parking space . Car has always felt safe . On last visit 5 days ago my brother and I went on our motorbikes on a pilgrimage in memory of our dad. Katrina , without asking, provided out of sight , undercover parking for our bikes . Great service . We only stayed 1 night this time and enjoyed 3 pints of Abbots ale and an evening meal , plus outstanding dessert ! We slept well and finished our trip to the Plough with the extremely consistent full English breakfast ; really really tasty . I also enjoyed another full English next morning at another Inn , which was tasty too , but not a patch on Katrinas . Yumm. I could eat it now !!! I will be back at the Plough before the year is out . I'm a bit of a fussy guy , but the Plough is a great place . Enjoy your travels :-)
