Weekend break

Cooked breakfast was good but the cereal choice was unimaginative. Water pressure in basin poor. Shower good and it cleaned the bathroom. Decorative state was poor. Toilet seat fixing was broken and not resolved to our satisfaction. Insufficient hangers for two people. Current AARating was incorrect. No way a 4 star so overpriced.

Hotel review

The room was superficially good, bed large and comfortable but the room had some problems. The handle on the bathroom door was very hard to open. The shower leaked over the side of the bath creating a swampy puddle. having washed it took an age for the condensation to clear. However on the plus side the breakfast was excellent. The room was advertised as having wi fi. There was none available and no explanation of why.

Could do better.

As the only two people staying at Orchard House for the first two nights and joined by only 2 more couples, it seemed odd to be given a top floor room. (Note: No owner in residence) Also it would have been good to get hot water up to the dizzying heights, as only a trickle of not so cold water arrived when the tap was on. A suggestion for the owners of all B&B's would be to stay a night in each room yourself to see how you would rate it. Check out if the shower head is held in place or falls out of it's holder, etc. The bed was of poor quality, every spring could be felt and the usual "roll together" effect was present. Finally, even though it's meant to be a tranquil setting, WiFi would be useful so guests could researsch what to do in the local area. The staff were very nice. We've stayed in much worse but payed much less. Locally, Cragside was amazing and thoroughly worth a visit. The village pubs provided a good choice of dinning options. A very nice village.

Beautiful

Audrey was a lovely host, nothing was too much trouble. The room was clean neat and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was served hot and fresh, and the service was excellent. I would encourage all of my family and friends to come to orchard house and looking forward to using it again.

Baby-friendly rural break

Very accommodating place, very welcoming of babies/children. Unfortunately, my email was not noted in which I had specified some dietary requirements, so these were not ideally catered for. Breakfast portions are also relatively small; healthier but not the treat I like to enjoy when I'm on holiday! Room was very spacious even with our travel cot and other baby bits! Shower was great - powerful and hot. Unfortunately, the toilet seat was somewhat loose and there was some dirt around the hinges as well as strange patches on the wallpaper and a tatty headboard. There was also quite a lot of noise; from other guests, the plumbing and the extractor fan in the en suite.

6/10 Okay

a little disappointed

Overall, our stay was pleasant, though certain aspects were a little disappointing. There were a few nice touches in the room - fruit, water and biscuits, however the room showed signs of a lack of maintenance. The bed headboard covering was peeling off, the springs in the mattress were evident, bath plug didn't work etc. The breakfast waitress was very helpful and pleasant, and the food that was served was very nice. However I must say that this is the only guest house I have ever stayed in that didn't have any breakfast buffet. Not one thing. There was no fruit, yogurts, croissants or anything out on display. Disappointing for the price paid.

A very nice hotel with friendly staff.

The hotel is very comfortable and the staff is excellent but it is not in Morpeth, as advertised. It is in Rothbury, which is 15 miles away from Morpeth. We had booked this hotel specifically because we wished to stay in the town of Morpeth and were disappointed we were so far away.

FANTASTIC. We'll definitely be back

Everything was perfect. Room was great well equipped clean and with period architectural features. Breakfast menu gave a good choice and the food we had was really good and cooked to perfection. The owner was very welcoming and made the stay very relaxing. Fresh milk for tea in the room was great. Would be happy to recomend to friends and we will be going back in the future. FANTASTIC.

nice hotel just 1 mile from Cragside

we chose Orchard House after looking online for a b&b close to Cragside, a National Trust property which we wanted to visit en route to Scotland. It was lovely to have a hotel so close to our last visit of the day and so very easy to book online. We had our evening meal at the Turks Head, lovely fresh cooked meal, but there are plenty of places to eat in Rothbury. Breakfast at Orchard House was excellent, a wide choice for vegetarians as well.
