Fantastic place for a lovely night away
Lovely big room with comfortable bed. Dinner was good but choices not avaiable
As a guy who uses a walking stick found the stairs a challenge. The bar eating area was rather dark and cluttered
Central town location, friendly staff and clean well appointed room.
Good location and food very good. Room very comfortable.
The location was great for walking the coastal path. We ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely. Breakfast was also good.
staff being very nice
Bland room No view Tight stairs Food was below par
Staff could not have been more welcoming, friendly or helpful. Room was very clean. Breakfast requests brilliantly accommodated.
Room was shabby and tired in places. Also extremely hot: despite no heating being on.
The staff
The stairs to the roomy
What an incredibly friendly welcome, room was cosy, clean and tidy and a lovely bed For the night. They serve wonderful food and the pub has real atmosphere. Breakfast was great.
Room was lovely and spacious , breakfast was lovely Staff very friendly and helpful
Had to ask re WiFi no info in room Just my opinion but would like breakfast a little later than between 8 & 9 when away
Clean and spacious room, perfect for a family. Loved the order-ahead breakfast menu and eating in the restaurant
Staff were very welcoming, good quality tea and coffee in the room, very good cooked breakfast especially the sausage! Room was comfortable. Free parking was a bonus.
All fine, no complaints.
The breakfast was lovely, very high quality and presentation.
The room we were in was quite small but it was ok for the 2 of us. Very clean.
Very friendly staff the rooms were spacious and the food was excellant, we had one lunch and two evening meals there .
Lack of things to do in Amble but mothing to do wirh the hotel.

Staff were lovely, made us feel welcone.Great location and parking. Breakfast was excellent.
Sin ascensor
Location was good, parking was ok, although you had to register your car every time you came back.
We had to decide what we wanted for breakfast on check-in, from a very limited menu - no yoghurts or fresh fruit, or any fruit at all. Room was much smaller and grubbier than depicted on website; if you must have plastic plants, they should at least be clean. The room was tired and tatty. There was no mirror near a socket, so it was impossible to see what you were doing when drying hair; there was a hairdryer, with a very tight curly cable, if you tried to stretch it to the mirror the plug flew out of the socket. The view from our bedroom was on to the backs of other houses, there was no privacy unless you drew the curtains, which didn't really fit the window and certainly didn't keep the light out.
Comfy beds and nice breakfast.
TV didnt work in the bedroom. Was hoping for a small discount but staff wouldn't entertain it and said they were sending people out the day after which was no good to us. The only coffee in the room was decaf.
Friendly staff very helpful
Excellent breakfast
Problems with the WiFi which the manager explained had been an ongoing problem. Small room, needed refurbishing. Nothing like the photos on website. Was told we’d chosen the cheaper room??
Large and light room with great bathroom. Food was good. Nice location in Amble
No dedicated Wifi; the “cloud” Wifi didn’t work
Clean, comfortable and welcoming. Lovely breakfast Very friendly and helpful staff
Rooms were uncomfortably hot
It's in a good location with parking and the pub side is nice the food is good as well. The staff are really friendly. The breakfast was really nice and fresh cooked to order.
The room was very warm but this is down the weather. There was a good fan provided though.
The staff were lovely, very welcoming. Great location
The bedroom could do with better curtains, the room is too light at nighttime
Comfortable bed, clean throughout and the staff was all friendly. Good bar area and close to other amenities. Enjoyed our stay
Could do with a bit of a paint job in areas
Big family room, very comfortable beds, nice breakfast
Very clean. Staff lovely and helpful.

Le personnel pour sa gentillesse et son hospitalité.
We chose to stay in Amble as it was near the famous Alnwick Castle. We were so pleased with the welcome and the overall enjoyment we got from the Wellwood Arms. Great location, easy to reach from the highway and close to the other sights we wanted to see. Room was a good size with a view over the courtyard and the beautiful flowers boxes. Just a short walk down to the harbour, with lovely views and fresh air. Comfortable room, big bathroom and the breakfast the next day was more than expected. A great place to stay and a wonderful memory. Highly recommend Wellwood Arms!

Breakfast was excellent. Wonderful staff. Excellent location. Parking on site.
Room rather small and plain. Noise all night from kitchen extractor fan. Window overlooked neighbours.
Staff, shower, location
Poor dried up breakfast. Had to ask for clean towels. Room not serviced. Lack of atmosphere in bar due to set up & language of some of clientele.
Breakfast,good and very filling. Nice walk down through town to harbour,nice watching boats moving.
Onlly had time for one night, Looking
The initial welcome to check in, friendly and informative.

The location and most importantly the people. In particular Amy and Andrew.
Not a lot.
Easy access to town and harbour. Friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfasts. Spacious room. Sparrows nesting all over the garden especially in the hornbeam hedge. Private parking.
I have mobility issues, and the stairs were very challenging for me. A banister that is easier to hold would help.
Good breakfast & meals. Central location with free parking. Welcoming staff!
Not a great outlook from our window, but otherwise great.
Great place!

Recently refurbished. Nice beer garden. Lovely staff and excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
Location was excellent,bright on high street. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rally comfortable nights sleep. Large bathroom with a good shower
Had cooked breakfast which was not to my taste, Would definitely use again but different option for breakfast
Room was a good size.
Nothing really.
Friendly staff, comfy bed. Not bad breakfast.
Instant coffee is a bit poor for breakfast these days. Sausages were really good but eggs and bacon maybe a bit overdone.
Very friendly staff, great pub food and nice bar. Quality in room tea and coffee
Basic but comfortable room but lacking in any personal touches. No black out blinds so very bright from around 5am
It's situated in Amble which is where we wanted to be The room layout was odd with a shower on one side of the room & toilet and basin on the other side - so 3 rooms to complete bed & en-suite. Not a problem though all good
Welcome was a bit off. Breakfast was ok if a bit DIY for tea, coffee etc. Room was small & bed was standard double. Wouldn't rush to stay again but not the worst place to be. It did the job
The location was great, a 10 minute walk down the high street to the harbour, which is the hub of activity. The room was pleasant and clean. We both found the pillows to be too soft, but that's just personal preference. Staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast was cooked to order. Free parking is always a bonus.
Guests need to be aware it is a dog friendly inn. At one point there were 5 dogs in and around the bar.
Great location. Lovely breakfasts. Lovely, friendly staff.
Nothing.
Good location.
Location and free parking. Very comfortable bed.
Definitely needs an update, chipped paint, paper off toilet wall in patches.
Staff were very efficient and helpful
Breakfast
The terrible creaking of the floors in the bedroom and toilet and the hallway when people passed
Location was perfect a short walk down into the town centre and harbour. Food was good. Staff were pleasant and made us feel welcome.
Not sure if the room was checked properly before our arrival as night wear was still in the bathroom.
Well situated, good menu choice, staff really friendly and an excellent breakfast and lady we saw couldn’t do enough for us
Nothing
Great location
Rooms are a bit tired
The staff are lovely particularly the lady who booked us in and served breakfast
The pillows for me were not comfortable but I don’t sleep well anyway
Amble is a lovely village, pub looked nice from the utaide
Constant noise in the room all night. Constant loud noise from the pub beyond 00:00am. Arrived home and had a message from the pub seemingly accusing us of breaking a bed. Second time staying and was upset the pub didnt have the same feel as prevoius stay.
Breakfast was superb Evening pub menu was good value Staff were lovely
Been before it’s excellent
Nothing it’s great
Spotlessly clean, excellently furnished and quality linens. Friendly and helpful and welcoming and personal check in
There was nothing we didn't like
