The staff were so nice and helpful, Clare was great happy to help and always had a smile on her face. The room was clean, tidy and warm. Easy to park. Unfortunately a lot of things were not available on the menu in the evening, which was very disappointing. You could hear other guests going to there rooms, this did wake me with a jump

Noisy
The room was small and so noisy that I hardly slept. There’s some type of compressor or something outside which is very noisy and sounds like it is in the room. They were short of staff so both meals we had there were a disappointment in terms of the food and service.

We checked in and for £116 B&B it was quite basic. But the real problem became clear when the fire alarm went off at 1.30am. All guests vacated the property expecting a member of staff to appear to take charge. There was no memer of staff onsite which if we'd been informed of this and given contact details that would have been fine. there were no fire notices anywhere and no contact number for emergencies. We rang 999 and 2 fire engines turned up. They tried to track down any fire but couldn't access the pub part of the building and despite online searches couldn't find a contact for a keyholder. we gave them our keys to the guest side of the property and they found no fire on that side but found a staff bedroom with no staff but a set of keys to the pub side. No fire there but no way to turn off the fire alarm. After an hour a local member of the public tried to help, went to a staff member's house but couldn't raise them. After 2 hours a staff member was found and at 3,30am we went back to bed. In the morning the staff apologised and said their boss was coming out to the pub as he had an appointment with the fire safety officer.

POOR
Disappointed with the room. The bathroom had what appeared to be damp, paint was falling off while we were there and water marks everywhere in the bathroom. It was also very noisy so our little girl did not get to sleep till after midnight. The room was in a poor state. I would not stay again and think it is very expensive for what you get.

Totally not value for money would not stay there
The check in was very good showed to my room which I was reasonable at the time On further investigation the bathroom looked like it had rained in with plaster coming off the wall and dust on the toilet top, there was dust under the bed legs indicating that the bed had not been moved On top of that there was a constant hum comming from the extractor fans, and the beat of music comming from the bar below the bed room, the food was poor to say the least, breakfast was a joke it was just about warm and the egg if I had thrown it against the wall it would have bounced back

Enjoyed our stay
Enjoyed our stay at the Wellwood. The only criticism I have is that the floorboards in all the rooms are quite noisy. Therefore you can hear other guests moving around. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food both at breakfast and in the evenings was very good. Shower was excellent.

Very nice pub.
Lovely pub to stay in. Our room was on the front and quite noisy with traffic outside from about 7am. It would benefit from some secondary glazing. The room was spacious and clean with a large bathroom - great shower and bath. The green fire exit light in the bedroom was a bit bright in the night but the beds were clean and comfy and that's the main thing. Vegi breakfast was nice and included in the price. Personally I would have preferred to have paid less and not have breakfast but that wasn't an option. Staff were lovely and friendly. Good vegan options on the menu too.

Value for money. Friendly staff.
The hotel is clean and thoughtfully arranged for social distancing. Staff are trained to be consitent on covid proceedures. We enjoyed the beer gardens and the ambience in the pub. Thanks for the friendly welcome.

House hunting overnight stay in Amble
We had a choice of bedrooms at the Wellwood, when we arrived... due to cancellations due to Corona virus. Rooms were very clean and bed was comfortable but the decor was a bit shabby and in need of some redecoration. This didn’t detract from our enjoyment though. We had all we needed. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive and we couldn’t have asked for better. We were the last people to stay at the hotel before all bookings had to be curtailed due to virus. So it was unusually quiet! We ate in the restaurant and can highly recommend the food. Extensive breakfast menu and it was excellent! I think it was good value for money and we would stay there again.

Staff were hard working and friendly. Room itself (and bathroom) a very good size. Not a lot of clothes space (felt like a venue for a few days rather than a week). Would have been good to know to expect noise from below pub in evenings.

I liked the effort they had made in decor ,menu,friendliness, speciality evenings. Not liked, choice of breakfast starters ?out of orange juice, only three cereals, only toffee yogurts left day two. Only strawberry jam, breakfast ordered was not what we received. Out of mushrooms. Out of flats breads for dinner previous evening, out of hash browns,Toast burned , coffee warmed up taste. Bedroom door handle came away when entering, the loo seat was broken off, wobbly. The staff were bright and welcoming, the food was good, the rooms extremely clean and well .equipped. Easy access to places of interest.
