Family run Inn, all of whom were visible at one time or the other, and personalized attention are hallmarks of this hotel. Dinner and breakfast were plentiful and delicious. If there had been more on my agenda for the area I would have gladly stayed longer.
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.

Gezellige vintage accomodatie
Prima Pub/hotel accomodatie. Simpel, vriendelijk, niets modern maar lekker vintage. Ik hou ervan. Alleen als het nodig is ‘s avonds nog wat door te werken in je kamer dan is dit niet echt de juiste accomodatie. Verder prima ontbijt en diner en vriendelijke uitbaters.

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.
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

Business stopover
Basic pub accommodation but good value for money ok for overnight stopover. Food and breakfast all good.
Quiet stay. Warm welcome and good interaction with staff. Good breakfast.
Had an issue finding it as the address was listed as Morpeth but is actually in Ellington.
Great staff that were very welcoming. Food was good quality and room was clean and comfortable. Could hear road noise and the kitchen extractor due to the window didn't seal properly, simple fix.
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.
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.
Friendly staff,lovely big room, hearty breakfast, and a decent and reasonably priced restaurant in the evening. Plus draught ales and a bit of local art for sale.
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.
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
