The breakfast is taken in a room adjacent to the bar and apart from cereals and fruit juices the courses, which have been chosen the night before, are waitress served. This may sound imperfect but it meant all food arrived hot and the tables were cleared immedately. Car parking is hit and miss but by waiting outside the Inn the staff came and collected our luggage, all of which was in the room by the time I had parked.

Car Parking. The only place to park is in the road and this is limited to 2 hours up to 1800. This in turn means the car has to be moved by 1000 the following morning. It took me three circulations of the place (it is virtually a one way system) before a vacant place became available. I would suggest anyone going to stay there times their arrival for after 1600

3 breakfasts on offer. I had all 3. Full English, Kipper & Continental on my 3 mornings. I like variety. Coffee in a cafetière was very good. Piping hot & smooth. Good step-in shower. Good controls & volume. Good towels. Downstairs bar was cosy. Parking in November is fine.

Room temp was slightly below preferred temp. Couldn't increase temp in bedroom radiator. Bathroom rad was actually warmer. Shower cubicle had nowhere to place soap/shampoo etc.

Great central location, staff incredibly nice and helpful. Very comfortable room. Warm atmosphere in the bar/ restaurant, really large outside pub garden with stunning views of the estuary.

If you arrive on a busy weekend there is no parking, although if you manage to get a road side spot it is free. Only 3/4 opening for breakfast however when I explained we would like to go for a run before breakfast we were given an extra 15 minutes. Red lion and the sun (just up the road) both stop serving food on a Sunday at 4. Other restaurants in the village book up very quickly. None of the above detracted from our break though.

Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. The helpings are generous and everything is cooked freshly : a very good system is employed re ordering and timing the breakfast which makes everything easy. Breakfast staff were welcoming and professional. The room was beautifully decorated and the en suite was one of the nicest we have seen.

Some information on early closing of the bar on Sunday evenings i.e 8pm as there are not many other places to go in Alnmouth on a Sunday evening. It would have been nice to have been able to unwind in the lounge of the bar after a day’s sightseeing. A small fridge in the room would also add to the whole experience.

The Red Lion Inn is fabulous, lovely room, friendly staff and really great food. The bar with roaring fireplace was very welcoming and an added bonus.

The overnight parking situation in Alnmouth is appalling and stressful. When I booked it on booking.com it came up under the search with free parking so we were disappointed when we arrived and more disappointed after receiving parking tickets. There is little information available about where and when you can park.

A warm welcome with lovely polite and courteous staff, the room was quite compact but has everything that you could need including tea/coffee facilities , it was very clean and well appointed with a nice large shower. The pub is in a great location and is a good place to stay for walks or enroute to Scotland as we used it for. A generous breakfast although it finished at 9.15am which was a bit early for us as we were on holiday !

Staff were all exceptional, helpful, friendly and polite. Although the room felt a little small it was worth the stay as it had everything we needed and was very comfortable for an overnight stay. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice and no rush to eat. Would recommend and return.

I expect in warmer weather the road outside maybe noisier first thing in the morning but we had the window closed as it was a cooler night.

Perfect location for exploring Northumberland. So close to the sea & set in a fabulous friendly town. Ben & Georgie were perfect hosts, friendly& helpful yet unobtrusive. Great atmospheric traditional pub for post walk & pre dinner drinks. Excellent breakfast to set us up for the day.Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area or indeed wishing to enjoy a few days relaxing.

Nothing springs to mind apart from perhaps a non slip shower mat.

Location was busy during the day, most people were visiting the beach or local golf club, on a night time it was a very quiet and sleepy village! Breakfast was good, lots of options which you need a big appetite for.

Don't like scatter cushions on the bed, they never smell clean. Fair bit of dust under the bed which is on a hard floor so it can be easily blown out if there is a draft in the room.

Beautiful room, quiet, friendly staff, perfect location, down- to-earth pub and great food. The team seem passionate about staying true to their low-key traditional pub/ inn tradition but delivering exceptionally high standards in terms of hospitality. Definitely recommend :-)

TV a little small to view from lying in bed (no big deal though!).. A.lighter fruit/ continental option at breakfast (and Marmite would have been great!) . When away a few days nice to have less rich menu choices, e.g. a vegetable based soup/ stew for evening meal but minor issues and would go back tomorrow!!
