The Craster Arms Hotel

We received a warm welcome on a cold winter's day and throughout our stay Wayne and his staff were attentive and ever-pleasant. The real ale and outstanding cooking were real features and breakfast and dinner each night were much enjoyed.

We stayed in our motorhome in the pub car park. We had a meal at breakfast at the pub and restaurant - absolutely superb! There was no charge for the stopover and no obligation to eat in the restaurant. We’d love to go back and can definitely recommend it x

Food "ok" but chips and batter very fatty. Hand cut gammon really thin and well done, ie, tough. Can't fault the deserts and can't fault the service, but think the quality of the food could be better for the cost.

Lovely pub in a great location family room was a good size and very clean and tidy check in could have been better just stood in the middle of a pub waiting for a flustered staff member wasn't great.

This was a return visit for a short break as always the stay was excellent. The room was comfortable and clean, the staff very helpful and friendly and we will definitely be back....again!!!

As we were staying in Beadnell we thought we’d give the nearby Craster Arms a go especially as it accepted dogs. The food was excellent and a good selection of cask ales to choose from. Lots of well behaved dogs under the tables (including ours) which was nice to see as so many pubs and eateries don’t allow dogs. Pleasant and polite staff and good value for money,

We stayed in room 3 - the kitchen extractor fans are directly outside the bedroom window - obviously it was noisy - no chance of enjoying the room during the day. The bedroom was basic and tired, it was totally overpriced. The bar manager totally uninterested that the room was substandard. The duty manager unobtainable - I don't mind paying for good service and good quality but this stay failed on both counts.

Apparently this used to be the place to eat….not any more in our opinion! Food is terrible, service is rushed and value for money is poor. Fish some of the worse batter ever. Not clean, broken chair at our first table, tables sticky and could do with a full makeover. Avoid, and go to the hotel or tea rooms nearby. !! ( Not the cafe over the road, same owner apparently).

We love this place only ever eaten there so first time we’ve stayed , we chose a suite - room 1 was allocated- room down by the service entry . Initially not a problem, room lovely and clean spacious however little air circulation as you cannot open windows apart from one by 2inches and no fan in room so extremely stuffy in the hot weather - that was disappointing. Plenty room in the room for the dog with us as well . Both mornings woken 0630 crashing about outside our windows and by the service room , deliveries of barrels and things obviously needed for the day but please don’t book this room if you would like a relaxing quiet lie in - not well rested sadly as room is also noisy til late at night which we’d expect being in a pub . Staff Very friendly and helpful, food as usual excellent. A shame but we wouldn’t stay again unless we had to due the noise and lack of airflow in that room . Perhaps Room 2 suite upstairs is better or a standard double. Maybe request they have fans in the rooms as well .
