It was a pleasant stay after visiting Alnwick Gardens. The room was about average size but walk up on third floor. The room was clean and as usual air conditioning was provided by opening the window. Parking is available but not for the faint of heart if you are not used to driving in the UK. Would consider staying there again if we are ever in the area.

Location is perfect, bed was very comfortable. Suited our needs when we were at a wedding and only needed a bed for the night. Boutique it is not though and was rather expensive for what you get. A toilet that struggles to flush paper and abysmal workmanship on the silicone sealant round the shower. Access to room after hours and egress in the morning via a poorly maintained, rickety fire escape due to no staff on site overnight.

I recommend ‘The Muckle’ Room
It was My first stay at the Plough & I was extremely impressed. My room (The Muckle) was just what I needed, plenty of space clean, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Plenty of room in the car park. I was so impressed I immediately booked My next stay at the Plough

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room that i was in had a very high window so absolutely no view. The staff were very friendly and informed me that they had literally just taken over the property. Food wasnt an option as due to the take over they had no chef.

There was no option to open or close the window which I thought was weird. Maybe it was just my room...I don't know. The soap dispensers where not cleaned it all. They were rusty and full of old globs of soap residue. It was nasty. The toilet is a little different and makes a awful noise when flushed. The WiFi is bad. It kept cutting in and out. Other than those issues, it was a decent stay. The bed was nice and comfy. If you are going in and out of the building, you have to use the exit door at the back. When you check out, just leave your key im your door because nobody is available in the morning.

Disappointed
There was no chef so no breakfast- we had to walk into town and this was an extra cost. The room was stiflingly hot with no windows. They provided an ac unit but it didn’t cool at all. They had no hotel WiFi only a link to the cloud with Sky. The room was very small, no chairs cupboards or wardrobe although it was clean and the bed comfortable

THE PROPERTY IS OBVIOUSLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING UPGRADED BY THE NEW OWNERS. HOWEVER THERE ARE SO MANY FAULTS WITH THE ROOMS , GENERAL ACCESS, THE COULDN'T CARE LESS ATTITIDE OF THE STAFF, FAULTY LIGHTING & PLUMBING. I THINK PUNCH TAVERNS ( THE NEW OWNERS) SHOULD BE OFFERING REDUCED ROOM RATES TO COMPENSATE GUESTS FOR THE INCONVINIENCE THE UPGRADE CAUSES OR CLOSE THE PLACE UNTIL THE RENOVATION IS FINISHED. LEFT BITTERLY DISSAPOINTED AND THERE WAS NO ONE , APART FROM A CLEANER, TO EXPLAIN OUR CONCERNS,

Run down hotel with no catering & virtually no staff & difficult access to car park. No ventilation in stuffy bedroom as windows were sealed shut. We had to use fire escape at the back for access as front door was locked overnight; no breakfast available so we saw ourselves out. A note on the door gave a mobile number to phone in an emergency, with a warning that response time could be up to an hour! Even Faulty Towers was better than this, tho to be fair the bed was comfortable!

Having been responsible for making a mistake on the booking date as I wasn’t cancelling but changing I found them very inflexible as did Experian as they weren’t getting good communications either. It’s a pub not a hotel. The accommodation was good except a bad smell from the bathroom where there was no fan, and no bath mat. Duvet on bed no problem but no spare blanket in case needed. Not for the unfit as it’s up four sets of stairs and if pub is locked, up a fire escape at the back of the building. Dining room not in use nor lounge just seating in bar kitchen door left permanently open, never saw anyone cooking but don’t want to see in, doesn’t portray a nice ambience. Never anyone to speak to out of pub hours no contact details in case you had a question, a bit laid back. If they served breakfast and had a cosy area to sit it would have potential.

Veel gedoe wel goed opgelost
Dag van aankomst buitengesloten omdat het slot van de kamer opeens kapot was. Wel een mooie gratis upgrade gekregen voor het ongemak. Maar vervolgens geen sleutel van nieuwe kamer tot volgende ochtend, daardoor juist ingesloten. Bij aankomst met creditcard betaald, dit bleek achteraf onduidelijk in de administratie te zijn. Ook was de schoonmaak van de kamer een keer vergeten. Tijdens het wachten op schone handdoeken wel netjes een glaasje wijn van het huis gekregen. Dus voor mij ongekend veel gedoe, wat gelukkig wel steeds klantvriendelijk werd opgelost.
