It’s like returning home when we stay at The Dunes. Beautiful hotel with just the friendliest staff and at an affordable price. It’s a Pit stop for us this time, as our main holiday is in Northumberland but usually we would enjoy the little walk down the road to the exquisite national trust currently under threat beach - Roanhead.

I liked its location away from a town but near enough for. 5 min drive and near to the coast.

It's a lovely place for a chilled getaway. Very nice and welcoming staff, great food and the place simply looks quality. Not a great deal to do in the area unless you have a car but theres plenty of nice walks to take.

2/10 Poor

Terrible terrible nights stay.

2 night stay here near the Lake District with my pregnant wife as we drive back from Scotland offered us the following: Bits on the floor at arrival, a very warm room I believe the radiators were on as they felt warm so turned to 0, an unforgiving and rock hard bed and the ability to hear everything the other guests were doing until 2 am including watching tv, talking, turning lights on and off and walking around and to top it off there was an obscenely bright light outside our window which made it so difficult to sleep, of course there was only one member of staff we found in the morning and he was busy with breakfast so we just left as we especially my pregnant wife were never going to attempt another dreadful night there. The staff we did encounter were very pleasant and helpful and we did have a great meal in the evening. Awaiting to see if I get a response from the hotel before I contact hotels.com.

Restaurant and food was brilliant. Room was ok a bit worn. There was no soap, shower gel or shampoo. Lovely view though the window.

A brand new feel to the place with amazing staff, who couldn’t do enough for us and our fur baby. Excellent food that catered for all dietary requirements ( ie carnivore and vegan!) Gorgeous dog bed, bowls and treats provided for Winnie. Lovely location for a walk to a natural gem of a beach! We will be back. Thank you Dunes .

6/10 Good

Food fantastic, room hygiene not so good..

Restaurant food fantastic, service poor as one young guy serving overworked. Room bed lining was dirty ! Mattress cover not covering mattress properly and damaged (reception sorted quickly though and gave 1 free breakfast). Bedroom lovely, bathroom very tatty and worn. Hotel was very quiet. Would still stay again though.
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was great - quiet and out of the way but easily access to local attractions. I did find the room a bit warm on arrival and had to immediately turn off the radiators and open the windows. Also, the bed was a bit too hard and uncomfortable for me but that’s personal taste. The wash basin in the bathroom was cracked and I could have done with a hand rail to get in and out of the bath but that was my own fault for not requesting an accessible room.
Lesley, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very average stay

The hotel is situated in a peaceful and quiet area and the room was a good size and nicely furnished. However, there was quite a few things we noticed and made the stay overall just OK. Firstly, on arrival and throughout the hotel there was an intense smell of cow manure from the surroundings, we understand that in the countryside this is normal however inside the hotel some air fresheners wouldn’t go a miss.The room was rough round the edges, it seemed dated even though it was one of the refurbished rooms and there was a lot of stains on the carpet. We were put in a ground floor room and the room was extremely hot at night but felt we was unable to open a window as it didn’t have a latch and opened very wide so was not safe. There wasn’t any air con system in the room but there was 2 fans provided that we found in the wardrobe, one of which didn’t work and the other was very loud disrupting our sleep. We ate at the in-house restaurant which was also rather mediocre. The food came quickly but wasn’t great for the price we paid. The staff in the restaurant seemed untrained and unprofessional. A couple of things was that we ordered steaks and was not asked how we would like them cooked. Also, part of our drink order was forgotten about so had to ask multiple times despite being one of four occupied tables in the restaurant. We were not asked how the stay was on check out, we did not have a very enjoyable experience and will not be returning to this hotel.

Parking was safe. Very clean all over. Beautiful room.

10/10 Exceptional

I arrived on a motorcycle with the large carpark to choose from and found a little out of view corner to leave the bike over night and because the hotel appears isolated i wasn't bother about security too much. One enters the hotel through two automatic sliding doors which is a bonus when carrying bags and crash helmets. The first door opens in to a cosy vestibule with seating around a rather modern teardrop shaped lig burner that appears to drip from the ceiling, it would be a wonderful place to sit on cold evening. After signing in by friendly welcoming staff I found my room negotiating my way up the stairs and along the deep pile carpeted corridor to my room.
