I would have given this place a much higher rating but they put us in a room directly above the bar and the walls are not well insulated. So the noise from the people in the bar was so loud that we could hear everything they said. This went on until the bar closed at midnight. Then it was quiet. If you stay here make sure you get a room away from the bar. It was terrible.

Worst night’s sleep.

The worst nights sleep I’ve had in decades. Mattress was horrendously thin and worn. You could feel and hear every spring as you lay down. I had to put all the spare pillows underneath me to create a bit of padding to stop the springs digging into me. Shower had black stationing in the grout. Very tired place. Not worth the rate charged

Delicious pub grub

A lovely friendly and welcoming place.
Our room had a great fresh and clean smell as we entered and when I requested extra little milk cartons I was asked if I preferred fresh milk - oh yes.

The beds were very comfy. Just what we needed.
A table was reserved for our evening meal and it didn't disappoint. I hadn't expected the possibility of a roast Sunday dinner on the evening, and it was amazing, delicious and I didn't leave a scrap. My hubby was just as thrilled with his steak and ale pie. Very tasty meal. Couldn't fault it. The wall near the bar had a number of awards and a current one too. Would definitely recommend.

The same staff were up the next morning serving breakfast and nothing was any trouble. Everything was well presented and the cooked breakfast was piping hot .
A family run pub and I would definitely return

Basic but comfortable

Stayed at the Granby Inn for 1night for a business trip whilst working on a remote project.

Location - Very convenient position for visiting Cragside, Hadrians Wall etc and easy to access from Morpeth and surrounding villages.

Comfort - Bedrooms are basic but clean, hot shower, WIFI and plenty of sockets. Would have preferred a small table rather than a recess in the storage to work at but realise this isnt required for everyone. It is above a pub however isnt particularly noisy. The floorboards are very creaky so you do hear other residents outside your room walking up the stairs and past your room.

Food - Dinner was very good and breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. I had eggs, mushrooms and beans with toast and a yoghurt to follow.

Welcome - Staff are polite, courteous and friendly.

Overall - If you're looking for a place to stay that's clean, friendly and inexpensive this could be ideal. If you want luxury then this isnt for you. I thought it was great for my needs.

Great English pub with rooms

The Granby Inn is a lovely “Old
English countryside pub” with a few rooms upstairs. We stayed on a stopover but the countryside around is definitely worth a longer stay. Our room was very big (twin, no 4, at the back) not modern but clean and very comfortable. Good bar and restaurant with good food and service, we will come back and would recommend a stay.

Dreadful

I wasn’t alive in the 1970’s but after one night in this establishment I feel like I was. Every expense is spared and the rooms are awful as are the communal areas. Everywhere looks dirty and is in desperate need of an update. The TV was the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel room. There were also people smoking outside our room so you can look forward to an audience whenever you look out the window at any given time of the day or night.

It’s incredible that there is an AA 4* sticker in the window, I cannot imagine how it would relate to this property. I have absolutely nothing positive to say about the room or facilities. Breakfast, on the other hand, was very pleasant but not enough to redeem the multiple other failings! Stay elsewhere!

Lovely pub, good food and helpful staff.
Our only complaint would be about the room, bed was comfy and the room was big enough.
The problem was how light the room was we were awake very early 4ish needed thicker curtains or blackout blinds.
Also when we were there it was very hot with no fan and couldn’t leave the window open as it was right on the main road and there were lots of cars and wagons going past, their was no air in the room.

The Granby Inn 24/6/18

Carpet up to room can only be described as filthy. Local ale was £4.00 a pint (thought I was in London). I popped out to other pub in village at 9.00pm and when I got back at 9.30pm the entire pub was closed. So much for the \"Open All Day\" sign at the front. Could not use Wi-Fi as password had changed and as everything was shut there was nobody to ask new password. Breakfast was not too bad but plate was padded out with 2 slices of fried bread to fill it. Unlikely that I will be stopping here again.

Traditional English inn stopover

I booked in to the Granby Inn as a last-minute stopover when visiting a friend at a nearby village. The price was reasonable and included a fantastic breakfast the next morning. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the inn and room had the authentic English pub/B&B feel I remember from my childhood (some might say that would be cause for an update but I felt strangely nostalgic about my experience and would definitely stay again).

We were comfortable and well looked after and spent a comfortable night in the Double en suite rooms. The bathroom was well stocked. The tea and coffee facilities were okay.
The joy was the excellent restaurant and the fixed price menu, which was wonderful. My sons say it's the best sticky toffee pudding they have ever eaten, Haggis Bon Bons were a great hit, crab risotto and fresh Sea Trout all fresh and tasty. Great breakfast, with Craster Kippers making a starring start to the day.

This is a locally run family business, built up over the last 50 years. You will be comfortable, well fed and looked after here.

Do explore this beautiful part of England and spend a few nights at The Granby Inn. Close to Dustanburgh, Bamburgh, Alnwick and Warkworth Castles, you also have Hexham and Keilder Water and the National Park within close proximity.

I would stay here again - thank you!

I travelled from Edinburgh to stay for one night as I had an early flight from Newcastle the following morning therefore chose this hotel due to it's location from Newcastle airport - it only took 30mins which was great!

I booked for a single room and was given a twin room. The decor was a bit dated but it was very spacious and clean so I was happy considering I'd only paid £40. My room wasn't facing the main road but it was still close to it and I didn't hear traffic during the night.

I had dinner downstairs in the bar and it was delicious and I was impressed with the presentation too. I was made to feel welcome and the staff (father and son) kept checking on me since I was dining by myself - thank you!

I didn't have breakfast due to my early departure so can't comment on that but am sure it would've been the same standard as dinner. When I checked in I was actually asked if I wanted a packed breakfast (since the price included breakfast) but I declined as I had already packed something light. I would stay here again - thank you!
