No. 1 Hotel and Wine Lounge in Northumberland

Nice place just need more staff after 20 minutes waiting to be served walked out 1 girl working behind bar and serving food

Stayed here for one night, that was enough ! Staff were friendly enough but felt for what we were charged this didn’t consider value for money room 11 was extremely good sized room with one double & two singles but the whole appearance was very lacking see photos below Breakfast was extremely poor therefore couldn’t recommend.

Absolutely awful food. It was like something that was cooked in advance and then frozen until we ordered. Dried out sausages and mash. Dried out Balmoral Chicken. The veg was hard and tasted of freezer burn... so did the mash. Worst food ever and it cost over fifty quid. Rip-off Wooler. The restaurant had no other diners besides a group who ordered two portions of fries. It wasn't busy, yet it took over half an hour and we had to get the waitress to go to the kitchen to ask after our food. This is the first time I ha e ever had to leave a review like this about any restaurant. Absolutely awful. So bad I left half my wine behind...

Do yourself a huge favour and do not eat here! Absolutely shocking! Booked in for a family birthday meal for 7.30pm on a Bank Holiday Saturday. The manager was in the process of asking other customers to leave because they had the audacity to complain! After taking our drinks orderTHREE times we eventually got our first drink at 8pm. Wisely we decided not to oder starters just mains and go back to our rental for birthday cake for dessert. Our mains appeared at 9pm!!! The order wasn't entirely correct but we knew not to send it back. The food ranged from okay to appalling. A second round of drinks eventually came three 3 G&Ts were sent back due to lack of Gin!! The bill, when it came, was wrong. The service was dreadful and the whole experience ruined a special birthday - thanks for nothing No.1. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Absolutely shocking from start to finish! By far the worst service ever, I thought we were in an episode of Faulty Towers it was that bad! There were 6 of us and we were celebrating my sister’s 60th birthday. Table was booked for 7:30pm, they took our drinks orders 3 times because they kept forgetting it, we got our drinks just after 8pm, our food arrived at 9pm. The food was a definite 1 out of 10, I was expecting lovely homemade fish cakes and I got 3 small pre-frozen deep fried cheap tasting fish cakes, disgusting 🤮 The highlight of the evening was getting 3 gin and tonics with no gin a flat warm tonic! The bill was also wrong. We didn’t receive an apology they just kept saying they were busy. We have never experienced anything as bad as this and it completely ruined my sister’s special night. Fuming 😡

Great food we took our daughter and her partner plus our seven month grand daughter foor an evening meal first class service from the staff very accommodating for the little one would highly recommend would definitely go back

Well where do I start , our food was terrible and we didn’t eat it , but had to give full explanation why we thought it was terrible was so uncomfortable, we had our drinks snatched away even though we said we would pay for drinks , who made this lady manageress she needs some kind of customer relation lessons , utterly shocking

Stopped here on our way home for a quick bite to eat, we were absolutely blown away. Staff so lovely especially the lady with the short blonde hair, didn't catch her name but so impressed. The food was outstanding we were so happy we booked to come stay here next month! Beautiful place we can't wait to come back.

A lovely Hotel with great staff and an excellent chef. We stayed New Years Eve 31/12/23 and New Years Day 1/01/24 and had such a good time we have booked for 31st Dec 2024

We stayed for the weekend at No1 and had a really lovely stay. Very friendly and helpful staff and our room was great, country chic with a beautiful stone Northumberland fireplace. We sat in the bar for dinner which was excellent - I can recommend the Balmoral chicken with haggis mash and a sauce to die for - and breakfast was really good with lots of choice and served very promptly. We'll definitely return.

Popping through Wooler we so the pub/ hotel open so we thought the 6 of us would stop for a drink and a spot of lunch. My husband can not refuse fish and chips when he sees them on a menu. So 2 of them ordered fish and chips and 3 ordered soup of the day which was vegetable. And 1 did not want any thing. The fish and chips came and so burnt and only ate the fish out of the middle which still had loads of bones in it and the soup well I have never had soup with fried parsnips, roast potatoes and fried mushroom and it had that much fat on the top and it wasn't blitz properly that's how we knew what was in the soup with mint and loads of pepper. We were offered a free pudding or speak to the manager. We just wanted to leave. It's not the staffs fault they were lovely just get rid of the cheif. It will be cheaper in the long run.

I have food allergies to gluten, onion and garlic. So eating out for me is a nightmare. But the chef, Diane, at No 1 is so amenable and helpful it is a pleasure eating there. I have eaten there several times and now when I book in advance, announcing my allergies, on arriving my menu options are with the main menu, which is an absolute miracle for someone with my allergies. My meal this evening was absolutely outstanding. I had Angus Burger, I haven't had a burger for around five years. It was so lovely and the gluten free bun one of the best I've ever tasted. We are definitely going back. So to sum up, allergies or not, give No 1, Wooler a visit

We stayed overnight on a Saturday. First the positives, the staff were friendly and helpful. Dinner was served quickly but while there was a decent range of food on the menu it was all at the same price and more than I would expect to pay for what was average pub type food. Breakfast had a basic range of hot food, cereal, toast, and fruit juice. The accommodation was OK, the decor is a little quirky, the bed was comfortable. The tap over the bathroom sink only ran hot water - out of both hot and cold taps. It was the same in another room. And now the reason for the 1 star rating: This establishment calls itself a hotel and wine lounge, as such I expect to be able to get a quiet nights sleep. After dinner, about 8.45pm we retired to our room to watch some TV for an hour or so as we were tired after travelling up from the south of the country. At about 9pm we heard a guitar being tuned up below our room. Shortly after that an hours worth of live music began! It was so loud we could not hear the TV and our bed was vibrating. At 10.15pm there was a half hour break, then the music started up again and continued until approx. 10 minutes past midnight. It was not gentle relaxing music, for the most part it was heavy rock. If the staff had bothered to let us know there was a live music show that night we could have sorted something out. As it was, I think it was quite appalling treatment and firmly believe that they should not let out rooms directly above where live music is playing if they want to call themselves an hotel. My recommendation is to check before you go for any live music shows, and if there are, insist on a room at the back of the hotel, otherwise avoid entirely.

Ate here at lunchtime on Wednesday. Excellent food, reasonably priced and cooked to order. Lovely young lady working in the bar.

Very happy to have booked here after a long wet day walking St Cuthbert’s way. We stayed in room 8 which has TWO huge claw foot baths and a great power shower .. we managed to get our weary legs up the stairs to the bathroom (quirky layout which we did not mind) and enjoyed a well deserved soak. Very comfortable and lovely bedroom with tea/coffee/biscuits. Very friendly staff. Loses a point as we had to wait over an hour for our breakfast even though we were there at 8.35am, 5 mins after the start of breakfast service and had ordered the night before .Whilst it was nice, it threw our whole walking schedule out. My suggestion would be that if walkers are a target audience, breakfast should start at 7.30 and be prompt!

Not what we expected for dinner was a bit squashed with all the tables and chairs in the front area in front of the bar. Food was ok but service was slow but polite and friendly. We noticed a dining area at the back all set up with tablecloths ready for breakfast maybe used this for a more relaxing dining area for dinner. Will visit again when we return hopefully improved.

Pleased to find somewhere to eat lunch after 2.30pm on a Tuesday. Good and friendly service with good choice of food.

This was Hobson's choice as nothing else was open for lunch in Wooler. Food was awful, apart from the chips. My burger looked and tasted like it had been cooked three or four times and the halloumi was as hard as rock. Staff didnt seem to have much of a clue. Too many dogs in for our liking.

The impression is you can stand at the bar then a local turns up and gets served immediately this happened to us twice, I was stood at the bar young girl saw me and continued to put the glasses away a lady walks up and she immediately served her 😡 we’d booked a table for 17:15 sat down at 17:10 by 17:40 after staff walking past us several times no acknowledgment, no menus given or asked if we wanted a drink so we got up and left. We told the lady with the short blonde hair we had been sat there all this time nobody bothered so we was eating elsewhere she said oh right okay 🤷‍♀️ so I’d avoid if I was you although there are limited places to choose from.

food was beautiful, toy box for kids was a huge hit and a reasonable price. Really made an effort with my two youn children too. would definitely return

We have stayed here once before and ate here on a number of occassions when in the area. We were booked to stay in June - just for one night via booking.com and received an email today saying they could no longer accommodate us because of the Covid 19 outbreak.I have tried to phone the hotel, but tere is no answer, does anyone know if the hotel has closed down?

Had a wonderful safe evening with Bill,his lively dog Sam and his staff last night the food was delightful and the company even more -will defiantly be back when we visit our caravan again

This Restaurant is a must when looking for a place to eat. From the waitress taken our order to the food arriving this hotel has it right.The quality and quantity of food was perfect , I had Gammon my first night and Fish on my second visit . I was with my two friends and they both agree with me . Upon arriving we met the owner who was charming and took us to our seats, all of us felt very safe with all covid rules being observed , staff were great and professional at al times . This is a great place to eat and drink but book before to make sure you get a table. Full marks to everyone at The No 1 hotel in Wooler. We will be back. It was also a nice touch that the owner called me by my name Phil.

Well just returned from having Sunday lunch at number one in Wooler first would like to say thanks to the chef what a plate full . Thanks to bill and the staff never disappointed food great pud was lush service was great thanks again will be back

It's a long time since I stayed here and it's now under different management. I always liked it here but its even better now. Beautiful romantic rooms and a very warm welcome.

Great tapas menu totally unexpected in a country village but good value and lots of choice. Nice cosy restaurant/bar area and dogs are welcome. Friendly helpful staff/owners. Doing a good job with the current pandemic restrictions.

Visited twice one for tapas once for English meals and service excellent both occasions 5 star unfortunatelyy tonight not the venue's fault Saturday 3rd October someone lowlife decided they needed my wife umbrella more than what she did left us with no umbrella

Just had a great bit of tapas with my wife and 4 month old boy. Staff were so friendly and being dog friendly we made some great four legged friends. The food was just amazing. We had 6 tapas plates and each was as good as the next. We will be back. Peter, Holly and baby George

Stayed for just one night really nice room ,we had room 9 which has a shower Room was clean and decor excellent one negative is were the TV is positioned but besides that all good. The breakfast was excellent for B/B it was £80.00 .we parked right outside on the street.

We booked a table on the day and were glad we did - the place filled up nicely and quickly. A good testament to what was to follow. The tapas menu was to die for and each course came to us well presented, hot and delicious. The staff were courteous and helpful from us entering the hotel to us leaving after a totally lovely evening. By the way the hotel is "dog friendly" and although we do not have an animal I thought it right to mention this - No.1 in the high street definitely.

It is an interesting old building but with a modern feel in the dining room. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful BUT NONE OF THEM WERE WEARING FACE COVERINGS which was a bit off putting given the times we live in.We had the tapas which was a good decision, an interesting variety of dishes on offer, most of which were very good indeed but the raw garlic on toasted bread and tomato was perhaps not the best. That apart we had a very enjoyable and reasonably priced meal. Certainly worth a visit if they get the face coverings sorted

No. 1 asked to order drinks without a drinks menu. Poor service and impolite. No wine list provided. No. 2 had to wait nearly an hour for our food. Mains were acceptable quality, but maybe we were just hungry. Then we asked for additional condiments and they were not given. Then our drinks were taken away before we had finished eating or drinking. No. 3 and most problematically, Sticky Toffee Pudding was only 2/3 actually edible because a third of it was rock solid. Also, asked for strawberry ice cream, got vanilla. Asked waitress if it was Strawberry and for some reason rather than admitting the mistake, she insisted that it was. It wasn't.

Well what can I say about this place 10/10 no complaints at all . We ordered the Sunday lunch and it was amazing,prices were reasonable as well we were made feel most welcome by the friendly staff very clean and tidy restaurant definitely be back

We visited the No 1 hotel for dinner last Saturday as we had 6 friends visiting us in Wooler. Because of the Covid rules we had to sit on 2 tables of 4 people spaced apart but we were put next to each other so we could still socialize across the space. I saw a waitress wiping down a table and chairs when someone left and there is hand sanitizer when you enter so we all felt very safe. We ordered 12 Tapas for our table of 4 and enjoyed every one of them, our favorite being the chicken in batter with honey and mustard sauce. I love the decoration of the climbing tree along the ceiling lit with lights and it being a dog friendly place with a lovely resident laid back Labrador called Sam. Having recently moved to Wooler this will become my ‘local’ pub/restaurant and I’ll be taking more of my friends there when they visit.

We had sunday lunch here last Sunday and it was excellent. Red hot and attentive waitress.Upstairs is very quiet and pleasant.

No social distancing of tables. Tables - no cloth or place mat prefunctory cleaned . Pesky dog lies in middle of restaurant. Waitresses step over with plates full of food. Risk assessment? Sad tired salad. Wine ? Mediocre. Waitresses one good one hopeless.

Lovely warm atmosphere when greeted.Shown through to the bar - ordered drinks no problem! Lovely beer after a walk.Gentleman and lady serving were fab.We opted for a range of tapas - they were INCREDIBLE! Delicious, fresh and full of flavour. We ordered about 10/12 dishes and they came fairly quickly considering the range of different foods.The prawns were so tasty! And the meatballs were delicious.4 beers, 10/12 tapas and a bottle of wine = £70! Between 4 people I think it’s incredible and very reasonable. We left feeling full and happy! Thank you

This is an absolute hidden gem, from start to finish an amazing experience. Bill is just the best host, alongside Norma. so friendly and welcoming. accommodation is beautiful, outstanding rooms. food is brilliant, cannot fault any part of our visit, so much so we booked an extra night. fabulous gin selection to relax in the most amazing baths ever. nothing will ever beat this trip. thankyou

Hospitality at its best - great rooms, great food, great atmosphere and value for money. Mine host, Bill Cook, is the most welcoming proprietor, ensuring all aspects of your stay are properly addressed by his staff. Dog friendly and a superb range of dishes in the bar/restaurant from tapas to steaks, from Mexican to oriental. Thoroughly recommended to anyone looking to stay overnight or for a longer period in the pretty little town of Wooler.

Everything about this restaurant is amazing, the staff are super friendly welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious and very well priced and the interior is beautiful. Fully recommend to anyone looking for a quick bite to eat, a family night out or a romantic date.

Met up with friends for some tapas and cocktails, as usual the food and service was fantastic. However, our evening was spoilt somewhat by the behaviour of a couple who were celebrating their anniversary - they were very rude to the staff and upset them because of their aggressive demands to staff at very late notice. The staff are not mind readers and we have found that in the past they are very accommodating if given reasonable notice, I.e. not arriving at the table and expecting flowers etc etc.

Having read a few recent reviews we were slightly unsure about calling in for a meal. Much to our relief we were very impressed. The staff were very friendly, the meal was wonderful, 2 steaks cooked perfectly even though we wanted one medium and the other well done. We were so impressed that we returned a couple of nights later to sample the Tapas menu. Asking for advice as to how much to have we settled on 3 Tapas dishes and a sharing platter. Again we were very impressed both with quality and quantity.

Appalling treatment by manager who threw out my aging parents celebrating potentially their lady wedding anniversary together for complaining. Father is terminally ill and they went to make some wonderful memories. My mother cried for days afterwards. Shocking disgusting behaviour.

We arrived Wooler as part of walking St Cuthbert’s Way and was terribly disappointed when we saw where they expected us to rest after a long day’s walk. The room was tiny, hardly room for our suitcases. It had two windows towards a corridor where people were passing, so we had to keep the blinds down all the time. Worst of all, the windows could not be opened! We asked for another room with windows to open, but the hotel was full, and we were told that we had paid for a standard room, and this was standard. The best they could do, was to offer us a fan. Avoid booking room 9 if you stay at this hotel!

The owner is a lovely person and is friendly and helpful. The food and breakfasts are fantastic. Good quality and friendly. The rooms are lovely. Free parking at the rear is also available.

Enjoyed an early evening meal at No1 the food was lovely and excellant value for money. Bill and his staff made us feel very welcome. We'll definately visit again when we're back in the area. Hope Sam enjoyed his walk in the rain x

We thoroughly enjoyed our tapas, good size portions very tasty and good attentive friendly staff. Very nice atmosphere in there what more could you ask for

This dog friendly B&B is situated right in the centre of Wooler and is an excellent base for exploring Northumbria. The rooms are well equipped if a little small. Unfortunately our room was directly above the kitchen air outflow so we had a strong smell of cooking up until 9 o’clock when the restaurant closed. Having said that we had a comfortable stay and the food we ate at the hotel was very good (both breakfast and evening meal). Staff are very friendly and helpful too.

Worst tapas we have ever had the misfortune to be served! Evident some dishes not freshly prepared or resembling menu descriptions and tasteless!! 😡

a nicely done out venue with friendly staff and great Tapas. the portions were good and we were all very impressed by the food. so much so that we went back the next day!

The staff seemed rather surprised that so many people had turned up, and a bit overworked. The food was fine, but not as much flavour as we might have liked. They gave us the wrong bill, and again seemed a bit confused and acted almost as if it was our fault, though they did correct the error. We quite enjoyed ourselves, but we suspected that some crisis was going on behind the scenes!

Despite the website advertising tapas seven days a week, when we tried to book a table for Wednesday evening, we were told they were closed that night. "Essential kitchen maintenance" we were told by one staff member. Oh well, try another night.... The tapas were reasonable, with the sea bass rating a very good. A large portion of Patatas bravas, too. Prices reasonable as well. But it was one of those visits that, a few days later, you have a bit of difficulty remembering what you had ... Most of it was... You guessed it... Reasonable.

Big family meal, eleven of us from aged 2 up to 70s. We had a mixture: some of us shared tapas, some ate from the children's menu and some from the specials. All the food was delicious. Staff very patient and understanding, also very professional. I recommend the tapas. The children loved their ice cream holders. Really nice family experience.

In all honesty, when we visited No1 it was as a result of us not being able to get into our first choice, another nearby restaurant. I’m so pleased they were full as it meant we tried this little gem out instead!

There are 2 style of rooms here (driftwood and fairy lights v plainer decor) so make sure you are aware which you are booking, as this wasn't clear from Ebookers room photos at the time of booking. We picked this hotel over equivalent one by the coast despite it meaning a 30 minute drive each day as the decor looked so much better in the pictures and we wanted to enjoy our stay to celbrate our 5 year anniversary.

Called in on several occasions in last week The food ,drink and service were first class. Will certainly return Many thanks

Nice restaurant, cant fault the tapas or selection, only thing was at the end of the meal, they plates were cleared without asking if we would like to see the desert menu, which we did. Then when I finished my wine, I put the glass down and a member of staff snatched the glass as they passed without knowing if the bottle was empty and without asking if I was finished or if we wanted another drink and the wife was still drinking her drink. Apart from that, it is a good restaurant.

Lovely little bar very well presented and decorated. Good prices and definitely the best bar in Wooler. The owner deserves a medal running the bar / kitchen and hotel he managed to ensure we were looked after during our drinks bringing round little treats was a nice touch.

Stayed here for three nights, lovely hotel, room was outstanding with lovely bathroom. Owner and staff very friendly, especially Sam the retriever. Would recommend without hesitation. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. Looking forward to staying again

this was a very nice place to eat out, the service was excellent and the food was exceptional definitely worth a visit.

Five of us dined here and we were blown away by the quality and value. You just don't expect to find a good tapas restaurant in Wooler. We started with the #5 appetizer platter which would be a meal in itself for two people, five of us couldn't finish it as a starter. Everyone loved the small plates, some ordering two veg and one protein, some two protein and one veg. The pimientos turned out to be padron peppers, my favourite thing, which was amazing; they were perfectly cooked and a generous portion. I also had a delicious piece of sea bass with mango salsa, and garlic prawns. The bill was very reasonable for what we received.

We booked this overnight stay whilst walking St. Cuthberts Way based partly on these reviews and we did not have the same experience as many other reviewers.Our big mistake was NOT to book a superior room. Our room 6 was tiny with outside fan noise constantly buzzing and hardly room to put 2 bags down. We asked to upgrade immediately but nothing else was available. The owner ignored us, the service was indifferent, and we were disappointed by our experience. Fortunately the Italian restaurant, Milan , across the road was excellent.

Booked unseen on line. Great reception when we arrived. We did phone ahead to say we would be late which appears to have been appreciated. Sam the dog met us at the door which was a wonderful-welcome. Lovely room, quiet with great facilities. Excellent breakfast layout, choice and quantity. Very relaxing, very friendly and appears to be excellent value.

Had a wonderful tapas meal on Friday evening. Fabulous selection of dishes. Staff were as usual friendly and very attentive. We are returning this weekend to stay here once again. Looking forward to it very much!!

Six of us went here for a meal on Saturday night. Fantastic tapas menu which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Had a good selection from gambas pil pil to Albidongas. Fantastic value as well,plus extremely friendly service. An excellent evening and venue.

Read up that this place was dog friendly and did tapas (which me and my partner love) so we rang up booked a table for 2 plus a dog (to make sure there welcome)

We visited here for Tapas on an early Sat eve 5p.m

Amazing tapas restaurant decor magical. Chizo and black budding, paprika chicken and potato with salsa and sour cream really nice. Decent kids menu served in non touching other food plates and food prepaid fresh not so processed. Decent meal for 4 drinks included £50

Had an anniversary weekend in Wooler last October, staying at No 1 Hotel and Wine Lodge. The hotel was good value for money, modern, comfortable and quiet, and the restaurant was very atmospheric and cosy with its tree feature across the ceiling. The food was good, the service very friendly, and we had a very enjoyable stay.

We spent a very pleasant evening here with friends and greatly enjoyed the Tapas and atmosphere. The restaurant is beautifully appointed and the food and cocktails were excellent. The kitchen and bar did seem a bit overwhelmed (and the front of house team a little stressed) and the food took some time to arrive, but it was worth the wait, and allowed time to peruse the cocktail menu further.

Booked a table for a Saturday night in the bar where we were able to take our dog. Excellent service from the staff when we phoned up to reserve the table and we were welcomed into the bar.

Just booked for a little one night get away,was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful room and the warm and friendly environment.The hotel is set in a lovely village with some shops and pubs and lots of walks. We decided to have tapas in the hotel for tea and I was so pleased we did, the food was amazing and reasonably priced. Can’t praise the staff enough, nothing was a bother and they made you feel so welcome x if you want beautiful accommodation with friendly and helpful staff this is the place to go. 10 out of 10 loved my stay and will return x x

We dropped in on the off chance and were really happy with the delicious tapas and attractive restaurant.

Offering a varied selection of tapas at sensible prices , this place is a delight. The menu features something to please even the fussiest of eaters. Large portions, helpful and friendly staff made the evening a great success. Highly recommended.

Three of us went here while staying in the Youth Hostel just up the road. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food choice was excellent and we had some squid, taps, skewers, etc. all of which were excellent and large servings. Dessert was good too. They had a number of wines but didn't do draught beers. They did have a 'fancy' draught lager which was a bit expensive but was ok.

Had a lovely meal in a relaxing atmosphere. Food was lovely and Ross our waiter was so helpful with what to order. He was attentive all evening with food and drinks. Would recommend.

Have been a few times now, food was he usual decent standard, only put off by the older man who seems to walk around in his own little world with a Golden Retriever all night, stopping at some tables to talk and stop while people are trying to eat their food, his banter at best was cringeworthy. The dog just lies anywhere, fair enough it’s a dog friendly bar, but keep it out the restaurant through the back especially when there a load of hair all over the carpet every time it gets up.

Tapas is really the only food here but it is excellent. Staff went out of the way to be helpful. Future visitors may like to know that the bathroom in room 8 is up a flight of 12 stairs from the bedroom.

Visited this hotel for a two night stay for our wedding anniversary.Along with our dog, this hotel appealed to us due to it being dog friendly.

We only popped in for a couple of drinks but the staff were welcoming, the drinks very nice and the prices reasonable. The food looked fantastic but unfortunately for us, we had already eaten.

We visited on a sunday evening and were pleasantly surprised by the decor, fairly lights and driftwood. Was really nice.

A return visit after two years. We had heard the Hotel had changed hands but we were pleased to find that our tapas meal was as enjoyable as it had been before. We booked ahead and indeed the restaurant was busy. There was a nice relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and efficient. There was a good choice of tapas on offer. It was all delicious but the portions were much larger than those normally associated with Tapas Restaurants. (the Northumberland take?). The desserts were delicious too. Highly recommended.

The tapas are fabulous. Everything we had was delicious. Highly recommended! Try Plato #6...cheeses, ham, olives, sun ripened tomatoes. It was great. Three of us shared that and two tapas specials, we are taking food home and are all very full!

The tapas is very poor here. Would not come back or recommend for food. Service was very good. The lady behind the bar was very pleasant and helpful. The real ale are delicious. My wife enjoyed the house white ( Spanish).

We visit the No1 regularly and I have to say Bill, Lesley and the Team are fantastic. There’s nothing that cannot be accommodated. The Tapas menu is fantastic, there’s a good choice and generous for the price. There’s an excellent range of drinks. Your always met with a smiling face and a quick chat and catch up no matter how busy the Hotel is. This place is the benchmark for independent hotels in my opinion. Fabulous.

We stayed at the no 1 Hotel for two nights. We were put in bedroom 5, which appeared OK until about 5pm, when the atmosphere started smelling like a chip shop and there was a loud noise from a fan coming through the window which we had open due to the heat. On our way out to eat we raised the issue with the manager who immediately upgraded us to a better room which was much better. Problem solved. Well done the management. Breakfast was OK, but not amazing. The coffee was a bit stewed as it sits in a kenco type filter machine. The rooms are a bit quirky with bits of driftwood everywhere.

We stayed in Wooler for just one night and the hotel was a real gem. The Owner was so helpful and friendly . Our room was large and extremely comfortable - the bed was enormous! We had dinner in the hotel - the Tapas were perfect for us as we ordered some dishes, then more. After years of chain hotels it is so refreshing to find somewhere with its own character .

. . . eat at the Italian restaurant across the street. And if you have two nights in Wooler? Eat again at the Italian restaurant across the street. The No. 1 Wine Restaurant is very far indeed from being No. 1. The service, to start with, is perfunctory at best. We had three different servers, none of whom showed the tiniest interest in us. "Ready to order drinks?" "Hmm, well, perhaps we could see the wine list first?" "Ready to order your food? Just gimme the numbers." Once the food was plopped down on our table, that was it -- no one approached us again to ask if we needed anything further or if everything was alright.

We live in the USA, but being English, I miss my full English breakfasts. We stayed at this hotel and enjoyed a wonderful fresh cooked "Full English Breakfast" - excellent meal and service.

We called in for a drink but after reading the menu decided to stay and eat dinner. The menu was full of different tapas dishes, we chose 4 which was sufficient for 2 of us. The food was delicious and well presented. Will definitely return as good value for money.

We stayed here for one night as a quick St Cuthbert’s Way walking stop. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Bathroom is spacious-great shower-sometimes hard to come by in the UK! Bed was not the most comfortable-but did the trick. Breakfast was a highlight!

Stayed in wooler for a week and visited this place twice. Good cocktails too and enjoyed the tapas. Good atmosphere.

Enjoyed our Tapas meal on a Sunday evening. Off to a good start - we were welcomed in from the rain by friendly staff (including Sam -a gorgeous labrador retriever!) Being a party of 2 carnivores and 2 vegetarians the Tapas menu had something for everyone. 3 plates each gave us plenty to share and mix 'n' match. Great value too!

We highly recommend the food, service & dog friendly attitude we encountered here. If we are ever in the area again we will be making a bee-line to eat here again, it really was that good!

We visit this place when we are staying at Wooler. Bill and his team make this pub. The hospitality is second to none. The tapas menu is great and they always have a fine selection of drinks. Sam the dog is a welcome member of the team also. When your visiting Wooler you must pop in.

I can’t speak for the others but Room 11 is enormous. It’s a family room with a king bed and a twin. The peaked ceiling is at least 12’ height and the is about 20’ long by 12’ wide. Five skylights. You could play table tennis in here. Very large L-shape couch, table for 3people, large armoire. Small bathroom for a room this big. Shower but no tub. The only negative is the artwork which is an odd combination of street scenes in Paris with Scottish stags and tartan. Also, there are 2 odd chandeliers, one traditional and the other modern. Who decorated this place? But again, this is a huge, very comfortable room and I would definitely stay here again.

Tried this place for the first time yesterday and I was not disappointed.

A very reasonably priced hotel in the middle of Wooler. We stayed in a King room with a roll top bath in the bay window. A very nice room clean and comfortable.

We booked this holiday after reading the reviews and we were not disappointed. We were given Room 1 as our original choice was not available and the room was lovely and large, with a large bed and the feature wood and fairy lights in line with the hotel theme. The bathroom was large but only has a bath with a hand held shower so something to bear in mind if this is not your preference.

Wine and tapas in pleasant surrounding. Fairy lights on the ceiling entwined round grape vines turn casual dining into something more speciL. Good service and you won't leave hungry!
