The Manor House Inn in Northumberland

Lovely evening in a lovely pub the Landlord and his wife were great , very welcoming and the food was amazing best pub food I have had in ages more like restaurant quality

Spent the evening here as we were staying at the nearby campsite. Good choice of real ales and rums at a decent price. I had the cajun chicken burger and my husband had the open steak sandwich. Both came with lovely garnishes and the purple slaw was fab. It was the first shift for one of the front-of-house staff, but I really couldn't fault her at all. Had she not mentioned it was her first night, we really wouldn't have known. Natasha and David were great hosts and we look forward to returning in 2024.

Absolutely terrible experience, never again. We were staying nearby and decided to call in here for a couple of drinks about 8 pm. When we went to the front door there was a man standing there smoking a cigarette who showed no sign of moving so we had to ask "can we come in?" He replied "yes, when you've stopped vaping". I would never vape indoors anyway. He begrudgingly moved out of the way to let us in and then said "I'm David, I'm the landlord". We introduced ourselves and he went on to say that the bar was a bit noisy as the kids were there. We said we didn't mind and went to order drinks at the bar which had a large and noisy TV sat on it. David then sat down in the corner with (we think) his wife/partner and a mother in law. They then proceeded to have a load, foul mouthed and abusive argument that everyone could hear, in front of the kids who sometimes joined in. When I went to the bar to order a drink the landlord made some comment about me that I didn't quite hear. His partner shouted at him that he couldn't speak like that about his customers. The loud shouting and arguments continued throughout the hour we were there and all 3 adults appeared extremely intoxicated. At one stage the oldest boy (about 11) came over and apologised to us. Terrible experience and we will never be back. There was a full moon that night so we joked that this is why the landlord and the other adults there were so bad! I can't believe this is the same place as described by others here.

Had originally planned just to eat here after cycling the nearby Waskerley Way trail, but after a mentally & physically exhausting walk back in horrendous wind & rain with the bike I was fit to drop. The Staff (in this case the lovely Jeanette & helpful email from Natasha) couldn't have been nicer and so understanding of my plight. They initially couldn't fit me in when I asked for a room, but I will be eternally grateful, for in the end they did manage to accommodate me so I could have a nice hot bath and warm comfy bed. The food was amazing and I know I shouldn't have had that pear and apple crumble, but I couldn't resist, so I headed off to bed truly stuffed. I am so glad I found this place due to being in the area to do the Trail, but hope one day to return. Great stop off on the A68

We visited while staying nearby at Slaley Hall. Decided to give this a try. My starter was black pudding, bacon, and poached egg salad. The starter was slightly below par as the egg was over cooked and not runny but the whole starter was smothered in a balsamic vinaigrette dressing which over powered the other ingredients which was a shame. The mains were much better and I enjoyed the steak open sandwich which was loaded with tender steak and mushrooms. The fries were great too. The staff were very friendly and competent.

Excellent food; very welcoming staff; a neat and friendly uncrowded dining area; great views, easy parking and dog friendly. A perfect place to stop for a meal in a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely go again.

What can I say about this place other than they all way go above and beyond and nothing is ever a problem. We booked Christmas lunch for 11 of the family 1 vegetarian 1 gluten free and 2 fussy eaters yet everything was spot on. The dining room was full and was only 2 chefs on. The bar staff were ran off their feet yet all with a smile on their faces. We have been so many times and love the atmosphere and hospitality we always keep coming back. We will see yous again soon

We spent a wonderful 3 nights at The Manor House Inn. The food was excellent, we had dinner and breakfast and It was first class each day. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff and management were lovely and welcoming, we had our wedding anniversary whilst we were there and they made it very special indeed. We will definitely recommend this Inn to family and friends.

Always brilliant - the food is always top quality and delicious. The owners and team are just great and really go to an effort to make you feel welcome. 5 stars all round

Hadn't been here for a long time so didn't know quite what to expect. I also never complete reviews of places we visit. but felt in this case I just had to. The friendly, efficient service, ambience and incredible food didn't disappoint. The vegetarian dish was gorgeous. Will DEFINITELY revisit. Thanks to all at the Manor House for making our day so enjoyable.

Fantastic from beginning to end. Wonderful welcome, superb food, service excellent but most of all great hospitality from the management. Very friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for our party. Food was amazing, everything done to perfection and clearly home made. We will definitely be back.
