This was a really lovely hotel, yes some of the decor is dated in the hallways but the room was so cozy and modern. Not that I wanted modern because of the history of the hotel! 

I wish it had more ghosts as we didn't experience anything supernatural whilst we were there but would have loved to! 

There was no one else to be seen and other than being welcomed and checked in by a very friendly gentleman for 5 minites, saw no one, no guests, no staff, but to be honest it didn't take anything away from the experience, we had a phone number should we have needed anything. 

I would have liked to have explored the hotel a little more, especially Room 28, which wasn't signposted anywhere, but didn't want to snoop, 

But I can't complain it was such a lovely stay!

Quiet, friendly, intimate hotel with modern twists! I loved how secluded it was and not another human being to bother us!

I think we were the only people in the hotel , the bar and restaurant were closed. 
The entrance is dirty and smelt of damp , the corridors leading to our room were damp and cold . 
Our actual room was clean but very outdated , the tv didn’t work and the shower was scorching hot which was hard to cool down . 
We stayed in the family room with our two children and the beds were comfy. 
The staff were pleasant and helpful but could tell they seemed a bit embarrassed about the hotel.
This hotel is in a gorgeous location and it’s such a shame it’s in a bad way . It needs taking over and doing a complete renovation. I think one day it could be revamped and lovely again . 
I won’t be staying again . 

Sad looking hotel

The hotel is filthy in the rooms i would never return again no food no breakfast parking non existant i would not recomend to anyone the worst hotel i have stayed in from check in to leaving total nightmare just avoid it seems cheap but you will be disappointed it hasnot been cleaned in a log time

Very poor dirty smelly no hot water no service at all

I only rated 1 because I couldn’t rate zero went last weekend and stayed for 2 hours as no hot water no heating and the reception man knew this on booking us in and did not tell us when we realised there was no hot water to take a shower we we told it’s getting fixed just wait kept waiting for nothing as it wasn’t fixed staff absolutely rude don’t care I was trying to explain we need hot water and trying to explain to him he needed to for hygiene for his self and the kitchen were the food was cooking and he didn’t seem to be bothered boomed through booking.com paid £65 got a refund of £9.13 do not stay here it’s dirty and staff do not care about a single thing I could go on and on as there’s that many bad things to say but just skip staying here do yr self a favour keep yr money and feel clean as you won’t staying here such a shame because alnmouth is a beautiful place it’s the poor residents I feel for having to I’ve next to this place

Vile place and rude staff

Walked in and straight back out. Your senses will guide you
Stale dirty smell,  damp. Dark dismal.  Read the reviews. Took the advice from locals to avoid at all costs. Such a stain on a beautiful village with so much beauty. The interior and exterior need a lot of work. I would never eat here   went in out of curiosity afyer reading the reviews. And yes they were correct. Would give 0 if I could.

Carry on walk past.

We've never stayed overnight here but with the reputation of being Britain's most haunted hotel, we couldn't not pop in for a visit. First time was in 2023, we were excited thinking we'd fine an enchanting bar area full of history, Unfortunately, this wasn't the case, it was a weird mish mash of old and new which made no sense. We were hoping for traditional, old looking charm but that was barely visible. Fast forward to 2024 - horrendous changes have been made. The fireplace has been boarded up (to the point it doesn't even look like it exists), old painting/ornaments removed and replaced with Indian style fare which is so out of place. There is now a tv in the bar/lounge (tiny) showing pictures of tropical birds and playing the worst 'relaxing' music you'll ever hear on repeat (every 40 seconds). Asked the bar man about the supposed hauntings, he rolled his eyes like he couldn't care less. This place needs to be taken over by someone with the respect for the history of this hotel and venue and play up to the selling points - ie the history, culture and most of all - the supposed hauntings! I hope the current owners put this place up for sale/lease so someone can come in and make it what it should be.

Shameful

A decrepit and disgusting hotel which is largely an Indian restaurant with rooms. It is not a boutique hotel with lovely views and anyone who thinks it is hasn’t been there. 
Do not stay here and if you want evidence contact trading standards as I understand many guests have in the past

Avoid this establishment

This hotel is squalid and not fit to be operating as an hotel. We were led up a filthy stained staircase, past the damp stained cielings on the landing to a freezing grubby room with mould around the window and a mildew lined bathroon. When we said it was not acceptable we were shown 2 other equally vile rooms.
We declined to stay there and asked for our money to be refunded. The manager "wasn't there" and has not yet had the courtesy to call us. The hotel also has an emergency food hygiene closure notice on it.

A vile squalid hotel that should not be trading

A Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice has been served on the establishment (by Northumberland County Council Environmental Health Dept) as a result of an "active rodent infestation" The bar and restaurant are closed as from end October 2023

The Food Hygiene Rating is 0 out of 5 (no surprise there)

I will leave you to make up your own mind

Active Rodent Infestation

Absolutely disgraceful,filthy , carpets scruffy,pillows you wouldn't even give to a dog, they make you pay in arrival and there's no one to complain too when you leave,I was ill off the breakfast,eggs where off

Schooner is supposed to be a haunted hotel,the scariest thing about the place is how it is run.
