We were a bit nervous about staying here having read other reviews. Ok so yes the rooms are in need of a bit of modernisation but it was very clean and comfortable. Darker curtains or blinds would be awesome.

The staff made our stay really good. 
Nothing was too much trouble. I want to say a special thanks to Lucy.she was absolutely brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. 
The location was great for our trip purpose and we had plenty of hot water! 
Breakfast was really good, fresh with excellent produce. The chef offered to make my husband breakfast even though he missed it by a few minutes. 
We were visiting from London and would stay here again.

2 night stay.

8 Of us visited for a golf weekend. We booked 2 rooms of 4.

The rooms were plenty spacious and clean. For the price i dont know what else people expect.  Breakfast included which although i didn't try (one too many beers) i was told was okay also.#

Yes its not the Ritz. But we managed to book 2 nights for 8 people for £360. It was half the price of anywhere else in Morpeth. I think its great value for money.

Not as bad as the reviews make out

Went in June 2021. Rooms could've done with being freshened up. Shower broken. But all in all a pleasant stay, with good breakfasts. One serious negative: we wished to eat in the dining room for dinner. We were the only people there and in our 70s, and some loud, raucous, and unpleasant music was playing. We asked for it to be turned down/off/changed so that we could hear ourselves speak. A most disobliging member of staff was not prepared to do this. Clearly, the music was not being played for guests but to suit the tastes and mood of the member of staff. Disappointing. We left to eat elsewhere. We returned after our meal to find one person in the restaurant and the 'music' still thrumming.

A musical interlude.

Just got home from visiting waterford lodge with my partner, two kids and dog. The hotel is in a great location, the staff are friendly and attentive. Breakfast was good. There was a good choice of cereal, fruit, yoghurt and pastrys and you could also have a full cooked or breakfast sandwich, toast ect. The corridors were a little dark in areas and the room was maybe slightly abit dated but this didn't effect our stay atall. It was clean and plenty towels. We would visit again. Thanks for a nice stay.

Great location

We stayed recently and It is an ok Pub and great location but needs a lick of paint here and there and some TLC.
It has great potential but obviously has just been left to grow old and if they want people back will need to spend a bit of money on a renovation.
Not terrible but not rushing back either.

It was a great location but needs some TLC

This little hotel is nicely sited on the outskirts of Morpeth, with a little walk, it will put you plumb centre of the town. There are two parts to this hotel, a bar and restaurant area, a separate reception area that leads to the rooms on the first floor. 
We were here for a family wedding in Newcastle and this little hotel suited us for this event. Car parked in the rear parking lot is small but does provide a safe place to park.
We were greeted by a lovely, polite, smiley face who happened to be the manager and we’re given our room and access door keys with little fuss. 
There is no lift, only stairs, bear that in mind when booking as it may prove difficult if you have any disabilities.
The room we were given is medium in size, but presented very clean and tidy. A TV, tea and coffee making facilities are provided. The bed was small for a double but very comfortable. A large en suite bathroom off the room is good, with a shower over the bath.
Plentiful towels and spare toilet rolls are a nice touch.
We asked for a iron and ironing board and these were presented without fuss, good customer service.
The restaurant is off the bar area, with a choice of cooked or cold breakfast menu, both options were tried and both were tasty and nicely cooked.
These are the good points, however, the rooms, landing and general decor are in need of revamp, redecoration. These areas all looked particularly tired and dated, some might like this quaintness, but it is not my taste, a bit of modernisation to the rooms would lift this lovely place to another level.
Despite the look, all in all, our stay was comfortable, welcoming and served our purpose perfectly. Thank you to all the staff at Waterford Lodge who made our stay enjoyable.

Friendly staff, needs a little TLC

Booked 2 nights with staff member "Dave" get there and only 1 night night is available.  Was it a scam to fill an empty room? I asked him twice, two nights was available? He said yes. I get there and no "Dave" and no 2 nights, just one.

Nice place but don't talk to Dave...

This is the worst Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long time the meat was tough vegetables awful and the service shocking a young girl more interested in looking at herself in the mirror other member chatting to themselves most of them had to remind them of my sweets which they forgot about the only good thing was the tea I would not go back here and won’t recommend it to anyone

We booked a couple of nights away through Booking.Com. And booked this hotel due to it being close to the town. What a let down we got there about 4.30. We wasn't taken to our room, just told where it was, the pictures of the rooms looked really nice. We was in room 17, which had the 4 poster bed in it. Looked nice was a bit chilly as the heating wasn't on. Had a drink the radiator started to warm up, so went for a meal in the bar. Food was quite good. But when we went back to the room the radiator was red hot but no heat in the room. Tried the shower, no hot water. Went to tell the staff was told well it's a old building it takes time. Anyway we was taken to  room 14, she tried the shower only to find it was broken. Took us to room 16 which was lovely and warm and the shower also worked. The bed was clean and comfortable. Next day hubby was going to have a shower, no hot water at all. Heating engineers were in the building, but after they had been there was no heating, went out for a lovely meal in the town. Room was freezing when we got back ended up in bed by 9.30 just to keep warm. Wish we had seen the reviews as we would not have booked. And since seeing the reviews and seeing they go back at least 10 years, looks like nothing has been done as all what we have said everyone else had also said. Won't be going back. It needs gutting and rebuilding. Would not recommend to anyone. Will also be telling Booking.com. 

Absolutely terrible. Keep well away.

Myself and other members of my family returned to our native Morpeth for a family occasion. It appears that there were several issues with the hotel rooms

I cannot speak for other members of the family on this occasion, so I will give my personal feedback 

I stayed in Room#1 on a previous stay (May 2022) and, by coincidence, I was allocated this room again 

Apart from the fact that the curtains had been removed (not a major issue, given the roller blinds), the bathroom was the major fly in the ointment here:

No hot water from the tap
Shower pressure way too low 
Cracked plasterwork 

As for the breakfasts, nothing much wrong with the quality, but it appears there is a staffing issue, as we seemed to be waiting a long time to be attended to, and the coffee and hot water (for tea) soon ran out, and we had to remind the staff about this. 

Reception would keep people waiting for too long as well

As a native of Morpeth, I dread to think what impression this creates to visitors, who must think we northerners are so backward!

I think the owners of this hotel need to desperately invest in a programme of major refurbishment to make this hotel great again. After all, you have to speculate to accumulate.
