The Tankerville Arms

What a charming, comfortable, warm, peaceful, and friendly inn. We stayed four nights and the staff were wonderful, advising on the best places to visit. Customers were also friendly and welcoming. Slept well, ate well, and it was nice to be in such a picturesque spot.

Fabulous food and brilliant service. We called in on the off chance of there being a table free for dinner. We were lucky there was. The lady who served us was lovely and helpful. We had Sunday lunch. The food was amazing. Thank you.

Feeling in need of pampering, booked the Suite which fully met expectations. The room is huge, with large bed and a 'living room' area with leather sofa/arm chairs plus TV with Sky and DVD (plus disks). There's also an Amazon Echo unit, if you wish to use Alexa. I was especially impressed with the pre-stocked mini-bar containing chilled waters and also milk for tea/coffee and snacks. The bathroom has a large walk-in rain shower, but no bath if that's important to you. My preference would have been for desk in room, I was balancing laptop on my knees sitting on the sofa, although clearly this hotel is aimed at leisure travellers. Also a personal choice, I'd have liked net curtains on the windows which had a line-of-sight to houses across the street. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent and staff friendly and efficient. Although the room has windows facing the 'main' road, that's a relative term in Eglingham and I wasn't troubled by noise through the night. It's always nice to find a hotel where you pay a bit more but that extra is well worth the money for a very enjoyable experience.
