The Auction House

Breakfast was very good! I had the Eggs Benedict and my husband had the full English breakfast. We enjoyed both, and loved the decor. The location was just perfect. We were on holiday from the US, and shops, pubs, restaurants and public transportation were all a fairly easy walk from the hotel. Lovely, quiet, historic small town and excellent home base for sightseeing. For example, from here we took the train to Whitley Bay for a day at the shore one day, and a bus to Alnwick Castle and Gardens on another day.

The property was very quirky and interesting. Lovely decor throughout the whole hotel. The bar area was comfortable and enjoyable. You had to reserve a table for drinks, therefore, even on New Years Eve you were able to easily access the bar and receive good service from the bar staff. A particular mention for Caitlin and the staff working with her on NYE, they were very friendly, helpful and ensured our stay was very enjoyable. She solved a problem with a drink for us and also after leaving behind an item on our departure, staff helped to ensure it was returned to us. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast the next morning too. Would definitely choose to stay at the Auction House again.

When we were greeted by the welcoming manager, we were given a free upgrade to a quirky but interesting room with a copper bath in the bedroom and a huge wooden horse and angels wings on the walls The ensuite was a great modern if a little small room The hotel is situated in the junction of the high street and the road to Newcastle But the area is served by a number of restaurants and takeaway (we enjoyed Lolo risk the food and friendly staff Morpeth was a pleasant surprise by the river and having many shops and an up-market precinct

Staff were friendly and very attentive during our stay. Beds were very comfy in the rooms. The bar was quirky and fun, it is a beautiful venue.

Location was fabulous. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful!
