Anglers Arms

Dined here tonight as part of a catch up with some friends, food and service were brilliant. Didn't get his name but the duty manager on shift was brilliant, attentive, great service at all tables and made a real difference tot he experience! The food was excellent and as always clean and a lovely place to be.

Our 7th visit to this wonderful place. It's like home from home! Kelly is a dream as are the other staff. Wish I could live here! More more can I say?? We will be back again that's for sure. Couldn't wish for a better place to be. Thanks again to you all and see you again soon. The Chapmans.

Very comfortable, quiet stay. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Coffee and brownies in the room a nice touch, also opportunity for fresh milk. Kippers available for breakfast. Only possible negative was shower - not strong water flow and short hose. Would stay again if in the area.

Not sure who manages this place now, but it’s gone a long way downhill. On arrival for an early evening meal, we weren’t particularly greeted very warmly, but were shown almost reluctantly to our table. Hubby had a starter of “warm” pork pie, which was pretty disgusting by all accounts. It looked like the very cheapest of pork pies, which had been microwaved, hence the pastry was soft and tasted of nothing but fat!! I had a main of grilled sea bass risotto with lobster bisque, which was completely tasteless, not a hint of fish taste to any of the dish, and some pretty wilted samphire alongside…so for a price tag of £22 this was an extremely underwhelming dish! Hubby’s scampi was actually soggy, and tasted like a very cheap supermarket version, accompanied by some pretty tasteless mushy peas. At no point did anyone ask if everything was ok with our meals, and even on paying the £58 bill still nothing offered by way of how our food had been. To summarise, dire food and equally dire and uninterested staff!!

Very good value. Comfy room, excellent breakfast, good pub food in evening and very helpful staff. The location is ideal for visiting the sites of Northumbria. The Anglers Arms itself is located in a very quiet and peaceful position although close to main A roads for easy access.

Although off the beaten track, the Anglers Arms is a Fantastic place to stay. Situated a few miles North of Morpeth in Beautiful countryside. The rooms are Clean and spacious with on suit shower room, the food is superb and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Had a minor problem first night but rectified very Quickley, Definitely worth a visit. And with a river right across the road, it's an Anglers dream.

Sunday lunch was delicious- copious amounts of really good quality food. Husband had fish and chips- thoroughly enjoyed it- proper chips and light batter. Homemade cheesecake was unbelievable. Staff were lovely, attentive and pleasant. Lovely pub, locally sourced meat, fab outdoor area for when the weather improves.

Poor quality food. The chicken dish was so dry that it was hardly swallowable, the fish and chips had sloppy batter with lots of bones still in the fish. The fish was tasteless and definitely not fresh, accompanied by greasy chips and low-quality mushy peas. The dessert was not much better – suffice to say, we ordered and tasted them, but could not eat them. The staff’s approach was unfriendly and unwelcoming. For sure, it’s a place we will never go back to and will not recommend anyone to try. The place could do with new management and a new chef. We would have given zero stars if we could.

Fantastic stay, really clean and comfortable room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Meals in the restaurant were delicious and good quality. The breakfast set you up for the day. Location was superb very quiet, with no disturbance from other rooms.
