We stopped here last night (19/08/24) in our motorhome with our dog after visiting Holy Island. I met the owner Shaun, who was really helpful, showed me around & let me know where I could park. …

Popped in whilst travelling home from Scotland for a well deserved leg stretch and drink. Had a tea 🍵 and coffee ☕️ with a delicious apple pie 🥧.This was served by friendly and polite staff.This cafe is located behind the petrol station and could do with some better signage leading up to it.Apart from this it was great.

Sean is great and so is the cafe (good breakfast). However, if you stay at the bunkhouse just be aware that it’s very basic and bedding isn’t provided. 14 of us stayed so we had the whole place to ourselves but there was no sanitary bins (or any bins full stop), no sheets for the beds, no liners for the shared sleeping bags, the mattresses were very old, full of springs and very stained. Stayed in a lot of very basic accommodation but this one needs a little fore warning.

Campervan stay overnight which was free if we made a purchase in the cafe. Great level parking, perfect location, secure, hardly any noise from the A1, garage or pub. Toilet in the garage up until 10pm. Owner is a great guy, very welcoming and we had the full English breakfast this morning which was very good and he makes an excellent cuppa tea! 2 mins from Lindisfarne causeway. Top welcome and service! Thanks

I'm only reviewing the food as I was not staying at the hotel bit. The cafe bit has a carpark next to the side of the Esso service station. Staff were very helpful and pleasant people. Food here is your basic builders breakfast fry ups. That's not meant to be a complaint though I'm just saying what they have. It's not like one of those places you get some poncey goats cheese and rose petal falafel etc. Basic food and the view outside is really nice.

Americans here. Rented a car to drive from Edinburgh, Scotland to Newcastle, England to catch the ferry over to Amsterdam.We drove the beautiful coastal route along A1 and stopped for a snack at the petrol station. But then we saw this little cafe and decided to come eat here.So delightful!The owners were so kind. The food was fresh and delicious. The portions were huge and the prices were great for the amount of food served. It was clean, inviting, and very welcoming to foreigners. Even gave us come wonderful local history while we visited.Best road trip pit stop this American has ever made!

My friend (age 74) was due to stay and I dropped her off at 7:10 pm and whilst the owner was there he wouldn’t let her check in as it was after 7:00 as he was going home for his tea.  …

Didn't have a full price list and got charged £6 for a double espresso. Fair enough if that's your prices but advertise it or warn someone before you make them a £6 coffee.
