Eat and Sleep Lindisfarne

Berwick-upon-Tweed

This score is not indicative of the quality of the accommodation - I have meant to tell others of my experience. I had booked at the bunkhouse a month prior on the phone and no payment was taken.
We had been walking all day on St Cuthbert’s way and arrived before 6pm on Sunday. The doors were locked with no sign of guests or staff; the cafe was not open. There was a note on the door with two phone numbers to call after hours. One number did not work. The other number went to voicemail and we left two messages from two different phones. When we called again, the phone rang and then was disconnected ringing. We were very tired and cold so after twenty minutes we went to the hotel next door to warm up. We thought it most sensible to get a hotel room as one was luckily available. An hour later, we heard from the bunkhouse and were told it was open and we could go over. I told the person on the phone we had decided to stay at the hotel. I commented that I felt it was poor service that there was no one on the end of the phone when we had tried, and he hung up on me.
The bunkhouse itself looks like it does in the pictures - my tip would be to ensure it will be open when you need it. We were lucky to be able to afford a hotel that night.

Did not stay; not able to gain entry when we arrived

I stopped at the services to use the toilet and they were out of order. I was really quite desperate so I thought I would try the cafe behind. I walked to the counter and asked if I was able to use the toilet. I was told no and that toilets are for paying customers only otherwise people would be using it all day. I was then told if I wanted to buy something I could use the toilet but I explained that I had left everything in the car so had nothing on me to pay. In this situation being polite got me nowhere and I went back to the car and cried as the whole interaction just felt cold and mean.
We ended up driving on and had to stop again which is annoying when you have a 4 hour drive to get through.
I would suggest adding a charge to the toilets, as had I been told there was a fee I would’ve gone and found the money to go in; but this encounter left me feeling a bit down and frustrated after my polite approach.

Don’t ask to use the toilet!

Stopped with my disabled daughter to get a coffee and juice to takeaway for the drive and use the toilets, got told by a man serving that toilets weren’t public toilets and only customers sitting in could use them. Found it strange since he wouldn’t let a paying customer use the toilets because we weren’t sitting in. Wouldn’t go back 

Wont go back

We stopped here on the way to Lindisfarne and had breakfast before it was safe to cross the causeway.
Beautiful breakfast delivered quickly and at a decent price. Friendly service topped it off. 
A very nice cafe serving very good breakfast. 
Would recommend.

Great breakfast

We stayed overnight in our Motorhome, following a day on Holy Island. The site was excellent and very quiet even though near to A1 road. The breakfast was faultless, all freshly cooked. Would definitely stay here when up this way again

Excellent stopover and breakfast 

We stopped off for breakfast and couldn’t have been more impressed. We had a sausage sandwich, a full English and drinks which only cost £11! The service was super quick and the food was still amazing! The staff were also very friendly. We don’t have a bad word to say!

Breakfast was AMAZING

Perfect overnight stop over for motorhome with added bonus of superb breakfast,  lovely host and everything so clean. Excellent coffee too.
The parking was incredibly quiet despite the A1 and views towards Lindisfarne incredible. Its perfect for visiting the area.

Excellent stopover

Called in 30/8 for breakfast on our journey north, we'd were actually heading to Mcds at Berwick but as we drove up remembered we'd had good food here last year, so glad we stopped. I ordered the big breakfast and it was superb bacon sausage hash brown toast egg beans Black pudding and mushrooms all well cooked and very tasty. Good value for money.

Cracking breakfast

We stopped for petrol at the service station and spotted this cafe next door. So pleased we went in. The coffee was the best we had all holiday and the staff were super friendly and helpful! Thank you! 

Fantastic coffee

Wonderful stay at this hostel, very clean and comfortable and great food. Outside area delightful with table and chairs looking out over Lindisfarne, Holy Island and a nice conservatory dining area with a dvd player and sofa. Kitchen equipt with microwaves, fridge and all cuttlery, crockery and utensils. 
The cooked breakfast was great and Shaun, yhe owner was so welcoming and friendly. Had s lovely, lovely time and will definitely return. Highly recommended.
