Purdy Lodge

Purdy Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely little hotel at the side of the main road brilliantly situated for Bamburgh, Seahouses about 5/10 min drive. Holy island about 20/30 min drive. Lovely staff, very helpful. Excellent restaurant, food was lovely and fresh cooked. Has a cafe on the side but didn’t get a chance to use, but again looked a good menu. Breakfast was a full English and again a good size! Would definitely use again."
