Summary of reviewsWaterford Lodge Hotel, centrally located in the heart of Morpeth, is highly praised for its convenient position. Guests commend its proximity to amenities, shops and restaurants, as well as the easily accessible train station, Carlyle Park and local pubs. The excellent location, complemented by friendly and efficient staff, clean spacious accommodations and on-site parking, creates a widely recommended experience for visitors.
The hotel's breakfast garners positive feedback for its variety, quality and value. Guests appreciate the traditional full English breakfast and other cooked-to-order items, praising the quality ingredients and ample portions. Service is generally commended, although the timing and food temperature receive mixed feedback. Dinner also receives favorable reviews, highlighted by excellent pub grub and a helpful young staff. However, the restaurant's early closing hours are a minor inconvenience.
Cleanliness is another notable strength with many guests finding the rooms, bedding and towels spotless. Despite the appreciation for cleanliness, there is a consistent demand for refurbishment due to dated décor and maintenance issues like peeling wallpaper and weak water pressure in showers. Some rooms are noted as cold and musty with inadequate soundproofing.
The staff at Waterford Lodge Hotel consistently earn high marks for their politeness, friendliness and helpfulness, significantly enhancing the guest experience from check-in to checkout. Despite occasional mentions of staff-related noise and inexperienced bar personnel, the majority of reviews emphasize the exceptional service provided.
While the hotel's WiFi service is a significant drawback, especially in the rooms, it does not overshadow the generally positive guest experiences. The comfortable and clean beds also contribute to a good night’s sleep, though some guests find the mattresses too soft or outdated.
The hotel offers good value for money with acceptable accommodations for short stays at a low cost. The historical 18th-century coaching house charm adds to its character, although the dated décor and need for refurbishment are noted. Overall, Waterford Lodge Hotel provides a charming, value-for-money stay for those who appreciate its historical charm and central location, while also being accommodating of its areas for improvement.
