Nice stay.
It was a nice stay and the room was comfortable, however, the bathroom smelled musty. Also, there’s nowhere to put wash bags in the bathroom so a shelf would be handy. Parking was included with my booking and there were plenty of spaces available.

Great hotel with marvellous staff. I was upgraded when i checked in and the room i was given was fantastic. It was a pity i was only in the hotel for one night and did not get the full advantage of my upgrade. I also had free parking, however overnight parking is normally charged by the hotel at £10.00 per night which i thought was quite expensive!

Lovely friendly staff, we were made to feel very welcome. Food was very good, lots of choice and generous portions. Loved the decor, quite quirky, lots to look at. Had a really good singer on the Friday night so good atmosphere. Bedroom was great, spacious and well designed. Lovely sleep! Would recommend.

The staff were all nice so no complaints there. The room was ok but its clearly needing some investment and cleaning. The bathroom had lots of mould and shower head was so bad we all refused to use it. I manage a facility with showers and there are requirements to prevent legionella that are clearly not being followed. There was also an emergency light with a green led so bright it kept the room illuminated the whole night. Never seen this anywhere else but it kept us up and prevented our 1 year old sleeping.

The details said parking available. But it cost £10.00 which was not on the details at the beginning. if it is NOT FREE parking it should say PAID PARKING. Then the customer would scroll down to find out how much.

Nothing around the pub/hotel that you can walk to, it’s basically in the middle of a residential area. The rooms are in a block in the car park at the back of the pub so it can be somewhat noisy. Bathrooms are old and in need of refurbishment and there were some stains on the walls and carpets. On the plus side, the beds are huge and comfy and the pub staff were friendly and welcoming. It’s cheap and cheerful!

We lived in Ashington for 50 years before moving away and have used the Portland hotel when returning to visit family and friends. In those 50 years we have never had to pay for parking anywhere in Ashington and the whole town is still free parking. The Portland has now decided to fleece customers by charging £10 for overnight parking In the hotel car park while there is ample free parking all over town. The bar closes at 10pm or earlier if it is quiet even for residents and their guests so making arrangements for meeting with friends is difficult.
