The hotel was very nice you can tell it has just been refurbished. My only small criticism would be the breakfast (not the price which is very reasonable) just the quality of the sausage.

Disappointing stay
Allison was very friendly and helpful. The common areas were clean and well presented but our room was disappointing. It was a small room with tired decor. The bathroom was very small with a noisy macerator toilet and a poor shower. The bed was comfortable though.

Bad smell in the bathroom which I told the owner about. Poor response, I will never stay here again- sorry but I was trying to help them by explaining. Just disregarded. Apparently the hubby is an expert in all things microbiological. I’d left the fan on for hours and the smell did not go. Had a sore throat the next day.

Stay in another b and b
Dissappinted. Chose this place from the reviews, which seem to overexagerate significantly. There has been a recent change of ownership ....perhaps reviews have assisted.???? Actually in a village called Spittal, not Berwick. No local facilities or amenities. Local publican kindly allowed us to order a take away and have it delivered to eat in his pub. Proprietors live off site, up to guests to lock up front and back doors. Feels like a bedsit not a b and b. Host was cheerful and pleasant but rushed away after we arrived. Breakfast adequate and what would usually be provided. Some unusual reviews on reflection.

Lovely Roxburgh Hotel
We had a very pleasant stay at the Roxburgh, very nice,helpful staff and management : couldn't do enough make our stay enjoyable. Sea view over Spittal beach from our room was a delight. Breakfast was a full English with extras. This is a great place to stay to explore Northumberland, and Edinburgh :Lindisfarne, Bamburgh Castle etc. It was worth traveling the 680miles to visit and stay at the Roxburgh

Relaxation
Going to start by saying that the owners have just taken on a new adventure and good luck to them too. They where very friendly and gave lots of advice. Breakfast was spot on too. Rooms nice and clean bathroom clean not bad showers. The view was just right for us too, sea view and relaxing too it was. About 30 min walk into town but again on the coast and relaxing. Looking forward to going back and seeing what changes they have made.

Lovely stay!
Room was spacious with a lovely sea view. Bed was comfy and room well equiped. Breakfast was very nice with cereals, cooked breakfast, toast tea/ coffee and orange juice and fruit all on offer. Breakfast is between 8-9am. Situated right on Spittal beach which is a nice walk and not too far to walk into Berwick town ( about 25mins)

Myself and my family stayed at The Roxburgh for 4 nights. The room was large, clean and comfortable. The hosts were fantastic and friendly. The cooked breakfast was very nice and set us up for the day! I would not hesitate to recommend The Roxburgh to anyone visiting Northumberland.

Spittal Beach
Friendly Hosts, Really clean and comfortable bg bed. Breakfast good, LOTS of tea, coffee etc. For me the room was a bit old fashioned and could di with updating. furniture mismatched and fake plants are a no no from me. Would i stay here again ? in a heartbeat and the view of the sea from my window was just GREAT i want to move in and see that view every day 😀😀😀. Couldn't get friendlier people.

Roxburgh - restful and rewarding
The Roxburgh was a great place to spend a few days. We had a friendly greeting, good size room with amenities and really good fresh breakfast each day. It’s a gem of a place and I’d recommend it to couples and families.

Comfortable and friendly guest house
Although the decor is a little dated it is in good condition and the room we stayed in was clean and comfortable and contained everything we needed. We were made to feel welcome the minute we stepped through the door, the hosts are warm and friendly and do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. Breakfast is excellent, freshly cooked to order, good quality and good portions. Location is decent, 5 mins drive from Berwick for restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Lovely stay.
1 night stay, our room had a front line sea view, the weather when we arrived was stormy so the sea was rough but fantastic to watch, the next morning was sunny and calm also great to see. Room was a good size, big bed plenty of sanitiser etc, we had our own bathroom across the hall which was large and clean, shower was OK could do with an upgrade. Walked in Berwick which took about 35/40 minutes. Owners very friendly, breakfast very good.
