"Awful - Would not stay here again"

I stayed here on a Saturday night with my partner while we were attending an event in the area. The building looks alright from the car park and faces a nice lake and country park (this is the only positive thing I have to say about the stay). Our room was on the ground floor, at the back of the building. We found out that this part of the building is the ‘old building’, and the majority of the rooms are in the newer built section which, unlike our room, was purpose built as a Premier Inn. Ours had more of a cheap, roadside motel feel. Our room was opposite the door to the adjoining bar/restaurant (more on this atrocity later). When we walked into the room the first thing that hit us was the smell - foisty. Think old soggy biscuits that’ve sat in a sink going off for weeks. The room was very dim, facing the loading area at the back of the hotel, a path and the main road. We had to close the curtains as anyone walking or driving past could see straight into the room. Aside from the actual curtains there was only a very flimsy thin white window covering which didn’t give much privacy. I’ve stayed in a lot of Premier Inn’s over the years, and yes most of the rooms and the furniture look identical and are pretty interchangeable. The furnishings in this room looked like they’d come from the Premier Inn furniture graveyard. The pillows were flat, the sofa bed (in sofa form) was threadbare, dirty looking and thank goodness no one had to sleep on it because the springs seemed like they were ready burst out. The room was freezing. It had a temperature control setting, but this barely worked. The room took hours to heat up slightly. The bed was comfortable and the duvet was warm, thankfully. Bathroom was spacious but again looked very dated, and not particularly clean. Didn’t attempt a shower because the bath looked gross and the plug hole was full of black gunk which was very off putting. We went to the restaurant for dinner. Ordered food at about 6pm. The restaurant was very busy, with locals as well as hotel guests. We expected a bit of a wait for food since there were a lot of other customers in the restaurant. By 6.50 the food still hasn’t arrived so my partner spoke to someone at the bar to ask how long it would be for the food to arrive. He was told that although he had paid for the meal when he ordered, and despite them using a digital ordering system, the order had not been sent to the kitchen and therefore the food hadn’t been made. The kitchen offered to make the food then, but as we were due to leave for an event and were skeptical with how long they would take to make the food, we received a refund instead. Since our room was opposite the bar/restaurant, we could hear a lot of noise coming from it. We were particularly disturbed by a group of rowdy Scots until about midnight (not sure if they were still in the bar by this point, in a nearby room or roaming the hallways), but didn’t hear them after midnight ish. Tried to speak to someone on the front desk about it in the morning but there wasn’t anyone manning it.

"Not so Premier Inn"

I stayed at this Premier Inn in February 2020 for one night and although the staff were friendly and helpful - the attention to detail is lacking here. I paid £73.00 which doesn't represent good value for money, (in my opinion). The room itself was comfortable whilst the Wi-fi worked as advertised. The towels in my room were very thin and not really fit for purpose. The breakfast in the morning was a disappointment. The cooked food was good but there were no signs telling me that I had to order it. I applaud the lessening of food-waste that cooking to order brings but this wasn't communicated properly, indeed there was no-one to greet guests at breakfast who could have passed this information on. Although the breakfast is classed as 'unlimited' there was no suggestion that one could have ordered more.

"Great location "

Visited in half term with our 2 children. Great location for visiting Northumberland coast. Room was clean, one of the better premier inns we have stayed in. Restaurant very good, meal deal is great value. Enjoyed our stay, we will definitely be visiting again.

"Passing through stop off"

Friendly staff, clean room, great stay until the fire alarm went off at 8am. The pub next door was ok, food was fine but service was a bit slow. The location is nice as its surrounded by country side and a lovely lake, on a warm day it must be lovely to walk around.

Hotel description Your gateway to the great outdoors, Premier Inn Hotel Ashington is just a stone's throw from the Coastal Route, top-notch beaches, and gorgeous gardens. And, as the last Premier Inn before Scotland, it's a beautiful spot to break up a long journey. Spark your imagination at the epic Alnwick Castle. Follow in the footsteps of pilgrims to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Or delve into history at the Woodhorn Colliery Museum. After a day's work or play, return to our country park setting, lakeside views, Cookhouse and Pub restaurant and extra-comfy beds.
