The Lindisfarne Inn

We stayed here with our friends for 2 nights on the winter break, 2 nights b&b and 2 course eveining meal at a cost of £204 per couple excellent value. Weve stayed at 4 different inn collection hotels this has to be the friendlist staff. Many thanks to mikey, who checked us in and looked after us the first night with emma, donna and faith the second night. Donna deserves a medal for overseeing breakfast alone on our last day as the hotel was full. Thanks to alan the maintainance man for showing me how to turn the heating down in the room, and making sure my husband was ok going back to our room on crutches. The food was delicious and hot. Breakfast on the first morning was huge so i asked for a smaller one 2nd morning. I would definately recommend this hotel. The only negative comment i could make its advertised as disabled access there was a metal stair case from bar then 2 steps on the way to our room my husband managed ok but it would have been worrying if icey. There is a ramp from otherside of bar then across the carpark but to long a walk for him. Our accessable was lovely but the furtherest away from the pub.

I stopped for a quick 45min break tonight and went in for some tea. As always i was greeted with a very warm welcome. Great service by Emma A, Donna and Alan who were all working and fixed me up with a lovely hot meal and soft drink to keep me going on my journey back to Yorkshire from Perth. They also helped with a query quickly and efficiently about booking a Christmas staycation with them again after staying here a few years ago. Nothing is ever a problem or issue for these guys!! Highly recommend this inn for both food and stopovers!! Id live there if I could 🤣❤️

We came for Sunday Lunch and wow, it was delicious. I had roast beef and a side of cauliflower cheese. It was hands down, the best cauliflower cheese I've ever had. I had to ask for the recipe and thankfully the chef Amrish gave it me. The service was perfect and inside the restaurant very nicely decorated. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon. We will be back. P.s the cookie dough pudding is a must

This is our second visit to this hotel, we went on the 23rd December this year and last year. Very friendly welcome from Donna. She recommended we download the app for some freebies. We had a nice meal there, it was fairly quiet, chatted to Faith as we ordered our meal. I had the pate and my husband the croquettes, both very tasty, then my husband the pie, and I had the monkfish, we ordered a side dish of creamed leeks, again all very tasty. Too full for a dessert. The rooms are at the back of the hotel. Comfy bed at night, I could still hear the traffic on the road, which disturbed my sleep a little. Nice breakfast in the morning, filter coffee, fruit and yoghurt, cereals and a cooked breakfast. Great value for money, we'll be back next year Donna!

Would recommend! Friendly welcome with nice atmosphere. Massive bed, good housekeeping, good shower pressure, only 1 slight issue drinks on expensive side £5.90 for two blackcurrant & sodas. Nice breakfast and easy to navigate. We had a meal in bar one night with starter which was average. Staff so friendly which makes a massive difference, nothing was a bother. We dont have a dog but this place is super dog friendly and nice to see. Easy free car park but can get busy. All in all would i stay again? Absolutely. Keep up the great work

Visted the Inn on 17th Jan 2026 on way back from the island. My partner had fish and chips which came with curry and peas. This was fairly good (6/10). I had Cumberland sausage with mash and vegatable(s) . The sausage was great but the mash may have came out of a packet and the vegatable(s) comprised a double helping of cabbage (4/10). Staff were very friendly, decor was great but there is deffinetly an opportunity to improve on the simple things, particuarly given the cost.

We booked to go to the Lindisfarne inn for New Year's Eve 2025. The New Year's Eve package plus an extra day suited us best and was very reasonably priced. We arrived and were made to feel very welcome, from the minute we walked through the door. Food and accommodation were exceptional. Staff are professional and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble to them. Donna, Ameila and Faith did an amazing job of looking after all the guest at the New Year's Eve event. The rest of the staff were equally brilliant but I didnt get their names. Im sure we will certainly be back again for New year and also a couple of short stays. Well done Lindisfarne you are all amazing.

Just got back from a lovely evening from the lindisfarne inn, it was absolutely fantastic. The food, drinks and staff were all outstanding. So friendly and accommodating couldn't have done more to help. A special mention to Donna, Emma A, Robyn and Paul who were all working tonight but the whole team iam sure are just as amazing.

We were making the long (6 hours or so) drive from home to Edinburgh for a few days. We were starting to feel hungry, probably still two hours drive to go and luckily passed this nice looking pub by the side of the road. Not exactly in the middle of nowhere but fairly remote. Found somewhere to pull over and turn around after5 minutes drive. Called to make sure that the kitchen was still open (mid afternoon) and headed back. The staff were young an friendly, service was good and my creamy fish pie and a glass of cider were tasty and satisfying. It was now late afternoon (about 4-4:30) and I had seen a road sign for a castle - so I looked on Google and discovered that we were just minutes from Holy Island: https://www.lindisfarne.org.uk/ Couldn't resist - so off we drove, pretty landscape and beautiful views once we had crossed the busy train track. Then we got the crossing to the island and realized for the first time that access was determined by the tides and the tide was clearly coming in. Stopped for a quick chat with two photographers getting ready to take pics and ascertained that we had better be back in 15 minutes or we could get trapped - so off we went, quick visit of the beautiful island, took a few pics (of course we couldn't stop for long) and crossed back within about 20 minutes - we likely had another 10-15 minutes to be honest before we would have been cut off - but Edinburgh awaited us :) Three thumbs up Definitely visit bot the pub and the island but check tidal times before deciding which to do first!

Have been for a meal here several times, and have never been disappointed. Imaginative food, great service, and reasonable prices too

We visited this pub for lunch after leaving Holy Island. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was prompt. I had scampi which was nice but the chips were clearly frozen and a bit dry. My partner had shoulder of lamb which was very good with nice fresh veg. Kids meals also seemed OK - usual selection. Didn't try puddings but they looked good.

The inn is alright on the bedding side, but the staff is not very helpfull. The waitress did not break a smile for the 4 days spent there ( nor at breakfast or dinner) and the food is desperately pub stiyle. Fine is you enjoy a fish and chip the size of a shoe box but impossible to get something not deep fried. Even when ask for substitution the green come as decoration ( one leaf of uncooked call to replace the rice really?) and do not dare to ask for yogurt in the morning without passing for a snob.
