The Lindisfarne Inn

This is a great pub and restaurant - a perfect stop over when travelling. Kat was the perfect host who simply couldn't do enough to help us - very welcoming, attentive and helpful. Mikey at the bar was also alert and very helpful. Amrish and Robyn in the kitchen produced high level, beautiful and very tasty dinners in a sharp and professional manner - thoroughly enjoyable. I encourage anyone to visit this Inn for the welcoming warm atmosphere and of course for the impressively good quality food.

Peaceful location, warm, friendly staff who seemed happy in their working environment.|The chalet style accommodation, separate from the main building, somehow seemed the most comforting and snug stop of our stay (walking, so a different accommodation each night).|Dinner was excellent, with lots of choices including not only a couple of fish dishes on the main menu, but also two other fresh fish choices on the specials. |We also tried the banoffee pie, delicious although it did have a side like a pie, not come across that before and it was a bit hard to cut through.|Breakfast was again delicious with plenty of choice including freshly cooked hot food. I enjoyed the Eggs Royale. |Thank you for a wonderful stay.

I just had an excellent meal with my family and our dogs. The food was absolutely top-notch; we loved everything from the steak to the fish and chips—everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The place is super dog-friendly, which made our visit even better. The staff were friendly and really knew their menu, making our experience enjoyable from start to finish. Honestly, I can't recommend this spot enough if you're in the area!

We are frequent visitors of the Inn Collection Hotels and the Lindisfarne Inn is one of our favourites. |I’m surprised by the negative reviews, especially of the food.| |Yes, the rooms may be slightly dated, but are immaculately clean with comfortable beds. ||The staff are so friendly and helpful, especially the lovely manager Donna. Special mention to Faith and Tilly, who were chatty and friendly. |We had dinner there 2 nights , and both evening meals were beautiful, hot and well presented. |Breakfast is always good and there is a wide choice available.|We have already booked again for January, and look forward to seeing Donna and her team again .|S &R and Henry the dog

My husband and I stayed one night at the Inn as we walked St Cuthbert’s Way. Nice room, cozy restaurant with great food but the standout feature of this Inn is an employee named Faith. She checked us in, walked us to our room, and waited on our table at dinner! She was warm and personable and she and her colleague Mikey were efficient and friendly with each table. The next morning Faith and Mikey served breakfast, cleared, and had the room set up for lunch quickly! My husband and I had to wait for the tide to go out to continue our walk and Faith was so kind in letting us sit in the comfortable bar and then she served us lunch before it was time to head back onto the trail. We thank her for her insights about crossing the sands on foot. She’s a treasure!

If I was rating on our overnight stay I would easily have given 5 stars. Our room - 7 - was modern, the bed was large, breakfast selection was great with filter coffee and a choice of cooked breakfasts. My eggs royale were excellent. They were welcoming to our dog.||However our evening meal was another matter. Staff were very friendly, but it does seem apparent that most of the menu has come pre prepared. Husbands venison sausage roll starter was a tiny slice for the price. My fish tasted like it was a frozen battered fillet cooked in the oven and the chips didn’t taste freshly fried. They also ran out of beer on tap at around 7pm and didn’t replace it, choosing instead to set up breakfast for the next morning.||It’s a real shame and would put us off using this chain in future

My room was very nice and clean. We ate dinner in the Inn and were served by Tilly. She was so very nice and accommodating to our group who were all paying separately. The food was very good. We are from the US so we’re not completely familiar with some of the food but it was all quite good. Tilly was very pleasant.

The food was amazing! Generous and top quality. The range on the menu was good too. They catered for our sons peanut allergy which was so appreciated. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Couldn't ask for more.

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.
