A gorgeous hotel in a lovely location. We used it as stopping point on the coastal path. The restaurant food wasn’t amazing but we were glad of a big meal anyway.

The staff were very friendly if a little sparce. We had lamb shank. The peas, mash and gravy were wonderful but the lamb was very tough. Rather expensive too

Booked in for lunch this past weekend and both days staff were very friendly and competent Food is tasty and plentiful, freshly prepared and delicious Hotel is set in extensive grounds situated in the lovely setting of the Heddon valley with it’s own gardens and seating to sit and relax. My favourite place to return again and again. Plus the resident peacock in the grounds

The vegan chilli was the worst meal I have ever eaten in the UK. I once had a plain chicken breast, it had more flavour. To the chef: The spice level was over the top, and vegetables were soggy. I’m questioning if you tried it? Is the level of spice to compensate the lack of flavour? The beef wasn’t much better, but at least the spice was balanced. The service was good! Thanks, Will be back next week!

We have finally found the greatest pub in the world ! The new landlord and his team couldn’t have been more welcoming , helpful and friendly. The pub is gorgeous in a fabulous area and the food and drink were superb too. We will be back soon. Thank you

As a group of 6 walkers along the south-west coast path, we had planned our stop at the Hunter's Inn to arrive at lunch-time. Their website advised they were open from 9.30am. Upon arrival, the proprietors/staff (take your pick) were to be found basking in the sun on one of their benches, drinking pints of beer and tucking into their lunches. They proudly proclaimed to be "testing" the beer, telling us they would not be open until 5pm, turning us away (we were just one group of many to experience this). We subsequently found that there was an NT cafe a few hundred feet away... perhaps a little guidance to this would effect would have been helpful, but not a jot. Won't be back; you don't deserve to be in business.

Lovely place .stunning views and friendly staff with good service. However the food menu for an evening meal was a big let down .. OK if you wanted a pizza or a burger ..shame no steaks or meat dishes (apart from 1x chicken)..left dissatisfied

Me and 4 of my fluffy pals (along with a group of people) visited for the weekend to celebrate one of our favourite human's birthdays. I was quite rightly treated like a queen throughout my stay. We particularly enjoyed the live peacock entertainment and thanks for all the bar treats - these were a delicious added bone-us. Wagging tails for all. I award the Hunter's Inn a coveted 5 paws!

Hotel is in a lovely location, right at the end of very narrow single track roads amongst the woods with the coast within walking distance. Hunters Inn was built over 100 years ago and it has much "old world" charm about it. Staff were great and very helpful. We were also able to take our Springer Spaniel with us. No gym but the best gym is the outside gym walking to Hendons Mouth or onto the cliff path! As above, the hotel is approached via single track roads. If travelling by car, be ready to stop, reverse and use one of the passing places.
