Lovely night away

The first room we checked into was next to an internal door which kept being slammed by noisy guests. We were moved to another room by a lovely and helpful member of staff without any hesitation. The second room was an upgrade from the first one and was in a much quieter part of the hotel so we are very appreciative of that. The staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating.the location is perfect next to the river and the outdoor space was great (was a lively still and sunny day). Breakfast was plentiful, hot and delicious.

Worst hotel I’ve stayed at in years!! Dirty room with outdated plugs. Staying during a heat wave but the radiator was broken on, so the room was completely un-livable. Staff was rude. Location not actually that great since there is no Hadrian’s wall anywhere near the hotel. Completely outdated property.

Great service and location for Hadrians Wall

My wife and I stayed for one night whilst walking the wall, for which this is in an ideal location. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful with Lettie in particular standing out by helping with specific dietary requirements. The hotel is situated in a lovely spot by the bridge over the River North Tyne. We had a tasty and good sized breakfast the following morning to set us underway for the day's hike. The photo was the view from our room.

We thought there swimming leisure facilities. Didn't realise dogs were allowed in rooms heard them in the morning a few rooms up frightened when passed them in the corridor.Breakfast was excellent, but the main fish was on the small size for evening meal. Garden and bridge location was lovely.

Positive: - The hotel is at a beautiful location, next to a small river and directly on the Hadrian‘s Wall path. - The hotel is dog-friendly (when you are a dog lover), so be aware when you have pet-allergies. - It is very dependent which staff member you are dealing with, some are friendly with a great customer orientation, some have an attitude….. Negative: - the bathroom sink was full with water: plug was stuck. Reported this at the reception so in the evening we discovered the room was skipped for cleaning and the water still there. - staff leaves the masterkeys at the outside of the (closed) door of the room they are working in, so don‘t leave any valuables in your room when you are out. - The hotel is dog-friendly (when you are not a dog lover)

Our room was lovely and had modern conveniences, but it was quite an adventure getting there. Why would a floor have rooms numbered in the 100s and in the 300? And so many fire doors and short ups and downs. On the plus side, the breakfast buffet had the largest selection we have seen, with plenty of fresh fruit and lovely pastries in addition to everything you might wish in a full English breakfast. And the grounds were lovely.
