Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is set in a lovely location by the river, offering beautiful views and a delightful atmosphere. The rooms are clean, warm, and modern, although the walls are a bit thin. The service was excellent, with a caring team and thoughtful activities arranged for guests. The dining experience had some ups and downs, with a decent selection but inconsistencies in food quality. Overall, a pleasant stay with good value for money.
I stayed at the hotel and found it to have a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, perfect for Hadrians Wall walkers, and near places of Roman history, making it the highlight of my stay. However, the dining experience was a bit disorganized with some items not up to standard. The service was good overall, and the rooms were nice despite a mix-up in the initial assignment.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable, but some had damp patches on the ceiling despite recent painting. The service was fantastic with attentive housekeeping and helpful staff. The location was stunning, right by the river and Hadrian's Wall, but could use some updating. The dining experience was hit and miss, with tasty options but some issues with keeping the food warm. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, right on the Hadrian's Wall Path with beautiful views, but the rooms were a bit cold and needed attention from the staff. The service was good overall. The dining options were average, with some delays in restocking. The facilities were decent but could use improvement.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had an old charm to them with an old blanket and a small heater, but I found them surprisingly spacious and quiet, overlooking the tranquil grounds away from the busy road. Great value for money as I have already booked for next year!
The hotel overlooks the gardens, river, and bridge, basking in the late afternoon sun. The rooms are big, well-furnished, spotlessly clean, and feature a walk-in shower, offering a scenic view of the river. However, a car is necessary to reach any nearby amenities.
