George Hotel

Room required a bit TLC. Painting decorating etc. Think it would put a lot of people off. Bar, restaurant and reception areas were brilliant. Lovely real fires comfy and relaxing. What made the place though was the staff. Every one of them were so polite, helpful and friendly. Real Northumberland folk!!. Breakfast was a buffet and absolutely outstanding for £10. Full English, toast, cereal, tea coffee, fruit and also made porridge to order. Definitely stay again. 5 Walk on Hadrians Wall. Superb. Once again a massive thanks to all the lovely staff. Company should reward them all.

Look… It’s an old old building and an old hotel and that’s what I really love about staying at those kind of places. Charming and typical European. A bit Spartan, but that’s OK. The bed was so comfortable and the shower had great water pressure and nice and hot.

The location by the river is great and the garden is well kept. Some of the benches could do with a clean-up though. The staff on reception and evening restaurant staff were very pleasant, obviously the breakfast crew didn't get the 'be happy' email. Restaurant food was of a high standard but the buffet breakfast does leave a lot to be desired as it was running out a bit and the 'waiter' responsible didn't seem to care. 15 mins for eggs is a long wait like 👎 Rooms were comfortable, and the towels were nice n fluffy. Cheapo toilet paper 🧻 tho. All in all a good place to stay 👍

Staff were very kind and attentive. I accidentally hit my head in a branch hiking and needed to go to a doctor and the manager insisted on driving me all the way to Hexham for urgent care. It took a chunk of his time but he was concerned that I be able to get checked out and wanted to make my life easy, even though I could have taken a cab. In addition the staff at reception were very kind helping when I arrived bleeding and making sure I got the attention needed. All the staff at all times, including the restaurant and pub, were friendly and nice. And the location on the banks of the River Tyne with a lovely green overlooking it was excellent.

This is a beautiful hotel in a simply wonderful location. I found all the staff to be friendly and helpful. The reception and dining areas of the hotel are very appealing. My room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the shower warm. There was even tea and biscuits provided in the room - thanks!! I had two excellent evening meals in the restaurant. Breakfast - cereals, yoghurt, croissants and a full English cooked breakfast - was plentiful and very tasty. A perfect stop when hiking Hadrian's Wall. As a brief aside, I needed to catch the bus to Housesteads one morning - the bus stop is just opposite the hotel entrance and the receptionist was able to help me out with the bus timetable.
