Good base for starting the Hadrians Wall Walk. Very friendly and helpful host.

The host was very friendly and helpful. I chose this hotel because it is close to the start of Hadrians Wall Walk. There are restaurants and a big supermarket nearby.

Pros:

Great host - he really made us feel welcome. Sparkling Geordie repartee! The decor and vibe is very quirky. Fabulous cooked breakfast included. Surprisingly quite location. Would stay again.

Room was a little small but it was fine for only one night. We were offered a bigger room but with less powerful shower.

Fantastic!
Pros:

Stan the owner of this place was the most welcoming host I’ve ever come across he allowed us to leave our bags in our room before check in whilst we attended a festival, the rooms lovely and clean , bed was so comfortable , perhaps could of done with a fan as it was a quite a small space , but still 10/10 , we’ll be back next year for sure and hopefully wake up in time for breakfast 🤣

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike
