Good basic hotel for the price
Pros:

Room was lovely and clean nothing to much for the staff. Extra heater was provided.

Cons:

Pillows could do with update and would have loved a cooked breakfast and Internet buffering a lot so watching tv was a bit hit and miss.

Quiet, clean, reasonably priced accommodation.
Pros:

Easy to find. Great location.
Chris was very helpful.
Breakfast was self service… continental style and perfectly adequate.

Cons:

The accommodation was clean. The bed had lovely bedding but was a bit squishy, but as it was so peaceful we still slept well.

Cosy place run by very friendly and helpful staff, with excellent value for money.
Pros:

Lovely, cosy hotel in a great location to explore the Hadrian's Wall path. The value for money was excellent. Customer service was exceptional. If you are looking for somewhere to stay while you explore the area, or (like us) you were travelling through, look no further!

Cons:

Nothing!

Great historic site
Pros:

Warm friendly atmosphere and welcome. History of the emperors very interesting. Loved the mural about the village.

Cons:

TV didn't work in spite of using the code. Towels were a bit skimpy and hand towels would have been appreciated, also a bath mat.
