Comfortable hotel,supernova
Pros:

During the summer months the area surrounding Chollerford where the George is located is a beacon to hikers. I had just come in from a fairly long and gruelling hike. The staff at the bar simply smiled,brought me over a great cup of tea, some nibbles which were not exactly on the menu,but were nourishment for a hungry hiker. This was topped off by the check in who when I asked if I could have a room with a bath to soak my weary bones made a real effort even though the hotel was full and offered me an upgrade to a large double room,plus bath plus seating area. North England hospitality and service at its best in a superb location next to the Tyne river.

Cons:

The self service part of the breakfast buffet perhaps requires a bit more attention even if it is only aesthetic.

Très bon emplacement, magnifique jardin
Pros:

Superbe cadre, avec un jardin qui donne directement sur la rivière et le pont. Quel plaisir de boire une bière au soleil en fin de journée.
Chambre confortable avec une jolie vue.
Très bon restaurant, très pratique de tout avoir sur place.
Très bon conseils offerts par le personnel à la réception (qui a l'habitude des randonneur sur le Hadrian Wall Path).

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner comportait une partie "à la carte", excellente, et une partie "buffet". La partie buffet a été un peu compliqué (le personnel semblait un peu débordé).

overall good.
Pros:

The George Hotel ligt pal op de Hadrianswall route. Wat ontzettend handig en fijn is als je die loopt, zoals wij deden. De glans van het hotel is er wel wat van af, maar het kan nog steeds wel door de beugel. "s Avonds eten in het bijhorende restaurant is een leuke ervaring. OOk hebben ze een lunchpakket service die ik zou aanraden als je de Hadrianswall route loopt van oost naar west. want er zijn weinig alternatieven op de route beschikbaar.

Cons:

Niet al het personeel had een goeie dag, zo leek het, en dat is soms wat minder prettig. Maar de kamer was prima. Eenvoudige inrichting, niet de beste waterstraal in de douch maar overall prima. alles was wel schoon.

Pros:

The man on reception on arrival was very friendly and helpful.
The garden's and outdoor area is relaxing and very pretty with the riverside aspect.
Our room had everything We needed for a comfortable night.

Cons:

Because the Hotel is situated on a roundabout the noise of some of the accelerating cars was really deafening for our dog..
There were also some really out of control children, kicking a football and climbing on the garden fixtures.

Would never stay again
Pros:

Breakfast was terrible. Nothing healthy apart from yogurt. Evening meal was dreadful. Could not eat my risotto and sent it back.
Communal areas dated and look dirty

Former glory
Pros:

The location is great - it has a lot of (unmet) potential.

Cons:

It needs a lot of love. They have an article framed about the French football team staying here in ‘96 and it looks like not a lot was done since then. Rooms feel outdated, wait times in the restaurant are very long (and staff pretty much ignores you), breakfast buffet runs out of pastries and other items at 8:00. Again: lot of potential but currently it does not live up to the claims (and price).
