Pros:

Lovely place, great food, good location. Team seem really motivated and really helpful.

Cons:

I had problem with our room door, key stuck in lock. We were over the kitchen and the chef liked music whilst they worked. Both at night and breakfast time. It was loud and we could hear it clearly. Thankfully it stopped by 10.30, might have been an issue if we had kids but I suppose we should have let them know x

A friendly hotel and a relaxing stay which was pleasant rather then excellent.
Pros:

Friendliness of the staff. Ambience in the bar area. High quality breakfast.

Cons:

The aroma of the smell of seafood on entering the hotel was overpowering! Our room was spacious but basic, not to the standard we expected from the photos we had looked at from the website. The shower in our room was limited in power and the water cut off completely while using it! The mattress was of budget quality and not very comfortable.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, especially the breakfast, and found lots to do in the immediate
Pros:

Great hotel very close to Hadrian's wall with very friendly staff. Breakfast was fantastic with quality bacon and sausages. Lots of hot water, and the room was very warm. We enjoyed our stay here. We recommend the stargazing at Twice Brewed.

Cons:

The family room is directly above the bar, so expect some noise until 11pm and from the cleaner vacuuming in the morning. The double mattress could ideally have been better quality.

Overpriced
Pros:

Stayed for a family celebration meal at the hotel. The staff were very good. In the evening I had a burger that was nice. The room was a good size. The bath towels were very good.

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable so had a poor nights sleep. The small en suite smelt slightly of damp. The extractor fan did not appear to work. At £118 for a night I expected better. The celebration lunch was paid for by another family member. The meal was pre ordered several days in advance. The very thin slice of beef was stringy and not easy to cut.

Pros:

An exceptional stay near Hadrian's Wall

Our stay at the Greenhead Hotel was nothing short of excellent. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth and attentiveness by every single member of staff. The hotel has a relaxed and homely atmosphere that makes you feel immediately welcome.

The culinary experience was a true highlight. The restaurant offers a menu with a modern, high-quality twist, using the finest locally sourced ingredients. The presentation was very good.

The room was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. Each of the newly refurbished. The attention to detail was evident, cut glass specialty coffee and local chocolates as complimentary extras. The comfortable bed and well-appointed, modern decor ensured a great night's sleep.

For anyone exploring Hadrian's Wall or the surrounding Northumbrian countryside, the location of the Greenhead Hotel is perfect. It's an ideal base for walkers and cyclists, with easy access to major Roman sites like Vindolanda and Housesteads, as well as the Hadrian's Wall Path itself.

This is a truly first-class establishment.

Even the EV charger worked !
