This was the 3rd Ibis and final hotel that was booked for my Contiki tour. The Ibis rooms are…read moreidentical so I won't go into that. This one also had the exact same layout as the other two. Same large soap bottle that is used as shampoo, body wash, and hand soap. There were also 2 large bath towels, no smaller hand or face towels provided. There is a hair dryer provided in each room as well as a pants press. A pants press is a giant board used to press pants. It'd be easier to provide an iron folks. Really. The elevator had this really cool looking touch pad which was different from what we were used to. It also was a bit dodgy when it came to punching in a floor number. The breakfast was standard English breakfast with additional yogurt, fruit, and granola snacks. For a decent night's stay, you really can't go wrong with an Ibis. It's not luxurious by any means but the beds are comfortable. The rooms are clean and is centrally located to most of the sights and restaurants. Most importantly, free WiFi.

The hotel is on a very busy road with lots of pubs and Sunday night was horrendously busy with bank Holiday revellers. Not a major problem but the hotel was quite noisy, double glazing cuts down on the street noise but doesn't eliminate it. Monday night was lovely and quiet by contrast. Overall the staff were very friendly and the hotel is within easy walking distance of the shops, castle etc. Good value for money - but watch out on weekends if you're not partying!

This was one of the better B&Bs we stayed at while walking Hadrian's Wall in August 2011. The…read moreowners were extremely polite and accommodating, and their hospitality was most appreciated. They even so far as to find an ice pack for my swollen ankle! We stayed in a first floor room in the adjoining building (not the main house) that had just recently been remodeled. The room was plainly decorated, but the bed was comfortable and the room was a decent size. My chief complaint about the room was the temperature - it was quite chilly! The bathroom in particular, with a window leading to the outside and tile floors, was a bit frigid. We asked the owners to turn up the heat, but were told that the system was automatic. We had been told that we could have dinner on the property, as there are so few places to eat in Lanercost, however, when we phoned the owner 24 hours in advance to request the meal, we were told that on Fridays he simply sent guests to the Lanercost Priory tea room down the street. We decided to drive to nearby Brampton for dinner instead, although it was 20 minutes away. Breakfast at Abbey Bridge was pleasant and gave us enough fuel to tackle the next day's walking - adequate.

Another nice old stone building (actually 2 buildings), very close to Lanercost Priory, on a small…read morecountry road, and convenient for Hadrian Wall Path walkers. Rooms were reasonably priced. My room was a small en suite meant for a single, with a small but perfectly functional bathroom. The bed was comfortable. There was virtually no traffic outside at night, resulting in a great night's sleep. The shower enclosure was small, but the water was nice and hot. Breakfast, cooked by the host, is served at a variety of times. There are various choices for breakfast, and everything tasted great. Dinner is also available if arranged in advance, and served at 7. It is chef's choice. If you choose this option, going by my own experience, you will not be disappointed. If hiking the trail or touring the Abbey, this is a great choice for a night's rest.

A really nice hotel just over the border in Gretna, Scotland. We had our wedding there last month &…read morewere very pleased with the venue. Everything went very smoothly, as these people do weddings day in and day out! We opted for a package deal to cut down on planning hassle. It worked out very well - the hotel took care of all the details for us and made sure everything went smoothly. The gardens of the hotel are TO DIE FOR and absolutely gorgeous. Going up to Scotland to get married here was worth it just to have our pictures (and ceremony!) conducted outdoors in the beautiful hotel gardens. They are small but colourful and well-presented. I love the natural look, so it was just perfect. The food at our reception was equally delicious and first-rate. I had the best tomato soup I've ever had for our starter, and the portion of lamb was GIGANTIC - made it hard not to pop the seams of my wedding dress!! The only thing stopping this hotel from getting a 5 rating is some of the staff. No one was ever UNfriendly, but they could definitely work on being more forthcoming with information and more pleasant at the reception. Whenever I asked questions, the receptionist (not the same one either - all of them except one) always had the attitude that I was inconveniencing her greatly. Also, the rooms are a BIT outdated (though perfect comfortable with all mod cons - I just mean the decor) and the advertised spa bath was just a tiny bathtub with jets! However, there is a lovely pool & spa for guest use - 25m pool, large jacuzzi, steam room and sauna - very nice.
