This was a delightful surprise. The building is old but delightful, the room was quite large and comfy, the bath was equally large and enjoyable. Two chairs, two nightstands and a desk receive extra smiles and points. The downstairs dining room had a full bar and excellent food. The staff are as nice and as friendly as can be. Again, we were the only Americans. read more

Hadrian Hotel - Hotels Near Me

I stayed two nights in this hotel and had two dinners there. The bedroom was very clean, and comfortable, with an excellent bathroom. The Wi-Fi offered good signal strength in all areas and worked very well. Bedrooms were refurbished in 2018, I was told. During my stay the kitchen was being refurbished and the menu was limited but all the same the food was very good. The staff were very obliging and helpful and nothing was too much trouble, arranging taxis, variations on the menu, luggage storage and offering local knowledge. Meals are served in the bar, there isn't a separate restaurant. The bar has a real fire in winter and is a normal pub bar with a pool table in part of the bar that seems to be mainly used by locals. Breakfast was very good although no fruit was provided. The location is 3-4 miles north of Hexham. The bus service is infrequent but reliable, from very close to the hotel to Hexham station and town centre. Taxis are quite expensive, but I found the hotel charges here to be much more reasonable than in Hexham, so there was a saving to be had by staying out of town. A new management is evidently working very hard on the kitchen and other improvements. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

See all

This is a small old hotel, built of stone, as are most of the other buildings in this village. Floors are a little bit uneven, as one might expect in an old structure. The room I was in was a nice size, with 2 single beds. Unfortunately, the beds were somewhat lumpy and not very comfortable. The hotel is within a few feet of the road, and there's quite a bit of traffic considering the size and location of the village. Try to arrange for a room at the back, or bring earplugs. Although not listed on their website, wifi is available. There's a good pub downstairs with a small assortment of beer on tap. As can be expected, this is the de facto hangout for the village. There's a large assortment of menu items, and even more listed as specials on a board. I chose roast leg of lamb, which was quite delicious. It came with a large complements of side dishes: stuffing, a large roasted potato, beans, lots of boiled vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and red cabbage), and a hollowed out roll filled with brown gravy, so one could dunk or pour as you prefer. The quality of the lamb was excellent; that of the rest was average. On the whole, I would say this was reasonably priced. My meal came to 9 pounds (about $14), beverages extra. A full English breakfast is included, very good and very filling. Just what's needed to start a full day's activities. read more
