The Keelman and Big Lamp Brewery

Was extremely disappointed to find there was no WiFi in the room I enquired at the bar to be told that it didn’t reach as far as the room but I was welcome to work in the bar area. Not ideal for working or streaming considering the room info said there was WiFi.

Lovely place to stay

No kettle, tv not working, 7:30am was too early for breakfast and not 1 member of staff checked to see how my stay was or explain what yo do in emergency afyer 1pm when i was told mo one woild be on site.

The Keelman is in a lovely spot by the Tyne. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The refreshments were great and very well received after a long walk! Food at the pub was also very nice.

Three 50 lads enjoyed a night at brewery here and then a night out in the toon. Great size room for 3 and for price was great value! Full English Breakfast was ok but I’d say a tad pricey. Staff in bar were fab.

Outstanding hospitality. My room was clean and comfortable and quiet - everything I needed. The hostess was very helpful with checking in. Breakfast was delicious and fulling with plenty of coffee to start the day. Additionally, I forget my phone charger and by prior night's lodging. The hostess was kind enough to track down a charger from the staff and charge up my phone to get me through the day. Thank you!! Great Hotel, Great Staff, and Great Food!

Comfortable & convenient stay for an early flight from Newcastle. Property very noisy — doors bang, walls not very thick to dampen sound. Room dusty/cobwebs, hairs in bathroom, just looking a little tired. No staff overnight & nowhere to deposit room key out of hours. On site pub very good & plenty of parking. Pricey for what it offered, but comfortable enough.

Nice place to stay

Fabulous staff made us very welcome

Facilities were fine but just average. Only complaint I have they advertise fast WIFI, but it comes from the pub which is approx. 100 yards away, so the signal does not reach. This was particularly annoying as I had work to do and booked on the premise of fast WIFI.

Very attentive, enthusiatic team running check ins and the bar/kitchen. Rooms are a little tired, but the location is great. Huge courtyard and plenty of indoor seating for dining/drinking. Beer battered Fish and Chips highly recommended with a pint of Prince Bishop. Food, Beers and accommodation all very good value.

Lovely big room, very clean with TV and tea making facilities. The property is set in wooded grounds which are very pretty. I believe there is a footpath close by so good for walks. We didn't eat here but the menu looked varied with something for everyone.

The staff are wonderful and friendly, and so are the other patrons. The place itself feels fancy but not snooty.

Excellent accommodation for the price, staff very helpful, would recommend the place.

Staff were amazing and accommodated my late arrival and still made time to make me feel very welcome. Room was spotless, had everything I needed, quiet comfy enough bed and amazing shower. Rooms could do with a refurb but reflected in price.

Great friendly staff. Large room in a group of low level challet style efforts. Rather gloomy but quite large. Bath with shower over. Excellent WiFi. Wonderful evening meal (nut roast) but breakfast was pretty abysmal for the money. Small choice of cardboard packed in cardboard by Mr Kellogg. Some choice of cooked. I had vegetarian and it was awful. Totally overcooked. The poached egg was like hard boiled and, judging by the size of the thing, it must have been laid by a member of the crow family, not a chicken. The Big Lamp is situated beside the Tyne and it's a very short walk to the river bank. There is an excellent level, traffic free path all the way to the next village passing the birth place of Stevenson of the Rocket fame.

Great accom and great beer. B’fast was 10/10 as well. Fantastic for find - we will be back. Great value for money.

Easy to access the city with car.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious if a bit dated. Food was lovely and service was great. Only criticism I have is that we had a triple room but there were only two mugs and two tumbler glasses.

Lovely hotel with incredibly friendly staff
