Very friendly staff booking in and out was no hassle Downside is that no lift available at this hotel

The cotton/window are in bad shape…

Bathrooms need a revamp. Looking outdated and tired

Room clean, staff very helpful

No breakfast only dissapointment

Staff very friendly and helpful

Close to my Desination but No Meals at Accomodation and Pub next Door was Expensive

Although some of the decor maybe a little dated, this hotel is is excellent, large rooms, free parking, pub lunch next door at excellent prices. The staff are really nice and helpful.

Very easy to park and the staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities are comfortable but my only quibble is, despite No Smoking notices everywhere, there was a smell of stale smoke and the fire alarm was set off 4 times. Also i have stayed several times over the last 2 years and the lift is always out of order.

When I got to my room there was no toilet roll or tea coffee & sugar. Thankfully took my own.

This is a basic hotel …… you get what you pay for ….. it is what is ….. bit dated ….and they need to get the lift working ….. 😄

Clean basic hotel with friendly staff

No hot water in shower so had to be moved to another room that wasn’t as clean so a bit disappointed. Beds were comfortable and parking was easy.

Staff were polite & attentive. Property was shabby lift wasn’t working. Carpets threadbare. Cigarette burn marks on carpet. Bed was squeaky & uncomfortable.Room was dingy poor lighting.

Clean and good value for money

Firstly we would use the Hotel Again. It was adequate and priced reasonably. Sadly during most of the night there was heavy traffic, which meant it was difficult to get to sleep.

Basic but very clean

Great hotel in terms of cleanliness and price. Location is great as a base for motorcycling around Northumberland and Durham areas. Great food next door. No breakfast facilities.

I wish I’d read more reviews before booking this hotel, but we were limited for choice due to time constraints and having a dog with us. Apparently the lift hasn’t worked for years - and we were given a room on the third floor. The window of our room only opened a crack, barely letting in any (badly needed) fresh air. The room was very tired and the carpet badly stained. Whoever had painted the bathroom had glossed over the doorframe AND the tiles. It looked like a blind man had been tasked with the job and then not given enough time to complete it. The hot water in the bathroom was just about tepid if you let it run for long enough. Some of the hotel residents seem to be living there permanently, and we saw at least two women hanging around the lobby in their pyjamas/dressing gowns in the middle of the afternoon. We went to the pub next door for an evening meal. When we came back a woman was standing outside the hotel having a heated argument on her phone. When my husband went out 2 hours later to walk the dog she was till there, sobbing into her mobile. On the morning we left two staff were frantically knocking on someone’s door and asking if they were ok. Is this a hotel or a half-way house? I woke up on the middle of the night and the smell of tobacco smoke was so strong in our room that I had to check the hallways to ensure there was no fire. On the plus side, the staff were lovely and very helpful.
