I went with my husband for a long weekend and we both really enjoyed ourselves. It was right beside the river so lovely views and lovely walks. It was quite old fashioned in the hotel but we like that and the staff were really helpful and friendly. It was about 10-15 minute drive to Hexham where we had a good... More

The only good thing about this hotel is the location by the river. The whole hotel is shabby and in dire need of refurbishment. Food was average. The water in the pool was cloudy, so we decided not to go in. The bedroom was small with mould round the window and in the bathroom. Drinks in the bar were vastly... More

I'vs stayed in this hotel many times over many years.. 24 years and probably 100 overnights. Back in its heyday, when the now marginal Swallow Hotel group were aspirational and trying hard to steal a march on competition, this was a wonderful place, comfortable bedrooms and a view to die for from the dining room. A few years ago it... More

This was my third visit to this hotel, I just adore the location, sit and relax in the well kept gardens overlooking the river and listen to the birds singing, it really is a little piece of heaven on Earth. On finding out that this was now a Shearings Hotel, I wondered if the standards had dropped. I need not... More

Popped in for a light lunch whilst travelling through the area. Ordered a ham and mozzarella panini, what arrived was a white roll filled with ham and grated cheddar cheese! It had taken some time to arrive and I wanted to get on with my journey so I just ate it without querying or making a complaint. It would have... More

Just returned from a 3 day stay. The food was excellent and restaurant staff, although extremely busy, were always courteous and helpful. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the receptionist who told me she was far too busy to deal with a query I raised on the first morning and as the manager was not on duty until after... More

Have just returned from 3 nights at the George. The room was reasonably spacious, the furniture was a little tired but the beds and bathroom were spotless. The table d'hote meals included in the price were varied, offering good choice and were very pleasant. A la carte menu was available at a supplement but we never felt the need to... More

My husband booked 1 nights stay at this hotel for my birthday. On arrival we were told that the hotel had overbooked and that we were being sent to another 12miles away. We asked why we hadn;t been contacted by phone regarding this and were told that someone had tried that morning - I had been home at this time... More
