The rooms feel a little sterile, but everything was clean and comfortable, the staff was helpful, and the beer -- multiple varieties of real ale brewed on site -- was amazing.

Have just stayed for 3 nights at the Keelmans on our way back from Orkney. It's just as good as when we stayed there for the first time last year. We had room number 14, a wonderful room on the first floor which was comfortable spacious and airy and we noted that two pillows had been provided this time as... More

Overall, this hotel was great for what we needed: reasonably priced, not unreasonably far from Newcastle, and close to the Hadrian’s Wall Path. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The food and pints were excellent. For more on our travels, see our website: http://www.jndstravelog.com/

I stayed at the Keelman's Lodge for 5 nights as I was attending a business course in Newcastle and one of the organisers recommended it. It's a cosy, informal place, about 15minutes in a taxi from the station. I was given a warm welcome by Linda, and shown to my room which was in a separate building to the main... More

Relatively cheap, but nice lodges around the large car park. There is a brewery on site so real ale lovers are in heaven. One quirk, you cannot walk up to the bar to order a drink, you have to queue, in busy times for up to 15 minutes. Food is not fantastic, but perfectly ok.

Great location. Great accommodation. Great welcome. We had come up for the England vs Australia cricket match at nearby Chester le Street. As a beer lover I was entranced by the 6 (at least) real ales on offer but found the catering to be a little stodgy. Dinner scored 7 out of 10 but breakfast was not so good with... More

I stayed in the Salmon Cottage building, which is a self-contained block across the car park from the pub. Despite the 'Cottage' tag, it's a new build and isn't the place to be for old world charm - another review has described it as a 'motel' and I think that's quite a good description. However, the bedroom was great. Spacious,... More

We stayed at Keelman's Lodge on the first night of our walk along Hadrian's Way. You really can't beat the location of this place--It's a stone's throw from the trail. We ate in the pub as well and were pleased with the food. We didn't eat breakfast there as it was another 7 pounds or so (not included in the... More

I spent a pleasant weekend at The Keelman Lodge. The accommodation was comfortable and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The location is great for exploring the countryside and is within easy reach of Newcastle city centre. We enjoyed the food, which was very reasonably priced, and the pub serves its own beer which is brewed on site.
