Visited here for the 1st time today for lunch. No food menu on any table, you had to go beside the bar and look on the wall!. There wasn't anything on the menu that appealed to me and too be honest the prices are ridiculous, so I opted for a Thai steak wrap and salad. The salad was out of... More

After a terrible night in another hotel nearby I found the Bowes Incline and booked in for three nights. I could not have asked for more, the staff were friendly and efficient, the hotel/restaurant were really well presented. Recently refurbished the whole experience was great. I would definitely stay here again when I return to the area - highly recommended.

We have just spent bank holiday weekend at the Bowes Incline. Our welcome was very friendly and although we missed reception and entered by the pub we were impressed by our welcome and quickly shown to our room. The room was clean and comfortable with what appeared to be a newly refurbished bathroom, no bath but excellent shower. Lovely soft... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and comfortable, the shower good and the service excellent. When we ran out of the little pots of UHT milk in our room, we were immediately offered a large jug of fresh milk - so much nicer for a good cuppa! The restaurant is great - lots of choice of...

I stayed here for one night while travelling with work and it was great. The hotel is a bit off the beaten track so you need a car to get anywhere but that wasn't a problem for me. I arrived and was greeted by a very friendly receptionist. The room was newly refurbished and had a double and a single... More

Lovely pub with hotel attached. Friendly staff and nice rooms. Please be aware the rooms do not have an air condition and therefore if it is summer you must open the windows to cool the room but the hotel is very close to the motorway and the noise is annoying. Also the noise by the bathrooms from the neighbors is... More

We have been to the Bowes Incline a number of times and we have never been disappointed. There is always a great selection of choices from the large blackboard as well as the traditional Sundays lunches. The food is always of a high quality and there is a large selection of beers and wines as well as a couple of... More

The standard of the rooms here are first class and the staff in general were more than helpful, to include their readily changing our room from one with a shower to one with a bath. The rooms themselves are well appointed and accessed at ground floor level from the reception, which also adjoins the bar/dining area. The latter is comfortable... More

We really enjoy stopping the Bowes when visiting family and going to watch Newcastle play. It's a charming pub with a nice feel to it, the food is very good, lots of choice, probably too much, there's always a special or two on and it's always cooked well. Sopped there 3 times now and it never lets you down. Well... More
