Lovely night away

The first room we checked into was next to an internal door which kept being slammed by noisy guests. We were moved to another room by a lovely and helpful member of staff without any hesitation. The second room was an upgrade from the first one and was in a much quieter part of the hotel so we are very appreciative of that. The staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating.the location is perfect next to the river and the outdoor space was great (was a lively still and sunny day). Breakfast was plentiful, hot and delicious.

On the Wall. Lovely location near the river with outside seating areas. Lots of comfortable seating inside. Room was spacious. Mix up with both the table booking and food order in the restaurant.

We thought there swimming leisure facilities. Didn't realise dogs were allowed in rooms heard them in the morning a few rooms up frightened when passed them in the corridor.Breakfast was excellent, but the main fish was on the small size for evening meal. Garden and bridge location was lovely.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Worst hotel Iā€™ve stayed at in years!! Dirty room with outdated plugs. Staying during a heat wave but the radiator was broken on, so the room was completely un-livable. Staff was rude. Location not actually that great since there is no Hadrianā€™s wall anywhere near the hotel. Completely outdated property.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Positive: - The hotel is at a beautiful location, next to a small river and directly on the Hadrianā€˜s Wall path. - The hotel is dog-friendly (when you are a dog lover), so be aware when you have pet-allergies. - It is very dependent which staff member you are dealing with, some are friendly with a great customer orientation, some have an attitudeā€¦.. Negative: - the bathroom sink was full with water: plug was stuck. Reported this at the reception so in the evening we discovered the room was skipped for cleaning and the water still there. - staff leaves the masterkeys at the outside of the (closed) door of the room they are working in, so donā€˜t leave any valuables in your room when you are out. - The hotel is dog-friendly (when you are not a dog lover)
