The George Hotel is a wonderful place and one that I will remember well. It's near to Hadrian's Wall and many other old Roman sites to explore. The George Hotel has a charm that countryside adventurers will love. Hikers from the wall come and go and share their stories. That bridge and the river provide a scene that you will remember. Although there is no lift, we found out that the room was easily accessible from the upper parking spaces. Staff was super friendly. The food was excellent and just what you would want after a long day exploring. Try the local beers! I definitely recommend.

Worst hotel ive stayed in wont be going back

The hotel in general was poor quality with restaurant staff removing dishes from tables while peoole were still eating paint peeling off radiators and wallpaper coming away at the joins had to change rooms because one of the mattresses was none existant as when lying on it felt like lying on the bed base and the room we were given had very poor standards of decoration but at least the bed was good and clean.The hotel itself is in need of a total revamp wont be staying again and will warn friends etc not to which is a shame because the hotel setting was great.when checking out the recepionist was chewing gum or something didnt seem interested and didnt even ask if we had enjoyed our stay but the chap who was in reception when we arrived was first class and a credit to the hotel

Eat sleep and chase your breakfast

The room was spacious and had a lovely view of the river and gardens,The receptionist on our arrival was very friendly and informative, giving us some useful advice about the area, that we acted upon. We only stayed one night here and we booked an evening meal as well as breakfast. The room was nicely decorated and had a large comfy bed with pillows that were soft and fresh. Our evening meal was enjoyable but we had to wait a while to get our food and drink order as there was some inexperienced staff serving at the tables. The wine served was of good quality, but unfortunately it was poured into thick basic wine glasses which was disappointing and ruined the experience. Unfortunately Breakfast was a let-down to say the least, basically as we had to make the most of what remained available. Even though we arrived for our breakfast half an hour before service finished, the coffee machine had over-heated and we had to make drinks with instant coffee, although we had no cups or mugs to use. Similarly, there were no breakfast plates or cereal bowls when we approached the buffet. We were met with the comment 'we are short-staffed this morning', no apologies were received during our time in the breakfast area. Plus there was no or little fresh juices, as well as the milk dispenser was near the bottom level and had to be tipped to get a few dribbles. Overall this was very disappointing and made our experience more of a chore than a pleasure. We expect better from Bespoke Hotels.

It seemed to me that the public areas of the hotel were where any money has been spent - the restaurant, especially, was lovely - especially with it's river view. :However, for the amount I paid for the room, I expected more - it was basic. I may not be their demographically ideal customer but there were no extras with the room - no toiletries, no minibar (even just to chill drinks etc or provide bottle water). The small television, with no smart facilities, is particularly outdated.

Hadrians wall stay

Could have done with aircon as the radiator kept turning on auto and it was a little hot to sleep. Very nice hotel though, good staff and food/drink. We had a nice stay and would stay again.

Don’t bother, better off camping!

Bad! Seemed to just be there as a way of milking cash from tired walkers of the Hadrians wall. Room was in a pretty bad condition and included a hole in the wall exposing live electrical wires. 1 tiny radiator which was useless for drying wet gear from hiking. Some of the plugs in the room you couldn’t even use as they were non standard UK plugs. The menu prices at the restaurant were ridiculous for what you got and the service was pretty lacklustre.

Evening meal choice was ok with fish chips and peas. But expected more choice for a evening at a hotel. Breakfast was extremely disappointing was shown to my table and just left. Realised it myself was self service from adjoining room. Waiter didn't seem interested! Machine drinks - why can't they be made on request fresh? Didnt bother with any drink! Self service for hot items, didnt look appetising. Sausage was bland, tasteless and tasted mushy inside. Tomato was hard both in middle and outside- how can a cook not get these cooked right? Did tell this to reception when checking out but said we will pass comments on but didnt honestly seem interested! Had previously stayed at this hotel under previous owners and it was so much better. Really gone downhill.

Needs updating

Maybe I got a bad bedroom but I was not impressed with this hotel. Carpet was dirty, paint work chipped, nail in wall but picture missing, bed squeaked. Had to go up 1 flight of stairs to bedroom along a corridor then down another flight of stairs, with luggage is not ideal (no lift). Not a hotel I would return to - I did not sleep well because my room did not feel clean, I did mention this to reception but was advised some rooms had been updated and had new carpet and some hadn't.
