Excellent Hadrian's Wall Stay

convenient locationfriendly staffample parkingbroken lock
The location is very convenient for exploring Hadrian's Wall path. The staff were friendly and efficient. They promptly brought our bags to our room after we arrived. I appreciated the ample car parking available, ensuring convenient access to the premises. The on-site restaurant offered tasty pub fare, and I particularly enjoyed sampling the beer brewed at the brewery.
The room's outer door lock was broken, so we were advised to leave the door slightly open. This situation impacted peace of mind.

The breakfast was GREAT!!! I thought the good-sized family room was quite suitable for my needs. The pub was also quite nice.
I really wanted the WiFi to work in the room, but it did not. The TV did not work properly because of this.
