Great stay in a scenic hotel
Great stay in a hotel beside the river, with lovely scenery. Comfortable bed meant I slept very well. Breakfast was lovely each day and so was the evening meal I had. Great location for exploring Hadrian's Wall or attending Hexham Races.

Fantadtic couple of days.
Booking was last minute and a real pleasure to find such a dog friendly hotel in an idealic riverside location. The staff couldnt be more helpful or friendly, nothing was too much trouble, and of course it was a paws up from our dog as he was offered treats at every turn.
The hotel itself is starting to show its age but dont let that put you off.

Good traditional hotel
Room very nice, clean and comfortable. Almost all staff were kind, helpful and considerate. Great location by river and right on hadrians wall path hence full of people walking the wall.

Room at back very quiet, hotel needs a bit of an upgrade. Busy with multi national walkers. Food was better than expected, and breakfast ok. No pool or spa available

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.

Great service and location for Hadrians Wall
My wife and I stayed for one night whilst walking the wall, for which this is in an ideal location. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful with Lettie in particular standing out by helping with specific dietary requirements. The hotel is situated in a lovely spot by the bridge over the River North Tyne. We had a tasty and good sized breakfast the following morning to set us underway for the day's hike. The photo was the view from our room.

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.

Our room was lovely and had modern conveniences, but it was quite an adventure getting there. Why would a floor have rooms numbered in the 100s and in the 300? And so many fire doors and short ups and downs.
On the plus side, the breakfast buffet had the largest selection we have seen, with plenty of fresh fruit and lovely pastries in addition to everything you might wish in a full English breakfast.
And the grounds were lovely.

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.
