I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was outstanding, surrounded by beautiful grounds and conveniently close to the Roman Army museum and Vindolanda. The rooms were cozy and had a lovely view of the countryside. The service was top-notch, provided in a relaxed and welcoming manner. The dining experience with fantastic views was a highlight. However, the facilities could use some improvement, especially the run-down looking bar.

The hotel is located in a beautiful setting on a hill, offering stunning views of the countryside. The rooms are spacious, with three comfortable single beds, and the service is provided in a relaxed and friendly manner. The dining experiences include homemade muffins and fantastic views, but the price may not fully reflect the value for money. On the positive side, the hotel facilities are top-notch, making for a luxurious stay.

The hotel is located in a beautiful area with stunning grounds, overlooking the Roman Army museum and Vindolanda. The rooms offer pleasant views, and the breakfast served is very nice. However, the coffee table in the room was a bit wobbly. The service was friendly and relaxed, adding to the overall positive experience. The location on the hill, descending down to the river, provides a unique atmosphere. The dining experience with fantastic views was a highlight, although the hot food selection could be expanded. The facilities were modern and clean, but the air conditioning was a bit noisy at night.

The hotel is nestled in beautiful grounds with a relaxed atmosphere and offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms feature an obscured garden view and are pleasantly set up for a very nice breakfast with 2 double beds. The service is provided in a relaxed manner. The location is in a great area with lovely river access but could be more convenient. The included dining offers fresh vegetables and fantastic views. The overall facilities are well-maintained and satisfactory.
