We booked 2 nights here for a very reasonable price. Absolutely no complaints about any aspect of our stay. The bathroom needed a bit of a revamp, but believe the hotel was being refitted just after we left. Everything was good - the room was warm and cosy and had everything we needed. The breakfast was good quality and plentiful and we had a swim each morning in the heated pool. The staff were absolutely lovely and so friendly - nothing was too much trouble for them. The riverside location was stunning, with leaping salmon an unexpected bonus. A great base for exploring the area and we would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time here. Got a deal with diner, bed and breakfast and were just looking for a relaxing night away. On arrival the staff were just lovely. Friendly, helpful and professional. My birthday weekend away and we were looked after very well. Many thanks for this. As others suggest, the hotel could do with some updating in parts, but the staff more than made up for this. Our room just above the reception area was great and even had a four poster bed. Really enjoyed sitting by the fire in the lounge. And again the bar staff were great. Breakfast and dining area also all totally fine and food was good quality pub food. Very happy. On check-out the staff were great again and offered good suggestions on local walks. Many thanks and will certainly be back when we are in the area next.

We were having peaceful evening away, doing a bit of stargazing and having a quiet night away as a couple. We picked the hotel based on the website, it’s lovely grounds and situation by the river. Sadly, the reality was far from the glossy marketing photography. We were put in a room at the furthest end of the hotel, a 1970s annex with endless stairs and corridors (and no lift), Our room was next to the leisure centre entrance which was leaking severely in the rain. On entering our room, we were hit with the stink of stale tobacco. It was horrid! I was worried about my clothes taking on the foul odour. The room was also in desperate need of decoration; the paint was peeling and the walls marked and scuffed throughout. This was echoed in all of the communal corridors. Only the main centre of the hotel looked somewhat fresher, but even then, the toilets were grubby. We won’t be staying again. We could have paid less for a Premier Inn and have been assured of a clean and well decorated room. I feel sad as our experience should have been memorable for all the right reasons.

A perfect place to start a walk along the Wall. Friendly welcome, wonderful location, quiet and a barman that understands and anticipates every need of a weary walker! Lots of potential for improvement (new management is taking over soon - the next night I stayed at their current place) and this will be _the_ venue to stay at.

My stay here was overall very nice. I was impressed even before setting foot in George Hotel. I got a phone call to inform me that the hot water was not working, they provided me with two options, I could either get a full refund and find elsewhere to stay or if I stayed I could have a free 3 course meal, a free breakfast and also got offered a glass of wine to be put into my room (I don't drink so got given some cans of coke fresh out of the fridge on my arrival!). The staff were all super welcoming and helpful. I had a single room. The room was lovely and warm and I initially felt like it had everything I could possibly need for a night of sleep. The room certainly needs a good update though. I feel like it wouldn't hurt or be too costly to update the carpets or to re-plaster the ceilings etc. The bathroom was also a little old too but it was fine. The location was lovely - my view was of the River Tyne surrounded my nature and I could see the lovely bridge to the right. The hotel is situated next to a roundabout but it was quiet enough as it is not a busy area. The breakfast was very nice and the restaurant also looks out onto the river which is a lovely peaceful setting to have breakfast at. I would certainly stay here again - the hotel seemed very popular with those exploring hadrians wall.
