6/10 Good

Misleading

The "hotel" has closed. The base of the bed was very wobbly, how I imagine a waterbed might feel. The eco-toilet was very loud.

6/10 Good

Inconsiderate guests and poor customer service.

The room itself was clean and comfortable. No proper instructions were sent regarding accessing the room (which is via a key safe). Luckily, the girl in the pub had a scrap of paper with the details. I didn't see anyone from the hotel itself during my stay. There is a small kitchen with a breakfast bar (seating for two people), fridge, toaster etc but no sink. During my stay the room was being used to store three bikes belonging to other guests which I think is incredibly inconsiderate. What I find even more disturbing though, is the fact that they were allowed to do it. Either the management condones the practice or they were unaware. The latter suggests a lack of supervision of the property which I find disturbing. I sent an email the next day but have yet to receive a reply. Very poor customer service.

2/10 Poor

Poor experience and no response to complaints

Similar commination problems with owner as others have reported. No info on how to access room (pub next door helped even though they have nothing to do with the hotel anymore despite the photos). Owner said txt had ben sent but had left phone at home so couldn’t say who she’d sent it to. After stay, no response to complaints after several attempts to contact requesting refund (saying she cannot read Hotels.com messages when they contacted her). Complaints were: 1. Toilet seat fell off toilet – not attached to unit 2. Water bottle stopper had mould growing in it 3. Breakfast – make it yourself but nowhere to eat it (no table / chair in room and tiny communal table in room where ingredients stored 4. Flies flew out of breakfast fridge when opened 5. Bed mattress old and worn out 6. WiFi inoperable How can she run a business like this? Stay somewhere else.

6/10 Good

It was a lovely little Inn and the Village area very pretty. The room itself was nice; however smaller than what was expected as was the bed which was not that comfortable. We seemed to be the only people there which I found odd given when I booked it appeared the Inn was sold out. Breakfast was do it yourself with bread, cereal etc available in a small room next to the entrance. There is no one on site and instructions for getting in were provided by email. The room would be great for one person. The bathroom and room were clean ( carpet a bit dated). We only stayed one night on our way through I don’t think this place would have worked if we had planned to stay longer. I understand the Inn might be under new ownership or a new operator. There is a for sale sign in the outside. Overall it worked but as noted room and bed smaller than expected.

Cosy stay

Lovely hotel/ pub in Hayden Bridge, Staff really friendly and welcoming . I ordered an omelette for breakfast - just the best👍👍 I paid £10 extra for an upgrade / a beautiful light and airy apartment. Thoroughly recommend . Thank you

Quiet room and good cooked breakfast. Not any choice of breakfast cereals. Evening meals at hotel and in the town are in very short supply, so you need to travel to other venues.
Jeff, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hosts were very helpful. The night we stayed the only two restaurants nearby were closed, so we got takeaway from a chip shop and were allowed to eat in the bar using plates and cutlery. This is a handy location for visiting Vindolanda and Hadrian’s Wall.

The girl behind the bar was very friendly. The bar area was ok not a lot of choice of beers. Disappointed with food said Bistro nothiing like on website only burgers or wraps available and that came up in cardboard boxes ! Not very good. Room and bed were clean. Only on street parking and was lucky to get a space. Ok for one night

Haydon Bridge

An extra night after a wedding stay in the area .Difficult to find a place for a Saturday night so happy to find a place but pleasantly surprised by the Hotel . I expected a commercial area for a Hotel called the Railway but it was in a nice street near the river with a view and relatively quiet . Very handy for Hexham , Corbridge and Hadrians Wall , as well as Northumberland Moors .
