Great
GGuest UserThe room was lovely. Located to the side of the pub with it's own entrance, it was so quiet with a lovely view of the garden.
There was lots of storage and space and the refreshment tray had a good variety.
The bathroom was spotless and huge with a selection of toiletries.
If I had to be really picky I would say that given the size of the bathroom it would have been nice to have a larger shower cubicle as it was a tad snug.
The pub itself was so welcoming and cosy and the vegetarian options were delicious for our evening meal.
Overall, what an amazing stay. Will definitely be back!
GGuest UserA simply amazing stay. Firstly Ian and his team helped us remedy an error made by ******* on booking rooms at the Bowes hotel. Really friendly and interpersonal staff along with extensive knowledge of the area and further beyond particularly Hadrian's Wall path along with the Roman Museums and Forts. The food served was amazing aswell, better than some other independent restaurants, also the Thai-cakes are a must try! The room is clean and tidy with a great buffet breakfast to boot, they also make lunch for your journey ahead.
If you are staying at Bardon Mill, this is the place to be, just a walk away from the station that connects back to Newcastle. Friendly neighbourhood and locals that shares stories from their journeys and also fellow travellers from around the world mostly doing the Hadrian's Wall walk. I cannot fault this wonderful and cosy hotel and pub that is the Bowes Hotel!
GGuest UserBed very low and hard bedhead curved so pillows fall down behind. Breakfast advertised 17.50 when went they charged you for individual items which turns out very expensive. Parking only 7 cars free in underground carpark. Bar has awful draught beer if you like beer with lemon flavour your ok. Asked for sofa bed for other guest when arrived not set up or bedding. After paying alot of money for 1 night stay thought ot wd be good. Sorry but i would not book this hotel again
YYuanzuoyitiaoredaiyuA very special stay experience, it is a real medieval castle, and the choice is one of the only few rooms in the castle Josephine suite, especially like the medieval windows in the room, the photos are very good. The dinner and breakfast experience was great, the overall price/performance ratio was OK, the night was very quiet and there was almost no light pollution, and you could see the wonderful stars. The most recommended is the castle tour, there is a dedicated staff who will take you to visit the entire castle and climb to the top, the scenery is unique. There are peacocks in the yard 🦚
If you want to experience a unique castle stay, it is highly recommended.
GGuest UserComfortable room, nice selction of toiletries with pleasant scent. lovely food. Battlesteads was able to accommodate a pet dog ( pet pack also included) . Great selection for brealfast and tasty Ringtons coffee. This was a birthday break so only one night stay , Booked bed and breakfast, decided to add evening meal. The village of Wark is lovely to walk around, cross over bridge to football field one way and dog walk the other, weather helped make the stay as it was warm Autumn sunshine. Saw Grey Heron by the riverbank. Would recommend and would go again.
Nnigel ashleyLovely pub style hotel in glorious surroundings. Food is excellent. The rooms are rather small but functional. By the way, if both of you are over 80 kgs, I suggest two beds. As this is Northumberland, you will find the drying room a great find. The brewery bar is really good. Enjoy the Hadrian Wall close by.
GGuest UserStaff were friendly and informative. Food was delicious although a limited selection.
Rooms were clean, tidy and had god ensuite facilities.
Would recommend for short stays for couples, friends, etc. not really suitable for families with young children.
GGuest UserIt was good but room was not ready so was given a card for two free drinks but had the bar staff charged me for the free drinks ... there was two free bottles of beer in fridge in room but no bottle opener . Plus room was to hot and couldn't coll down much .
