The hotel is in a lovely position at the side of a river and is handy for visiting Hadrian's Wall and the nearby towns of Hexham and Corbridge. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and not to be missed, especially the evening meals.

Very friendly staff. Lovely location and setting. Some areas of the hotel seemed to be unused/undergoing renovation ( garden and ? Indoor pool area.)Not that this mattered to us but it gives an air of neglect. Our room was perfectly clean and very comfortable. Some public areas need a bit of updating. Breakfast was lovely. Our bar meal was adequate. Staff were very helpful

Stayed over New Year and decided to stay and extra night as we felt so comfortable as staff and food were good.
Room was a little small for a 'premium ' but adequate. The bar/ lounge is great, lovely fires and a lot of residents brought their dog, the staff engaged with all👍👍. Look forward to seeing how they upgrade the hotel after the January shutdown. We will be back.

I booked a superior room which was very comfortable and clean. We overlooked the river and had a double aspect room (317).
Staff were all very friendly and went out of their way to see that we were happy.

The George hotel is historically stunning!! The entire hotel holds so much beautiful character, from the sitting rooms to the restaurant. The restaurant is also gorgeous, overlooking the river and their lovely gardens, not to mention that the food was very much fine dining for a low price.

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.
