Hotel was close to Vindolanda and walking on Hadrians Wall where we spent our day. Dinner at the pub and the breakfast included was one of the best full-English meals we've had on our 3week journey in the UK. Room was newly remodeled and very comfy beds.

The hotel building seemed very old, but the inside has been very well modernised. Everything about our room was excellent. We had a very good evening meal and a super breakfast. It must be one of the best bed and breakfast hotels we have ever stayed in

Bowes is perfect for visiting Hadrian’s Wall and the many forts and museums around. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate both nights at the Bowes and the food on both nights was very good. The Thai food was delicious and you could tell it was all freshly prepared and cooked. The bed was comfortable and ideal for us after long walks. We would have no hesitation in staying again.
