Clare

Liked: Staff & service
Comfortable & convenient stay for an early flight from Newcastle. Property very noisy — doors bang, walls not very thick to dampen sound. Room dusty/cobwebs, hairs in bathroom, just looking a little tired. No staff overnight & nowhere to deposit room key out of hours. On site pub very good & plenty of parking. Pricey for what it offered, but comfortable enough.

Was extremely disappointed to find there was no WiFi in the room I enquired at the bar to be told that it didn’t reach as far as the room but I was welcome to work in the bar area. Not ideal for working or streaming considering the room info said there was WiFi.

Weekend getaway

Great 3 night stay at the Keelman. Check in nice and easy, staff friendly and very helpful. Room was good, big enough for us, and had all we needed, bed comfortable, shower really good, clean and tidy. (Maybe could do with a fridge) the surroundings were very nice, a short walk to the Riverside park. Bar and restaurant were lovely, and nice outside sitting area. Food and beers excellent, especially the Prince Bishop, would definitely stay here again

Wunderbar

Die Lage war für uns als Hadrianswanderer ideal. Die Unterkunft ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, war aber für uns völlig genügend. Das Pub ist wunderschön gelegen und bietet sehr gutes Essen an, das man bei schönem Wetter draussen geniessen kann. Das Angebot war reichhaltig zu vernünftigen Preisen. Schade war, dass man erst ab 8:00 frühstücken konnte mit sehr wässrigem, teurem Kaffee. Es übernachten sehr viele Hadrianswanderer, die sicher beizeiten loslaufen wollen.

From arrival we were really impressed with this place. The lady greeting us and showing us to our room, was lovely and made us feel welcome from the outset. I’m not sure if this lady is the owner, but she was always busy and appeared to show genuine concern that guests needs were being taken care of. Room was large and comfortable, with all amenities required. Attached bar/ restaurant was comfortable and served a range of well priced meals and drinks. We didn’t use it, but the outside dining area looked lovely.
