exploring barbond mill's scenic walks and rich history

During my stay, I loved the delicious food at the pub, especially the lamb shank, and the proximity to landmarks like Vindolanda made my city strolls really enjoyable. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the warm, friendly service and the spacious, well-appointed room that perfectly suited my needs.

great stay with a few minor issues

The room impressed with its mix of traditional features and modern touches. The staff were exceptionally helpful, providing food even late at night and offering a ride to nearby attractions.

Choosing the right room was tricky due to limited signage.

It was just a fine choice for a short staycation in Bardon Mill with definitely value for money. The beers were good, and the atmosphere improved once the noisy locals left. Make sure to check the cleanliness of your table before settling in.

the bowes was a lovely hotel with a friendly atmosphere. the breakfast was fabulous, and we enjoyed our meal in the bar area, opposite the pool table. the packed lunches made to order were a great touch! it’s the perfect spot for walking the hadrian’s wall, too.

a few small updates would enhance the experience.

We loved our stay in the cozy studio with a kitchenette, and the comfy chairs made our evenings so relaxing. Plus, we enjoyed some great meals in a lovely atmosphere, especially the Scottish breakfast and delicious pizza. Just a heads up, the mattresses could use an upgrade to match the rest of the room's quality, but overall, it was a wonderful experience! 😊

The Bowes is a lovely hotel with a charming, rustic pub atmosphere. The spacious dining area is bright and welcoming, making it easy for us seniors to enjoy delicious meals without feeling rushed!

cozy, cozy, cozy

I loved the cozy atmosphere created by the real coal fire in the bar area. it felt like home away from home! The meals were simply divine, especially the hearty Scottish breakfast that energized my mornings. And the staff truly went above and beyond, ensuring our tables were reserved for dinner so we wouldn't miss out on their delicious evening meals.

recommend ❤️😊

We enjoyed our stay at this charming spot. The spacious and airy superior king room was perfect for my family, offering a cozy atmosphere. Plus, we had fun watching the football match downstairs after a delicious dinner. Breakfast was also a hit with everyone!

My kids wished for a kids' play area to keep them entertained during downtime.

The Bowes Hotel is a fantastic spot for backpackers like me! The welcoming staff made me feel right at home. The room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, with a great view of the village. Plus, the breakfast was simply delicious and fueled me for a day's hike along Hadrian's Wall!

Parking can be a bit challenging.

unique events like the yearly leek competition, engaging interactions with local community, captivating local history experiences

The noise from the lively pub atmosphere can certainly disrupt one's peace!!! Limited dining hours and poor communication at times leave much to be desired!!!

This place suits me perfectly! The free wi-fi, excellent bar/lounge area, and helpful staff create a cozy atmosphere. I still remember how they found my forgotten jewellery on my first stay. I'll definitely be back for a weekend!

My stay at The Bowes was delightful. The spacious room and a scrumptious breakfast made our mornings special. The vibrant atmosphere in the bar, complete with friendly locals, added to our experience. Limited parking posed a slight inconvenience, but overall, we relished our stay.

Family with children will love it

Absolutely loved the meal options they had for us. The staff especially made my kids feel at home with their friendly attitude. The warm welcome and spacious room were great after a long day walking. Great food at the bar while the kids watched football was a smart way to keep everyone happy.

It was rather expensive but well worth it in the end.

charming stay near exploration of landmark attractions

I stayed here for one night and the atmosphere in the pub downstairs was filled with local folks, making it a cozy spot to unwind. plus, the beautiful landscapes of Allen Banks and Staward Gorge are just a short walk away, perfect for my weekend strolls.
