The Wheatsheaf Hotel

The Wheatsheaf Hotel

8/10 Good
"Perfect location. Room was a good size- bed and bedding were both excellent. A little noisy as the singer in the bar was right below our room- but it stopped at a reasonable time. Nothing flash, I would describe it as cheap and cheerful but excellent value for money and I would definitely stay again."

"A wonderful hotel well positioned in Hexham and as a base for exploring the surrounding area. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast consisted of a buffet selection and items cooked to order and was very tasty. Parking in the hotel car park was limited, but there is plenty of on street parking, which requires a token from the hotel."

"Slaley is a grand hotel, outdated in parts, but don't let this put you off. Check in was quick, room spacious and clean. Nice view over looking the driveway. Bars were good and not to expensive. Breakfast was ok,food was fine, but kept running bout. lots of guests and the coffee machines kept running out aswell. Leisure facilities were good, could do with more loungers, but its finding places to put them. Overall had a good might away. Would stay again"

Langley Castle Hotel

Langley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Having recently stayed at Langley Castle, I can honestly say this was one of the best hotel experiences I have had in a long time. My wife and I travel extensively, and it is rare that you find somewhere where you immediately 'feel at home'. This is largely due to the genuine and warm hospitality shown by all of the staff throughout our stay. On top of this the breakfast and service in the restaurant was outstanding and certainly befitting of such a special hotel. The tour of the castle is not to be missed either. Our room, which was in the main castle itself was very impressive with a magnificent 4 poster bed and had a real feel of grandeur. Despite having exposed stone walls the room was extremely clean and free from dust which must be a real challenge in such an old building. Overall, a wonderful stay and we will be back. Highly recommended."
