Importantly, an effective, polite, well considered and low key approach to Covid so refreshing after some really weirdly experiences elsewhere on the walk!

Kids had sausage and mash, one wouldn’t eat his sausage as it was burnt it had split its skin and the end was crunchy and over cooked, I didn’t mention it as it’s hard enough keeping them quite my wife and I shared the baked Camembert, nice but only two very small pieces of bread. My main issue is the price of drinks, £8.50 for a large glass of house Pinot Grigio this is central London wine bar price, We paid £5.35 in another gastro pub in the area today. I had a elderflower drink, £3 I paid £2.15 for exactly the same brand drink today, almost 40% more. I appreciate there is the Hjem fine dining on the premises but we were in a simple bar area.

They had just the right amount of virus precautions in place- no masks (thank goodness) but sensible hand sanitiser and a good system of serving and clearing tables.

We had the option of sitting in the bar area or the restaurant, but both seemed equally inviting. The bar had a good selection of real ales, and we were offered a taste of any one we liked. The bar area consisted of two rooms, and while the pool table dominated the immediate area, it was a quiet and friendly place where locals and visitors mingled. The menu was extensive, with starters priced around six pounds and generous portions. The main courses ranged from nine to fifteen pounds, with the option to have a larger starter as a main. The dishes were accompanied by a selection of well-cooked vegetables at no extra cost. Some of us had room for dessert, and the cheeseboard was surprisingly large. The staff were helpful and attentive throughout the evening. The restaurant had a mix of families visiting Hadrian's Wall and a nearby golf course, making it a great spot to experience Northumberland at its finest. Great job, Hadrian!

The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and accommodating, providing us with excellent service. Despite our late arrival, they prepared a delicious meal for us. The breakfast was very tasty and had a wide variety of options. The hotel itself is comfortable, clean, and conveniently located for travelers. They even took care of our bikes for us.
