Outstanding hospitality. My room was clean and comfortable and quiet - everything I needed. The hostess was very helpful with checking in.
Breakfast was delicious and fulling with plenty of coffee to start the day.
Additionally, I forget my phone charger and by prior night's lodging. The hostess was kind enough to track down a charger from the staff and charge up my phone to get me through the day. Thank you!!
Great Hotel, Great Staff, and Great Food!
6.0 / 10.0
Facilities were fine but just average. Only complaint I have they advertise fast WIFI, but it comes from the pub which is approx. 100 yards away, so the signal does not reach. This was particularly annoying as I had work to do and booked on the premise of fast WIFI.
4.0 / 10.0
Very attentive, enthusiatic team running check ins and the bar/kitchen. Rooms are a little tired, but the location is great. Huge courtyard and plenty of indoor seating for dining/drinking. Beer battered Fish and Chips highly recommended with a pint of Prince Bishop. Food, Beers and accommodation all very good value.

Lovely big room, very clean with TV and tea making facilities. The property is set in wooded grounds which are very pretty. I believe there is a footpath close by so good for walks. We didn't eat here but the menu looked varied with something for everyone.

The staff are wonderful and friendly, and so are the other patrons. The place itself feels fancy but not snooty.

Staff were amazing and accommodated my late arrival and still made time to make me feel very welcome.
Room was spotless, had everything I needed, quiet comfy enough bed and amazing shower. Rooms could do with a refurb but reflected in price.
3.0 / 10.0
Great friendly staff. Large room in a group of low level challet style efforts. Rather gloomy but quite large. Bath with shower over. Excellent WiFi.
Wonderful evening meal (nut roast) but breakfast was pretty abysmal for the money. Small choice of cardboard packed in cardboard by Mr Kellogg. Some choice of cooked. I had vegetarian and it was awful. Totally overcooked. The poached egg was like hard boiled and, judging by the size of the thing, it must have been laid by a member of the crow family, not a chicken.
The Big Lamp is situated beside the Tyne and it's a very short walk to the river bank. There is an excellent level, traffic free path all the way to the next village passing the birth place of Stevenson of the Rocket fame.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious if a bit dated. Food was lovely and service was great. Only criticism I have is that we had a triple room but there were only two mugs and two tumbler glasses.

5.0 / 10.0
I was in the area to do a trail run and chose the Keelman as it was convenient to Hexham and good value. The kitchen does close very early (7.30!) so I missed dinner on the first night and had to get a takeaway but I made sure I was there in time the second night and the food was great.
The room was comfortable. I was surprised and pleased that there was a housekeeping service on my second day. Most places skimp on this since Covid so it's nice to stay somewhere that is keeping standards up.
The staff were all really friendly.
And I enjoyed tasting the beers from the Big Lamp brewery!

4.0 / 10.0
A very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. A very pleasant area. I had my dog with me and it was straight out of the door and a few yards to walk along the riverside. The room was warm and clean with good Wi-Fi. A kettle in the room with tea and coffee. 50 yds to the restaurant and bar with really good ales. only negative was the tables tops in the bar/restaurant were very sticky as with most bars. The breakfast was excellent, the evening meal selection was a bit limited and I thought a bit pricey, although I haven't dined out for quite a while.

Brilliant service from the minute I arrived, comfortable and spacious room - could use a little TLC in some areas but nothing major. Food in the evening and breakfast was very good. Will happily stay again
8.0 / 10.0
I loved room 10 perfect for a single traveller and a bath and shower option was a delight instead of only shower !
Bed comfortable good pillows and nice size of tv !
My supper was basic as reduced menu as staff issues
It wasn’t a stottie it was a bun !
The roast beef was tough as leather and taste less !
Gravy was packet
Fries decent
Asked for horseradish and it was very mild !
I didn’t complain as I was starving ! but if that’s the best you can do maybe just offer crisps and nuts
My drink was perfect soda lime and bitters :)
Breakfast was excellent arranged nice on plate and all at good temp !
The cold table was fit for purpose ! Coffee great
The server was fun and a credit to you !
I loved the property BUT I won’t be rushing back to eat the roast beef stottie !

Lovely location and very convenient having the pub nearby. Excellent breakfast. Rooms are a decent size but I do think need some TLC, particularly the bathroom. The rooms are in a separate building a short walk away from the pub.

I can't wait to come back to this place.

Very uncomfortable stay in room 10, the heating was luke warm at best.
There is a light outside of room 10 which is uncomfortable to sleep with because its on all night.
Limited lighting to your car, no info about meals at the pub.
We were told the restaurant closed at 7.30pm.
We had very little info about breakfast, just told it was available til 8.30am.
Obviously very dissatisfied with the experience.
There are much better places.

Very nice location close to the Tyne. Spacious rooms and very clean. Only negative comment is that the double mattress was uncomfortable. You could fell every spring and hear all the springs creak each time you turned over.

Great place
3.0 / 10.0
We had a triple room in the original part of the hotel - the room was clean but clearly needed a “deep clean” and fixtures & fittings need updating. The bar was welcoming and the beers good! Staff very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The only meal we had was breakfast - there was a good variety of cereals, yogurts, croissants, juices etc however hot breakfasts were a little disappointing.
Having had a great stay in the newer part of the hotel previously (before Covid) this stay was slightly underwhelming.

My second visit to The Keelman and Big Lamp Brewery. Will be returning in October with my wife. Excellent location adjacent to country park and Hadrian's Wall path. Enjoyed a bike ride along the north bank of the Tyne as far as The Points Bridge. Comfortable place to stay with good food menu ;~ can totally recommend the'Keelman Stack'!!
