The Bowes Hotel

Our room, though small, had good facilities. A comfortable bed, excellent shower, plenty of coffee and tea, free Wi-Fi and a tv. It was lovely and warm. Our evening meal was delicious and breakfast was a feast. Great location for visiting Hadrian’s Wall and the beautiful country in the area. Happy to recommend this pace to others.

We'll be back! Lovely place to stay and visit Vindolanda and Hadrians wall. Thai food and breakfast were faultless, nicely decorated rooms and comfy beds. The staff were really friendly with a fantastic sense of humour. Can't wait to come again! Thank you

Beautiful Friendly Hotel Lovely Hotel, surrounding area beautiful too. Close to Gateshead & A69, but so peaceful. Rooms are lovely, and food and service to match , will return for sure.

Excellent stopover at this very clean and well run pub with rooms. Great value for the room including a generous and well cooked breakfast with good quality ingredients. Despite being over a pub, no noise in the room from the bar below. Special mention to every member of the team. Everyone we met was welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to help. We also had evening meal - good honest 'pub grub' which hit the spot after a days walk. Huge portions, good price and excellent service.

Another Sunday lunch review (My 150th) combined with a trip down memory lane, the venue, The Bowes Hotel, Bardon Mill and a place that was often frequented by my late father and myself as a kid in the 1980’s as we lived close-by. A table for two reserved, the lady-friend and the two yappy dogs in tow, a nice table by the window, a lovely greeting off the couple from behind the bar and a 0% Guinness and a beer shandy ordered in to wet our lips and our visit to The Bowes Hotel was starting off great. Two pan fried mushrooms on bruschetta starters ordered in, with a tri-meats main (Beef, lamb, chicken) for myself and a lamb dinner for the lady. Desserts were a couple of crème brûlée. All courses were very competitively priced compared to similar type venues in the locality, add a few drinks and for the best part of £70 we had a lovely Sunday afternoon out. The important stuff, all courses came within good time, the pan fried mushrooms starters were absolute heaven, the Sunday dinners we received were absolutely huge with the meats cooked to perfection, lovely roasties and quite possibly the best mashed potato and red cabbage combination that I’ve devoured. I have it on very good authority from my gorgeous dining partner that the cauliflower cheese was delightful too. Service was excellent, very attentive and some nice general chit-chat from staff/owners, the ambiance was fine, some classic ‘Queen’ tracks playing at a nice background level. I couldn’t fault The Bowes Hotel in Bardon Mill, I’m more than happy to recommend the place and I look forward to a return trip in the future.

We had a lovely time here. We were driven to the starting point of the walk by Catherine, who was fab. Food was delicious, and the room was very cosy and clean.
