Lovely, quiet escape, a stones throw from the city

Check in was straightforward enough at the bar of The Keelman itself, given the option to add breakfast on the glasshouse the morning after too. They then walked us the short distance to our room (in the lodge section). Nice clean room, clean towels and bed sheets etc. bathroom clean and tidy. Only slight niggle would be the dust on the light fitting (but that's me being picky). Had a good night's sleep, nothing to fault them on. Surroundings are great, nice big outdoor beer garden with plenty of seating and shade. Dog friendly with water facilities and tasty beer! There's a riverside walk through the park which if followed takes you to Hadrian's Wall ~1hr walk. We booked this over any city centre accommodation due to it being quieter and much better value even factoring in taxi fare to and from the city centre.

Weekend getaway

Great 3 night stay at the Keelman. Check in nice and easy, staff friendly and very helpful. Room was good, big enough for us, and had all we needed, bed comfortable, shower really good, clean and tidy. (Maybe could do with a fridge) the surroundings were very nice, a short walk to the Riverside park. Bar and restaurant were lovely, and nice outside sitting area. Food and beers excellent, especially the Prince Bishop, would definitely stay here again

From arrival we were really impressed with this place. The lady greeting us and showing us to our room, was lovely and made us feel welcome from the outset. I’m not sure if this lady is the owner, but she was always busy and appeared to show genuine concern that guests needs were being taken care of. Room was large and comfortable, with all amenities required. Attached bar/ restaurant was comfortable and served a range of well priced meals and drinks. We didn’t use it, but the outside dining area looked lovely.

Was extremely disappointed to find there was no WiFi in the room I enquired at the bar to be told that it didn’t reach as far as the room but I was welcome to work in the bar area. Not ideal for working or streaming considering the room info said there was WiFi.
