Loved by The Keelman Hotel guests
"The beer from the brewery was excellent and the four beers on tap were explained well by the barman, and both dinner and breakfast were tasty."
"This was an ideal stop for our last day of walking Hadrian's wall!"
"Surroundings are great, nice big outdoor beer garden with plenty of seating and shade."

helpful staffcomfortable bedconvenient pubcracked paintinconsistent hot waterweak wifi
The staff were helpful , and they quickly assisted me with my luggage. My room had ample space and a very comfortable bed. I found the pub onsite to be lovely , and it was so convenient for grabbing a meal.
The room had some cracked paint , and it looked a bit worn. The hot water was not consistent , and this made showering difficult. The WiFi signal in my room was weak , and it was hard to connect sometimes.
