Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Boatside Inn from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often highlight the spacious and beautifully furnished cottages, finding them immaculately clean and comfortable, while the beer garden provides a relaxing spot upon arrival. The inn's proximity to the A69 simplifies exploring Northumberland, and it is only a short drive from Hexham; plus, a manual provides recommendations for local dining. Some guests have noted that the room wasn't serviced each day. The cottages served as a base for walking Hadrian's Wall, with delicious dining options available in the bar, such as fish pie and lamb tagine.
