The hotel sits on the line of Hadrian's Wall, set back from the Military Road which runs between Newcastle and the Cumbrian border.

By train: trains from Manchester to Hexham take 3 hours 30 minutes and from London King's Cross take 4 hours - after which, it's a 10-minute taxi to the hotel. Book trains to Hexham.
On the whole, the feel is very traditional country house - think pelmet curtains, gilt-framed mirrors and candelabras. However, deep velvet sofas and splashy wallpapers give it a contemporary touch - the bar is smart and contemporary, and the dining room is rather glitzy.
Staff are courteous and professional. Facilities include a lounge, terrace, gym, swimming pool, tennis court and spa - allowing you to be as active or relaxed as you like.
