The Bowes Hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our four nights here as we explored the area. Warmly welcomed to our fabulous room The Pottery which had the added extras of a fridge and balcony. We enjoyed sitting outside overlooking the Pottery . All facilities were excellent and the staff were so helpful 👏 Food fabulous and the only suggestion would be cut back on portion sizes which are large! Food quality was excellent and cooked to order. Thank you for your hospitality. We wish you every continuing success . Can't be easy in current financial climate .

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.

Very welcome break after several long walks in this beautiful part of the UK. Landlord most welcoming, friendly and obliging. The food Very reasonable and very delicious "best steak ever" and good portion sizes. Toilets and surroundings Very clean. Will definitely return.

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.

Came here for opening on a weekend as I was told it can get quite busy. Brilliant service by the lady at the bar who was also the waitress. Had the homemade pie which was absolutely delicious and a tomato soup for our son which was also homemade along with the cheesy bread. Had stick toffee pudding and creme brulee for pudding, both homemade and delicious aswell. Pricing is average for a country pub. Will definitely be returning when back in Northumberland!

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.
