We stayed at The County Hotel, Hexham for one night whilst on a road trip of Northumberland, arriving on a Saturday, and what a great stay it turned out to be. The hotel looked very smart and tidy to arrive to and we received a warm and helpful reception.
It was good to receive the off-site parking information by email a few days before our arrival so we were prepared on where to park, which was in the large and free shopper’s car park a short downhill walk away, where we used the parking disc provided by the hotel.
Once we got to our room, we were very pleased with the cleanliness, décor, furnishings and comfort and ended up having a very good night’s sleep there. Our spacious and large bedded room faced the main road at the front but we were not really troubled by any noise. (Ear plugs were provided!)
The bar was also very welcoming, busy and appealing so we choose to eat there from a very good menu and also sampled the drinks from a very good choice of lagers and beers. The bar staff were very friendly and tentative and the food and beer was very good!
Breakfast was also very good with a very varied choice from fresh fruit to full English. Nice ambience in the breakfast room too.
Hexham itself is a very interesting old town with plenty to see by foot from the well-placed hotel. Very pleased with our stay there and wished we had stayed an extra night. The County Hotel rates as one of the best UK hotels we have stayed at since Covid.
10 out of 10 to The County Hotel.
