Facilities were fine but just average. Only complaint I have they advertise fast WIFI, but it comes from the pub which is approx. 100 yards away, so the signal does not reach. This was particularly annoying as I had work to do and booked on the premise of fast WIFI.
Very attentive, enthusiatic team running check ins and the bar/kitchen. Rooms are a little tired, but the location is great. Huge courtyard and plenty of indoor seating for dining/drinking. Beer battered Fish and Chips highly recommended with a pint of Prince Bishop. Food, Beers and accommodation all very good value.
Lovely big room, very clean with TV and tea making facilities. The property is set in wooded grounds which are very pretty. I believe there is a footpath close by so good for walks. We didn't eat here but the menu looked varied with something for everyone.
Excellent accommodation for the price, staff very helpful, would recommend the place.

Made to feel so welcome
Staff were amazing and accommodated my late arrival and still made time to make me feel very welcome.
Room was spotless, had everything I needed, quiet comfy enough bed and amazing shower. Rooms could do with a refurb but reflected in price.
Great friendly staff. Large room in a group of low level challet style efforts. Rather gloomy but quite large. Bath with shower over. Excellent WiFi.
Wonderful evening meal (nut roast) but breakfast was pretty abysmal for the money. Small choice of cardboard packed in cardboard by Mr Kellogg. Some choice of cooked. I had vegetarian and it was awful. Totally overcooked. The poached egg was like hard boiled and, judging by the size of the thing, it must have been laid by a member of the crow family, not a chicken.
The Big Lamp is situated beside the Tyne and it's a very short walk to the river bank. There is an excellent level, traffic free path all the way to the next village passing the birth place of Stevenson of the Rocket fame.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious if a bit dated. Food was lovely and service was great. Only criticism I have is that we had a triple room but there were only two mugs and two tumbler glasses.
We had a one night stay for a family occasion.
Easy to get to , warm welcome and a lovely room which is clean well kept. Fantastic breakfast with all the trimmings
I was in the area to do a trail run and chose the Keelman as it was convenient to Hexham and good value. The kitchen does close very early (7.30!) so I missed dinner on the first night and had to get a takeaway but I made sure I was there in time the second night and the food was great.
The room was comfortable. I was surprised and pleased that there was a housekeeping service on my second day. Most places skimp on this since Covid so it's nice to stay somewhere that is keeping standards up.
The staff were all really friendly.
And I enjoyed tasting the beers from the Big Lamp brewery!
