The Reading Rooms

We had a fantastic stay at the Reading Rooms, the host Brian is very knowledgeable about he local area and we had lovely friendly greeting. The room was perfect for us, good en-suite, nice views and comfy beds. The self serve breakfast was ideal as we were able to take our time in the morning. The selection for breakfast was very good, fruit, yoghurt, cereal, toast, fresh juice & tea's / coffee.

Really nice place, owner was very friendly and helpful. Secure storage for bikes in the shed. Loved the self service breakfast, no cooked breakfast but plenty of choice. Lovely view of the river out of the bedroom window. Place is situated right in the middle of the village.

Wow! This place is fantastic, a great room, very comfortable and warm with decent facilities. Toilet and shower are very clean and accessible. We got lost and bryan came out of his way for us. The owner was lovely. We came as strangers and left as friends .

Fabulous place to stay fresh & lovely breakfast Brian could not be more helpful. Would highly recommend hotel standard rooms Lots of places to see and visit steel rig Sycamore gap and Hexham town and abbet

Excellent accommodation, clean, welcoming & well stocked for our needs. It is a brilliant location both for short strolls and driving further afield. We enjoyed great meals at General Havelock, the pub round the corner. Everyone very friendly.

Four of us stayed here for one night during our cycle trip along Hadrian’s Wall and were really impressed with the place. Great host who went out of his way to welcome us (provided drying room, restaurant tips and drive miles the next day to return something we had left behind). Very comfortable with excellent provisions for a DIY breakfast. The butcher next door did fab breakfast rolls too. Highly recommended - and it was such a good price

Travelled up for a wedding in Bardon Mill just down the road. First attracted by ideal location & very reasonable price. Rooms are clean, spacious and well stocked. Light breakfast is an understatement - there's a lot on offer, you just have to grab it yourself. Can't stress enough how Brian went the extra mile for us - not only did he allow us to check in early, but he also sent over a list of cabs for the journey home, and then even gave us a lift back to my car the next morning. Will definitely be returning next time we head northward!

Myself and a friend were on a bike tour stopping overnight in Hayden Bridge, The Reading rooms was great, they even supplied a bike lock! We needed a twin room, our room was excellent a big double and decent sized double, don’t be put off by the ‘light’ breakfast, supplies are plentiful, cereals, bread, fruit yoghurt etc. Loads of teas and coffees. We ate across the road, about 10 steps away, I am short though! A lovely meal served by great staff. I would without hesitation stay here again.

Nice little guesthouse right on the bridge ran by a friendly and helpful owner... Great prices and the owner offered us a help yourself free breakfast and free use of the kitchen... The location is perfect, room was large with a super comfortable bed... Great.
