What guests think
At Bowes Incline Hotel, guests consistently praise the friendly, efficient staff, hearty pub dining, and clean, modern rooms, with many describing the rural setting near the A1 as peaceful and convenient for business or leisure stays.
Common downsides include occasional noise or cooking smells from the bar and beer garden, rooms that can feel cold when heating is reduced at night, and patchy Wi‑Fi in some areas. A few guests also met limited bar service due to early closing or refurbishment, and some guests would welcome an on‑site EV charger. Overall, expect a relaxed country‑inn stay that suits drivers and short breaks.

I arrived at the Hotel on the coldest night of the winter so far (predicted to be -5). I was given room 17 which is furthest from reception and the very last room down a long corridor. This meant two things: 1) furthest from router - I could not get any wifi 2) It was a very cold room to begin with. I was told that they had just turned to the room heating on and it would stay on until about 11pm. WRONG It went off about 6.30 pm. 3 power cuts later. I slept in all of clothes and socks as it was sooooo cold. Not a good experience all round ...

This is the second time I have started here with the last time being in the Summer. As last time, the staff were great and the food is spot on - especially breakfast. Be warned, breakfast portions are big! The only negatives are that there should be at least a bottle of water in the room but more of an issue was the the room heating is switched off centrally somewhere around 9:30pm. I was still doing some work at the desk and the room when pretty cold quite quickly. I appreciate the cost management but had my wife been staying, it would not have been acceptable. I will stay again and do recommend this lovely hotel but be aware of the heating situation through the winter.

What a great place to stay , you have to go down some small lane to get to it ,but with the main road (A1) running just over 50m away it was very peaceful no road noice . Check in was easy , room very clean , only problem was they are updating the room next door so heating was off but heater was in the room , also workmen didn`t start work until after 9-30 so no problems with noise . Great breakfast with loads to choice and plenty to be had , the pub food was some of the best i`ve had ( beef & ale pie ) grat price too . GREAT STAFF everyone of the team was great 11 out of 10 nothing was to much trouble for them .

A lovely pub & hotel with good food and very attentive staff. The room was recently refurbished and was very comfortable. The only negative was that the room was cold. I raised this with reception who said they would press the boost? The heating came on for a bit and then went off again. Again I spoke to reception (I’m not particularly fussy but my hands were actually cold) and they repeated that someone will press the boost. Not ideal on a cold night. Breakfast was lovely though.

The service was amazing, the food at the pub was great (especially the lemon meringue cheesecake!), the only thing that really let this place down was the rock hard bed. I have osteoarthritis in my hip and he’s beds equals chronic pain and zero sleep for me. Such a shame as everything about the stay was perfect!

Welcoming at reception, room was pleasant, clean and modern. Unfortunately I think it was next to the toilets from the pub/ restaurant so was noisy until quite late. The room was warm and when I opened window the beer garden has piped music so had that to contend with as well. Breakfast was included and service was good. Unlikely to be back now if I’m honest.

We really loved our stay at Bowes Incline. It sets a very high standard in all areas from staff friendliness, to the quality of finish in the rooms, their cleanliness and the quality of their food. We only wish that all of our stays were this good! The great experience started with the young lady on reception who was really friendly and helpful, and who doesn't love that liltting Geordie accent! The rooms have been well designed and simply styled with neutral colours. The food is outstanding, and we can see why it appears to be popular with the locals. The chef has some talent and imagination. The menu is varied and although we opted for the steak, they were perfectly cooked, and the meal arrived hot (something that doesn't always happen). Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide range of options, and generous portions. We'd highly recommend Bowes Incline to anyone wanting to stay in the Newcastle area.

This a terrific hotel in the heart of the Gateshead countryside. The staff are extremely efficient and very helpful to make stay the best experience ever. The restaurant food is of a very high standard, never a bad meal yet. The only negative is that GPS systems for one reason or another can not find location. So we eventually found that if you input North Rise, it will take right to the Bowes Incline Hotel, —- go figure ! Great stay.

We really loved our stay at Bowes Incline. It sets a very high standard in all areas from staff friendliness, to the quality of finish in the rooms, their cleanliness and the quality of their food. We only wish that all of our stays were this good! The great experience started with the young lady on reception who was really friendly and helpful, and who doesn't love that liltting Geordie accent! The rooms have been well designed and simply styled with neutral colours. The food is outstanding, and we can see why it appears to be popular with the locals. The chef has some talent and imagination. The menu is varied and although we opted for the steak, they were perfectly cooked, and the meal arrived hot (something that doesn't always happen). Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide range of options, and generous portions. We'd highly recommend Bowes Incline to anyone wanting to stay in the Newcastle area.
