We stayed in two story room at the back of the hotel, with a small living room and the bathroom downstairs and two single beds upstairs. This was compact but suited our needs perfectly. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. There was adequate parking, down a little lane, right outside our door. The reception and restaurant were easier to locate and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful. There is also a Sainsbury and laundrette a very short walk away from the hotel. The hotel is in the centre of Britain and across the road from the marker that provides this information.

The room was big with a huge comfortable bed, and the calefaction worked adequately. It had a kettle for tea, tea, and some biscuits too. The manager/owner was super friendly, and even though I am a Latin American traveller, I felt welcome in this little sleepy town in Northumbria. The food was a big plus. They served strong coffee and a full English breakfast, and they even had options for vegetarians! You can reserve a lunchbox for your adventures in the Footpaths of Hadrian's Wall for 10 pounds. The dinner was over the top. It was a big portion and cooked on the spot. It felt like a 5-star restaurant. I have the opportunity to return to do the Hadrian's Wall walk, I'll return to this hotel.

I have no complaints. The hotel met my expectations and more.

We are bikers and off street parking is always something we look for when choosing places to stay. The hotel had an excellent courtyard at the rear. As a bonus our rooms were actually little chalets which were also in the courtyard, so our bikes were practically right outside our door. The chalets have the bedrooms on a mezzanine floor, meaning the bathroom and separate sitting area are on the ground floor. Chalet 9 has a sauna too. A little dated but works perfectly well. Breakfast is excellent. A good choice of cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, full English, smoked salmon, avocado on toast, basically something for everyone. The evening meals looked good too, but we didn't eat at the hotel in the evenings, we were out and about. Our hosts and staff were more than welcoming.

We were a little disappointed that the hotel only had a small "hotel" bar, not really a place to gather and meet people in the evenings. But this is a very personal choice. I am a big fan of real ales and the Traditional British pub. Such establishments are only a short walk away from the hotel and so it didn't really detract anything from our stay.

A friendly welcome and easy parking in an off road carpark made a good start to the visit. The second floor room was very spacious as was the en-suite. Comfy beds, fluffy towels and heated tiled floor in the ensuite were all appreciated. All staff went out of their way to ensure everything was as it should be. Breakfast was plentiful, well cooked and well presented and the evening meals in the restaurant offered a, varying, wide choice, all flavourful and tasty.

Nothing.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Centre of Britain Hotel. I loved the character and quirkiness of the whole place and its situation on the main street. My room was lovely overlooking the market square and it had everything I needed. The breakfasts were superb in quality and quantity, the dinner choices varied and well cooked, you wouldn't go hungry here! Staff were great, helpful and pleasant and nothing too much trouble for them.

Friendly and helpful staff. There was a safe place to store our bicycles overnight. Evening meal was very tasty. Kitchen could cope with two veggies, one of whom is GF. We were in a courtyard room which was fun - bathroom and sitting area downstairs and beds upstairs.

Having heating on in room that couldn't be turned down/off. Managed to open window onto courtyard in the early morning which helped. (It was September - heating not needed!)

Delicious, breakfast,lots of choice.Very pleasant room to eat in. Owner was my waiter on first day.On second day the waitress,Angela was very efficient & pleasant.The owner,David,provided bus timetables,suggestions on how to spend an interesting day in the area,& was very amenable,& helpful. My room was delightful.Heated tile floors.Great shower.Bedroom with two single beds up carpeted stairs.Comfortable.

Nothing really.A very well maintained property

Everything. We had one of the self-contained rooms attached to the rear of the main hotel as we travelled with two dogs and the room gave us access to the outside via the rear courtyard and parking area. The bed (very comfortable indeed) was upstairs, with a living area and the bathroom below. Everything was spotless. There was a sauna, which we didn’t use. The staff were exceptionally helpful. Breakfast was lovely, plentiful, with a wide choice including vegetarian and vegan options. Haltwistle is a lovely, quiet little town, and the hotel was right in the centre - very conveniently located for activities eg visiting Hadrian’s Wall, but also not far from north-south motorways. For the dogs, there were lots of grassy areas to walk them in and around the town. We will be making the hotel a regular stop when travelling between England and Scotland.

Nothing.

We were a little later than intended arriving at the hotel, the member of staff on duty was so lovely - getting efficiently settled in the room, then straight in for dinner. No hurry, but got us where we needed to be swiftly. Strongly recommend dinner at the hotel restaurant, so good. We had a twin mezzanine room, the little seating area was hugely appreciated.

Nothing, it really suited our needs.

The room is one of the largest I have experienced in any hotel. The food cannot be faulted snd the staff are helpful and friendly. My wife and I have visited this hotel almost every year for the last decade. It is consistently excellent. Location for those seeking to visit the various historical sites on Hadrian's Wall could not be better

Nothing at all. The restoration of parts of the old tower is on going. Access to the rear car park woukd, I suspect, be challenging for owners of larger vehicles.
