Lovely location and the garden rooms have views across the rear to the river Tyne. The room was warm and comfortable and breakfast was good quality and well cooked. The nearby village was an easy walk either along the road or the riverside and I would recommend a walk to the waterfall. Would stay again if in the area. The only negative was that the hotel suffered s power cut on our departure morning and there was no hot water. While I appreciate this was not the fault of the hotel I would expect an apology for our inconvenience.

We stayed here for two nights 9th-11th of November. We swam in the pool and dined in the restaurant both nights. Our room was spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will return.

What a nice, friendly hotel on the outskirts of Bellingham. The food is amazing and the bar is surprisingly well stocked. The very helpful staff make this place stand out from the rest. Well worth a visit.

Not 5* luxury but clean, comfortable and lovely setting. Very good restaurant for dinner and great breakfasts. Some staff young and inexperienced but any little glitch fixed quickly and with a smile overall though, really friendly and helpful staff happy to help. Recommended.

We were staying elsewhere but had 3 evening meals at The Riverdale. The restaurant there was excellent. A menu that varied daily with lots of choice, delicious food each time and staff that were efficient and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

Pros: Nice rooms, relatively clean. Warm swimming pool. Comfy bed. Close to local amenities and attractions. Lovely food. Welcoming reception.
Cons: Filthy remote and dusty shelves. Shower dribbles on you. Bath has tiny flies landing in it each day without windows open. Hit and miss dining service, sometimes felt overlooked. Sauna was out of use, swimming pool water was cloudy.

We stayed here for 3 nights in an apartment with our 2 dogs. Apartment was basic but had everything we needed. Double bed was hard though and the pillows were really soft. I would come back though but would bring pillows from home. We went to the restaurant and the staff and food were lovely.

We were a group of 8 cyclists staying 1 night on the last leg of The Sandstone Way.
The staff were very friendly and helpful in all respects.
We had dinner and breakfast and the food was excellent.
We had use of the swimming pool which was much needed after 6 hours of riding.
The accommodation was very nice, clean and well appointed.
All in all a very pleasurable stay.
