Northumberland's hotels are renowned for their historic charm, and the George Hotel is a prime example. This picturesque stone building dates back to the 18th century and boasts a prime location on the North Tyne River, near Hadrian's Wall and a short walk from Chesters Roman Fort. It's an ideal base for exploring this beautiful corner of England.
