Lovely hotel rooms - clean and spacious, friendly staff and food to die for. Not just quality but amount and at a very reasonable price. None of your Nouveau Cuisine here. Home made and plenty of it. Judging by the number of local people dining too, it is a very popular place. Despite being close to a busy road, it... more

We had a really lovely lunch at the Bowes Incline, Northside, Gateshead, Tyne & Wear on Bank Holiday Monday. The bar food, which has an extensive menu, was delicious and reasonably priced, with some meals costing less than £5, the service was excellent and the very friendly staff offer a warm Geordie welcome making it a pleasure to eat there.... more

Stayed on a Friday night, roomas are boutique style, really modern bathroom with fiant shower and toiletries provided. Tea and coffee tray with biscuits, alarm clock and remote tv on wall. No hairdryer though, unless it was hiding. Bed was comfy with good pillows and soft linen. We spent the night in the bar restaurant, fantastic bar meal, but they... more

My partner and myself travelled up to the North East for a family wedding and chose the Bowes Incline as a central base near to all the various sites we needed - wedding venue, family etc. Having chosen it purely for practical reasons, I must say that I am glad we did - the staff were friendly, the rooms comfortable... more

I have just recived the worst service in my whole life at what can only be described as Basil Fawlty style customer care. The Manager (but likes to think of himself as owner) has discraced myself and my family who were out for sunday lunch together, in front of other customers and staff. His words "I have not got time"... more

This hotel wouldn't be the first to spring to mind when staying on Tyneside but it has lots to recommend it. Although it overlooks the main A1 carriageway and has a postal address in the village of Birtley, it's actually approached from the A1 traveling south - on a no-through road off the Eighton Banks road to Wrekenton. A bit... more

Situated very close to one of the North East's premier tourist attractions, the Angel of the North, and adjacent to the A1(M) the Bowes Incline is a family run hotel with everything anyone could need for a short break in the Newcastle/Sunderland/Durham area. Recently refurbished and upgraded, the rooms at the Bowes Incline are extremely comfortable, well furnished and decorated... more

Our stay at this hotel was very enjoyable indeed. It is just 5 minutes off the A1 near Gateshead but with a country feel to it. The double room was of a very high standard with an excellent bathroom to match. The rooms are all in a single story building with a choice of overlooking the Team Valley (and Angel... more
