This historic stone-built hotel, with its attractive ivy-clad facade, occupies an unbeatable riverfront location on the pretty North Tyne River. The George is an easy drive from Newcastle, and is an ideal base for a relaxing retreat, with comfortable rooms and lounges with free Wi-Fi and a delightful restaurant designed to make the most of the river views as you drink and dine. Take a walk in the beautiful grounds and gardens with their water features and colourful plants or enjoy the excellent leisure club where you can work out or unwind in the swimming pool, gym, hot tub or sauna. Fly fishing is another popular local pastime, with permits available from the hotel.
