Hexham Hotels: Where to Stay in Northumberland

Looking for hotels in Hexham? This Northumberland market town sits close to Hadrian’s Wall, and the choice of lodging is smaller than most visitors expect. We checked every property from the old version of this guide against current listings. Four hotels passed. One apartment listing did not pass, so we dropped the listing. We also found a newer budget hotel in the town centre. We quote no rates here because prices change daily. Use the Expedia link below to see live availability, and phone any hotel to confirm details before you book.

Hotels in Hexham: What Is Open Now

The Beaumont Hotel: Central Hotels in Hexham Beside the Abbey

The Beaumont stands on Beaumont Street, Hexham, NE46 3LT. Visit Hexham calls the Beaumont an independent townhouse hotel with a restaurant serving local seasonal produce and a bar for drinks and coffee. Hotels.com and Expedia agree on the address and the main facilities.

Both booking sites list check-in from 4 PM to 10 PM and check-out at 11 AM. Reception hours are listed as 7 AM to 10 PM, so plan a late arrival with care. The listings show a restaurant, a bar, a snack bar, a terrace, laundry service and free Wi-Fi. Parking is free but spaces are limited. Only service animals are accepted, so pet owners should look elsewhere.

Expedia places the hotel about a one-minute walk from Hexham Abbey, the Queen’s Hall Arts Centre and the Market Place. Expedia also lists Hexham railway station as an 11-minute walk. We could not reach the hotel’s own website, so phone the hotel to confirm hours and room types.

The County Hotel: A Town Centre Hotel Near the Station

The County Hotel is on Priestpopple, Hexham, NE46 1PS. The hotel’s own website gives the phone number as 01434 608444 and lists seven en-suite bedrooms. The site also shows a large restaurant, a bar with real ales, a function room, free Wi-Fi and wheelchair access.

Expedia and Hotels.com list check-in from 2 PM to 11:30 PM and check-out at 11 AM. Both list breakfast as free and parking as free. Expedia places the hotel about 3 to 5 minutes on foot from the Market Place and the Abbey. The railway station is about a 6-minute walk.

The older version of this guide called the County a contemporary hotel with a polished bar. The hotel’s own site paints a simpler picture, with a traditional bar and a family restaurant. Expect a pub-style hotel with a few rooms, not a large property. Ask about parking and breakfast when you phone.

The George Hotel at Chollerford: Where to Stay Near Chesters Roman Fort

The George Hotel is not in Hexham town. The address is the B6318 near Chollerford and Humshaugh, NE46 4EW. Expedia and Kayak both use this postcode. The older guide placed the hotel in central Hexham, and this was wrong.

Expedia lists check-in from 3 PM to 10:30 PM and check-out at 10 AM. Kayak lists check-in after 3 PM and check-out before 10 AM. Kayak counts 47 rooms and a 24-hour reception. Both list a restaurant, a bar, a garden, a terrace, free parking and free Wi-Fi. Expedia says dogs are welcome. Kayak says pets are allowed on request, so confirm the policy by phone.

Expedia places the hotel about 0.6 miles from Chesters Roman Fort and about 3 minutes by car from Northumberland National Park. The same page lists a 10-minute drive to Hexham Abbey. We treat these distances as one source. We could not reach the hotel’s own website, so we have no confirmed phone number.

Langley Castle Hotel: A Castle Stay Outside Hexham

Langley Castle Hotel sits at Langley on Tyne, Hexham, NE47 5LU. The hotel’s website gives the phone as 01434 688 888 and lists the email reception@langleycastle.com. Visit Hexham says the hotel stands in a private 10-acre woodland estate with 27 guest rooms. Hotels.com also counts 27 rooms.

The hotel’s site lists Castle Rooms with four-poster beds, Castle View rooms, Castle Lodge rooms and the Toll Bar Luxury Villa. The villa is a self-catering retreat with two bedrooms. Dining includes Josephine Restaurant, the Pavilion and the Drawing Room, which also serves afternoon tea. The site lists a dog-friendly policy.

Hotels.com lists check-in from 3 PM to 11 PM and check-out at 11 AM. The front desk is listed as open from 7:30 AM to 11 PM. The hotel’s own page does not list times, so confirm them by phone. Visit Northumberland names Langley Castle among its luxury and unique places to stay.

Travelodge Hexham: A Newer Budget Choice Near the Station

Travelodge opened its Hexham hotel in 2022 in the Budget Luxe style. The company says the hotel stands in the town centre near the railway station, with 69 rooms and a Bar Cafe. Visit Hexham also lists the hotel and says breakfast and evening meals are served in the cafe and bar.

We did not find a street address, check-in times or a phone number from a source we could trust. Use the Travelodge booking page for those details. This is the only chain hotel we found in the town centre.

Where to Stay in Hexham for Hadrian’s Wall

Hexham makes a useful base for Hadrian’s Wall. Visit Northumberland says the Wall country includes Corbridge Roman Town, Vindolanda, Housesteads Roman Fort and Chesters Roman Fort. Hexham itself has Hexham Abbey, Hexham Old Gaol and Sele Park, along with pubs, galleries and independent shops.

Vindolanda sits at Bardon Mill, NE47 7JN, and its site lists a phone number of 01434 344277. The site shows two museums, the Roman Vindolanda Fort and the Roman Army Museum. The site also lists free 45-minute guided tours in 2026. We did not find a sourced drive time from Hexham, so check a map before you plan the day.

Visit Northumberland says Corbridge is a riverside walk or short drive from Hexham. The same guide says Blanchland is about a 20-minute drive away. Haltwhistle is the closest town to the central section of the Wall.

Motels and Budget Stays Near Hexham

Hexham has no true roadside motels in our research. The closest match is the Travelodge in the town centre. Visit Hexham also lists a large pub with rooms above, renovated in 2023, but the page does not name the pub. We left the pub out because we cannot confirm a name or rooms.

Visit Hexham also lists country bed and breakfasts near the Wall, including Loughbrow House and Rye Hill Farm. We have not verified their rooms or hours, so treat these as leads, not recommendations. Phone each place before you plan around the stay.

Which Properties We Dropped From the Old Guide

The old version of this guide listed Stays on the Hill, The Coach House. We could not reach its website, and no other source confirmed the apartment. We removed the listing. If you see the name elsewhere, confirm the booking by phone.

We also corrected several claims. The old guide put the County Hotel on the outskirts of town, and the listings place the hotel near the Market Place. The old guide put the George in central Hexham, and the address is at Chollerford. The old guide also promised free breakfast at Langley Castle. We found no source for a free breakfast there, so we left the claim out.

How to Choose a Hotel in Hexham

Match the hotel to your plan. For a car-free trip, pick the Beaumont, the County or the Travelodge. All three stand within a short walk of the Abbey, the Market Place or the station, according to the sources above. Hexham has a railway station, so the town itself needs no car.

For Roman sites, consider the George at Chollerford. The hotel is the closest of the group to Chesters Roman Fort. For a special occasion, look at Langley Castle. The castle suits couples and history fans who want a quiet estate setting. Families with dogs should ask each hotel about its pet policy, since the Beaumont accepts only service animals.

Book early for summer and for weekends. Hexham has few hotels, so rooms can run short in busy weeks. Ask about late arrival when your train or flight lands after dark, since reception hours vary.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked the Beaumont, the County, the George and Langley Castle against at least two sources each. We used the County and Langley Castle websites, Visit Hexham, Visit Northumberland, Expedia, Hotels.com, Kayak and Travelodge’s own news page. The Beaumont and George sites blocked our check, so their phone numbers are unconfirmed.

We quote no prices. We could not verify current check-in times for Travelodge. Distances come from Expedia listings and may use a different starting point than your map. Treat every time and distance as a guide, and call to confirm.
