Riverdale Hall Hotel

A country house hotel on the North Tyne at Bellingham, on the route out towards Kielder.

Bellingham sits roughly midway between Hexham and Kielder Water, making this a workable staging point for visitors splitting their time between the two. It's rated 4.4 on Google from over 500 reviews, and its leisure facilities go further than most hotels in the area, with a spa and sauna on site alongside a restaurant, bar and 24-hour reception. Family rooms and childcare are available, and there's a bridal suite and meeting rooms for weddings and small events. Dogs are welcome, and parking is free on site.
