BE AWARE THIS PLACE IS SHUT. But they are still taking bookings. I phoned the local post office to confirm the Knowesgate Inn was closed and in a state of disrepair and has been for about 6 months. They are still advertising on booking.com and Oyo.com 

BE AWARE THIS PLACE HAS CLOSED

I cannot comment on the actual hotel as they  cancelled our booking at 7pm the night before we were due to stay, no explanation or alternative offered -1st time staying with OYO and definitely the last. 

Trip ruined as hotel was cancelled by OYO night before our stay stay

This 'hotel' has been closed for a month (at least) according to the man in the adjacent but unconnected petrol station. According to locals it was closed for many years, bought by new owners, possibly opened and then very soon closed again. It is (June '23) two steps up from derelict.

This hotel is closed - unoccupied

I booked this “hotel” through Expedia around six months ago. I am on a walking holiday across Northumberland and this place was they only stopover in the area. The reviews looked pretty dire but beggars cannot be choosers! We set off from Hexham on the anointed day and two hours walking from the “hotel” we received an e mail saying the booking had been cancelled due to “unavoidable circumstances “. I called OYO and after a long conversation the employee basically told me that there was nothing she could do - usual platitudes of understanding my problems and very sorry etc etc. the “hotel” is in the middle of nowhere- no buses, trains - no other accommodation at all. This is the worst hotel experience that I have ever had -  how can you treat people like this and expect them to be happy and say nothing! 
This place is clearly going nowhere under this owner and I suspect will close. OYO should be a little more focused on who they allow to be franchisees within their group. 
Just for the irony OYO stands for On Your Own - well at the Knowesgate “Hotel” we really were!

Worst Hotel Experience of My Lufe

DO NOT BOOK! I booked on booking.com but was advised by family in the area that the hotel is CLOsED. I have not  had a resolution to my request for full refund., the contact numbers don’t work, and I have stayed elsewhere 

Do NOT BOOK

Absolutely Disgusting..  Blood on my friends sheets, dirty table cloths from the days before. Rooms not as described,  We asked for early breakfast as we were running the Great North Run but no one around when we came down so helped ourselves to some cereal.. out of date milk in the fridge... Luckily we were only there for less than 10 hours.. Wouldnt go back if they paid us..!!!

Disgusting

Needed somewhere to stay for the night after a long day's driving,  happened upon the Knowesgate.  Almost empty inside, they said they could accommodate us and as nowhere else near,  we booked in. Unfortunately the room looked tired, needs a lick of paint. Bath towel on the bed was damp and lukewarm water out of both hot and cold taps. Restaurant serving Indian food was okay, clean bar but hand pumps not working. Given sheet to order breakfast (7:30-8:30) although bar menu said 8:00-10:00. As we wanted an early start said 7:30. Up ready for breakfast 7:30 - no-one around and our breakfast order still in reception area. Only stay here if absolutely desperate.

Cheap NOT Cheerful

Can’t get away with no stars!!!

I’ve slept in better bushes in my garden! This place is the funnest place you’ve ever stop it’s it just so diseased it is hilarious. I really just don’t know where to start! 

Warning do not stop only if you would like a wood screw and mouse poo in your bed, cold air and traffic due to window not being connected to the building, toilet cleaning you while having a wee, poo stains looking at you while on toilet!!!

POSITIVE- all drinks same price and pool table is start! 

*** PLEASE DO NOT STOP ***

HELL HOLE

Any positive reviews are very old, its a complete dump, old and worn out, bathroom a disgrace. Breakfast a joke unless you like cold baked beans and cold fried eggs, not just gone cold not attempt to keep it warm.  We were told our TV was broken it had fell off the wall and been put back, they said it would be repaired but no attempt made.  Returned late on and unpluged it at the wall as thought it a fire risk. Curtains mouldy and ripped base of bedroom chair, probably rodents.  Paintwork bubbling from the damp.  Should I go on.  A lovely Belgium couple  had booked through bookings.com and I felt ashamed to be English. Should not be listed anywhere.

Not find for a human to stay there.

The booking was made a long time ago as part of a trip to walk the St Oswald's Way. Only yesterday a message was received asking if we were still coming on Saturday. We confirmed yes we were. 24hrs later a message was received to say due to unforeseen circumstances our booking was cancelled leading to great inconvenience as there is no accommodation in that area available.  As it was a walking trip with specific venues on the way the first day of the trip has had to be cancelled and at expense to us train tickets one way no longer needed losing the fare and having to rebook everything. Furious about this does not hack it. They must have known some time ago that they would be closed. The chain is OYO so look out fellow travellers - how does this company treat its customers sending messages asking if you are still coming then cancelling the next day!

The Hotel is closed but they ask if we are still coming and advice they are taking payment
