Negative Reviews
negative:
Things can get noisy
If you are looking for a quiet night's sleep this might not be the spot for you. One side of this property faces the A1, where traffic runs day and night and a busy street runs along the other side of the property, although the traffic noise on the road is a bit less invasive.
negative:
There's no Wi-Fi in the guest rooms
There's no Internet connection available in the guest rooms which can be a hassle if you're travelling on business, trying to get an email out in a hurry or just want to stay connected on your phone and other devices. Luckily, the hotel does provide free Wi-Fi in the public spaces.
negative:
Not a central location
Bowes Incline Hotel is not centrally located and you must drive to most of the restaurants, shops and tourist attractions that you are keen to visit.
