An very good one night stay, the food was excellent in the bar - including breakfast.

The room was clean & tidy, but so small & cold - when we arrived the room window had been left open so was very cold and the one radiator in the bedroom struggled to get the room warmed up....... it felt chilly all night, but the bed did feel cold all night too. The TV remote only worked when stood right in front of the TV, I tried to warm the batteries but that didn't work. There was tea & coffe making facilities but there was no milk, we didn't realise until the morning. My wife went downstairs to try an get some but there was nobody about until they opened for breakfast...... we didn't realise there was a shop round the corner until we were leaving. The price was very good - but you do get what you pay for, I would try it again, but only for one night.

The location is lovely, very old 17th Coaching House surrounded by lovely walks. Food was delicious. Both the lady and gentleman that own it were very approachable and friendly.

Pub was all locked up when we arrived, after a few minutes a gentleman came out to meet us. There was a mobile number in the window to contact but we missed it. We weren't aware there were quite steep, external, stone steps to some of the rooms, again not too much of a problem but could be for some people. Although the cooked breakfast food was delicious, I was really taken back that the choice of beverages was simply tea or coffee...I don't drink either and for £10 per person I had to provide my own fresh orange. For a two night stay, again not a deal breaker but an alternative fresh juice for breakfast would have been fab.

The hosts, Tyrone & Jennifer were warm, friendly and so kind! We had been cycling the Coast 2 Coast all day and were exhausted and couldn’t wait to get to our room. I left booking kind of late and all that was left was the Bothy room, which I wasn’t sure how we’d fit. To our delight, it was the perfect size for two cyclists. It was Spartan clean with the most comfortable beds & duvets & plenty of hot water for showers. (Tyrone kindly locked our bikes in a secure garage overnight - such a peace of mind!) After a shower and a nap, we went to their pub and ate delicious, home-cooked food that literally made me do a happy dance in my seat! I’m already thinking of planning a future trip to come back (maybe hiking this time).

Honestly, I have nothing negative to say.

Myself and my daughter were undertaking the coast to coast cycle challenge. We arrived in Weardale wet and tired after a full days cycling. We were received at the coach house with a fantastic warm welcome. It was exactly what we needed. Some lovely home cooked food in the attached pub on the evening (Golden Lion) and a cooked breakfast the next morning set us up for the final leg of our challenge. The hosts were very friendly and had local information about the route, which was really helpful. If we ever pass through Weardale again we would look to see them again.

Perfect location for the C2C, especially considering not a lot around that part of the route. Had bike storage too. Couple than run it were really friendly and the pub had a nice local vibe. Food and breakfast on site too. Not gourmet but decent pub food.

No wifi in the accommodation, which wasn’t actually an issue for us as 4G seemed to stretch but could have been problematic for foreign guests. There is wifi in the pub itself though

The location was perfect, just on the edge of the village and a stone’s throw from walks along the River Wear & the Weardale way. The Staff & owners could not have given a warmer welcome and been anymore attentive. Full English breakfast was a cracking way to start the day the following morning to. Great value for money.

If I was to be picky the TV was very small, but hey the view out the window was gonna be so much more addicting than what was on tv.

Excellent location in the heart of some great country. We stayed for two nights whilst on a cycling trip and the location was ideal. Staff could not have been more helpful and the room was just what we needed. We got the bunk room which was great for us.

Breakfast was lovely a solid cooked one, nicely done and good size. A pot of tea a bonus along with cereals and toast.

If breakfast had been in with the price as well rather than an extra. On the booking.com page it is charged more than what it actually costs which seems strange? The pub alarm went off at 11pm and took some time for owners to return to for the alarm to switch off or to reset but no big deal.

Wonderful stay while completing the C2C. Very good location just off the main C2C route. Fantastic hosts, lovely pub, and delicious food that was very welcomed after a long day of cycling from Penrith. Will definitely be returning!

When we arrived we was greeted with a friendly welcome, the room was nice and comfortable.. The food in the bar was good as well as the breakfast in the morning...very friendly pub. Will definitely stay again if up that way
