Lovely traditional Inn in a superb location and our welcome was very warm and friendly. Our room was nicely spacious, clean, well appointed and we were particularly impressed with the lack of any external noise. The atmosphere in the bar/dining area was very attractive with a lovely traditional old school feel and the owners and staff were very warm and helpful with nothing being too much trouble. Our evening meal was of a high quality in terms of taste, quantity and presentation so hats off to all concerned including the kitchen staff. We also found the prices to be very reasonable. The location is easy to get to and in an attractive landscape that has the advantage of being very close to a number of sites associated with Hadrian's Wall as well as being on the Hadrian's Wall footpath. For those not on foot it is a very handy distance from the amenities of Newcastle. This was a fairly last minute booking but we think we've found a bit of a gem and will certainly be returning.

Proprietor was very accommodating, flexible and nice. Atmosphere on main floor is wonderful as you'd expect in a tavern built in 1752. Large bedroom with coffeee/tea service. Liked that drinks and food were so accessible by going downstairs. Amazingly good and rare location for trekking Hadrian's path.

Hard to regulate heat in room, control on radiator unclear, so had to balance with open window as in a lot of places. Double bed is actually two singles pushed together, which makes it hard to actually use as a double. Again, a very common situation in my European experience.

Excellent attentive staff greeted us warmly on arrival and provided all the information we required. The attractive bedroom was spacious and warm. We had a lovely dinner in the the comfortable bar area which had an open fire, and which was dressed for Christmas. The bar had a good choice of beers.

Everything was to our liking. And we look forward to returning again, as it would be a great area to explore as the inn is close to Hadrian’s Wall.

Downstairs is the pub and restaurant. The food is very good. The atmosphere much fun and the staff friendly. Beds were comfortable. We were Four senior ladies hiking HAdrian's wall. This was a very convenient place to stay as it's right on the path.

One of the rooms was too tiny- it had twin beds, but no place to hang clothes or put your suitcases. The other room was very large and lovely with a sitting area as well as twin beds. That's the room you want!

A wonderful pub with rooms - My wife and I stayed for one night as we attended a wedding nearby. The hosts Kath and Billy were really nice and very helpful and we had a lovely breakfast cooked by the lovely Jo. The setting is wonderful and would also appeal to those wanting to walk Hadrian's Wall. They also cater for occasional campers. We have a motorhome and often need a stop over place so we will definitely return as the location is super. Overall a really super place with lovely people who do their best to make your stay as good as it can be. 10 out of 10! Thank You

Everything was wonderful - I full recommend this place

Stayed here for one night when walking the Hadrian's Wall path. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size with bath and shower. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and nicely done. The bar had a very traditional feel with good beer on tap. We ate in the restaurant which served good pub food. My steak and chips was excellent and perfectly cooked.

We had a wonderful stay, our final stop off whilst walking Hadrian's Wall. We were well looked after by all staff, Louise who showed us to our room was a delight! We had a carvery in the evening, with a few drinks in the sunshine, then full English the next morning before we set off for our final day walking.

Stylish country decor and very comfortable beds. Spacious room, very clean. Dinner was high quality , nice variety of meals available.

Tea making in the room - either a pot is needed with the existing cups or larger mugs with no teapot. For breakfast we would prefer smaller quantities of cooked breakfast and options of cereal and fruit.

Arrived here during our walk along Hadrians Wall. We were giving a bigger room with a bath so we could have a soak. Room was large with a beautiful window overlooking the fields. Dinner was lovely and plenty of beers on tap. Breakfast was amazing. Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling to well so didn’t eat a lot. Would def recommend as a stop over on trail.

Nothing

Breakfast excellent - very generous portions. Could perhaps have had a cereal offering Location was good regarding general position but situation on a fast road meant that it could be quite noisy late evening or early morning affecting sleep.

Very little - see box above
