The perfect little village Inn with a woodburner in the corner and a great view from the Dinner / Breakfast room. Part volunteer run as a community enterprise, a lot of work has gone in recently to completely modernise and make this a top stop over if you are heading N or S. Loads of nice little touches and a simple menu with good hearty country food at reasonable prices. Dont often leave reviews but this Country Inn / Pub was exactly what were looking for as we searched on the move. It also has a good outside seating are for a sunny days.

Lovely clean and modern rooms, friendly staff and lovely food and drinks all at a very reasonable price! Gorgeous breakfast with a stunning view of Northumberland, what a lovely little place and I highly recommend to anyone looking for reasonably priced accommodation!

Only thing was the front door lock is a little ‘dodgy’ and this was indicated to us upon check-in by the staff. I’d suggest repairing the door lock instead of advising guests to take a photo of the emergency numbers if the key doesn’t work. We were fortunate enough to check it before we left for the evening but it did make us a little anxious!

We loved seeing the framed pictures tell the story about how the community brought this place (back) to life. The room was very comfy, the breakfast was delicious and we loved the location. The location is perfect for stargazing - if you're lucky enough to get clear skies, unlike us - because it's on the corner of a road that just goes on and on through fields. Walk away a bit from the road and the houses and it's perfect for stargazing.

It would have been nice to get a heads-up from the staff to say we would be the only ones staying over that night. They have four rooms and appropriate signage asking guests to be quiet and considerate of other travellers. I inched up and down the creaky stairs when going out to smoke but then realized the next day I did it for no reason, as there wasn't anyone else staying overnight.

Our friends were getting married nearby so we stayed here the night before. The staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. It was actually during Storm Darragh and the staff blocked us rooms for the next night in case we had nowhere to stay due to local power cuts. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. We had the best nights sleep with no traffic or noise. The full english breakfast was lovely in the morning with tea, coffee and juice. The night before we had a few drinks in the bar, played pool, darts and chilled out.

This place / Pub is truly lovely and so are their people. My friend and I were ever so pleased with the way we were welcomed and looked after. The rooms are renovated and beautifully furnished and very comfortabel. Nothing one would miss. The food in the Pub is very tasty and good and the breakfast is great also and so are the views you get for free. The Gun sits right in the country, the views are spectacular. I will certainly recommend "THE GUN" to my friends and family.

I can´t think of anything

The staff was very welcoming and we felt like being part of an extended family. Community ownership really does make a difference. The food is excellent and there is more than enough choice for a short stay. Ridsdale has quite a bit of fairly recent local history worthwhile exploring.

Loved the location, surrounding views, and especially their story. Very friendly and accommodating staff, lovely dinner and breakfast. Easy parking. The room had everything a traveler needs along with a comfortable bed and linens. Although I was traveling solo, for breakfast they sat me close to the window at a table for 6 - presumably so I could enjoy the great views.

A lovely pub with friendly staff, in an amazing location. The views over breakfast were fantastic. Small menu choice for dinner but food cooked perfectly, delicious. Very good breakfast. I would happily stay there longer, warmly recommend. Plenty of parking. Clean and comfortable. Thank you.

What a fabulous community pub/hotel this is. The hotel has the most amazing views of beautiful countryside and the staff (who are volunteers) were so helpful and friendly. The rooms we spacious and lovely and clean with really comfortable beds. We had a evening meal and breakfast... both of which were delicious! We had a wonderful stay here and we'll definitely be back!

Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond. Comfortable bed, good bedding, thick carpets, well fitted shower room, water hot. Everything appears brand new and is spotlessly clean. Pub area downstairs to same standards as rooms and warm, welcome ambience. Very tasty breakfast cooked to order. Just faultless.
