Lovely quiet location next to river and good base for Hadrians wall visit. Food, breakfast and evening excellent. Staff brilliant. Room was ok and good access to take dog outside. Would say dogs tolerated rather than welcome as could only use a side room with her rather than bar area in general.

good old fashioned hospitality!
Home made Rabbit Stew after a day of rain and low cloud! Perfect. Came away with a Bacon Sandwich as I had to leave early. Great service all around. Didn't know it at the time but the Landord lets Electric Car users charge overnight

The property was located in beautiful surroundings and there was so many things to do and places to visit in the area too. Our whole stay felt very relaxed and chilled which was just what we wanted. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we found the bar area and restaurant to be very nice too. We had two meals in the bar which we really enjoyed and our Northumbrian breakfast was lovely too. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. We stayed in room no. 6 and our only criticism was that directly outside of our room on the ceiling around the light there were loads of dead flies which looked very unsightly and we were unable to use our kettle as the inside of it looked burnt as if soneone had perhaps let it boil dry, thr kettle needs to be replaced. Our overall stay was fantastic and we look forward to visiting again, thank you 👍😀

Great experience/great staff
Last minute booking for one-night only. Great Country-Inn - a place to escape to, as very rural. Slight problem on arrival was dealt with in a very friendly and professional manager by the two staff members. Ordered basic pub-grub and was extremely impressed with the quality - definitely 10/10 for food! Very quiet in the evening on the day I stayed, but this enabled me to chat with the staff and they were brilliant - friendly, professional and set me up with a make-shift breakfast as I had to leave very early the following day. Would not hesitate in recommending and will certainly stay again.
