The place is full of character and history. It has its own story to tell. It is spotlessly clean and welcoming. Our room was really sophisticated , yet very comfortable at the same time. It’s very much a country pub- the local shooting party were just meeting back up from their day and looked very smart! The location was great as we were on our way up to Scotland and within a reasonable distance from the motorway. Food in the evening was great and the breakfast was excellent. Staff were really friendly.

This is a beautiful property with so much character! We loved the log burning fires, traditional decor and our beautiful room! The food was superb and service was excellent. The restaurant area is lovely and my son was thrilled with the pool table in the lounge area! Our room was quite cool in the evening as the radiator thermostat had been turned down prior to us staying but the owner very quickly sorted a fan heater for us which soon warmed the room up. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

The sofa beds in the room were not comfortable. They look lovely but there’s no mattress so they weren’t nice to sleep on.

Friendly and helpful hosts, a lovely clean family room with a bath and shower, the best breakfast and excellent decor.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Cleanliness of room. Comfortable beds. Nice bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. Excellent supply of clean towels. Superb breakfast. Character and charm of building. Spacious carpark. Idyllic and peaceful location. Reasonable prices and excellent value for money.

Small cramped room. However, it is recognised that this is due to the historic nature of the building. It was simly a minor inconvenience which, for a one night stay, did not affect the enjoyment of our experience.

This place is as reviews mention a Gem. Please don't be put off that it's off the beaten track you will not be disappointed. Arrived and greeted by Sam who invited us in checked us in and gave us information needed for our stay. We booked dinner so went to room to freshen up. The food was outstanding the atmosphere was nice with plenty of places to sit. I don't like crowds so found a nice sofa by the fire place providing space and quietness as there was entertainment on however not too loud but I we choose to sit away. The Ambience is lovely. Our room was lovely clean a good size we were very impressed. Had travelled south up heading home and had stayed in several places this one out did all the others I'm afraid so I cannot recommend enough your be very impressed. We had breakfast lots of choice helping ourself to tea coffee and juices and cereal. All staff spoke to us we felt comfortable on our one night stay. We will definitely stay again Thankyou to all staff.

Large room, tasteful decor, everything you need in the room for an overnight stop. Bathroom positively luxurious! Had a bath and a separate shower unit. Breakfast was high standard with great choice and dinner at the pub was good. Lovely, historic pub with a cosy welcoming feel. Lovely young woman on Reception and assisting generally around the inn. Lovely welcoming smile throughout my stay. She's definitely an asset to the owners being helpful and professional, without being intrusive.

Nothing I can think of.

Very friendly staff, and a great place to stay in the depths of winter! The room was great, with plenty of space and there were a couple of cosy public lounges/reading areas and books to borrow. Lovely bar and restaurant (Inc log fire!) with great food. Great breakfast too!

For me, I wasn't sure of the area and as I was driving at night and in rain, I found it a little hard to find and missed a turning on the first night. It wouldn't put me off staying again, though!

We found this hotel by chance when I was looking for a stop over on our way to Skye from the south of England. It is a short drive from the motorway, but when you arrive, it is absolute paradise. It is an old stopover coach house, and has been beautifully extended and decorated. If you are looking for a true English stopover complete with fabulous food, friendly staff, comfortable rooms, beautiful scenery, then this is your choice! When I say true English, I mean a quintessentially quaint English pub, with original features. Everywhere you look there is something of interest, be it humorous pictures, old beams, slightly leaning walls…. It is a gem of a place. Totally recommend it!

There is not a lift, but our elderly parents managed the short flight of stairs up to their rooms, no problem.

Breakfast room was beautiful- a real effort had been made to make this room extra special for guests staying , lights, lovely table wear, cushions. Homely feel. Self service on hot and cold drinks. Then the menu was anything from toast and marmalade to a full fry up. Whatever you want Colin who is the owner would do what he could to accommodate. It’s a golden gem !! I needed an early check in this was no issue. I needed internet for work, as it’s in a rural location I wasn’t sure if this was going to be a problem - of course it wasn’t. I had an excellent experience and will book again. Thank you

Honestly, for me anyway the perfect place to stay. Quiet, comfy, accommodating I genuinely don’t have any negatives. Free parking added bonus, I have an electric car and nearest EV charge point is about 3miles away. Again perfect. 15 minutes to Carlisle and local to Hadrians Wall.

Friendly warm welcome on arrival. Anything and everything was no trouble to the staff to help. This is an old coaching inn with the atmosphere and decor to go with it, not a modern, sterile chain type hotel. My son and I made an impromptu couple of days away, we looked online for a Hotel and found this Gem!! We had a fantastic trip, walking Hadrians wall, visiting Museums and castles on both sides of the border. Food and drinks at the Hotel were superb and breakfast was a stand out for us. Highly recommend 👌
