Location perfect for walking and in a beautiful setting. We ate our evening meal here and had breakfast; the food was excellent 😊.

Unfortunately the walls seemed quite thin and we were next door to a very noisy group! We believe there were quite a few in their room between 8.30pm and 11pm. They also had a dog which was then barking due to them being noisy. This wasn’t the hotel’s fault but we were in bed and couldn’t hear the tv, we then switched it off but it was a while before we could get to sleep. I booked for my Husband’s birthday and as we own our own business we chose this location for the peace and quiet, I think we just dropped on a bad night.

Breakfast , in fact all the meals were amazing great selection and range of dishes. Friendly helpful staff. Its a great location surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The Roosters ! :) But i learnt after the first night to use earplugs that were provided and problem solved. I was puzzled by the cheese and biscuits in my room. I lifted the lid on the cheese dish and was surprised to see the cheese etc. However on the morning of my departure i lifted the lid to get a piece of cheese etc for the journey and only crumbs were left, do you have a ghost? I definitely did not eat it nor any members of my family,

This is a genuine 18th century inn that retains its atmosphere. It is not luxurious or plastic in any way and inside you can smell the woodsmoke from the open log fires. The hospitality from the owners was great and the food offered was generous and excellent. The bar has settles and both hand pulled real ales as well as modern beers. The rooms are simple but are en suite with a coffee machine and a welcome tray of cheese and cakes. This is one for the connoisseur of tradition and is not in any way a modern beige corporate hotel. I loved it!

Very little was wrong in light of my positive comments, however whilst the rooms were clean there were some of the maintenance issues in my room.

Coast to coast day 11. This was a really friendly and quite quirky place to stay. The food and the service were amazing, both for dinner and breakfast. Food was the best I had throughout the walk. I loved the little extra touches like the bread and cheese and the Eccles cake in the room.

The room was a little cold and the shower was a bit awkward and not great even when I did get it to work. The eggs for breakfast are as fresh as you could want from their own chickens but that does mean a chorus at 4am! However I did get back to sleep and they did provide complimentary earplugs.

This is our 2nd 2 night stay at the horseshoe hotel. Craig is a wonderful host, very welcoming. The log fires that are lit in the pub snug on a afternoon/ evening (season permitting), this year we had room.3, a standard double with en suite. Perfectly cosy and adequate. The room has a coffee machine, which can also make tea, tv, hair dryer, complimentary soaps and shampoo, and a little snack tray on arrival, cheese, bread and this time fresh fig roll cakes.

My only issues were: The corner near the sink, could do with a little corner shelf or something, as u had nowhere to rest my make up bag/ toiletries. I sleep on the right side, the room had 1 bedside time (on the left), as a glasses wearer, this meant I had to take chance with them on the floor 😬 maybe a little flip down shelf, or something similar for the right side sleeper. Like I say, little niggles. Definitely hasn't put me off, we're booked next year, in our previous deluxe

One of the best B&Bs on the Coast to Coast trail. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The beer garden provided a fantastic yet casual place to hang out to enjoy the B&Bs beautiful surroundings. The food offered in the beer garden, restaurant and during breakfast was superb. The chefs really seemed to cook from the heart as everything we ate was so well made. We appreciated the welcoming cakes and cheese in our room upon our arrival. The bed was comfortable. The room was very clean. Strong wifi for those who care.

Given the age of the building sound does travel. We appreciated the earplugs provided and had no trouble falling asleep.

Me and my partner was only here for one night and we found the staff are very friendly and welcoming. It's a relaxed and peaceful place, the surroundings, are very nice as the hotel is situated in a valley with a stream near by and surrounding trees, and it is a place where you can wind down and leave the rest of the chaotic world behind you. And if you love pets, this is definitely the place for you to be.The food is nice with traditional ales, and I think that I'd probably go there again only book a lot earlier and not last minute...other wise I liked the place.

The sleep was a bit uncomfortable as the mattress was lumpy.

Food is amazing. Service is amazing. Really friendly pub vibe downstairs with log fires and with exceptional food. The bread, cheese and cake in the room was a nice touch too. Will be returning without hesitation.

Decor needs a spruce up in places but it has a "vibe" that is somehow down to earth but interesting - in any case whatever you think of the decor the service, food and setting more than make up for it.

I'm travelling by bicycle from Germany, touring all British and Irish isles. So far, 759.6 Km travelled. I arrived with my Brompton and trailer here thanks to a lovely fellow, saving me from a downpour. The owner of the hotel was so kind to store my Brompton and trailer securely for me. This is a very serene place. Lovely interior, very kind staff, and cosy rooms. The food selections seem basic on the start, but they mostly have a very flavoursome twist. As a former chef myself, I wish more premises would dare to take on food classics in the same way. Overall, it was a great experience for me, and if I would not be on a cycle tour, I'd love to extend to stay for a few days! Thank you very much for a great stay and a trip uphill saving me from a great struggle

Nothing worth mentioning

We stayed at this hotel due to my son, partner and dog staying in late 2022 and recommended it to us and we stayed for two nights. The hotel is set in a beautiful area near to the River Esk and is a quaint 19th century building. There was a good choice of food for breakfast from toast, cereal to full English breakfast, which was tasty and a sausage for Millie, our dog. We had evening meal for the two nights we stayed. The food was excellent, but the choice on the menu might be limited for some, were they to stay longer. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful and had a good knowledge of the area. We enjoyed sitting by a real coal fire and having a relaxing pint in the evening. The room we stayed in was large with ensuite and most importantly clean. Last but least we loved seeing the chickens roaming around. Would we stay again? Yes most definitely. Thanks Craig for an enjoyable stay.
