Room was comfortable, breakfast sets you up for the day and whilst you may have to wait a little at night with the restaurant, the homemade food on offer with a good menu is delicious. Really welcome hosts.

Excellent 2 night stay. All staff extremely friendly and welcoming. This is an old property with old property problems, features and character; that said, our room was perfect for our needs, clean and comfortable. Our host Chris was friendly and seemed as though he would go out of his way to make your stay just right. Ate in pub both nights and the home cooked food by Bev was wonderful. You order breakfast, if you want it, the night before; we had basic breakfasts which were a good price and exactly what we wanted. Locals in the pub were friendly and along with Chris and Bev chatted and recommended places to go in the bar after food. A lovely stay overall. Thank You.

Spur of the moment

We were on our way back from a job in Carlisle and was looking for reasonably priced B&B/Hotel for 1 night. Lovely old pub just off the A1, Staff are friendly, the food was great including the breakfast that set us up for the long drive home next day.

Beats bland chain hotels by a country mile

Lovely family run pub in very quiet location with rooms and great home made meals. Easy reach of A1M and A19. Very welcoming after long day and very sociable. Brilliant cooked breakfast and lovely to see a community pub so popular with the locals.
