An enjoyable and relaxed stay. Old property with some interesting rustic features, but the absence of any drawer storage in the room was a problem. Good breakfast. Evenig meal menu was limited, not offering a great choice of normal English fare for an older couple.

The room I was allocated was a single bed in a what I can only describe as a converted shed at the rear of the property. Damp and very cramped .. with the toilet 2 feet from your headboard .. awful smell of sewer as well .. £90!? Not worth that at all .. will not return.

Good selection of well kept ales. Beautiful views from garden, Very friendly helpful staff. But the breakfast…WOW fantastic !!! 😁

Fantastic location room and staff

This tiny Inn is definitely worth a visit! The new owners were very friendly and welcoming and the room was comfortable and very clean. The history of the building meant that the bar is tiny, but very welcoming - we spent a great evening drinking and chatting with locals. No food available on the first night, but the owners were happy to recommend and book somewhere for us to eat. Their kitchen was open the second night and the quality was excellent. Steak was very well cooked and the homemade fries were lovely. Breakfast was really good - large portions and quality ingredients. The new owners have made a great start and have plans to improve the Inn - I just hope they don’t spoil its unique charm and character (but after speaking with them, I’m sure they won’t!)

Friendly staff, great service and very very nice food!

Very comfortable bed and the best food.. The owners/staff were fantastic. Very welcoming and helpful.

We had a fabulous 4 night stay at the Holly Bush. As soon as we stepped into the pub, we received a warm greeting from the new owners and staff. The pub is at the heart of the community and welcomes a mix of both locals and guests, which makes it a special place to stay. Everyone seems relaxed and happy to chat to each other which makes for a really pleasant atmosphere. The chef is excellent and cooks a variety of dishes which he constantly updates. We were so impressed that we ate there every evening. There was a great choice of well kept local ales. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we slept well every night. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Welcoming bar staff. Friendly locals. No food being served on the night of my visit but I’d been advised in advance. The room was great for me but I think would be small for two people

Holly bush is great. The evening meal was delicious proper Northumbrian fare. The staff were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Our only negative was that the breakfast took ages to come out, but guess we got them on a bad day.

A very warm welcome from staff and locals who were in the pub. The accommodation was good, comfortable and cosy and the food was excellent!!

Amazing stay, comfortable room and quiet as seperate to pub. Friendly staff and great choice for breakfast. Well cooked and tasty food available in the evenings. .

Very comfortable

Great staff and food l9vely room

Amazing hospitality and welcoming. Couldn’t do more for us at breakfast. The perfect stopover. Highly recommend.

Made to feel very welcome from the point of checkin, a wonderful warm welcome from the huge fire as well, we stayed in the gatehouse room , which is absolutely beautiful, and huge , very comfortable room, comfortable bed, and a huge shower, the room was lovely and warm. Our evening meal was delicious, and we were really looked after by a wonderful waitress. Who honestly went above and beyond to look after everyone. Our breakfast next morning was also delicious, and again the waitress was a wonderful lady who really looked after us. This is our 2nd stay at Hollybush and we will definitely be going back .

Among all of the wonderful inns and hotels we’ve visited, this is possibly our favorite. Kirsten and Tim and the entire staff were great. Thank you so much!

Comfortable large room, inn was full of character, warm and welcoming staff, great breakfast.

Friendly staff; good service, decent cooked breakfast with extra's. Evening meal with frequent changes of menu. Was looking forward to the Rievers Pie but not available on our one night visit. On street parking outside front entrance. Large outdoor seating area at the rear overlooking the moors. beautiful but unfortunately it was cold, cloudy and some drizzle. We had the Highgreen room overlooking the front entrance on the upper floor. Comfortable but the double bed was a little too small for us. Think a Kingsize would fit in ok in my opinion. Good pressure shower. Glad we stayed. Lovely spot on the moors.

We can not fault anything, it was absolutely beautiful, we stayed in the gatehouse room which was incredible and extremely comfortable, the inn it’s self is so cosy and it’s definitely the friendliest inn that we have been in, the food was 10 out 10 the views from the beer garden where beautiful, the staff where so lovely and nothing is too much for them, they just want to look after you. It’s in an outstanding area and not for from the beautiful Kielder forest. We can not wait to go back for a longer stay
