A very busy pub, very helpful staff, the room was very impressive, comfy bed and very clean. Complimentary bathroom accessories and a very good variety of milk, teas and coffees. We had a meal in the restaurant in the evening which we thoroughly enjoyed our chilli beef vermicelli dish with dessert to follow, I would recommend booking when you arrive as it gets busy. Breakfast was also very good with variety of choices and on request gluten free muffins. Had a lovely time exploring around the town, canal , park and Hardcastle Craggs giving you 3 options how active you are to explore.
