Fantastic base for a trip to Berwick and Lindisfarne. The staff could not have been more helpful and we enjoyed an excellent dinner and breakfast, the locally sourced ingredients being of high quality. The bedroom was clean and the whole pub appeared to have been recently freshened up. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area.

The room was very big and spacious. It was very clean and came with en suite too. There was a back door to the car parking area, which was a nice touch to load/unload your cases. The bar was nice with seating areas for food in the evening, just like a restaurant. The food was exceptional in the evening and at breakfast. The service was too. Staff were very friendly and courteous. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it.

A great one night stop over on our return to York from the Island of Skye. After 8 hours travelling the inn was a welcome sight. Staff lovely. Bar well stocked. Food excellent - can recommend the Venison Pie! Breakfast was great too. Plenty to fill up with. Prices were very good too. Only tiny gripe was the room was a little too warm. No air conditioning (which we didn’t expect it to have) but a fan would have been an improvement. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Fantastic food

Lovely stay. Would recommend.

Great pub restaurant and hotel. Breafast more than ample. All local produce

ideal place for a break due to great parking, an assortment of items for breakfast, own privacy. comfortable rooms and a lovely warm bathroom. Could nt wish for anything better. We travel around the country frequently and have,nt stayed anywhere as comfortable. Just as long as they keep the present chef!!!!

Nice place quieter setting

Delightful place to stay, fab breakfast and very friendly warm staff.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Lovely food.

Breakfast was nice,lovely friendly staff and good parking. Comfortable bed .. The only slight disappointed was the evening meal . We had Fish & Chips which were very greasy and tasted like the fat in the fryer was due for changing . Otherwise the stay was fine

Very enjoyable stay

We had a wonderful stay here. Rooms are lovely as is the rest of the place. It’s a very warm welcoming environment in the bar. We ended up talking to loads of locals and fellow hotel goers. The food was superb. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.
