Fabulous hotel very friendly clean rooms bar very reasonable and the food was brilliant Can’t fault anything about this hotel

We booked this at the last minute as we were travelling up to the Scottish borders and wanted to break the journey due to the extreme heat. We arrived very late (about 11pm) but we had called the hotel in advance and one of the staff agreed to wait for us. When we did arrive we were greeted with a very warm welcome. Our one regret is that we didn't have time to make use of the observatory (yes you read that right!) All staff very friendly and helpful and loved the breakfast

All but one of the staff absolutely lovely. Unfortunately it only takes one to dampen the whole stay. Quite noisy rooms in the ground floor, main building and variable food. They have a trophy cupboard full of hospitality awards so it's just possible our off-season visit was just poor timing but we're unlikely to rush back.

We had a lovely stay here. Our room was a good size, as was the bathroom, including a jacuzzi bath. We enjoyed the little extras, such as fruit and cookies and bottled water. The bed was really comfortable and we had everything we needed. The hotel is in a good location to enjoy Hadrians wall and the roman forts, also the Sycamore Gap walk. The food and service at breakfast and dinner was very good. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is also a star gazing observatory on site, which we have enjoyed on a previous visit.

Had character,very friendly staff and a place that is thinking of the environment

Ein wirklich toller Aufenthalt: - super Hundefreundlich - ruhiges und sehr sauberes Zimmer - sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal - leckeres Frühstück

A lovely stay in a beautiful part of the world. We stayed in one of the accessible rooms, so can’t comment on the other accommodation, but our room was clean, if a little dated. The real positives were the staff, genuinely lovely and welcoming – along with excellent food and a great selection of local beers on tap. We also enjoyed chatting with some fellow guests who were repeat visitors, which says a lot about the place. Overall, a relaxed and friendly hotel in a fantastic location, and somewhere we’d be happy to return to.

Easy parking Very very comfy bed Lovely spacious bedroom

We had a warm welcome on a very rainy February day. Our room was warm and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was really good. The weather stopped us visiting the Observatory, which was a shame. We will definitely visit again at a different time of year, as the hotel is well placed to visit places of interest.

We had a disabled room (which i asked for) room had a really bad smell of bleach to the point off we had to leave to window open all night. Also we had friends staying at the same time and they had a full fruit bowl we had nothing in our room.This is our second time staying here and i have to stay the quality had dropped and i dont think i would stay here for the a third time ( also the breakfast has declined in quality also).

Everything was excellent

Good room, cosy bar, great meals, good parking

We've stayed here a couple of times before and were looking forward to another trip. The hotel hasn't changed much in recent years and unfortunately it's starting to feel like it needs a bit of a freshen up. Our room had a stale smell when we arrived (it needed to be aired) and the carpets were a bit grubby throughout the upstairs. Staff were helpful enough but not particularly friendly, and overall the atmosphere was lacking. Dinner was good but there is limited choice if you're staying more than a couple of nights. The breakfast menu options were good. The onsite EV charger is a real bonus but note that it is now pay-to-charge. Overall a decent place to stay but lacking the charm and friendliness it once had.

Very enjoyable stay Helpful, friendly and efficient staff Excellent food

We were walking the Reivers Way. We had a great welcome. The room was excellent, very spacious, clean and comfortable with a bath, just what was needed after a days walk. The restaurant food was excellent and good value. Unfortunately my wife said her hip was hurting. The following morning my wife hip was still hurting so we decided to discontinue our walk and to travel home. Unfortunately because of a road closure the bus from Wark to Hexham wasn’t running. The receptionist, contacted her father who very kindly gave us a lift to The station. For which I gave him some money which was to be donated to the hotels charity ‘Water aid’. A fantastic service by a great hotel. We will return again to continue our walk once my wife is feeling better.

A last-minute decision for us to stay having booked to eat in the restaurant and we weren't disappointed. Our room was spotlessly clean and more spacious than expected. We needed to look for someone in order to check in but in all other respects the staff were very welcoming and attentive.

Wonderful stay for one night. Beautiful village and lots of walking and lots to do. Wonderful room amenities. Thank you for a great stay.

Had a lovely one night stay, comfortable room and very nice bar with very friendly staff and a resident Cat :) . Food was very good and fantastic breakfast options. They also have an observatory at the back of the hotel if you want to experience Dark Sky astronomy, unfortunately cloud cover on our stay but would certainly go back.

Great place. Food lovely. Staff couldn’t be more helpful.

Limited Menu Staff Miserable No atmosphere Staff Attitude Breakfast not good for palate.
