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.

I mean, Northumberland is a beautiful place, and this property was no less beautiful. It is the most eco-conscious hotel we've ever stayed in, with it's own garden, solar panels. and I believe a rain catcher? There's so much wildlife in the area, bird feeders and cats roaming around. We got lucky and there was a bit of clear sky our second night, so we headed to the observatory and got to spots some stars since it's in a Dark Sky Park. It was also a great distance to all the sights in the area, particularly Hadrian's Wall and the Roman Forts. Breakfast was fantastic, staff was friendly, food and drink were great. An overalls really fantastic stay.

Great room, great staff, great food, and magic stargazing as well. Thank you. A truly memorable stay.

The staff were all very helpful & attentive to our needs. The room was very spacious & well equipped with the added gesture of complementary fruit. An excellent range of food to choose from for breakfast & the quality was very good, along with the service. The hotel was clean & welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent accommodation great breakfast superb value

Good size room, very comfortable bed, plenty of towels supplied. Good choice of drinks, biscuits and fresh fruit for the guests in the room. We ate in the restaurant and has a wonderful meal and a delicious breakfast each morning

Poor menu choices bland food very expensive drinks and horrible smell in bathroom
