Old fashioned welcome and comfort.

A really friendly welcome and introduction to the pub. The beer was excellent, the food very good. A very quiet bedroom and cosy too. Excellent value for money, we'll be back.

Spur of the moment

We were on our way back from a job in Carlisle and was looking for reasonably priced B&B/Hotel for 1 night. Lovely old pub just off the A1, Staff are friendly, the food was great including the breakfast that set us up for the long drive home next day.

A traditional country pub with great service from friendly staff. The room was comfortable and good value for money. If you don’t eat here you will miss out as the food is extremely good, far better than many places on our trip. Will definitely stay again.

A lovely break (3 nights) was enjoyed here, Host was great informing us of all we needed to know. I liked the idea of choosing what breakfast option you wanted, even if that meant deciding the night before. Typical Pub arrangement where a number of steps were encountered and therefore not for the immobile i would suggest. Good value.
