    Would have l enjoyed slightly bigger portion of veg on the evening meal as they were very small - but the meal was delicious.

    The staff were super friendly and nothing too much trouble. The room was lovely as was the food.

    What a fabulous find for visiting Cumbria and Hadrian's wall. Staff were exceptional, friendly and professional. The Pub is cosey and welcoming. Food served was fabulous. Breakfast was very nice, Beds like sleeping in a cloud.

    The building has loads of character and lots of history, with a small derelict castle section still standing.

    The decor was top notch, the beds were comfortable, especially after I'd walked 125 miles in a week along the Pennine Way. The showers were hot & it was great to be able to walk just a short way to the restaurant where the meals were good.

    No negatives really apart from the broken plug in the sink in the bathroom - this didn't cause any problems however.

    A very good breakfast was included in out room rate. We ate in the restaurant on the evening of our arrival and the food and service was very good. The hotel doubles as a pub for the locals in the attached retirement complex and we got chatting with some of the locals who were a really friendly bunch. Staff in the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent location for visiting the local attractions of Hadrians Wall and Vindolanda.

    Twin room on the ground floor with an accessible bathroom (but the room was too small for a wheelchair or anything like that and had steps to get in). The bathroom was not great, the shower was barely worth it, no way I could wash my hair in the drip of water it was not powerful in any way- yet the tap sink was so powerful and loud!

    Gorgeous food in the restaurant- had a call a few hours before arrival asking if we wanted to book a table which was much appreciated. Breakfast pancakes special was delicious, and never had such a lovely steak. Very quiet place. Nice to see the castle ruins.

    I wish there'd been a bath!

    The food was good! The chips in the pub are the best. Jaz also helped carry my bag after a gruelling 35km hike over the middle of the wall. Really comfortable room too. Proper oasis.

    Modern and simple rooms near a deserted castle with good restaurant

    To get to this accommodation on our bicycles, we had to use the A-road. Fortunately there is a little side-path that can be followed and on our way back, we noticed that there is even an underpass. Maybe this underpass is safe to use, but it is well hidden and maybe it is no longer in use. Would recommend looking better as crossing the A-road is not very nice.

    The accommodation has various rooms. Ours was of a good size with simple decorations. The on-side restaurant is very convenient and good price/quality. The environment is quiet at night. Breakfast was very good.

    Eh… if I have to put something… shower pressure? 🚿 Mah, we figured it out.

    Oh my… what a gem of a place. We had the fortune of arriving on quiz night, which had a super nice atmosphere! 🥰 The dinner we had was just perfect, so nice and a great beer! The room we stayed was so nice, looked amazing outside and in. Clean and comfy, well stocked. Then breakfast, no buffet, ordered high quality breakfast. Wow! We were sorry to leave, and will store this gem! 💎 dear reader of this review, thinking about staying here.. why haven’t you booked yet? Quickly quickly!!

    Not a lot of room for 2 people to move around in bedroom. Had to get a carry out due to our arrival time and “borrow” plates and cutlery from the kitchen where door happened to be open. Quite a high price for bed & breakfast.

    Nice private room, accommodating our dog
