The staff are helpful friendly and welcoming the food is delicious the rooms are clean I have previously also stayed in the cottage which is a truly beautiful English cottage experience. The surrounding scenery is spectacular I always look forward to visiting. Highly recommend. As a bonus easy to get to the Observatory and other attractions in the area."

"Great base for exploring Northumberland. Good breakfast and evening meal."

"Arrived around 5 pm, went up to the bar. The young lady in the bar said we should have had an email and text explaining that cooked food was not available at the moment and we would have to go somewhere else for some food (we received no email or texts). We were then taken to our room and given a key. As we had been driving for over 7 hours, we had planned to eat our main meal when we arrived. As a result we walked over the bridge going over the river and found another pub/hotel who were very helpful and we had homemade steak and kidney pudding which was delicious. Our room had two single beds, a kettle with some tea and coffee. A built in wardrobe and en suite bathroom with a shower, toilet and wash basin. We also had towels, shampoo and shower gel supplied. The shower was ok for a freshen up. The beds were very soft and comfortable. Breakfast was in a small room downstairs which was a help yourself basis and you had a few cereals and bread/toast to choose from. We stayed for two nights, any longer would have been a bit of a push, but we only needed the room to stop over and it's in a nice quiet location. If you plan to get the train to Newcastle or Carlisle the train station is just down the road. There's lots of pretty areas close by. Overall, the service is very basic but it did the job for a short trip. "

"Exceptionally clean beautiful bedding extras like a place to put hot items like hair straighter and tv controls were in a new plastic bag to maintain cleanliness. The shared facilities including kitchen were also outstanding. I took my neice to see the Perseids meteor shower as this is a dark sky area, we also saw the Milky Way thousands of stars and the northern lights. Quiet immaculate place in the middle of the countryside in darks sky very beautiful. The only difficulty for us is that we arrived on a very hot day, the room was very warm even with the fan but this was extreme weather! I did love the shutters on the windows though great for keeping the shade if you want. Lovely welcome from the staff and shown around so we knew where facilities were"

"Excellent place to stay for a de-dress Wonderful views of the north Tyne river Accommodation, clean well decorated, rooms , with everything you need. Big fluffy towels great woodland views. The staff very friendly and helpful Will definitely return as well as recommending to friends and family"
