    bad weather
    noisy kitchen

    staff were amazin, super friendly and helpful. breakfast was first class, and the evening meals were really good too. the room was comfy and warm, and it had a great shower. the location is perfect for walks and close to hadrian's wall. overall, it was excellent value for money!

    the weather was terrible during our stay, and we encountered a noisy kitchen fan that ruined some of our experience.

    great food
    friendly staff
    comfortable room
    limited toiletries

    We had a wonderful stay in a lovely double room. The food was outstanding, especially the roast dinner on Sunday. My family appreciated the friendly staff who made us feel welcomed and helped with our baby. They even cooked breakfast to order!

    My wife says that the toiletries were lacking for a family stay. A couple of extra bottles would really help, especially when traveling with a baby.

    delicious meal
    cozy garden
    snug room

    We had a wonderful night here, enjoying the lovely decor and a delicious three-course meal that hit the spot after a long day. There’s a cozy garden to unwind in and a sun terrace for some relaxing moments. The only downside was that our room was a bit snug, but it didn’t take away from our experience. ☀️
