We were very impressed with the accommodation, the room we had was quiet and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.The food was excellent and they had quite a varied menu to suit all tastes. We drove into Bramton which is a small town and there was plenty to see and a very good antiques shop. All in... More

went for sunday lunch quite some time ago Had a family celebration meal- ordered roast beef- when it arrived minus the yorkshire pudding I was told they had "run out" of Yorkshire Puddings What this actually meant, presumably, was that they had run out of pre prepared Aunt Bessies Yorkshire Puddings, and they couldn't be bothered to make any from...

We were taken to our room which already had a dehumidifier running in it and the landlady explained that we should keep it running when we weren't in the room. In the course of 2 days there it became half full! The bed was damp, the room smelt damp and even the pub felt damp! When we checked out I... More

Stayed here for one week with my boyfriend and family and really really enjoyed it. A sweet little village and such lovely people. Our room was big with everything we needed. Dinner was great and breakfast good too. Would absolutely love to come back and already trying to arrange time to return. Wouldnt hesitate recommending to friends and family. x More

Set in a beautiful location on a sunny spring day a drink and a catch up with friends was all that was desired.

We ate here one lunchtime, though we weren't staying here. The bar was quiet and service was very efficient. The menu was varied and the kids menu looked particularly good. However whilst the adult meals were ok (more mushroom than steak in the stroganoff though) the child's portion of spaghetti Bol was outrageous! If there was 50p worth of ingredients... More

At first we thought we had arrived in the middle of nowhere - but were delighted to find this gem of a place which obviously is valued by its regular local customers as well as those passing through. The staff could not have been more friendly . The bar with roaring fire was great and the quality of the food... More
