Called here at very short notice and the owner was very accommodating. The pub is lovely inside and so cozy. We attended on a Sunday and the roasts were spot on. Would highly recommend this place. Service: 5 Location: 5

Thank you to Rob, Jen and their staff for a wonderful 2 night stay at their beautiful country inn. If careers were made for people they are the best example I've seen in a long time. Gorgeous area to explore, surrounded by the most welcoming hosts. Thank you once again Rooms: Clean and fresh. En suite, toiletries and towels provided Rooms: 5 Service: 5

If you like gourmet pubs/fine dining, then this is more for you. The menu was limited, but there were a lot of specials on the board. Can't fault the quality of the food, but if you're after pub grub (bangers and mash, scampi and chips, etc. then this isn't one for you. Additionally, I'd suggest that you book a table and don't just turn up. Service: 5 Location: 5

A couple of additional highlights: there are beautiful walks along the River Allan to Staward Gorge, and the Allan Banks National Trust site offers spectacular views of the crags, tall trees, and the river.

A beautiful escape with an alpine ambiance in northern Umberland. This hotel offers a lovely hot bath and stunning views of the river and surrounding hills right from your window. The staff is excellent, providing thoughtful recommendations, interesting local history, and a great sense of humor. Dinner portions are generous, and the breakfast menu includes good vegetarian and vegan options that we thoroughly enjoyed. The only minor downside was the slightly overcooked eggs. The room was warm and the bed comfortable, ensuring a very restful night's sleep. The location is quiet, wild, and remote, truly a hidden gem in the UK that should be experienced. The hotel and pub would benefit from a ca...
