This would have been a 4 if it were not for the first night being in an airless cell-like single room. The double room was exponentially better. The b&b breakfast was a continental and the pastries and coffee were ordinary. On the plus side the staff were very helpful and the location excellent for the railway station and buses.

It’s basically a pub, opposite railway station, offering a basic continental breakfast, packaged cereal etc. I went instead to the Thistle-Do-Me in nearby Walkergate for a delicious inexpensive breakfast. The only time I stayed for dinner there was none available in absence of chef. I was alone in room for three and found storage inadequate and found the wi-fi too weak to use unless I went out on the landing. Older clientele but mostly fit hikers with small cases/backpacks who could negotiate the steep stairs. Heating was on but via a timer. Shower fine. Excellent access to trains and buses, hiking trails, castle and river walks along with good restaurants and shops. Great town to stay made up for average accommodation.

The hotel is very well staffed and very well situated for public transport. Because I have orthopedic challenges, I found the lack of a lift to be disappointing, but that has more to do with me than with the hotel.

We had a lovely few days staying here. The staff were friendly, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. A couple of things to note that aren't made clear in the listing: there is a £20 charge per dog, and while it says breakfast is included, this only refers to a continental breakfast—not a full cooked breakfast as the images might suggest. That said, the continental breakfast was okay, offering a good selection of pastries, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, and toast.
