This was exactly what we were hoping for in this stay. The rooms were lovely and clean and the bathrooms were modern and fully stocked. The inn itself was charming, the staff so accommodating and the food (both dinner and breakfast) were delicious.

Really lovely. This was exactly what we were looking for as we traveled from London to Edinburgh by car. We wanted a quiet, homey feeling stay in a real country inn. String of Horses was exactly that. Dinner, the rooms, breakfast, the staff were all excellent! Cheers!

Fantastic stay. Couldn’t believe Sam recognised us as we’d only been once before several months ago! She is amazing at her job… bright, bubbly & so efficient. Tbh, all of the staff are lovely. Great rooms, very comfy bed & lovely breakfast. Will definitely be back again.

What a find this place was. We needed somewhere to stay and shelter from Storm Dave rather than risk the campervan. We were lucky enough to find the family room at the String of Horses. Amazing food in the pub, amazing and super friendly staff, especially the lady who sorted out brownie pieces for my ten year old rather than the Sundae dessert version. The breakfast in the morning, ordered from a menu rather than buffet was delicious with great options. Added bonus was how close the pub was to all the Hadrians Wall forts and activities which we also stumbled across the next day on our way to Scotland. 5 stars, 10/10, if I could give more I would.
