The String Of Horses was an amazing place to stay. A quietly located inn it has superbly appointed rooms - the bathroom was amazing and the bed large and so comfortable; a lively restaurant serving quality high food and comfortable bar with an open fireplace.
Staff are friendly and provide an amazing service from front of house and throughout the bar and restaurant.
The breakfast service is high quality too with lovely food prepared to order.
Well worth a visit and we’ll be back 👍

This property is in an old coaching inn, so it has lots of history and charm. The amenities,are great, it is clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our dinner here was wonderful. It's a very enjoyable place stay and convenient to the sites along Hadrian's Wall.

Quaint country pub with rooms. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The place is very clean and looks welcoming. However the room I had was small and basic but the bed was comfy and everything worked. Nowhere to sit comfortably or even to do some work. Food is very tasty especially the evening meals. Breakfast choice very good and again delicious food well presented. Thank you.

We enjoyed the atmosphere of an old fashioned village pub which we used as a base for travelling around the area and which we enjoyed coming back to for a drink in the wonderful atmospheric bar, followed by excellent cuisine served by superb staff

Excellent in every way in fact one of the best places I have stopped in. Cannot fault the place in any way just hope some big chain does not take it over. Fantastic bar restaurant and originality that is lacking in so many places.

This was a great little find for an overnight stay. Not a lot nearby but you don’t need it.
A lovely 16th century bar area with good local beers. Rooms are decorated and furnished to a high standard.
The food in the restaurant was all superb as was the breakfast. Service in all areas was excellent making for a very good stay.

This was a absolute highlight on our trip, the accommodations were great, the food was absolutely amazing as was the chef, combine that with our hosts and the locals who made you feel more than welcome.
We can’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you to all of you for your generosity.
