Cooked breakfast from the newsagents?!

Certainly not your cosy-up type pub. Modern characterless pub (in what looked a charming village), filled with people enjoying a rowdy drink and match. Dont get me wrong, the service from the lady was excellent, but there was absolutely no where to escape the noise. The bedroom were recently updated, but had zero sound proofing. The noise from the pub was heard until closing time. However once closed ( and the noise from the cooking extracwas turned off), it was surprisingly quiet. The biggest disappointment ( which would have resulted in a highef score) was the fact the " cooked breakfast " was actually a sandwich from next door 7-11 - ate in the bedroom.

Highly recommended

Set in a beautiful village this accomodation stands out withbits exterior decor. Parking is a short walk away and not onsite but this isnt gar and not a problem. We were greeted by a wonderful ladybwhonwas full of smiles, verybfriendly and appeared tonreally enjoy her job. She showed us to our room and left us to unpack. The room was big enougb fornthe 2 of us and had a good sized ensuite shower room. The rooms facilities were excellent. Smart tv, wifif and smart heating as well as a kettle and hair dryer. The hotel is small, just 14 rooms and also serves as one of just 2 pubs in the village. The pub itself is large, has pool amd darts as well as space for live entertainment. Multiple tvs line the walls and theres music too. Theres also a verybgood oitside space to the rear as well as a small area to tje front if you prefer to watchblife go by. Theres a great menu with a variety of foods available including a thai menu. Food and drink prices are good and theres ample choice. We had a lovely stay and are already planning to return. I require medical equipment at night and there was no issue with this either. Pricing for the accommodation is also reasonable. Definitely recommend

Clean and warm. But the bed- its seen better days. The mattress was very old and soft. You could feel every spring in your back when you moved - and if you cant feel it you heard it! Breakfast was just a voucher for the shop next door to pick up a buttie. Done the job but didn't realise this was the routine when we booked.

Lovely location, clean & comfie, friendly staff

Clean & comfortable rooms with everything we needed. Staff were friendly. Our evening meal from the restaurant food (which we took as room service) was good quality, generous portions and reasonably priced. One of the rooms was much smaller than the other, with the double bed right pushed right against the wall - definitely only suitable for single occupancy. Also I had a shower at about 6.30am - lovely hot water. But by 9.30am there was no hot water available for my son to shower! Breakfast came in the form of a voucher to use at a convenience store next door with a hot drinks machine & white baps with choice of filling - adequate but very poor choice for vegetarians. Location of the inn, Gosforth, is beautiful. So despite some small niggles it felt like a good choice of place to stay for a night en route elsewhere.

Adequate, but probably wouldn’t stay again.

Stayed for two nights whilst visiting the local area. We stayed in room number 2, a small but adequate room. It was a hot couple of nights so we had to have the window open. The kitchen extractor was located directly outside our window. The extractor fan was on until 10.15pm and made the whole room vibrate. Luckily this was not the case on the second night. The food wasn’t anything special, massive portions but mine clearly got left under the hot plate for far too long.

It was my partner's birthday, so plan was to head out early walking. On arrival we got voucher for local shop to pick up breakfast (7-10am), which was a surprise as we booked b&b. Shop was closed... So no breakfast... Pitty there is no information that breakfast is not served when booking. I unfortunately would not recommend the place nor would I use it again.

Great Bar and good food, lovely staff.

Great Bar and good food, lovely staff. The hotel room was clean and comfortable but the walls are quite thin, it didn't bother me but if you are a light sleeper then it could be an issue. Free car park just over the road. Breakfast is currently from the village shop next door via a voucher which was fine but will be better when served in the bar again as normal. Overall would definitely return.

Comfortable stay with excellent food

The room was very small but clean and comfortable. The food and drink selection in the bar was excellent and very reasonably priced. The quality of food was very good and and appeared to be freshly made at the premises.

Perfect for Sellafield

Needed a room for one night prior to working at Selafield. Hotel is ideally suited for this being a five minute drive away. The room was cosy and warm with a comfortable bed and a modern (large) shower room. The staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast lovely. My only gripe was my choice of evening meal. I'm from Teesside and, when I saw Parmo on the menu, I thought I must compare. Unfortunately it was completely different and not in a good way. However it was cooked well, just not what I was expecting or looking forward. I can't fault the rest of my stay though.
