It was convenient for exploring Hadrians Wall and the area.
Menu was limited but what was on offer was well done.
Breakfast was good.

Received e mail saying did I want en suit or was the private bathroom ok booked en suit replied but only notification received no direct reply. Arrived young women couldn’t find booking had to find someone else, continental breakfast poor.
Home made Rabbit Stew after a day of rain and low cloud! Perfect.
Came away with a Bacon Sandwich as I had to leave early. Great service all around.
Didn't know it at the time but the Landord lets Electric Car users charge overnight
