We stopped for 1 night. The rooms were absolutely spotless, had everything you needed for a B&B. We were able to check in sooner than 3pm. the food was lovely. Great location, there was a hotel with a bar within about a 15 min walk. The couple who own it were really friendly. Weve already booked up to go back in june.

This is a gem in the country outside Carlisle. Super friendly people, great food and after a quick chat with Gary, lots of interesting history both past and present. Well worth a visit. Ideally situated for a number of Hadrians wall sites.

Excellent stay

Amazing, unique place that offers a unique experience. The rooms are small but well appointed. They are dog friendly in the rooms as well as pub/restaurant. The ruins are available to be toured and the local residents add a lovely addition to the experience. To note, the pub/restaurant/check in does not open at all until 3 pm so don’t arrive early. Food and drink are excellent.
