Overlooking the Heritage site of Blenkinsopp Castle and set against the backdrop of historic Hadrian's Wall in the heart of the glorious unspoiled Northumbrian countryside.

A cosy traditional bar, with wooden beams and a roaring open fire. In our restaurant, we use a seasonal selection of local produce for breakfast, lunch, and evening meals, We are the perfect place to enjoy a meal with a good selection of beverages to choose from. We have recently renovated the Inn to accommodate five en-suite Bed and Breakfast rooms.
