The final leg of our journey
Pros:

The welcome by the staff was fantastic. We received a phone call before we were due to check in, to ask if we would like to book for food as they finished serving at 6 with it being Sunday.
We ate there both nights & the only fault we could find with the meals was that there was far too much, especially the Sunday lunch.

Cons:

Our room wasn't en suite, but we did have our own private bathroom across the landing.
As there were only 2 other bedrooms, both en suite, this wasn't an issue for us, but may be for some people.
Breakfast is also served between 8.30 & 9 which meant we couldn't sleep in, however, this is understandable as, with only having 3 bedrooms, it narrowed down times for staffing.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit tollem Frühstück
Pros:

Ein wunderschönes, altes Gasthaus mit gemütlichen Zimmern. Vom Zimmer aus konnten wir die Schafe auf der Weide beobachten. Vor allem das Frühstück war ein Highlight! Frische Früchte, Granola, leckerer Tee und Kaffee und eine Auswahl an Verschiedenen typisch englischen Frühstücksvarianten.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer hatte kein Fenster und hat etwas komisch modrig gerochen, ansonsten war alles super!

Lovely, comfortable and welcoming
Pros:

Proper cosy pub in pretty village. Bedrooms were charming and comfortable.

Cons:

Roast beef was slow cooked not a proper roast joint so no option to have rare/medium. Didn’t enjoy Lindesfarne bitter - too sweet.
