Pros:

It suited us for our walking holiday. Food at the pub was good although a little on the expensive side. Hosts were very helpful and nice.

Cons:

The cost of the food and soft drinks added to the cost of the room but I guess in a small location you have to be thankful for the availability of the meals.

The ultimate and iconic end of the Pennine Way and the welcome, food and facilities do not disappoint.
Pros:

The ultimate location to stay when walking the Pennine Way as this is the official end and has the log book, certification and free half pint. Very clean and comfortable with excellent facilities and quality evening meal and breakfasts.

Cons:

I couldn’t find any faults.
