Perfect, dog friendly stay
Pros:

Warm and welcoming and a perfect place to stay for us and our dog. Supper and breakfast were exceptional. A perfect blend of a pub for locals that is welcoming to outsiders

If you are in need of cozy inn with nice pub and excellent nature surrounding, i highly recommend
Pros:

Very cozy accommodation. I went to Harbottle to visit the Drake stone and his place is ideally located about 40 minutes walk from the Drake Stone and Harbottle lake.
The room was pretty nice and comfortable with small private patio, great TV and bed and very good showe.
English breakfast was absolutely proper and delicious, breakfast room with fireplace was very comfortable and just what i needed in the morning.
Staff was very nice and the pub located in the in has some great beer (i arrived to late for the food).

Cons:

I could enjoy some ground coffee for breakfast, not a biggest fan of instant :) and mustard is a must have, english Colman's mustard is such a classic, it should be available at every breakfast table

Pros:

Breakfast was adequate for us.Cooked to order

Cons:

Would prefer better quality bread and fresh pastries. Don’t really like cereals in little packets - but understand it’s less wasteful

Chilled relaxation, home from home in a central location to tour all areas of notthumbria.
Pros:

A lovely quaint pub with superb accommodation. Very clean and in great condition. Loved the element of the pub also being a shop,and selling local produce.

Good ales, well kept and some nice wines at reasonable prices.

The breakfasts were outstanding just as were the evening meals. Big portions and fresh.
A Very dog friendly place and the locals made you feel like one of them.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Thank you all
