Really lovely. This was exactly what we were looking for as we traveled from London to Edinburgh by car. We wanted a quiet, homey feeling stay in a real country inn. String of Horses was exactly that. Dinner, the rooms, breakfast, the staff were all excellent! Cheers!

We enjoyed the atmosphere of an old fashioned village pub which we used as a base for travelling around the area and which we enjoyed coming back to for a drink in the wonderful atmospheric bar, followed by excellent cuisine served by superb staff

Fantastic stay. Couldn’t believe Sam recognised us as we’d only been once before several months ago! She is amazing at her job… bright, bubbly & so efficient. Tbh, all of the staff are lovely. Great rooms, very comfy bed & lovely breakfast. Will definitely be back again.

This property is in an old coaching inn, so it has lots of history and charm. The amenities,are great, it is clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our dinner here was wonderful. It's a very enjoyable place stay and convenient to the sites along Hadrian's Wall.

What a find this place was. We needed somewhere to stay and shelter from Storm Dave rather than risk the campervan.
We were lucky enough to find the family room at the String of Horses. Amazing food in the pub, amazing and super friendly staff, especially the lady who sorted out brownie pieces for my ten year old rather than the Sundae dessert version.
The breakfast in the morning, ordered from a menu rather than buffet was delicious with great options.
Added bonus was how close the pub was to all the Hadrians Wall forts and activities which we also stumbled across the next day on our way to Scotland.
5 stars, 10/10, if I could give more I would.
