The property has a lot of history and fabulous outdoor area.. the new owners informed us they were putting in a fire pit under the gazebo that will allow customers to experience the outdoor area into the evenings. Fabulous view of the hills from our bedroom.

Hill walkers paradise. Child unfriendly.
Hotel is very charming from the outside and around the bar area. Set in a quiet village and is clearly a hill walkers paradise. Clearly not a hotel that is suitable for families with infants. Positives - Peaceful, Friendly staff, bed was comfortable. Negatives - Pennine Room (most expensive room in hotel) was filthy. Shower head is disgusting and needs replaced, and when something so obvious is overlooked, it leaves you fearing the worst. Window sills were filthy. Cobwebs everywhere. Light bulbs out. Carpet clearly had a quick hoover over prior to our arrival, but generally still filthy. Really poor when you have an infant who spends most of their time on the floor. No cleaning and emptying of bins in the morning, so room bin was overflowing. Food - first nights dinner, the wife and I both had ordered the chicken pie. One was hot and one was cold. No staff member asked how our meal was. I wasn’t hungry so gave wife the hot pie and I ate the chips. Ordered an omelette for our 1 year old and when it finally arrived, it was severely undercooked. Dangerous for a child of this age. Breakfast service is very slow, fine when it’s adults who can have tea and a chat, but as I said before. Not a hotel setup well for a family with a young child. Floor in breakfast area had bits of food from days prior. On check out - no one asked how our stay was. Can only assume they expect negative feedback so don’t bother asking. Really, really poor. Shame

Perfect Stay for The Pennine Way
Lovely hotel and my target now for 3 years in 17 days of walking the Pennine way. It’s a small cosy bar with more restaurant at side and rear. After 16 miles of my last days walking a reals Hot bath was particularly inviting. Would I stay there again? Hell yes! See you in 3 years when I do “a lap of Honour”

lovely borders cottage
This is great cottage and spotlessly clean and well equipped, only drawback is it has no WiFi which with teenagers is a major problem!

4/10 Fair

Disappointing!
We didn’t actually stay at this hotel. It was shabby downstairs, and little attention seemed to be given to COVID precautions. The room was slightly better than downstairs, but the curtains were hanging off the rail, the wooden toilet seat had some damage and wouldn’t have been hygienic. To my mind if a hotel can’t be bothered to fix a simple thing like broken curtain hooks, or a worn toilet seat, it does not give guests confidence that it is doing its utmost to keep people safe in these trying times. The bed was large and looked fine, but we didn’t stay to lay our heads there.

The hotel is steeped in tradition and oozes character. Its the iconic finishing point of the Pennine way, a 268 mile walk from Edale in Derbyshire finishing at the border Hotel in Kirk Yetholm. The standard of the hotel is 1st class the staff warm and friendly and the food is delicious. Highly recommended

Disappointed that the advertised walk in shower was not to be, but otherwise a good stay. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful and staff are friendly.
