The Blacksmiths Arms ★★★★

"Choose your meal very carefully ! Called for lunch but steak meal very disaopointing- dry and tough! Did comment to server but still charged full price. Not the response to encourage a return visit! Spoilt the day after a lovely walk at Talkin Tarn!"

Farlam Hall Hotel & Restaurant ★★★★

"Incredible experience from booking to leaving. The communication and service from the team is out of this world and 5 star service from the outset. Beautiful hotel with glorious garden surroundings. Breakfast served by a Michelin star chef just increased the level of perfection! Bravo Farlam Hall."

String of Horses ★★★★

The Howard Arms ★★★

"Lovely atmosphere and great food. The seabass and cheese pie that my dining companions had were especially delicious. Pizza was decent but I was jealous of the others!"

Blenkinsopp Castle Inn ★★★★

"Lovely food, definitely pre-book. We had a call to ask ahead of our arrival which was appreciated. The food, drinks and ambience with other travellers made the stay. Without that it would have been 3 stars. The main negative was the poor bathroom, shower was very much a trickle, the tap was so powerful it was very noisy. Could do with sealant replacing and wooden floor next to an open shower was always going to lead to water damage!"

Scotch Arms Mews Bed & Breakfast, Brampton Town Centre, Hadrians Wall ★★★★

"Very nice B&B, tastefully renovated building, room very comfortable, especially I liked the mini-bolster on the bed instead of a mountain of cushions. In the evening you can go out and buy your own dinner, bring it back and eat it in the bar, there's everything you need including a licensed honesty bar. Great system."

Hadrian's View ★★★★
