17th century in. Wow

Absolutely amazing! We found this little gem quite by chance as a half way stop between Scotland and England! It was a fantastic experience and the charm of the 17th century building as well as the charming staff was absolutely perfect in every way. The food was incredible and quite unexpected!

The peace and quiet is stunning.

This was an adorable, historic inn in a tiny town near Hadrians Wall. We ate dinner and breakfast at the pub downstairs. The food was good with vegetarian and vegan options. It was so quiet. We slept with the windows open and I heard only one car the emote stay.

Excellent in every way in fact one of the best places I have stopped in. Cannot fault the place in any way just hope some big chain does not take it over. Fantastic bar restaurant and originality that is lacking in so many places.

Just perfect!

The String Of Horses was an amazing place to stay. A quietly located inn it has superbly appointed rooms - the bathroom was amazing and the bed large and so comfortable; a lively restaurant serving quality high food and comfortable bar with an open fireplace. Staff are friendly and provide an amazing service from front of house and throughout the bar and restaurant. The breakfast service is high quality too with lovely food prepared to order. Well worth a visit and we’ll be back 👍
