What guests think
String Of Horses is a charming historic coaching inn praised for its warm, friendly service, excellent meals, and comfortable rooms, offering a quiet countryside base near Hadrian’s Wall with easy parking and a welcoming bar.
Historic character is balanced with modern refurbishments, and many guests highlight very clean rooms and appealing bathrooms. Downsides are occasional low shower water pressure and some smaller or basic rooms, and the rural setting means little nearby. Expect a relaxed, well-fed stay in a characterful country inn.

Quiet, remote setting near Hadrian’s Wall and lovely scenic drives. Authentic 17th century coaching inn with lots of historic charm in the common areas. We stayed 5 days in the clean, comfortable family quarters with plenty of room and a huge shower. Nice, friendly staff. Really good food. The eggs benedict at breakfast was super. Plenty of free on-site parking. Heads up to foreigners: Do your business in GB Pounds. Although we were not asked our preference, we received a 4.95% upcharge to convert payment to our local currency.

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.

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 👍

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.

Quaint country pub with rooms. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The place is very clean and looks welcoming. However the room I had was small and basic but the bed was comfy and everything worked. Nowhere to sit comfortably or even to do some work. Food is very tasty especially the evening meals. Breakfast choice very good and again delicious food well presented. Thank you.

The staff - special mention for Sam - were helpful and there when needed. I forgot to pack our toothbrushes and we were supplied with them free of charge. The bedroom was small but it's an old coaching inn so many irregularities to be expected. The bathroom was big! Dinner and breakfast were very good and the location is good. Not far to the lake district or borders and very peaceful in a small village.

I messed up our booking and actually arrived a week early, however the lady was amazing and took it all in her stride and found us a superb room and was really accommodating of us being the wrong day. Unfortunately we missed supper but the menu look amazing, breakfast was delicious. The String of horses is traditional but also luxury with comfy mattress, pillows and soft towels. Very generous double ended bath. Highly recommend staying here.

This property was a find! I was concerned driving there as it was located in the middle of nowhere and thank God for Google maps else I don't know how I would find it. But what a delight! The room was comfy. The food was great. The service was exceptional. The bar was just a lot of fun. It was very convenient to Hadrian's wall

It was a delightful inn with a restaurant attached. We didn’t have to walk or drive anywhere. Beds were comfy and an easy ride to Hadrian’s Wall

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.

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 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 👍

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.

This was exactly what we were hoping for in this stay. The rooms were lovely and clean and the bathrooms were modern and fully stocked. The inn itself was charming, the staff so accommodating and the food (both dinner and breakfast) were delicious.
