Such a lovely friendly place to stay - accommodation is clean, smart and tastefully furnished. Breakfast service is prompt, attentive and fresh food. Bar is dog friendly and red wine lush! Want to stay for pleasure next time to really take it all in.

Howard Arms is an inn, but it's also a restaurant. Once we arrived and settled into our room, it was very easy to go back downstairs and have dinner. They are VERY dog friendly, and we loved the cat that sat on the stairs, enjoying attention from everyone. We were able to park our car right near the front door which made it easy to unload our luggage.

The ambiance was perfect and very helpful, friendly staff. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Great pub and food. The location was easily accessible by taxi off Hadrian's Wall Path. Too far to walk to after many miles of hiking from Twice-Brewed Inn. We would have liked to have spent another day in Brampton, but we had to move on.

Great food and drink at the pub and decently comfortable rooms. The place is dog friendly so there were occasionally dog odors but they clearly work hard to minimize them. Would recommend. My only complaint is that I personally didn’t like the air freshener used in the bathroom but I survived ;).

The rooms are very modern and clean, the food is great and the Howard Arms was our favorite place we stayed on our trip. Parking is available behind the hotel, but it is on a different road, so make sure you go to the right lot. We had both dinner and breakfast there and it was fantastic.

This is I believe the premier hotel in Brampton. It is clean, well maintained and comfortable. It has a lot of atmosphere and history. I liked the Dickens touch. The staff were friendly and helpful. The big black mark was that we were locked out, something which has never happened to me before in a hotel. Three of us returned at 11 pm to find all the doors locked and nobody responding to knocks or telephone calls. We eventually had to climb in through the window. The only alternative would have been to sleep on the street. In fairness the staff were apologetic next morning and told us that in the normal course of events, had they been told we were going out, they would’ve given us means of access. Nobody asked whether we were going out. And it should not have been necessary. I hope following this feedback they will change their arrangements
