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 👍

Quaint country pub with rooms

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.

This was a great little find for an overnight stay. Not a lot nearby but you don’t need it. A lovely 16th century bar area with good local beers. Rooms are decorated and furnished to a high standard. The food in the restaurant was all superb as was the breakfast. Service in all areas was excellent making for a very good stay.

Great place.

This hotel is fantastic the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is absolutely superb. Difficult to get to because of the amount of roadworks / diversions in that area. The real problem I had was my room it was so noisy I thought I was sitting in the pool room very,very noisy. So I'd advise asking for a quiet room when you book.

ok for a night.

Overall the hotel was good and clean with the room comfortable with plenty of parking space. There was no food available on the Sunday night, however there were alternative options available with delivery's from pizza and other food outlets from the nearby town. If your relying on WIFI for work emails or calls don't, very much a hit and miss. The only real negative point was the shower not very good with little or limited heat and power. I may of been unlucky and other rooms may have been a lot better.

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.

We were a bit late coming down from Kelso and it was almost dark when we got to Brampton trying to find the hotel. But after visiting most of the lanes and villages in the area, we eventually got there. Lovely old traditional Inn, friendly staff and no problem providing us with dinner though it was late by then. Food was delicious! Lovely bedroom, very comfortable bed and pillows. All very clean, and lots of newly painted areas in the property. Good choices for breakfast. Just wish checkout had been a little later as we had “lost” an hour with the clock change!

Family Studio w/Wet Room

This hotel was, in a nutshell, a wonderful place to stay. I believe that our particular room might have been the only one on the first floor and seemed to be handicap accessible. It also may have been the only room that had an exterior entrance. It had one double bed (U.S. queen), a single bed (U.S. twin), and a single fold-out futon chair. The "kitchenette" was comprised of a nice size porcelain sink, a dorm-sized fridge, a wooden counter-top with built-in drain board, a kettle with ceramic mugs & spoons, and sufficient cabinetry to store a few days worth of groceries. There was also a couch, dining table with 4 chairs, an occasional chair, several coffee and side tables, and a small wall-mounted TV. It was our first experience with a wet-room for a bathroom and we found that it was very clean and roomy. I actually much preferred it to the usual mildew infested shower stalls that many hotels have. The double-door entrance to the bathroom would make it easy to maneuver a wheelchair inside. There were only a few negatives to this room. One was that the seat-cushions and chairs needed a scrubbing as there were numerous spots and debris found on them. Also, the futon was broken and we had to prop up one end to make it lay flat. I think others have complained about the futons so it might be worth replacing these with a more useful solution. As for the breakfast, it was delicious and the service excellent. It's a beautiful place to stay and we would definitely go back!

We were disappointed with the hotel, particularly having seen great reviews before travelling. Our room was small, as was the bed. It was also very uncomfortable meaning that I slept badly for 4 nights. What disappointed us most was the food which was poorly cooked, particularly the breakfasts. It was also overpriced compared with several pubs in the area serving better food. The staff were lovely however, very friendly and helpful, as was everyone that we met in our stay in Northumberland. The area is incredibly beautiful, and historically very interesting

Comfortable 2 night stay.

Very comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff and good evening meals. However we were surprised and disappointed that the breakfast menu was limited. Porridge or cereals was an option and not part of the main menu. If you had cereals then no cooked breakfast. We had not experienced this before and felt this represented poor value for breakfast. Everything else was fine.

An Inn full of character

Overall, very many plus points with one or two areas for improvement. An historic and charming inn situated in a quiet village setting. The points worthy of praise are as follows. Clean and comfortable, including a good bed. The room and en-suite were spacious. The staff were friendly and efficient; attentive but not intrusive. The Cumberland breakfast was especially good. The evening menu was simple and comprised regular pub food. Of the menu options, I can only comment on the fish and chips, which was done well. Ample parking was freely available in front and at the side of the inn. In terms of areas for improvement, the only important point would be to fit a better blind or curtain which would substantially block out the early sunlight. Other than that, there were minor issues with the WiFi but it generally worked. At points, the interior is a bit basic but for the good value price this was perhaps to be expected. The cables tacked on to the dining room ceiling detracted slightly from what was in most respects a great place to eat. Overall, I would highly recommend the String of Horses to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a traditional setting at a very reasonable price.

Caldicott family tour

The String of Horses is a very nice, old pub and I can imagine in "normal" times would be quite a busy place; it was very quiet during our stay. The staff are excellent, very friendly and very helpful. The room was comfortable, though a little tired and, for some reason quite cold. To be fair it is summer so wouldn't expect the heating to be on and we didn't ask if it could be. Can't comment about evening meals as we are elsewhere but if the excellent breakfast is anything to go by should be fine

Lovely stopover

Lovely stay, perfect for a stop over. The studio was ideal for us, although the futon was as much use as a chocolate fireguard, it wasn't great for a small child so definitely needs addressing if the room is to sleep four. Generally everything else was comfortable, well thought out and ideal for our needs although the huge bathroom is crying out for a bath. Breakfast was great and our evening meal was very good too. Would recommend.

Superb country Inn

It was such a pleasant surprise to find this wonderful hotel in a small village in the north of England. The String of Horses had everything; an excellent restaurant, modernised bedrooms with ensuite, a well stocked bar with atmosphere. Huge choice at breakfast and great staff.

Great stopover for travelling

We travellef from Kent to Aberdeenshire bank holiday Friday, horrendous traffic, arrived far too late for dinner, staff couldn't have been more helpful, rustled up food and sustenance for 2 very weary people!

Wonderful Place & Wonderful Staff

Beautiful and quiet - lovely room! This was a wonderful place to stay - quiet and beautiful. The hosts were super accommodating - taking us in with a last-minute reservation at midnight. It just so happened the the Music on the Marr Music Festival was happening just down the road from here, so we got to enjoy some brilliant music. One of the staff at String of Horses did us a huge favor that made it possible for us to attend the music festival. These are the best kind of people there ever were.

String of Horses & string of compliments

We were allowed to book in about lunch time as originally we were told 4pm which would have been a bit of a struggle as we were there for the Rod Stewart concert. We booked a hotel in Durham for our honeymoon 3 years ago,and this was a much better place altogether.Breakfast was lovely and the service was brilliant.

String of Horses Inn, Fabulous

On our arrival we were warmly welcomed, by Colin, we found the Inn, clean and tidy, and bedrooms bright and airy, loved the décor, the bar and dining room made you feel very comfortable and relaxed. So lovely we would visit again. We were travelling with family from Canada and they were very impressed.
