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

Great place.
Posted 8 Feb 2024 on HotelsThis 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.

Unique old-fashioned atmosphere, great beer, dinner, room a tad small but comfy, very warm personnel, great base to visit Carlisle, Hadrian’s wall and Lake district

ok for a night.
Posted 23 Oct 2023 on HotelsOverall 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.

We enjoyed the atmosphere of an old fashioned village pub which we used as a base for travelling around the area and which we enjoyed coming back to for a drink in the wonderful atmospheric bar, followed by excellent cuisine served by superb staff

Really enjoyed staying at the String of horses. A*
Posted 17 Aug 2023 on HotelsI 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.
