I should have written a review before now....as i visit regularly with my family. The food is very good, the prices are reasonable and the staff give great, friendly service. My favourite meal is the supurb mix grill. I also love the Beer that is served here. It is brewed on site. My favourite is the Prince Bishop - a... More

We went on a Saturday early evening and it was busy. Sat in the conservatory overlooking the patio and garden. The food was really good, however they had no sparkling water! The staff were good and one showed us the family room (for a future stay there) which was nice and had a double bed and two singles, a lot... More

Big Lamp beers - superb condition and very very reasonably priced, it was £9-odd for four pints of excellent ales. Compare this to £13-odd in Newcastle's Centurion for four poorly kept beers later in the day. The friendly guy behind the bar was informative and knew his beers, always a good sign in a beer drinker's bar. Two of our... More

This place really annoys me. Great location, Real Ale and on a nice day there's no better place be... And that's where it stops... Where do I start...Firstly 'invest' ..modernise and give the place a really good clean. The outdoor furniture needs a good jet wash and a lick of varnish, as well replacing the 3 large umbrellas with outdoor... More

We stayed here earlier this week while visiting family nearby. It was a short drive into the centre of Newcastle. Our room was in a separate block a few yards away from the pub which meant it was quiet. The room was large, nice and warm on a very cold day, and spotlessly clean. Being next door to a pub/brewery... More

Have stayed here several times now (once for work but otherwise as a stopping off point on the way North/South). A genuine welcome, friendly and relaxing atmosphere, good food and great beer. The room was well maintained, clean and comfortable. We know the original owners who converted it from a derelict pumping station to a brewery, pub and B &... More

I stayed here two nights for work. Very clean and comfortable room and quiet - just what you need when you want a good night's sleep. I ate in the linked pub and it was fine. Breakfast was good - high-quality ingedients. I would certainly stay here again if I needed accommodation in the area.

The setting is lovely, the rooms are ok and clean, the staff are fantastic. The food is shockingly average, which is surprising considering the price. I was here for two and half weeks (work) and had two good meals. Fish and chips was good, steak and ale pie was ale gravy with a hint of beef, mixed grill is worth... More

We were in a separate single-storey building, so we were away from the pub and we had nobody on top of us. Excellent: it was extremely quiet. The rooms were large and well furnished, the bathroom was good. BUT... NO WiFi in the rooms, which is a pity. The food was very long to come to the table. It was... More
