The Avenue in County Durham

Fue cálidamente recibido por Rich y Claire a su llegada. Nos alojamos por una noche y era exactamente lo que necesitaba, habitación estaba bien surtida con té y café apropiado! (una vista rara en los hoteles en estos días! ) La habitación también estaba bien climatizada para la época del año. Desayuno - un montón de opciones disponibles, incluyendo una opción vegetariana y vegana.

Such a lovely place a little rough on the edges but the staff are so friendly and helpful the breakfast was really good lovely hot rooms with plenty of hot water . Lovely and comfortable beds and pillows, and not short on the coffees and teas and lovely biscuits, a credit to Rich and Claire Thank you very much for a GREAT stay

Si pudiera dar más de 5 de 5 lo haría. Rich, Clare, Lisa y el equipo fueron más allá durante nuestra estancia. Normalmente nos alojamos en hoteles de 5 estrellas, así que esta fue una nueva experiencia para nosotros. La cama y almohadas más cómodas, junto con ropa de cama y toallas de calidad encantadora y abundante agua caliente. El desayuno que estaba recién cocinado para nosotros era delicioso. El pub tenía un ambiente agradable encantador con buena comida. Ubicación ideal para Durham con parada de autobús justo fuera del pub. Nos alojamos durante 9 días durante Navidad y Año Nuevo y sin duda nos alojaremos de nuevo si volvemos al noreste de Inglaterra

We booked our Xmas dinner for our family of 8, We were welcomed by the manageress who looked after us tirelessly throughout, beautiful meal from start to finish (compliments to the chef) didn't have to wait, very relaxed atmosphere. A big thank you to Nick and his staff for a really friendly service. Definitely booking for Xmas 25!!

The food took 55 minutes to come on a Sunday lunchtime. One meal didn't turn up, untill 65 minutes because the chefs forgot about it. On a positive note, the waitress was fantastic & the Guinness was very good.

Stayed one night - everything great . Warm, helpful staff , very clean room with comfy bed, fabulous breakfast. Parking available. Very easy ro get into Durham. All at a very reasonable price. Thanks for a great stay.

El desayuno era muy agradable. Clare y Rich eran tan acogedores. La comida de noche también spot on! Ubicación cerca del centro, así que ideal para desplazarse a la ciudad!

A great pub serving lovely sour dough pizzas and reasonably priced beer. We stayed the night in a lovely room which also provides 10% off food and drink. We stayed here for an O2 concert and I couldn't recommend highly enough.

Positive friendly bar staff. Need a guest ale or two for local palette

Great atmosphere,food excellent,well worth a visit

Great food, well priced and nice beer. Bar staff were lovely

Just got home after spending a few days in Durham, staying at the Avenue with Karen and Peter they were lovely hosts, all staff very friendly and courteous. Rooms clean ,breakfast tasty ..what more could you ask for. Beamish great but oh my legs are tired 😫 lots of walking. Will stay again. Thank you. Tony and Kate from Flamborough.

Didn't eat. Nice atmospheric pub with excellent and friendly service. Good outdoor seated areas and a good reputation for food.

Este pub es una joya escondida justo al lado de la carretera principal y bien vale la pena visitar. Buen bar, elección de cervezas, buen servicio y la comida era excelente. Tomé lasaña y el resto de queso, tomates y carne estaba en el lugar, pero más al punto las hierbas especiales le dieron un delicioso sabor único... cumplidos al chef. Observé que en la parte trasera hay una bonita zona de jardín cubierta exterior que también tenía una pantalla de televisión . . . bueno para las familias. Más grande de lo esperado de frente con habitaciones separadas para aquellos que quieren una zona tranquila.

This was our first visit of many during the week. Very friendly staff.

We have just come back from a weekend break and stayed at the avenue, we received a very warm welcome from Clare, who made us feel right at ease, nothing was too much trouble. Our tea and coffee hadn’t been refilled and Clare refilled us up straight away no qualms what so ever even though it was evening . Clare really made our stay and we said we would come back due to the friendly staff Lisa was also very welcoming and they both made us feel at home, would definitely recommend but that is due to such lovely staff.

Nos alojamos aquí por segunda vez, nuestra estancia fue muy relajante y nos hicieron sentir muy en casa, Clare era muy educado, amigo realmente nos hizo sentir muy bienvenido, nada de cera a muchos problemas para ella en absoluto, ella realmente hizo nuestra estancia y verdaderamente es una afirmación para el pub. Nuestro. La oferta había sido rellenada, inmediatamente lo arregló con una disculpa y se aseguró de que nos ordenaran inmediatamente. El pub como un ambiente acogedor de guerra que lleva adelante a su personal. En el desayuno Lisa era muy amable y educado. Las señoras hicieron nuestra estancia, pero el servicio al cliente de Clare y cálida bienvenida realmente va más allá. Volveremos, pero por Clare

Gran pub lovley personal, ambiente agradable grandes bebidas y comida, grandes pantallas de televisión y jardín de cerveza y jardín delantero con asientos una joya en la corona de Durhams.

We enjoyed our time at The Avenue , staff very helpful and pleasant, breakfast was great. Drinks good value. We would stay again.

1 vez en la calle va esta noche un poco de una crítica mixta. Somos una familia de 4 (uno de los cuales le gusta todo claro) Hija y marido querían pizza, pero no quedaba nada. Logré encontrar algo más. Llegaron nuestras comidas y la que estaba totalmente clara estaba cubierta de todo, así que tuve que enviarla de vuelta. Tomó unos 15-20 minutos para el reemplazo, así que estaba sentado sin comida, mientras que 3 de nosotros teníamos el nuestro . . el personal se disculpó, pero fue simplemente incómodo para él) Finalmente todos comimos. La comida estaba bien, pero no muy bien. Tamaño de porción muy pequeño para el precio. No comíamos mucho pero teníamos que conseguir comida de camino a casa. El personal al frente era encantador y amable, las bebidas estaban bien, pero la comida no era suficiente

Popped in to The Avenue on the way back to Yorkshire from South Tyneside with my daughter as didn't fancy yet another McDonald's at the services. Nice food, lovely staff, lovely clean pub and definitely recommended!

Great friendly place to stop for a drink. Nice to sit on the benches outside the pub.

Loved it. Very quaint pub and very friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable. I only had breakfast there which was delicious but the rest of the food smelt amazing.

Only stayed one night but had a lovely stay.

My family arranged a 60th birthday party at The Avenue. The staff were all really welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious and the singer added an extra special touch. I’d highly recommend this venue for any celebration events you have upcoming. 🥂 🍹🍻 🎶🎤💖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stayed on the Friday night first time we’ve been able to get a night away stayed in room 6 again as it’s our favourite room last few times we have stayed here Walked in and Claire behind the bar sorted us out from the minute we walked in till the minute we got back in the car she was an amazing host and made sure we had anything and everything we needed from a fan for the room to buckets of ice for our drinks She was even by herself in the morning as the bus the chef was on broke down and she made a spot on breakfast to send us on our way Can’t fault Claire or the room Will be back asap

Called here for a meal with my daughter after a full day at the Miners Gala. Food was excellent, good choice of drinks and the service was really good, attentive but not overly so. Prices extremely teasonable

Came in for quiz night, had a two course meal for 12.99 each, food well worth it, onion rings were the best I’ve had, desert was amazing, good choice of non alcoholic drinks, good atmosphere, staff helpful.

One of the best Sunday lunches (if not the best in County Durham). The service was brilliant too and very reasonably priced for such delicious food. The outside and inside areas are lovely. Claire was brilliant. We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend.

It took 45 minutes for the meals to arrive in a half empty restaurant. Meals arrived, beef was chewy, no stuffing with the chicken, mash potato cold. Waited 20 Minutes for dessert only to be told that One of them wasn’t available so had to wait another 5 minutes, after reminding the waitress again. Would not come back.

Sat outside and had a nice cool beer

I took my family for lunch on Monday 27 th 2024. It was a terrible lunch for us all. No fishfingers which were on the menu.I had egg chips and asked for bread and butter. The chips were frozen chips not fresh the egg was over cooked and I was given a brioche bun with no butter as they said they had no bread. My husband had the steak and mushroom sandwich which was as dry as a bone and just as hard and again frozen chips. The steak my grandson had was over cooked again with frozen chips.the last meal was lasagne also with over cooked chips .this was with only soft drinks.for this we were charged £73 pounds. I have eaten around locally a few times in the last few weeks but I have never had anything so horrible. Support the local pub for a drink but not for food.Sorry.

Stayed here as visiting friends in area. Fabulously friendly, helpful staff. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast delicious. Great value for money. Thank you 🙏

Wonderful, attentive and friendly staff. Beautiful outdoor seating area where we were served our delicious food. Well cooked, presented well and all freshly prepared. Dog friendly so water bowls available. Very reasonably priced so overall our visit could not have been improved on and will be returning soon, as well as recommending to all friends and visitors.

Absolutely amazing little pub, loved it.

Stayed here for a night away and they were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again ☺️

First day of new menu. Had the mushroom and tarragon pudding. It wasn't very warm, couldn't really taste the mushrooms for the overwhelming taste of tarragon and the pudding was more pastry like and pretty hard to cut. It was accompanied by peas which were the only vegetable offered and they were from a freezer bag. Also on the plate were roast potatoes, also from a freezer bag, both potatoes and peas were also only luke warm. Husband had sausage and mash with an Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire pud. Desserts were much better. The serving staff were lovely and friendly. When I asked if there was any other veg than peas the waitress concurred with me when I was surprised. She said the decisions were made high above their heads. Shame really as the Avenue food used to be lovely. Now I wouldn't bother!

Quick trip to Durham . Left car and jumped on £2 bus into city . Lovely hosts and staff, if up this way again would certainly come back . Nice atmosphere in bar. Bedroom clean tidy and comfortable .

Chips, onion rings - double fried. Bar was good but ate on two nights. Bangers and mash not fresh and, as stated above, all fries were over-fried

We booked for a party of 6 today for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere was really nice and warm, service efficient and friendly and the food was very tasty. Highlights of everyone’s meals were the chicken, Yorkshire puddings and sausages. The portions were good size and we were all full! Desserts also lovely particularly apple & raspberry crumble and brownie fudge cake. We will definitely be going again. Highly recommended. Thank you for a fab lunch. Well done

What a warm welcome I had at The Avenue Inn. The staff are very friendly and helpful (Thanks Claire). I stopped here overnight for work and thoroughly enjoyed the food( spot on breakfast!!!). Monday night was quiz night with prize money,if you were good!! and not to serious. Rooms very clean with a good tea/coffee section and biscuits. Great value for money and would definitely stay here again.

Lovely night with live music and nice wine 🍷

Sunday lunch was delicious, the place has come on a long way in the last few weeks. Kids portions were just right. Comfy, cosy and warm welcome. We will be returning!

Had a great weekend here, made to feel really welcomed, lovely clean rooms with a lush soft bed, and a good cooked breakfast, so thank you to Claire and her staff who made our stay a joy,

Very welcoming stop whilst travelling up the A1(M). Very tasty Sunday lunch, would definitely recommend the two minute detour.

First time calling into the Avenue and it was a great choice. The bar is really welcoming with friendly staff and a really pleasant atmosphere. We had the set menu special offer (2 courses for £11.95) and the food was excellent. This is a great local pub and restaurant and we’ll definitely be back.

Apparently known for its food but the kitchen was closed when we arrived. A new manager had just taken over and told us that they were still recruiting for a chef. Beer was OK but atmosphere was dead at lunchtime midweek.

Had a great weekend at The Avenue. Now under new management. Live music on Saturday was excellent. Very friendly staff and welcoming feel. Room was very comfortable. Good breakfast. Sunday lunch was good value. Will definitely be back.

Unfortunately it’s gone down hill but hopefully with a few changes it will be great again Visited on 27/11/23 upon arrival lady working the bar was chatting to someone at end of bar having waited 5/10 minutes approached to ask if the kitchen was open, she stated no in a sharp tone and rolled eyes An explication on when it may reopen or modified tone would have gone a long way. We were visiting with family from out of the area and they commented how rude and cold service was.

3 night stay at the avenue. Very friendly team. We were well looked after. Local kindly booked us a taxi with friendly taxi driver. Sadly no food in evenings but city centre not far away.

Karen was an.excellent host going the mile to make us food when we arrived. Lovely friendly pub, comfortable bed and hot shower. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended. Would stay again.

Many thanks to Karen and Co. Excellent service. She went out her way to make our stay that much more comfortable. Highly recommended. Would stay again..

I was staying here on business and all the staff and landlady were fantastic and friendly. Great breakfast and a lovely comfortable room. All very reasonably priced.

Lovely place and friendly atmosphere,

This is a cracking bar for afternoon drinks in the sun. Nice outdoor area would definitely recommend reasonably price.

We walked to this village pub and decided to have food. The drinks were a fair price, and there appeared a decent menu. We had some chicken fillets to start, which were okay. However, the mains are very dreadful. The chips on both meals looked as though they had been fried ten times, simply burnt as was the fish which was simply inedible. The excuse for mushy peas was dry and bland. The gammon was overcooked, and both meals were saturated with salt - but no condiments on the outside table. The lady serving was pleasant enough, and we gave feedback. She advised the locals don't go anymore - I won't be going back either. Part of the excuse was that they didn't decide the food - Punch Taverns agreed on the menu - that was irrelevant as no matter how good the food was it was massively overcooked and laced with salt.

Good food, good service and friendly staff ⁹

Where do I start ! The Avenue is wonderful!! Cosy atmosphere in a lovely village setting. Karen and Peter could not do enough for us and made our stay very special. The food is scrumptious pub grub. Would recommend the apple and raspberry crumble. If you are looking for a weekend away in Durham this is a great base with handy local transport links. 5 star stay !!

What has happened to this place? Once a thriving heart of the community now a home to vulgar loud mouthed scroats who have somehow been allowed to make this their hangout.

Lovely pub. Lovely staff. Lovely room. Pity about the tea. Yorkshire tea would be an improvement

We went here because it was recommended to us. Food and service were excellent. We will visit here again soon.

This is my local pub but embarrassingly , until tonight , I hadn't been there for about 40 years. The fact that I only consume soft drinks because of having been on long - term medication for 35 of those years may well have something to do with it ! Enough of me !! ... I find the price of sift drinks alarming these days but tonight at £2.70 for a pint of coke , this was very competitive compared with up to £3.40 elsewhere in the North East Region. It was an informative flier by relatively new owners of the Avenue that enticed me tonight's Monday night quiz. Enjoyed the experience as much as a single person can up against regular , pretty cliquey groups of quizzers ( No criticism .. I used to be exactly the same backnin the day when taking part in quizzes on a regular basis ) I was particularly well received by a young , female barperson who was most polite and friendly whilst pouring my drink. As previously mentioned my reviews centre on personnel.rather than products or fayre so I try to engage in a little conversation with staff without hampering service efficiency ! In a brief exchange I discovered this girl was going to sit her A level exam in Law this May but wanted also to gain some monetary independence for herself by putting in as many hours behind the bar as possible. She said she was confident she had struck the right work / study balance and I was impressed at her having such an old head on young shoulders so speak. In addition to this she served me complimentary pizza and garlic bread as a reward for coughing up the £2 quiz entry fee. Lastly I'm a great fan of quizzes but notoriously hopeless with music questions. Again this proved to be my downfall tonight ( Aye the music questions were ROCK HARD ..sorry about that one ! ) When the results were declared , the pleasant female host spared my blushes when only broadcasting the top 3 teams. A bit unfair I thought... as a single home owner I don't have many kitchen utensils ...... Where's my WOODEN SPOON ?! Joking aside this establishment is well worth a visit and I'll probably be more accepted socially next time if I choose a different night to attend than quiz night ! With thanks ELLIS COXON.

We stayed at the B&B and had a meal in the pub. I went up to the bar with the menu and as I ordered I pointed at each item as I ordered them. I ordered a caesar salad SIDE salad and pointed at it too. I was asked if I wanted chicken and declined as I am veggie. What came was a plate of lettuce, a few croutons and one boiled egg. OK as a side salad - just. When the bill came we had been charged for a MAIN dish caesar salad. To be honest I hadn't even spotted that there was that option on the menu. When I queried it the lady with the red hair just shrugged and said that was what I had been served and had eaten. NO WAY was that worth £10. No way did it resemble a main dish. I felt totally ripped off and was so shocked I paid - also bearing in mind we were staying that night. Coupled with the shocking room we were allocated we will never be darkening the doors of The Avenue again - shame as our last experience was OK and we'll be up and down to Durham a lot over the next 3 years with our son at uni there.

Saw the reviews thought "it's only lunch, it can't be that bad" wrong, barely a handful of chips, measley chicken in the wrap. I won't go back

Another pub from my past! Probably forty years since I last visited. Nicely renovated, good range of beers, obviously popular with locals. Good service, nice smile. Outside tables.

Absolutely disgusting meal for 7 of us. Everyone was disappointed gray fish, anaemic chips, cremated lasagne and the worst garlic bread ever. Wish I’d read the reviews first will never go again.

Seven of my friends and I booked a 7pm lunch. A young lady took order for drinks and dlivered them. One member went to the bar as we had waited for a long time to place meal orders. Main meal orders were taken by another lady but it took more than 1 hour before we were served. A few members ordered curries but they appeared to be on a plate sized piece of naan bread which spoilt the flavour. The gammon was dry as the small amount of fat had been removed before cooking. The table was cleared by the second lady. She realised the party had been badly treated and offered free coffee. The venue had been recently taken over by a new owner. The owner needs to greatly improve the service.

The host was lovely, so attentive and kind. The rooms were clean, well stocked and in a beautiful area just outside durham.

Emailed the hotel a few days before we arrived. Asking how far they were from the Riverside cricket ground, as we were going to a concert there. Was told it was 15 minutes away and the bus stopped directly outside the hotel. I was not told that the bus only ran once an hour and to get to the Riverside it would take a change of bus in Durham. This would take around 2 hours, not 15 minutes.l we got a taxi there, that the hotel did phone and was told if we needed any help returning, just to phone. We did this as we were stranded after coming out the Riverside. No buses and all taxis were pre booked. The hotel told us they could do nothing. Eventually after a long walk we found a pub were a member of staff called us a taxi. When we arrived at the hotel I asked what time the bar closed. I was told 22.45 and I asked was it open later to residents with no answer. After I complained by email about the service. I was told the bar had been kept open incase we wanted a night cap. The room was small. The bed like a brick. Breakfast was poor quality sausage and bacon. Coffee was tasteless. The hotel was not cheap £130 a night. In the middle of nowhere. Costing us £60 in taxis. I would not recommend this hotel and the staff need some basic trAinin6 on customer service.

Have been a regular here for years! Service was absolutely terrible, staff calling customers who were sitting outside the bar to one of their parents sat at the end of the bar. No manors what do ever. Waiting staff also opening calling colleagues “the chef hasn’t got a clue what day of the week it is” Rude is an understatement. Rolling of eyes and down right blunt. When the food did eventually arrive it was average at best. Staff would rather stand and chat/call other customers than collect glasses and cutlery or be hospitable! Massively down hill. Won’t be back! Such a shame to see such a great pub go so far downhill.

Fantastisk godt sted. Venligt personale. Skøn morgenmad og aftensmad. Gode senge.

Very very disappointed as the food used to be good however the Sunday lunch was miserable! Roast beef was tough and vegetables were frozen with tiny portions of everything! We won’t be back!!!

Stayed here for the Pink concert at Sunderland. Easy to find and a great place to stay. Friendly and welcoming owners. Great spacious room, lovely little touches with decent tea and coffee tray, big fluffy towels, toiletries etc. And the beds, wow, like sleeping on a fluffy cloud.. So so comfortable - I slept like a log. The only reason I got out of bed was because of the option of eggs benedict for breakfast! Highly recommend this place.

Amazing place food amazing staff amazing eds really comfy

Recently visited here with friend's the rooms are lovely with nice comfy beds , breakfast was very nice , all of the staff made us feel very welcome we will certainly return .

Three night stay, warm friendly greeting from staff on arrival and throughout our stay. Thanks Amy for the Vodka sling 😉 Lovely clean, spacious room and very comfortable bed. We had room 6 which has low beams not a problem for me, the other half however is 6ft he used his common sense and ducked! We were offered another room but declined as it was such a lovely room. Tea/coffee facilities with extras. Large bathroom with Bath and overhead shower, Delicious breakfasts and really lovely hosts thankyou, nothing to much trouble. Our family of 8 ate in the pub good choice on menu and very nice food. Good location for Durham, keep up the excellent work and will definitely stay here again.

Nice pint, nice burger, nice chips, nice staff. Yep, this place screams nice.

Lovely meal Called in for the 1st time in months Karan was very friendly and welcoming we decided to have a meal and what a great choice that was food was excellent and a great offer of a drink for £1 each which made it even better they really want to make a go of the place and I wish them all the best we will be back

Great place - comfortable rooms, lovely food served by friendly staff who go out of their way to make you welcome. Dog friendly too. Would highly recommend.

Warm and friendly welcome. We were attending a nearby festival and stopped two nights. Really nice place, the food is really nice but it was the warm welcome on arriving that really was the icing on the cake. Even if you are only dining I would listen to Karen's recommendations, she was spot on.

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Had a portion of Dirty Fries which were tasty. OK drinks selection (I am quite fussy about drinks) but my husband enjoyed a couple of pints of Neck Oil which he said is one of the 'in' brands now. Would go back again

Really nice food. Friendly staff. Nice chicken strips and hallomi sticks. Good portions of all food. Excellent chef and staff. Nothing is an issue for any of the staff. Good affordable prices would recommend the Avenue pub Inn Shincliffe to all as a good experience for food drink and nights out.

Quite disappointed. We’ve been here several times in the last few months but tonight was disappointing. The pie was hard as if it had been reheated, and my daughters dirty fries was a heart attack waiting to happen, cheese cheese cheese. Couldn’t see anything but cheese, no spring onions and for £6.50 what a waste of money as she left them. Also the bar maid was not interested and quite rude. We had to ask for menus as she was too busy talking to her friend who was sat at the bar. She wasn’t friendly or welcoming which we’ve always had previously. Not sure if we will return !!!

Lovely place but the food is absolutely shocking. Always wanted to try the place as it’s set in a lovely village and always lit up nice so decided to give it a try. Staff are friendly and welcoming but the food was so poor. What...

Nice pub. But terrible food. My friend and I went mid week ordered scampi and chips and a steak ale pie. Took over 50mins to come to the table. The scampi was dry and very over cooked and the chips were lukewarm peas were frozen and under cooked. Very disappointing. 😊

First time in this pub. Very nice evening all round. Friendly staff, great food and a great ambiance. The steak and ale pie and the apple crumble were super tasty

The food was absolutely terrible, It’s been taking over it use to be beautiful couldn’t fault them, we drove 25min to get there and was so disappointed we left after our starters. Would definitely never return again. My partner is stuck on the toilet

We arrived after having booked online and were sat promptly. Drinks came and we ordered for the kids. Children's Mac and cheese was the only good meal of the lot. My husband ordered the ribs and wings. What was served could only be described as...

Went for lunch and wow! Great portions and we ordered off the set lunchtime menu and like most places because of the set menue expected a smaller portion size, the set menu for the particularday we visited also had an option to buy a drink...

Stayed at the Avenue in February for my wife's birthday. Great location for Durham City centre. Just 10 mins on the bus. Staff were very friendly and helpful 🙂

Very nice room. Very nice bar staff. Very good entertainment. Very good beer.

Great Sunday lunch well worth a visit

Great pub. Room was lovely, bed ridiculously comfy, breakfast was lovely. Peaceful location and sold my favourite Inchs cider

We stayed here for three nights in room 1. The room was comfortable and quiet as we had requested and the breakfast was also very good. The hosts made us feel very welcome. We didn’t eat here in the evening but we heard others comment...

Went on a recommendation for Sunday lunch. The service was prompt if abrupt. The food was ok but the promised crackling with the belly pork did not materialise. It’s a nice cosy pub but we will not be going back.

Weekend away in the area. Great place to stay with a friendly Landlord and helpful, polite Staff. The Pub was spotlessly clean and well presented. Food was excellent with a good breakfast in the morning. Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Great little hotel with good links to Durham city centre. The bar does a great selection of food and drinks. The bed was comfortable and the room was very nice and clean. Breakfast was great with lots of options. Great for the price highly recommended would definitely recommend thanks for a pleasant night

Oh boy. Booked table for 7pm, arrived at 6.50, server said that we were probably booked in restaurant, not a good start. Were sat at table and drinks order taken within 10 min. Server came for orders, we ordered 3 bar snacks instead of starters...

Fab wee place to stay. Welcoming staff, lovely room, fantastic food and drinks, all at a very reasonable price. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to steep stairs.

Great local pub with excellent Sunday lunches.
