- The room was a little bleak and dark. A large sign for the hostel is attached to a neighbouring building, making the neighbouring building look like the hostel. The drying room was not well heated.

+ This was a cheap option cycling on the route 72, feels a bit like a camp you would go to in school but this was what I was expecting. Needs a bit of TLC but does the job. Spent most of the time in the sister pub over the road. Ideal if you want cheap accommodation right on cycle route 72.

Quadruple Room with Shared Bathroom Quadruple Room with Shared Bathroom May 19, 2025 review category group of friends
+ Hotel and hostel are on opposite sides of the old main road, now very quiet due to the trunk road which baypasses the town. Three cask ales in the bar were fine, food was excellent both evening meal and breakfast (£15!), service good. Beer is a bit pricey, but spirits were a bargain. Large carpark and small beer garden at the rear The hostel was fine and good value - we had a triple room with a small bathroom nearby, and there is a larger room of showers and wcs downstairs/upstairs for men/women. All fine, especially when it was fairly empty, might be more frustrating when it’s full/busy, but the hostel is fine and cheap with a decent hotel/pub over the road. Buses to/from Haltwhistle (nearest train station) stops outside
− The meal and drinks in the hotel were great, but a bit pricy
