Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We stopped for 1 night. The rooms were absolutely spotless, had everything you needed for a B&B. We were able to check in sooner than 3pm. the food was lovely. Great location, there was a hotel with a bar within about a 15 min walk. The couple who own it were really friendly. Weve already booked up to go back in june.
A very nice and comfortable place to stay, welcoming and friendly staff, bar and restaurant excellent great selection choices on the evening meal and great breakfast.
Very cool location. Dinner at the inn was very nice, butake sure not to arrive too late. Breakfast was very tasty. Well worth a return visit. We woke to resident wandering the hillside while hunting

Excellent place to stay
Rooms are clean, tidy, spacious and the beds are very comfortable.
Breakfast is very good and the staff are well organised. The food for the evening meal is nothing short of outstanding.
Highly recommend this place.
We enjoyed our stay at Blenkinsopp Castle Inn. Room was bright clean and comfortable. Meals were very good and enjoyed exploring the Castle next door. Good location for visiting Hadrian’s wall.
Gary and his wife and staff where excellent.
There nothing I could add as the place is perfect food was top notch and the bed was perfect.
I would definitely stay there over any other place if staying in the area again
Our family of 4 enjoyed seeing the castle on the property. It made it exciting for our two boys to explore the ruins. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. We would stay there again if in the area!
This was a good location for what we wanted, we were visiting Vindolanda, Chester’s & Housesteads, these were all very easy to get to by car. Breakfast was nice, we ate here in the evening and again it was all good. Small but nice eating area. Friendly staff.
This Inn has been the highlight of our trip. The owners and staff are gracious and kind. Gary went out of his way to be helpful. The room was cute, clean, and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were AMAZING! We loved this place.
This is a gem in the country outside Carlisle. Super friendly people, great food and after a quick chat with Gary, lots of interesting history both past and present. Well worth a visit. Ideally situated for a number of Hadrians wall sites.
Great venue and room. Super team looking after you. We were here same time last year to walk Hadrians Wall ,& enjoyed just as much. Great restaurant & we won the evening quiz! Highly recommended.
Amazing, unique place that offers a unique experience. The rooms are small but well appointed. They are dog friendly in the rooms as well as pub/restaurant. The ruins are available to be toured and the local residents add a lovely addition to the experience.
To note, the pub/restaurant/check in does not open at all until 3 pm so don’t arrive early.
Food and drink are excellent.
