My partner and I recently stayed at the newly refurbished Kirkstyle Inn, and it was absolutely amazing! The decor and overall design of the property is very tasteful, blending modern elegance with rustic charm perfectly.The evening meal was an absolute highlight. We dined with friends and all agreed the food was outstanding.The bar had a fantastic atmosphere, it feels like a really welcoming hub of the community.The attention to detail in the room design made it feel like a really luxury, boutique, romantic escape. We had a brilliant night's sleep in probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.The Kirkstyle is a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys a scenic drive. It's 100% worth the journey. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or simply want to indulge in exceptional cuisine, this place is a hidden gem worth discovering.

I am blown away, stunning location with incredible views as the sun began to set. This place is so far out of ‘the way’ yet local enough to return - which we will. It actually only took 38 minutes from Hexham to reach the venue and we were smiling all the way once we left the A69. Beautiful roads, that twist and turn through stunning Northumberland and then you happen across a lone pub. But this is no ordinary pub, from the immaculate exterior to the modern take on a barn conversion/meets country pub/meets cosy restaurant - all in one. Its perfection is reserved however for the very attentive and professional staff, who bring humour and warmth to the occasion. Then the food comes…. What a flavour explosion. Every mouthful of the delicately laid out plates takes on a new peak of taste explosion, teasing you further into the dish. A country pub might be expected to overload a plate to ensure that quantity over quality is assured - but this is a work of art, experienced by many eyes who watch master chef on the TV, yet here we are sat in Slaggyford!!
I don’t really want to tell you all this as I can’t see being able to get a table again until 2024, especially since the Times and Observer glowingly reviewed this place too…. But I want the friendly staff and the incredible chef to get the merit they deserve. So yes, definitely the best meal I’ve had in 2023 and possibly of all time.
Don’t take my word for it, but don’t delay as I can’t see the ‘£30 for three courses’ price tag staying much longer.

Great place, we live locally and have been several times. There’s a bar area with limited seating, a main dining room and a side dining room.The food is excellent and broadly well priced, with some pricier options for those who want it. Service isn’t fawning but is friendly and thoughtful.Beer options are fine, pretty standard, and cocktails are very cheap.They’ve been reviewed well by the Guardian and in Good Food lists so pretty full all the time now.Some odd reviews here - someone who didn’t like loud people drinking (spoiler: it’s a pub with locals) and someone who hated tipping 10%. Ignore them. It’s great.

A delightful Sunday lunch with great food, nice beer, a warm fire and beautiful snowy views. There looks like there are some amazing walks nearby, so next time we'll be back for a hike & a meal.

Superb pub in a beautiful location, very near Hadrian Wall. The rooms are very comfortable and nicely decorated. The food mostly uses very local products, and the wine selection is excellent ! A new must-visit address !

Stunning location, great environment just a shame the food doesn’t match the former. Indeed there wasn’t quite enough food to make a judgement. My priority is always the quality of the food not the quantity but when you only have a couple of mouthfuls, for a main course that costs £25 with no complimentary vegetables or indeed complimentary anything, followed by a pudding that also leaves you wanting more, the only feeling I was left with was overall disappointment….and hunger!!! I would love to have made a plan to return but this will not happen… even the view is not enough…..

By chance, I saw the Grace Dent review of this place on the morning I was travelling up to Lambley for a boys weekend from Kent, so hardly local. Really lovely food, friendly service and facilities. The view out of the window is stunning too. Would highly recommend to anyone (and I have!). Astonishingly good value too.

Lovely building that has recently been tastefully refurbished. We had booked for lunch and they had no problem with fitting us in an hour early.The welcome was warm and the service was friendly and very efficient. Very tasty food with quality ingredients, and a very reasonable set menu. The house beers are also highly recommended.Would absolutely visit again, and considering staying in one of their rooms next trip...

Lovely meal to end our holiday in Slaggyford. Tasty food, nice ambience and good service. 3 courses for £30 is excellent value. Cucumber and Elderflower Collins cocktail was delicious!
