Fitted the purpose, broke our journey from London to Northumberland. Food and cleanliness good.
Breakfast was fine. Pleasant and extensive gardens around the pub for sitting in and having a drink. The restaurant food was fine and we had a nice supper.
The breakfast table was laid up in your room on arrival as if you were about to eat it - cereals, jams etc. just sitting there using the only table. Write up suggested a basket of fruit, whereas it was a basket with breakfast cereals and a banana. It meant a basket with fruit and breakfast items but we felt it was written to mislead. If you stayed more than one night you would have to face that every day! Fine to have the items there already but why not in a cupboard or a small side table to one side? Room was very dark. Of course the type of building conversion did mean windows were few and far between. It would have been nice to have a large tray to take our breakfast into the garden as it was so gloomy in the room despite being a sunny day. The village was highly profiled by the Dove Inn as were the walking paths which in fact were all unkept and overgrown and in some cases the public footpaths were simply blocked off by locked field gates. Even the 'not to be missed' Laxton castle was not accessible and had been blocked to walkers. This of course is not The Dove Inn's responsibility.

Evening meal was great. Lovely big bedroom
Tiny bathroom and distinctly average breakfast in the room. Not even any butter for the toast! Bathroom sink was so tiny there wasn't even space for soap!

Comfy and well equipped accommodation in specila
Location special in historical village. The host/landlord was friendly and helpful. good tasty food in the pub. Comfy mattress in well equipped room. Nice and quiet.
The breakfast was 'carby' and pre-packed cereals and pastries. Toast was nice but needed some ham or cheese or other savoury option. Marmite?
