The Howard Arms

Was horrendous wasn't allowed to leave the place after 11 o clock otherwise they won't let you in so ended up leaving in the middle of the night more like a homeless hostel than a b and b

A warm welcome and very comfortable stay. Plenty of nice touches to make this a great place to stay. Staff are friendly and very helpful - going the extra mile. Very comfortable bed and good quality bed linen and towels. Great atmosphere in the bar with plenty locals as well as the tourists. Great end to our Hadrians Wall trek.

The Howard Arms is our local pub, luckily only a walk away from home. We often eat there and regularly go to the monthly quiz’s, which we thoroughly enjoy. Thought it was about time I did a review … On this occasion, we went as a table of 4 for an evening meal on a Fri and booked in advance (online) as it is a very popular place. The pub was very busy and we had a nice table by the window, but sometimes the table layouts feel a little cramped, like you’re sitting on top of each other. It was a hot day outside so thankfully the 2 roaring fires weren’t on, as it can often get too hot. Really friendly staff and a great selection of things to eat, even for my vegetarian Mam. Food arrived and the presentation was excellent. I love the new plates! We all thoroughly enjoyed everything about our meals, each ordering something different. I adore the truffle & Parmesan fries or huge onion rings as a side. No room for a pud this time but we highly recommend the starters. Drinks are rather expensive (to my husbands dismay), but we absolutely love this place and always enjoy our visits here. Super selection of food on the breakfast & lunch menus too
