Travellers Rest

Nine of us went for lunch and received a warm welcome. The pub is cosy without being cramped and the beer was excellent. I have to say I think I had the best Haddock and chips I have ever eaten. The fish was perfectly cooked and flaked into juicy slices, the batter was crisp and the chips were fresh , Everyone was impressed with their meal. The bar was lined with old wood and had a comfortable feel. I do worry about the future of small pubs like this with the impending cost rises and hope it can weather the recession, because its a gem.

A brilliant little pub and hotel Was made to feel so welcome The staff are lovely people The breakfast and evening meal was out standing The room was immaculate Definatley worth a visit 😃😃😃 Can’t reccomend the place enough Hexham is only a 10 monute drive away Could be walked x

My husband walked St Wilfrid’s Way during our summer holiday (Hexham to Edinburgh), and Travellers Rest provided our accommodation and meals for the first legs of the walk. (I drove him to his start points and picked him up at the end of each day…it wouldn’t have worked using public transport). Darren and Ian were very friendly and welcoming (as were the bar staff) and the food Ian prepared was delicious. Sometimes we eat in the restaurant, and other times we had dinner in the bar, which was always buzzing with local residents and farmers. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. If we’re ever back in this part of the country, we’d stay again.

From start to finish the staff were outstanding, friendly and helpful, food was incredible, the menu had a good choice and the room was clean with a fantastic view. Highly recommend if you want a cosy night away
