No arrival details were sent, just a link to the hotels dot com app. Some simple instructions regarding the key safe used would have been appreciated. Luckily the girl in the bar had a scrap of paper with the details. The room was small but comfortable and nicely furnished. There's a kitchen/breakfast room with two chairs at a small bar. There's a fridge, toaster, microwave etc but no sink. Unfortunately, it was difficult to use the room because other guests had left three bikes in there, practically filling all the available space. Assuming the management don't actually condone this practice then it suggests a lack of supervision of the property. During the evening there was a lot of noise from the street outside which I assumed was from customers of the pub.

“Ok if you just need a bed and freshen up.”

Arrived around 5 pm, went up to the bar.

Arrived around 5 pm, went up to the bar. The young lady in the bar said we should have had an email and text explaining that cooked food was not available at the moment and we would have to go somewhere else for some food (we received no email or texts). We were then taken to our room and given a key. As we had been driving for over 7 hours, we had planned to eat our main meal when we arrived. As a result we walked over the bridge going over the river and found another pub/hotel who were very helpful and we had homemade steak and kidney pudding which was delicious. Our room had two single beds, a kettle with some tea and coffee. A built in wardrobe and en suite bathroom with a shower, toilet and wash basin. We also had towels, shampoo and shower gel supplied. The shower was ok for a freshen up. The beds were very soft and comfortable. Breakfast was in a small room downstairs which was a help yourself basis and you had a few cereals and bread/toast to choose from. We stayed for two nights, any longer would have been a bit of a push, but we only needed the room to stop over and it's in a nice quiet location. If you plan to get the train to Newcastle or Carlisle the train station is just down the road. There's lots of pretty areas close by. Overall, the service is very basic but it did the job for a short trip.
