Small, welcoming, traditional hotel by the historic brig over the Tyne in a pretty conservation village. There is a cosy public bar featuring beers from Scottish Breweries. To the rear is a pleasant coffee/dinning lounge while upstairs there is a large restaurant with modern styling. The emphasis is on local produce, especially the steaks which reflects the owners previous occupation as a butcher. Lunches are not served Monday to Friday, but food is served all day on Saturday and Sunday. Stained glass windows and a roof top statue indicate the hotel's former name of the Red Lion.
