We were so disappointed with this B&B, but luckily the only bad experience we had in Northumberland. We think the room had been dressed with the nice bed for the booking photos as it certainly wasn’t the one we got. Rather we got the dirty rattan headboard (showed in another guest’s photo) and poor facilities. The plug point was nowhere near the mirror so I had to hunt down a reluctant man to ask for an extension head so I could dry my hair; and then the hairdryer didn’t work and had to hunt someone down again.

The surroundings are gorgeous, wonderful walks to be had. We were...
Read moreMy self and husband stayed for 4 nights end of June . On arrival we could see that rock moor house is a very special place . Our room was very clean + comfortable with lots of space . There was always plenty of hot water for showers + replacement towels + the furnishings are very nice. We had a good night's sleep as it's surrounded in countryside.
