The Blackcock Inn at Falstone — Restaurant in England

I came across the Blackcock Inn when booking an experience at Kielder Observatory - we were holidaying up in the Borders but wanted somewhere closer for a night. Change of plan meant we then booked 2 nights, all the time liaising with Katie through email about our booking. She was incredibly helpful answering any questions I had.||We arrived for check in at 4pm. The pub is easy enough to find from the main road and parking is just by the side of the pub facing the road. Katie checked us in and showed us to our room, which is gorgeous. Love the quaintness of the decoration and the shower gels/soaps in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely and warm. Plenty of tea and coffee bits to keep my husband happy!||Food was fabulous, so much so we ate dinner at the pub both days. Breakfast was also great; plenty of choice and the hot food was freshly cooked. I can highly recommend the Nachos starter!||We had keys to come and go as we please which was helpful for our Kielder Observatory event. You can hear noise from the pub but we understood this and it didn’t disturb us when resting in the evenings. It is clear that the inn is popular with locals and visitors alike which is always a great sign!||Honestly we have loved our stay so much and we are considering coming back to explore the National Park. All the staff are very friendly and genuinely cannot do enough for you. We had a bad experience at a different inn which had put us off staying at pub inns but the Blackcock Inn has totally changed our opinion. I was slightly under the weather on our second day so we spent a lot of time at the inn and we believe it is absolutely worth the price we paid for the room.||Highly recommend the Blackcock Inn, particularly the Peacock room.

A very hit and miss experience which was only disappointing due to the menu. We'd cycled from Durham to stay overnight at Falstone. The three of us booked the family room, consisting of a double, bunk and single bed with ensuite bathroom, more than suitable to our requirements. We had browsed the evening meal menu provided and made our choices before heading down to the bar to order. On ordering it turned out only the evening board could be ordered from, which left the vegetarian in the group one option only, a Margherita pizza which was far from ideal. When the food was brought to the table there was a mix up with the order with the vegetarian given a pepperoni pizza. Luckily the error was spotted before he tucked in. Was not happy to say the least. Breakfast was okay, although again some of the items on the room menu had been removed when we went down to eat which was disappointing. A real shame as the two girls who served us, especially the young lass who made the breakfasts was very easy to talk too and had some good banter with us. Seems like a decent place overall, just beware of your menu...
