Overnight stay withh friends to enjoy a luxury dinner with fine wines. We were not disappointed! Comfortable and cosy bar with log fire for pre dinner drinks. Excellent dinner and wines - a very knowledgeable somelier which is always a plus.

Had a fantastic night away at The Kirkstyle Inn - everything was just as we hoped. The North Pennines is stunningly beautiful at any time of year and makes the perfect backdrop - the fact it’s accessible from the doorstep gives the venue a level of appeal that just couldn’t be replicated in any other setting. Beautifully presented room, thoughtfully decorated and equipped made the perfect retreat and the tasting menu and wine flight were truly exceptional - coupled with the passion and knowledge of the whole front of house team and their commitment to the locally sourced sourced waste…

Amazing stay in the most wonderful surroundings. Amazing views from the rooms and perfectly quiet in the mornings. The evenings get busy downstairs but at least it quietened down from around 11pm. We had the tasting menu and shared a wine flight. It was one of our standout meals for sometime. The chef, Callum came out to talk us through the ethos and how they’re trying to become more and more sustainable. We will certainly be back in the coming months, to explore the surrounding area.

We had a wonderful weekend at the Kirkstyle enjoying the local area and all the amazing amenities. Our room was exquisitely furnished. The attention to detail was fabulous right down to a little reminder about the clocks changing. The food was a real treat, delicious and all locally sourced. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive in helping us maximise our time in Northumbria. Thank you.

This is an amazing hotel and restaurant offering fine dining in a very friendly and welcoming pub atmosphere. We stayed for three nights which included the 10 course tasting menu which was a superb dining experience. The sommelier, Alex also provided excellent advice with respect to our wine. The room was superb, very warm, well stocked and decorated with a wonderful view of the countryside. Overall we could not fault our stay and will most definitely return if we can. Thank you so much!
