It was just a strong match for a break on a long journey in Kirkby Fleetham with real value for money. The staff worked hard and kept our spirits up during the busy dinner service, even when they were clearly overwhelmed. Make sure to check if they have a taxi service if you need to leave at a specific time.

The pub had a charming atmosphere and our room was beautifully decorated with a fun horse racing theme. We thoroughly enjoyed the exceptional roast for dinner—definitely some of the best beef we've had! Despite a small issue with the heating, the staff, especially Jess, were super accommodating and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. It was a great pit stop for exploring the peaceful village and local attractions.
