Bedrooms
The Gun has just four en-suite bedrooms, all renovated as part of the community’s transformation of the inn. The small number of rooms gives stays a relaxed, personal feel and makes the pub an appealing base for exploring rural Northumberland. Accommodation includes king, twin and family options, with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, a television, complimentary WiFi and tea and coffee-making facilities. In the morning, wake up to a cooked English or continental breakfast.
Food & Drink
Food at The Gun is all about hearty, home-cooked dishes and good local ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons, keeping things refreshingly straightforward and well suited to hungry walkers and cyclists returning from a day outdoors. At the bar, the emphasis is on local ales, complemented by wines and a wider selection of drinks. There is nothing overly formal about the experience – and that is part of the appeal. Expect generous food, a pint at the bar and the chance to enjoy the surrounding countryside from the dining room before retreating upstairs for the night.
