ザ ブラックスミス アームズ(The Blacksmiths Arms)

Not dined here for a while but glad to see the food is still excellent. All the people in the group enjoyed their choices mine being a particular fine Cumberland sausage with excellent veg and real chips. Not forgetting a decent pint of Timmy Taylors!

What a lovely place this is. I have just returned from a Golfing break with 7 friends and everything was faultless. Anne is a lovely pleasant host who ensures everything runs shipshape. The breakfast is first class and passed my sausage test with flying colours (obviously sourced from a local butcher) I can definitely recommend The Blacksmiths Arms and I plan to return next year.

My husband and I stayed for four nights in this lovely traditional British pub. From start to finish of our break we were welcomed into the premises by the lovely owners, staff and locals. We were very comfortable in room three which was very clean, warm and cosy. The food was excellent and we ate there all four nights particularly enjoying the sticky toffee pudding and custard. It proved an excellent location to visit Hadrians wall, in particular the Roman Army Museum which was fascinating, Gretna Green and The Lakes. We also found a dark night location close by where you could access Hadrians wall very easily. We would definitely make a return visit to this charming and very welcoming venue. The Smiths. XX

We found this jem of a hotel/restaurant a few years ago and have returned several times. The welcome is so friendly and you feel at home straight away. The rooms are lovely and well equipped with great beds. Breakfast is home cooked with local produce and the resurant offer great dishes, tasty and really good to eat. It might take a little searching for being in a small village but so worth it.

The Blacksmiths Arms is abit of a hidden gem , our rooms were spacious and clean , dinner was delicious, my son especially enjoyed the haggis Bon Bon . Breakfast was good , freshly cooked and enough . Was a great place to stay .

What a disappointed today, After a walk round Talkin Tarn we walked up to the pub, very quiete it was only 12.20, service good and fast, but oh dear, the food today was definetly not good, we had Scampi chips salad garden peas, The peas were like bullets, definetly not been cooked long enough, Scampi was really over done, it was like bullets rock hard, I left 5 of mine, one I cut in to, bounced on the floor,

Wonderful staff, amazing food for a pub … very good and would stay again

A charming pub with a great welcome, thank you Anne! The food is almost all home-made and delicious. We were very well looked after, comfortable rooms. I would thoroughly recommend! Very good value and excellent service.

This was a traditional welcoming pub with spacious rooms. The menu was full of selection and the quality was excellent the fish and chips was fantastic with a light batter and very meaty fish 👍👍👍. We also had the liver and bacon casserole which was another winner. Our hosts and staff were always friendly and attentive. A good choice of cooked and cereal breakfast. The pub was busy with both friendly locals and a few visitors a lovely mix. A great find !
