The Howard Arms

A lovely dog-friendly pub in Brampton. I love dogs but don't own one... non-dog owners, you should be aware the place is scrupulous clean and there is absolutely no 'doggy' smell, so do not be put off. The decor is lovely and the staff are friendly. I could barely move by the time I got there due to achey legs, but they were very tolerant of my hobbling. Breakfast has everything you could want. If you're walking, you can load up for the day, giving plenty of energy. There's a lovely welcome pack with all the info you need to know about the B & B during your stay, plus extra info about local attractions. It's right next to a number of local shops, too, including a chemist if needed, so the location is good. Wall walkers- it will cost you around £10 from Walton in a taxi.

location was perfect. although no on-site parking, there is a free car park at the back of the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good. the bathroom was spacious and had good shelving space where we could put our own toiletries. we also liked the small shelf in the shower.

Excellent food in the bar and great breakfast choices, perfectly cooked. The staff were all excellent - friendly and great service.

Beautiful place, bedroom was spotlessly clean and the shower superb! Was given a very warm welcome and shown to my room on arrival and asked if I needed anything. There was a band on which was an added bonus but no noise could be heard in the bedroom. I opted for a bacon roll for breakfast as I didn't think I could eat a cooked breakfast, I saw staff bringing out the cooked breakfasts, they were huge! The bacon roll was also huge with lots of tasty bacon, they source local food which is great too. The morning coffee was delicious! Loved it, would definitely stay again and certainly recommend, thank you!

The hotel is in a great location in the centre of town. Our room was bigger than normal. The room amenities were good. Shower and bathroom were good. Breakfast was also good. We also used the bar downstairs and the restaurant. The food and service were good. It's ideal for touring Hadrians wall.
