Situated 3.2 miles east of Corbridge, this handsome 19th-century coaching inn serves both traditional favourites, including a pie of the day and beer-battered cod, and modern takes such as treacle-cured local salmon, smoked duck breast with pistachio and truffle gnocchi, and cider- and sage-braised pork with honey-roasted pears. Its six rooms (doubles including breakfast from £120) have sweeping valley views.
