Such a lovely friendly place to stay - accommodation is clean, smart and tastefully furnished. Breakfast service is prompt, attentive and fresh food. Bar is dog friendly and red wine lush! Want to stay for pleasure next time to really take it all in.

Great place
The rooms are very modern and clean, the food is great and the Howard Arms was our favorite place we stayed on our trip.
Parking is available behind the hotel, but it is on a different road, so make sure you go to the right lot.
We had both dinner and breakfast there and it was fantastic.

The ambiance was perfect and very helpful, friendly staff. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Great pub and food. The location was easily accessible by taxi off Hadrian's Wall Path. Too far to walk to after many miles of hiking from Twice-Brewed Inn. We would have liked to have spent another day in Brampton, but we had to move on.

Great Stop on Hadrian’s Wall Path
Great food and drink at the pub and decently comfortable rooms. The place is dog friendly so there were occasionally dog odors but they clearly work hard to minimize them. Would recommend. My only complaint is that I personally didn’t like the air freshener used in the bathroom but I survived ;).

Trip was to see family. During the trip one of was unwell (nothing al all to do with the Hotel).
All the staff at the Howard Arms could not have been more helpful. They put themselves out to help and assist.

The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble.
Food was excellent and served quickly.
Rooms were clean and tidy with tea coffee facilities, very welcome.
The hot water wasn't very hot late at night and early morning but nice once it was hot.
