“The Red Lion Inn in Newbrough provides a genuinely comforting stay, with rooms that manage to be both cosy and impeccably clean, including delightful en-suites. The meals here are a true highlight; the steak and ale pie, in particular, is a standout that makes a return visit feel inevitable. Its quiet location, just off the Stanegate and near Hadrian's Wall, makes it a thoughtful base for exploring the local history and landscape.”
