Bay Horse Inn, West Woodburn, Hexham, Northumberland
The Bay Horse Inn at West Woodburn is a delightful 18th Century coaching inn built in mellowed sandstone, nestled by a stone bridge over the River Rede in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland. This is the place to stop on your journey: to rest, drink, eat well and relax in a friendly, informal atmosphere.
When you have been out and about in the fresh country air and, when the excellent home-cooked cuisine and cosy surroundings of our lounge bar all begin to take effect, retire to one of our 7 bedrooms.
Five guest bedrooms are en suite. The two large bedrooms share a bathroom which is ideal for a family. Please note that these two rooms are above the bar and can be noisy - the price reflects this slight inconvenience. All are decorated individually in a delightful cottage style and have TV, tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryers, ironing facilities and a trouser press.
There is a special room which is ideal for honeymooners or for that special treat for any couple. Sample the luxury of the four poster bedroom - beautifully decorated and comfortable.
They offer bed and breakfast and, of course, longer stay facilities in the en suite accommodation which has English Tourist Council Four Diamond rating.
At The Bay Horse Inn, the menus offer an unusually wide and extensive range of dishes carefully prepared from the best local meats, fish and vegetables. Visitors are welcome to choose a tasty snack or to dine in style with a bottle of fine wine. For vegetarians and vegans, an interesting alternative selection is offered.
Children have their own menu or may choose selected dishes from the main menus. Diners can choose where they wish to eat, either in the comfortable bar on dining size tables or in the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. The traditional Sunday lunch menu offers a choice of roasts and freshly prepared puddings, made by Hilda, legendary throughout the area. If you are staying a while you will not tire of the menu as they change it constantly with traditional specialities, such as mince & dumplings, fresh farm organic roast meats, beautiful tender steaks and a selection of fresh seafood from the nearby Northumberland coast.
The Bay Horse Inn sits by the River Rede in the quiet Northumberland village of West Woodburn. The Rede Valley and its surrounding area is known for its peace, tranquillity and wide-open spaces. Northumberland is England's most sparsely populated county, lying at the juncture of the Cheviot and Pennine Hills.
