The Kirkstyle Inn & Sportsman’s Rest

Review

Tucked away in the postcard-perfect village of Slaggyford, the Kirkstyle Inn & Sportsman's Rest is a romantic retreat that sets the bar. With the South Tyne Valley on your doorstep and Cumbria just a short drive away, it’s the perfect base for an idyllic escape. The inn has been lovingly restored, with no expense spared, and each room feels like a luxurious home away from home, warm, stylish, and deeply relaxing. There’s also the Rectory next door, a stunning six-bedroom haven perfect for couples, families or friends, with the added bonus of being just steps from the pub. Then there’s the food? Simply divine. Sourced from the surrounding farms, every dish, whether it’s wild game or pasture-fed beef, tells a story of the land, crafted with pride and passion. The presentation alone is Instagram-worthy, but the flavours are even better. A hugely romantic hideaway that is the epitome of romance.
