Got there at 8:15pm booked in and got shown to our rooms, once we put our stuff down we went down stairs to get a drink and order some food, we ordered our drink and asked for menus, we were told it had been too busy and we couldn’t get food. After a moan they apologised and brought us menus we ordered for a chicken burger and two steak pies. After an hour to food came out the chicken in the burger was dry but edible, the same can’t be said for the pies both pies smelt horrible once opened and the filling was burnt horribly, it was disgusting. Of course the staff apologised and offered more food but by now it was 9:45 and we were over it. The floors and walls are very thin and you can clearly hear conversations from the next rooms and the rooms above need military grade underlay as a stompy patron woke me up at 5:30 in the morning from the room above. Over all would not return or recommend. Breakfast was fine, fried eggs overcooked.

Howard Arms is an inn, but it's also a restaurant. Once we arrived and settled into our room, it was very easy to go back downstairs and have dinner. They are VERY dog friendly, and we loved the cat that sat on the stairs, enjoying attention from everyone. We were able to park our car right near the front door which made it easy to unload our luggage.

This is I believe the premier hotel in Brampton. It is clean, well maintained and comfortable. It has a lot of atmosphere and history. I liked the Dickens touch. The staff were friendly and helpful. The big black mark was that we were locked out, something which has never happened to me before in a hotel. Three of us returned at 11 pm to find all the doors locked and nobody responding to knocks or telephone calls. We eventually had to climb in through the window. The only alternative would have been to sleep on the street. In fairness the staff were apologetic next morning and told us that in the normal course of events, had they been told we were going out, they would’ve given us means of access. Nobody asked whether we were going out. And it should not have been necessary. I hope following this feedback they will change their arrangements

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 ;).

Great place but can be very noisy with events!

Brampton is a nice little town not far from a range outdoor places to go out and walk around. The staff were very friendly throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and a good size. We had dinner and breakfast in the pub/hotel and the food and drink were great.

During our stay there was a private event with a live band and the pub was having a karaoke night which meant it was very noisy up until midnight. A bit or hustle and bustle is expected in a pub hotel but this was too much. I wish we’d had some warning prior to our stay.

Good value for money

Overall cleanliness in the room although the toilet had signs of previous usage. Friendly staff but they didn't offer to carry my bag up the two flights of stairs (I am obviously elderly). The room was small even for a single but the reasonable rate I paid reflected this. The bed somewhat hard. Sunday evening dinner was a traditional northern roast of overcooked beef and Yorkshire pud!

The Howard Arms

The room is fine but the hotel is extremely noisy. Noise from the bar went on until after midnight, then you could hear every slight movement in the hotel all night, and there was a boiler or something similar making a strange noise all night from a locked cupboard in the room.
