The Kirkstyle Inn and Sportsman’s Rest has been named Best Pub Stay in The Times and The Sunday Times Best Places to Stay 2025 guide.
Located in the remote village of Slaggyford in south west Northumberland, The Kirkstyle Inn is set on the banks of the South Tyne River in the heart of the North Pennines National Landscape, and offers a gastropub menu created by head chef Connor Wilson.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition — it is an incredible accolade. For a pub as rural as The Kirkstyle Inn, it’s a phenomenal achievement and a true testament to the hard work, creativity and dedication of our entire team, who consistently go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome,” said general manager Nick Parkinson.
