This was exactly what we were hoping for in this stay. The rooms were lovely and clean and the bathrooms were modern and fully stocked. The inn itself was charming, the staff so accommodating and the food (both dinner and breakfast) were delicious.

Really lovely. This was exactly what we were looking for as we traveled from London to Edinburgh by car. We wanted a quiet, homey feeling stay in a real country inn. String of Horses was exactly that. Dinner, the rooms, breakfast, the staff were all excellent! Cheers!

Fantastic stay. Couldn’t believe Sam recognised us as we’d only been once before several months ago! She is amazing at her job… bright, bubbly & so efficient. Tbh, all of the staff are lovely. Great rooms, very comfy bed & lovely breakfast. Will definitely be back again.
