Lovely stay in lovely accommodation

Pros: We loved the rural location of this property and it was close enough for us to finish our Hadrians Wall walk. The staff were very welcoming (particularly Dave) and we felt right at home. The breakfast was superb and well worth the £10 I paid for it. I would be happy to stay here again.

Cons: Nothing, I didn't have any issues with this accommodation.

small very friendly hotel on old RAF airfield with massive breakfast

Pros: Great breakfast, comfy bed, excellent wifi and TV, in old officers mess. only 4 rooms

Cons: restaurant only open weds & sunday I believe but good pub 3 miles up the road. walls a bit thin so sound travels.

Alick 10/10

Very comfortable and accommodating. Will be back.

Pros: I attended a large family reunion function that was held at the hotel, and booked to stay overnight. The hotel has an excellent function room, and were very accommodating. The owner is passionate about providing excellent customer service and was very friendly and helpful. I booked in to stay the evening, there is only a few bedrooms but they are very comfortable. We went to a local pub for dinner in the evening, which was also excellent. The White Heather is particularly unique because it is at the end of the Kirkbride Airfield Runway- so if you have a PPL and you ned to refuel, you could literally park your plane in the carpark and stay over. -Calling he owner of the hotel in advance would be of great benefit- he is very accommodating and would (no doubt) go out of his way to make your stay one to remember.

Cons: Nothing. It was ideal for what we needed. Be aware, it is set in a quiet location- don't expect amazing nightlife.

Margaret 10/10

Exceptional

Pros: Excellent hotel on edge of small airfield. View of light aircraft and WW2 hangers from this lovely historic building. Room was a good size with an exceptional spacious bathroom, and we had the best sleep of our holiday in the very comfortable bed. Quiet location yet only short drive from shops. Friendly family hotel which made us feel very welcome. Plenty of choice in the bar and a lovely breakfast too. We will definitely stay here again.

Graham 10/10

Excellent location, comfortable and well priced.

Pros: The room was very comfortable indeed with a good mattress and comfy pillows. The bathroom had been recently refurbished and was impeccable. I had a very good sleep. Dave the host did his utmost to make my stay enjoyable. This hotel is ideally located for flying activities at Kirkbride Airfield.
