Introduction

Set in one of the most beautiful and historic areas of Britain, near the World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall, The Lake District and the Scottish Borders. The inn is located in the quiet country village of Faugh, only 10 minutes from Carlisle and junction 43 of the M6 motorway.

The inn features many original and traditional features such as oak panelling, open log fires and stoves, leaded diamond windows, brass and copperware, sandstone fireplaces and wooden beams.

History to the present day

Built around 1659 when England was wracked by Civil War and religious conflict. Even so, merchants still traded, commerce still persisted and people still travelled, stopping off to rest at rural taverns where a new string of horses could be harnessed to the long-distance stagecoach, thus the name String of Horses.

Food and Drinks

A full English breakfast is served freshly every day in the rustic restaurant with local Cumberland sausages. Lunches and dinners are available featuring regional and international cuisine and an ever-changing menu to appeal to every taste.

Relax with a drink in the comfortable bar, with a range of excellent quality wines, draught beers and lagers, as well as local real ales. Please note that both restaurant and bar are closed on Mondays. 

Grounds and gardens

Outdoor seating available for guests to enjoy a drink or snack.
