Not dined here for a while but glad to see the food is still excellent. All the people in the group enjoyed their choices mine being a particular fine Cumberland sausage with excellent veg and real chips. Not forgetting a decent pint of Timmy Taylors!

As good as ever

What a lovely place this is. I have just returned from a Golfing break with 7 friends and everything was faultless. Anne is a lovely pleasant host who ensures everything runs shipshape. The breakfast is first class and passed my sausage test with flying colours (obviously sourced from a local butcher) I can definitely recommend The Blacksmiths Arms and I plan to return next year. 

Excellent 

My husband and I stayed for four nights in this lovely traditional British pub. From start to finish of our break we were welcomed into the premises by the lovely owners, staff and locals. We were very comfortable in room three which was very clean, warm and cosy. The food was excellent and we ate there all four nights particularly enjoying the sticky toffee pudding and custard. It proved an excellent location to visit Hadrians wall, in particular the Roman Army Museum which was fascinating, Gretna Green and The Lakes. We also found a dark night location close by where you could access Hadrians wall very easily. We would definitely make a return visit to this charming and very welcoming venue. The Smiths. XX

Talkin’s treasure.

We found this jem of a hotel/restaurant a few years ago and have returned several times.  The welcome is so friendly and you feel at home straight away.  The rooms are lovely and well equipped with great beds.  Breakfast is home cooked with local produce and the resurant offer great dishes, tasty and really good to eat. It might take a little searching for being in a small village but so worth it.

Return to a happy place

What a disappointed today, After a walk round Talkin Tarn we walked up to the pub, very quiete it was only 12.20, service good and fast,  but oh dear, the food today was definetly not good, we had Scampi chips salad garden peas,  The peas were like bullets, definetly not been cooked long enough, Scampi was really over done, it was like bullets rock hard,  I left 5 of mine, one I cut in to, bounced on the floor,

Disappointing as been ok ish in the past

lovely area and the rooms are so clean and out of the way from the pub. we stayed in one in the cute courtyard at the back of the pub. the food is really nice
highly recommend
friendly and helpful  and can't wait to go back this year

weekend stay

We had a very enjoyable stay here recently. There was an excellent choice of real ales, a comprehensive menu and a real fire in the bar area. Our rooms were cosy and with recently upgraded bathrooms. The best thing though was the quality of the welcome and the service. We felt valued as customers from the moment we first went in. A super place for an overnight stay in the Brampton area. We would definitely stay here again.

Just the ticket!

Arrived to a friendly greeting. Showed us our room which was out of the back of the bar across a small patio area . Tidy and clean all the facilities you need. 
Bar area has a nice friendly atmosphere
 Locals telling their tales of woe. 
Good choice of meals for the evening meal. Staff efficient and friendly. 
Breakfast included in the deal was excellent. 
If your in the area no probs recommending blacksmiths arms

Tidy little hide away

Upon arrival the pub is very welcoming. Traditional old style pub. 
The check in process was disorganised but we had arrived at the same time as a large party of about 5 people! 
The room had not been furnished with towels and upon advising of this we were met with shock and questions rather than just grabbing is our towels. The gentleman on duty dove in to help and took our towels to the room. 
The food on the evening was enjoyable, and well cooked. Good selection and reasonably priced. 
The room (room 3) is very tired but functional and we had a great nights sleep! 
We went for a run in the morning, returning at 10am (Saturday) to be told that we had missed breakfast. The lady was quite abrupt (towel gate lady ) and told us that it’s unusual for places to serve breakfast after 9am. After checking their website and booking details is doesn’t say this anywhere - the lady was adamant that it did. Be aware of that if booking for the local parkrun ! 
We left the key on departure with no goodbye or confirmation, I shouted to say goodbye to them but had no response. 
Great pub, could be better!

Disappointed

Really nice pub on the village green, tables outside front and back, traditional English pub inside. Very good beer, the pub is in both the Good Beer and Good Pub guides and deservedly so. Very friendly staff, decent food, more home cooking comfort food than gastro, good portions. Our room was ok, a little dated and small, but clean and perfectly fine for using the pub as a base rather than a destination in itself. Prices are very reasonable. Google maps say it is permanently closed, it is not, landlord says a few have mentioned this so why doesn’t he correct it?  Definitely worth a visit.
