Welcome to The Star Inn
A traditional country pub in the Northumberland National Park
The Star Inn was built as a coaching inn over 200 years ago, and similarly to many other properties in the village, was built using sandstone from the ruins of nearby Harbottle Castle. The pub is steeped in history and would have once been used by drovers crossing the Anglo-Scottish border just a few miles away in The Cheviot Hills.
Today, the pub is a popular village local in a peaceful, stunning location in Coquetdale within the Northumberland National Park, inside the International Dark Sky Park. It is dog friendly and very well placed for relaxing or exploring the great outdoors. The pub has a small shop at the rear selling a wide range of essential items, newspapers and magazines, and is also an official Information Point for the Northumberland National Park.
The pub has recently been taken over by new owners, Phil and Karen, who have some exciting ideas for its future, whilst continuing with many of the local traditions and fundraising.
