The Bruce Arms Hotel - West Tanfield

18th-century coaching inn in West Tanfield with acclaimed dining and dog-friendly stays

Dining

The Bruce Arms restaurant serves British cuisine with a seasonal à la carte menu that changes weekly. Guests can dine in the Georgian dining room, the cozy bar, or the outdoor terrace during summer. The menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, with a strong emphasis on locally sourced Yorkshire produce.

Accommodations

Bruce Arms has three en-suite bedrooms, each named after a Bruce and decorated with individual touches like fresh flowers. Bedrooms do not have televisions but offer real coffee with a cafetiere, fresh milk, and a comfortable bed with crisp white linen. The Fiona room, for example, features a portrait on the door and a radio instead of a TV.

Pet-Friendly

Dogs are welcome in all guest rooms and in the bar area during meals at Bruce Arms West Tanfield. The hotel provides a welcoming environment for pets, with staff treating dogs as part of the experience. Pet owners can enjoy evening meals in the bar with their dogs by their side.
