The perfect little village Inn with a woodburner in the corner and a great view from the Dinner / Breakfast room. Part volunteer run as a community enterprise, a lot of work has gone in recently to completely modernise and make this a top stop over if you are heading N or S. Loads of nice little touches and a simple menu with good hearty country food at reasonable prices. Dont often leave reviews but this Country Inn / Pub was exactly what were looking for as we searched on the move. It also has a good outside seating are for a sunny days.

We loved seeing the framed pictures tell the story about how the community brought this place (back) to life. The room was very comfy, the breakfast was delicious and we loved the location. The location is perfect for stargazing - if you're lucky enough to get clear skies, unlike us - because it's on the corner of a road that just goes on and on through fields. Walk away a bit from the road and the houses and it's perfect for stargazing.

It would have been nice to get a heads-up from the staff to say we would be the only ones staying over that night. They have four rooms and appropriate signage asking guests to be quiet and considerate of other travellers. I inched up and down the creaky stairs when going out to smoke but then realized the next day I did it for no reason, as there wasn't anyone else staying overnight.

Our friends were getting married nearby so we stayed here the night before. The staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. It was actually during Storm Darragh and the staff blocked us rooms for the next night in case we had nowhere to stay due to local power cuts. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. We had the best nights sleep with no traffic or noise. The full english breakfast was lovely in the morning with tea, coffee and juice. The night before we had a few drinks in the bar, played pool, darts and chilled out.

This place / Pub is truly lovely and so are their people. My friend and I were ever so pleased with the way we were welcomed and looked after. The rooms are renovated and beautifully furnished and very comfortabel. Nothing one would miss. The food in the Pub is very tasty and good and the breakfast is great also and so are the views you get for free. The Gun sits right in the country, the views are spectacular. I will certainly recommend "THE GUN" to my friends and family.

I can´t think of anything

The staff was very welcoming and we felt like being part of an extended family. Community ownership really does make a difference. The food is excellent and there is more than enough choice for a short stay. Ridsdale has quite a bit of fairly recent local history worthwhile exploring.

A lovely pub with friendly staff, in an amazing location. The views over breakfast were fantastic. Small menu choice for dinner but food cooked perfectly, delicious. Very good breakfast. I would happily stay there longer, warmly recommend. Plenty of parking. Clean and comfortable. Thank you.

What a fabulous community pub/hotel this is. The hotel has the most amazing views of beautiful countryside and the staff (who are volunteers) were so helpful and friendly. The rooms we spacious and lovely and clean with really comfortable beds. We had a evening meal and breakfast... both of which were delicious! We had a wonderful stay here and we'll definitely be back!

Exceptionally clean "like new" room. Beautiful location with stunning views from the dining room. Friendly & helpful staff. Great breakfast options & the server/cook was very accommodating & friendly. Good quality meals from the kitchen.

Noise from pub on Saturday night, noise from banging doors and general pub noise went on until 1:15am. Each time a door downstairs closed, the room shuddered. The Sunday night was no problem. Not suitable for mobility impaired, steep stairs to the rooms with no lift option.

The Gun is a community run pub with comfortable accommodation with a walk-in shower. It has great views across the Moors and is an ideal half way stopover to the Highlands of Scotland. The staff and locals are very welcoming with great real ales on offer. The pub has a small food menu, however the meals provided are very filling and tasty. Breakfast is huge and sets you up for the day! We will definitely return on our way back home.
