Hi, I'm Angela. In this blog, we hope to share the highlights of running a Northumberland country inn and introduce you to some of the people we are lucky enough to meet along the way.
Thanks to a fantastic team of hard-working and loyal staff, we are thrilled to announce that The Pheasant Inn has been awarded the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence Award for 2014 for the third year running.
We think all the staff deserve a glass of champagne or two!!!
This award is only given to the top 10% of businesses listed with Trip Advisor. Trip Advisor describe it as 'an award given to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews'.
Thank you to all of the visitors that took the time to leave comments on the site, we really appreciate your kind words.
This month at the Pheasant Inn, Kielder has definitely been one to remember. Not only have we had some of the most glorious sunny weather but we've also just found out that we have been awarded the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for the second year in a row!
We were even more proud when we realised that this award is only given to the top 10% of businesses listed with Trip Advisor. Trip Advisor describe it as 'an award given to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews'. To say that we are 'over the moon' would be an understatement.
We'd just like to take this opportunity to thank all of our lovely visitors who took their time to leave comments on the site. We really appreciate your kind words.
It has to be said that we consider ourselves very lucky to live in Northumberland, with a treasure trove of local food producers on our doorstep. At the Pheasant Inn we are proud to support these local businesses, and use a great deal of their produce and home-grown food in our menus. And, there is one local lady without whom our ‘traditional Engish breakfast’ simply wouldn’t be the same. Our free range eggs come fresh, everyday from her farm just ‘up the road’.
Hazel is one of those rare people that always has a welcoming smile and a story to tell. She lives on the farm with the big red roof, but is more famed in our area for her fab free range eggs and her devotion to her chickens.
Hazel’s chickens live in a beautiful spot, surrounded by some of the most beautiful Northumberland countryside to be seen. They have more than enough space to roam freely, relax and socialise. On the day we visited recently, they were undoubtedly a little camera shy at first, but once they got warmed up, their photogenic side definitely began to shine.
