For almost two centuries our establishment has offered a warm welcome to travellers. Today’s guests may not turn up with a packhorse at their heels but they feel equally at ease in the cosy bar with its open fire and exposed beams and are just as keen to savour the excellent food and drinkThe Packhorse Inn offers bed & breakfast and every room has a colour television; tea and coffee making facilities and an en-suite shower-room or bathroom. There is also an adjoining self-contained cottage which sleeps four people. The quiet Northumbrian village of Ellingham; just eight miles north of Alnwick; has changed little since the ancient drovers’ roads were well-travelled routes. Fields and woodland still surround the cluster of sandstone collages and the picturesque; square-towered church of St Maurice looks across the wide landscape to the spectacular sweep of the Northumberland coastline.
