Was just passing through Wark and stopped overnight nearby. Found the Grey Bull Inn to have very friendly staff and locals, got a nice pint, it has a pool table and clean toilets. I can't ask for more than that. I'll go back next time I'm in the area. ???????????????????????? The Sauna guy ????????????????????????
Excellent accomodation, very clean and well presented. Friendly pub n good beer.
A traditional wet sales only pub with a darts and pool room, snug with log burner and public bar with two large tellies, juke box and full of people having a great crack. Just reopened again.
Very friendly local pub... Good banter with the owner and local punters... has accommodation above which I wish we'd known about... would have been a quicker trip to the bar!
