The Stag Inn in the Heart of Dufton Village with Holiday Cottage

The Stag Inn, which stands in the heart of Dufton village overlooking the green, was built in 1703 as an inn with solid oak beams.

This is a classic country pub – and very ‘walker friendly’ – with a large cast-iron range warming the main bar, an open fireplace in the smaller lounge and a comfortable dining room to the rear serving a wide choice of meals.

The Inn itself is a traditional pub which dates back to the turn of the 18th century, it is a Free House serving real ale with a reputation for good food, you can choose from the pub menu or a la carte, it also has the benefit of a beer garden.

“We are delighted to be part of The Outdoor Guide and had a great time with the crew and Julia Bradbury when they were filming for her new ITV walking series, Best Walks With A View.”

TOG Says …

“The fire and location of this pub is perfect after a long day of walking in the Pennines.”

About Us

The Stag is traditional in every sense with solid oak beams, exposed stonework and a range of cask-conditioned ales on offer. We are recognised by CAMRA and listed in the Good Beer Guide with a fine choice of ales includes the Black Sheep, Boddingtons Bitter, Castle Eden and Flowers IPA.

On a warm summers evening, take a relaxing drink in the beer garden as the sun slowly sets against the backdrop of the Pennine Hills.

When it’s cold outside you can be sure of a crackling fire to welcome you into the cosy atmosphere of the bar ….
