Angela Molloy Guest

This was an absolute beautiful B and B everything was superb the room and building is beautiful decorated and clean everything is to a high standard bed was comfy and room spacious if you want to chill out in there after your walk. breakfast was beautiful and we even took a packed lunch which was worth every penny. Location is great if you are doing Hadrian’s wall and the owners have lots of helpful tips on where to walk. We took a small dog and a bed treats bowls towels etc all provided as well. Beautiful stay highly recommended it.

Lyn Tindal Guest

Fabulous place to stay. Very friendly welcome with lots of advice on local area. Rooms are beautiful and of high quality furnishings and decor. Breakfast was great lots of choice, cooked and served beautifully. Loved the honesty bar and lovely Lounge to relax in. Our dog was made to feel very welcome with everything he could possibly need and a couple of short walks on the doorstep for night time and early morning walks. This place is a gem and glad we found it and couple who own it deserve all the success they will inevitably achieve.
