The Room & Facilities:||We had booked a double ensuite room, both the room and bathroom were clean, tidy and inviting. There was a little sofa, kettle, cups, tea, coffee, etc.... a booklet informing of breakfast options and things to do nearby. Inside the wardrobe there were supplies for every weather occasion; a fan, a heater, extra blankets, an ironing board, an iron, all the things you could need. ||The view from our window was over the courtyard and the farm buildings beyond where we enjoyed watching the birds in the morning. ||||Breakfast:||We were treated to a delicious breakfast in the morning, James opted for tea and eggs benedict with smoked salmon. I was fussy and chose parts of the full English (Hash brown, bacon and scrambled egg on homemade toast). This set us up nicely for our onward journey.||||Wildlife:||The courtyard to the B&B was occupied by a couple of barn swallows when we arrived, a couple of bats when we came back from dinner and a flock of Jackdaws in the morning to join the barn shallows. We also heard a tawny owl when we arrived back from dinner. I’m sure if we had spent more time there, there would have been much more wildlife to see and hear.||||Many thanks to Janice and Caleb for...
Read moreWhat an amazing find booked as a last minute stay and wish we were staying longer. From the minute we pulled up we were made to feel extremely welcome, the room was stunning and immaculate with lots of extra touches for a comfortable stay. When we asked about local places to eat a table was reserved for us at the local pub. We had an amazing relaxing peaceful evening with really comfortable beds. The breakfast was beautifully cooked with lots of selections to choose from and they couldn’t do enough for us and our children. We would definitely recommend and will be returning THANKYOU Janice and Caleb...
Read moreI stayed here on the final night of my Hadrian’s Wall walk. The owner kindly picked me up from the end of my walk and the strong hospitality continued from there. A neat, well provisioned, comfortable room and dining (pub) advice made for a very relaxing stay (and a fine, honest pub supper too). Local knowledge for the latter is essential as some of the tourism-issued information is considerably out of date. This morning, a fine breakfast (with strong, well made coffee - surprisingly rare along the Wall!), saw me set for my exit. My thanks to both hosts - a cracking place to stay and strongly...
