Simonburn Tea Room was hands-down my favorite place we stayed during our Hadrian’s Wall trek. Christine and Alex are absolutely lovely people, so warm, friendly, and welcoming. I really appreciated that they picked us up and dropped us off at the HWP, and they were even willing to come and get us as soon as we finished our miles for the day, before the room was ready, so we didn’t have to wait around; such thoughtful hospitality.
The accommodation was comfortable and charming, and their garden is gorgeous. The hamlet is also such a peaceful and beautiful setting. I also really enjoyed chatting with Alex and Christine during our stay; they made us feel completely at home. And the food — I cannot say enough about how delicious it was! I enjoyed the opportunity to dine with the other guests, and that Christine and Alex joined us after the meal to chat.
It was my husband's birthday while we were staying, and they even kindly found a candle for his birthday slice of cake. And they had so many divine cakes to choose from!
This was truly my favorite place to stay on the entire trip. If you’re anywhere near Simonburn or doing the Hadrian's Wall Path, don’t miss the chance to experience this little gem and meet such wonderful hosts. Thank you again, Alex and Christine, for making our...
   Read moreThe new owners of Simonburn Tearooms are fantastic hosts who will do anything for you - We were a group of five cyclists on mountain bikes travelling the Sandstone Way that were caught in torrential rain over the hilltops travelling south from Bellingham. We saw signs for the Simonburn Tea Rooms from the main road and promptly headed into the village. We were greeted by the owners who offered us plenty of towels to get dry; they had no qualms with us being a sodden mess; they put some bags over the seats and turned on the radiator for us to dry off our gloves etc; they got extra heaters out; they even offered to put stuff in the tumble dryer for us. We had hot tea and coffee and most of us opted for the home made corned beef pie with vegetables. It was a life saver; tasty and hearty. We chatted with the owners whilst the worst of the weather passed and they were in no rush for us to leave. They also offer B&B and have storage which is ideal for walkers and cyclists. I hope their business flourishes as they were genuinely friendly, helpful and hard working. They deserve every success in the future. I will definitely call in again the next time I am...
