Ian and Kate truly make the Old School House feel like home. Lovely place to stay - wished we could have stayed a few more days. Excellent breakfast, too.
Lovely accomodations. Super breakfast with homemade granola and we were welcomed with homemade banana bread on arrival. Friendly and welcoming hosts and relaxed atmosphere.
Ian and Kate were spot on and just what we needed after a day of hiking and exploring. Friendly and approachable but gave us our space. Helpful with dinner ideas. They cooked a delicious made to order breakfast that left nothing to be desired. Highly recommend!
Kate and Ian made our four days in Haltwhistle the highlight of our trip from Canada- Gracious, High quality in all regards: breakfast, beds, location. Hope to return one day :)
Fantastic hosts, amazing breakfasts, lots of lovely little touches, very comfortable and great base for walking Hadrian's Wall country. Can't recommend enough.
We wholeheartedly recommend this very comfortable and friendly b&b within a few minutes drive of Hadrian's Wall. Kate and Ian made us feel very welcome and our room and breakfast were both perfect. A real gem.
We cannot say enough about the hosts, their hospitality and the beautiful place. Everything needed for a comfortable, luxurious, welcoming stay. Lots of thoughtful extras including a drying room, delicious lemon cake in the room as we arrived and a wonderful breakfast.
Exceptional B&B. Ian & Kate were ‘simply the best’ hosts and extended a warm welcome and wonderful breakfast. Look forward to returning! Great position too for accessing Hadrians Wall.
Thank you!
Ian and Kate were great hosts, giving us a warm welcome to their lovely home, which was modern, clean and very comfortable. The Border Breakfast was amongst the best breakfasts we have ever had, high praise indeed! Haltwhistle also has very convenient pubs and restaurants and ideally placed for walks along the wall and visits to Homesteads and Vindolanda.
This B&B was one of the best we stayed in during our 3-week stay in the U.K. Our room was beautifully appointed, spacious, and contained everything we needed. We were even able to do a load of laundry. Kate and Ian were very hospitable, and breakfast was amazing. Wish we could have stayed more than one night.
