Very hospitable. Nice room, lovely breakfast and convenient for eating out. Great base for visiting Hadrian’s Wall attractions. Thanks to Lois and David.
Everything you would want from a B&B - a warm welcome from Lois - including a cup of tea - lovely clean and well appointed room and ensuite and a great breakfast selection prepared by David. A good base from which to explore Northumberland.
We easily found the property and were given a personal tour and a lovely pot of tea. We slept well and had a scrumptious breakfast every morning. Dining was a quick walk into town and very nice as well.
Guests were made to feel like family, with such friendly hosts. Always there to offer tips and advice for visits to local attractions in the area. An excellent breakfast always set up our day.
Lois & David run a great B&B. Great for a trip into Hadrian Wall area. Lois always had pertinent suggestions and Dave cooks a mean breakfast. Very relaxing & easy to get to. Hope to return again!!
Lovely b & b, really warm and friendly welcome with a lovely brew on arrival. Room lovely and clean with every thing you need a real home from home, topped off with an excellent breakfast. Will defo be back
Lovely friendly host who made us so welcome, even giving us a little flask of fresh milk to fill our thermoses with coffee for the next day for our travels. We will return.
Fantastic location, easy drive to Roman sites, and a short walk to the train station. Breakfast cooked to order was delicious and a nice variety. Room was larger than typical and a friendly greeting each morning. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely stay at Shaftoes Guest House. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious and well appointed with many nice touches. Breakfast was delicious. Lois was an excellent source for local information and suggestions. Exceptional!
Lois and Dave are fantastic friendly people with great knowledge of the local area. They went above and beyond to make may stay a great experience. I highly recommend this lodging.
We really enjoyed our one night stay here, the b&b is great it was clean comfortable and they had thought of everything. The owners are lovely. The location is perfect and they have parking spaces for your car. Lovely breakfast too. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely return. The village itself is also beautiful with lovely views and walks and places to eat and drink.
