The Old School House

Just stayed for 2 nights and I absolutely cannot fault the place. Kate and Ian were such amazing hosts and nothing was a bother to them. Very comfy bed, very clean and the breakfasts are amazing. A 10 minute walk from the train station. 3 minute walk to the main street. 3 minute walk to Haltwhistle Burn which is a beautiful walk right round. Well worth a visit

Ian and Kate are amazing hosts. Once you stay here, you wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. My Son and I had a 2 night stay, we stayed in the twin room, single beds 4foot wide, so comfortable, and lovely warm bedding. The tea and coffee facilities were great, a table top fridge with fresh milk, a large bottle of chilled water, and home made cookies on arrival. Ensuite was great, plenty of towels and face cloths to use, and a stand for your towels, lots of cupboard space too. Absolutely immaculate. The guest lounge was fantastic, comfy settees with blankets available, lots of books to read, games for kids, and sky TV. Breakfast, again fantastic, fresh fruit, home made granola, Greek yogurt, other yogurts, boxed cereals all available before your cooked breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend staying in this B&B to anyone, 5* I couldn't fault anything. Thank you Ian and Kate

Oufff, where to start!?! This was our first bed & breakfast experience and we couldnt ask for a better one! Easy check in process. We got there, Kate welcomed in and showed us around and gave us some local information about the local attractions. We reserved our spot for breakfast time, etc. Room was spacious, comfy, well decorated and very clean. Breakfast was fresh, tasty, big portion!! Each morning there was a treat and chocolat in our room. There is also free parking on site for our vehicle. We were there to hike the world-famous Hadrian Wall, so to avoid back-tracking, Ian offered to bring us and drop off our car rental at one spot while he bring us at another location about 10kms away so we could hike back to our car. I truly believe that Ian and Kate made our experience much easier in the area. Thank you so much, you both deserve to be recognized. JF & Celine

Best B&B we have ever stayed at. Perfect location for Vindolanda and the Roman Military Museum. Extremely comfortable and clean room with everything you could need (or want) including fresh milk for the amazing tea and coffee selection and home baked cake. Kate and Ian are fabulous hosts and very thoughtful - even set the TV up so we could watch a football game! We really appreciated the very comfortable guest lounge and the breakfast is superb.

Lovely welcoming venue and great hosts. I’ve stayed before and will definitely stay again- totally recommended - beautiful accommodation, Breakfast first class - bikes can be secured. Nothing too much trouble and great craic. Some of my fellow guests had stayed many times before.

The best accommodation we stayed at on our 21 day Pennine Way walk. Karen and Ian went above and beyond to make us feel very welcome and at home, including picking us up from Greenhead and doing laundry for us. Our room was lovely and the lounge was stupendous with several comfy chairs. It was full of books, CDs and local leaflets. Breakfast was a great treat with a wide range of quality products. We will be back
