Can’t fault The Old School House.

I arrived just after 8pm and was personally and kindly welcomed to The Old School House. After a long day’s walk, I was offered a drink, which was much appreciated. My bags were taken to my room, and I was given a tour of the property.Breakfast was homely and delicious, and I enjoyed meeting some lovely fellow guests. The place was immaculate, and the hosts were absolutely charming.I would definitely stay again and it was just what I needed after a 30-mile walk!

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.

A Perfect B&B a Stone's Throw from Hadrian's Wall

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.

Lovely B&B near Hadrian's wall.

Ian and Kate were fabulous hosts! They offered to do some laundry which was needed after a muddy day on the trails. The accomodations were first rate. The breakfast and homemade lemon cake was delicious!! Would certainly recommend!

Perfect stopover

It was great to catch up with Kate & Ian for our second visit. The review scores for this B&B are not an exaggeration as the hosts are clearly seeking out perfection in all aspects, particularly the hospitality shown and the breakfast on offer. We use it as a Scotland stop-over and to us, its worth the drive from the M6, but the outstanding Northumbrian scenery makes it a destination in its own right. Can't recommend highly enough.
