The Old School House

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

Absolutely perfect in every way. Beautifully clean and well equipped rooms. Friendly, caring hosts that can’t do enough for you (even drove me to the station after my one-night stay). Cornucopian breakfast cooked to perfection; fruit spread out all over the dining room with hosts insisting that guests take some for the journey/trek. And the deliciously moist, home-made cake in the room was a marvellous touch. Definitely will stay there again when we come back.

This was the last of 8 accommodations we stayed in at the end of our touring holiday. We stayed 2 nights. I can honestly say that it was amazing and smashed our other locations by miles. Amazing hosts, a fabulous breakfast, super beds and a sparkling bathroom full of good quality products to shower with. Homemade cake on arrival, what more can you ask for. Great location for walking and cycling. Easy to walk to pubs in the village for evening meals. A supermarket 3 minutes away if you want to stock up. Really recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in the area.

So many nice touches! Comfy bed and pillows, a breakfast that cannot be beaten, and brownies! Ian and Kate excel in providing a great, friendly place to stay. Plus, proximity to town allows for a nice walkabout. I highly recommend this property.

Absolutely fantastic place we stayed for one night at during our Hadrians Wall hike. Ian and Kate couldn’t have been more helpful, giving us an early breakfast, a packed lunch and driving us back to where we wanted to rejoin the path. Lovely people and a fabulous place to stay. Very highly recommended

I booked via Celtic Trails, as part of my Mid section walk of Hadrian's Wall Path and had an excellent 3 night stay, with Ian & Kate providing an comprehensive service to run me back to the wall path each day. This is just as a B & B should be, sociable hosts, comfortable rooms, nicely decorated, central heating as needed. There was a large communal sitting room with television and music, if required. The breakfast was a delight, plenty of fruit and a wide choice of cooked food, to suit all tastes. There are quite a few restaurant and pub choices, a short walk away, or you can bring a takeaway back to the dining area. I would certainly stay here gain if visiting the area.
