Perfect place for the Wall

Everything excellent. The room was comfortable, well equipped, and very clean. Everything worked and was convenient.

Breakfast is excellent. You have to say what you want for a cooked breakfast the evening before but that isn't a problem at all

Lois, our host, was very interested in our itineraries and was very happy to offer advice on whatever plans we add.

Ideally located for the popular spots on the Wall, it's unlikely you could find anywhere better for your visit

We stayed here for 1 nt whilst attending a wedding nearby. We loved this place.

The room was spacious, clean and plenty of amenities.

The breakfast was outstanding!!!! Pancakes and US style bacon with syrup, rivals the best that the US has to offer.

If your considering staying here for any reason at all - you won't regret it.

If you're travelling from the US (or anywhere overseas) and doing Hadrian's wall this is a beautiful accomodation that will be a highlight of your visit.

I highly recommend you try Shaftoe's, it will provide the perfect stay.

Superb B&B

The owners welcome you from the moment you arrive. It is exceptionally clean and the room we had was spacious. Breakfast is tailored to your requests . The owner was extremely helpful in notifying us of traffic issues around the area due to a lorry fire on the A69 and how best to avoid it. The property is in a quiet area with very little passing traffic.

A gem!

There’s not many places that leave such an impression after just one night but this guest house did just that! When we received the email the day before we went with every bit of information we may require we guessed this was run by a very organised couple, we weren’t wrong, from the moment we arrived to the next day when we left, we were made so welcome, Lois was so friendly and informative, the guest house is spotless and our room was spacious with all mod cons & quality toiletries! Breakfast was superb, hot, tasty and those tomatoes were scrumptious! We know we’ve found somewhere we’ll be visiting time and time again! I don’t write too many reviews but this is a gem of a place! Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful B&B close to Hadrian's Wall

Lois and David were great! We arrived on a very rainy evening after encountering very bad traffic due to bad accidents. They welcomed us in with offers of coffee and tea and got us settled. They called a local restaurant and confirmed they had a table and we had one of the loveliest dinners of our trip. Just a quick walk over the bridge. Our room was perfect and very spacious. The en-suite met our needs perfectly and was very spacious. There was a kettle for tea. A TV (which we didn't use). Plenty of outlets to recharge all of our electronics. The B&B also has free parking which was a big help as well. Breakfast was cooked to order (you fill out a form and place it in the kitchen prior o 10pm). Lois and David are very knowledgeable about Hadrian's Wall. We didn't end up seeing the wall as it was very rainy and they even recommended to skip it. I would highly recommend Shaftoe's!

Lovely owners who are superbly welcoming

My husband and I were staying here for two nights whilst we completed a 14km charity walk along Hadrian's Wall in May. We were driving up from London on a Saturday night so arrived about 1am. Dave stayed up until then, well beyond the check-in deadline, to make sure we were able to get in after arriving and allowed us to do the paper work later the next day so that we could rest up. The breakfasts were superb, everything you could possibly want. They were both just so welcoming and caring and full of advice and tips. The room was lovely and cosy, and a good standard. I can't recommend it enough if you are sight seeing in the area. Space for parking up front and several restaurants and pubs in the area. Dave also allowed me to stay in the lounge for the morning with a cup of hot tea after checkout, as I was unwell and my husband had to pop out for a while. We were very well taken care of!

Night's stay for garden wedding

As we were going to a wedding at Langley garden station this was very handy and we used a very friendly local taxi firm to transport us to the wedding. Really friendly and welcoming couple running this B and B. The room was lovely really nicely decorated and lots of nice touches in the room. I was really pleased there was a bath. The breakfast was great and added bonus vegetarian sausages.

We loved it!

Comfortable hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Situated just outside of Hexam. It was conveniently located for our purposes, which was exploring Hadrian's Wall. There were several good restaurants within walking distance.

Really lovely B&B and location!

Stayed here as I had a wedding to attend nearby at the weekend, and it was so so lovely! The hosts were kind and welcoming, and the rooms were comfortable and homey. Plus the breakfast was delicious! In very close proximity to the train station (4-5 minute walk) for those visiting by train. Would definitely recommend.

Quick break

The room was well equipped though we would have liked 2 chairs, so one of us didn't have to sit on the bed. Everywhere was very clean and fresh.
The breakfasts prepared by Lindsey was lovely and set us up well for the day ahead.
A great stay would stay there again.
Thank you Annie and Lindsey.

Superb bead and breakfast accomodation.

Amazingly good accomodation at a far price. Owner Annie and housekeeper Lindsey were welcoming from the moment we arrived (with a cup of tea or coffee). Nothing was too much trouble.

The room was spotlessly clean wth a very comfortable bed and plenty of room and light. The bathroom was large fresh clean and fitted with modern fitments.

Breakfast was great and special requests met with no fuss.

This b&b sets the standards for others to meet.

a short stop over

this is our second time here. the staff are incredibly friendly and were able to arrange a late check in for us. They really give customers the personal touch. They were able to accommodate a member of our group who had mobility problems and nothing was \"too much trouble\"

Just like home

We loved this great little hideaway. The welcome was wonderful, our lodgings were clean and comfortable and breakfast was fantastic. Great base camp for Hadrian's Wall.

Away from it all.

Lovely setting next to the river. Fabulous breakfast catered to our taste and plenty of it. We were given advice on what was around us, what to see and when.
Easy access by train into Metro Centre or Newcastle.
We took the bus from Newcastle to blyth to visit the Tall Ships regatta.
