The Old School House

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.

Hosts Ian and Kate were very friendly and helpful. The home cooked sweets in our room were lovely!

I arrived at there through rain, they made me feel so happy, because of their warmful and comfortable trea**ent. I didn't find anything short of. The room was very clean, wide enough and well equipped. The breakfast was so nice and satisfying. Especially dry room was of great help.

Kate & Ian were amazing hosts. Easily the best B&B we have ever stayed at. Comfortable room and bed. Lots of important little details. This couple are making a big effort to do things well so well done them. Breakfast at one large table was exceptional. Kate made introductions and made everyone fit in. Definitely will be going back here!

You would be mad to consider staying anywhere else but at the Old Schoolhouse B&B for a trip anywhere near Haltwhistle. Ian and Kate bend over backwards to make sure your stay is comfortable, delicious, and convenient (including driving you to the nearby Hadrian’s Wall). The rooms are very comfortable, the beds are great, and it was the best shower I encountered in my whole trip to the UK. They are great cooks and the breakfasts were wonderful. We watched game shows in the living room in the evenings after a long day of walking.

The Old School House is an amazing place to stay. Completely beautiful and modern place to stay. Our hosts were awesome. Very welcoming. Easy parking. The room was spacious and the bathroom roomy with a larger shower than most. Several delicious breakfast options. Several pub and restaurant options within walking distance. Short drive to Hadrian's Wall and Sycamore Gap. Easily the nicest B&B we stayed at in the UK. Would stay here longer giving the opportunity.

We loved everything about our stay at The Old School House! Kate and Ian warmly welcomed us upon our arrival and we immediately felt like we were staying with friends. Our room was clean and comfortable, and even included a welcome snack! This was a last minute stop, and we were so pleased with our good fortune to stay in lovely accommodations in a beautiful setting. Our breakfast was the best one during our two-week stay in the UK; fresh, delicious food, very generous portions and plenty of options. Thank you for a wonderful stay at the end of our vacation.

Such a welcoming, cosy and comfortable place to stay. Excellent value. I’ve already booked to stay again.

We loved our stay at the Old School House B&B. Ian and Kate greeted us with a warmwelcome into their B&B and had lots of great recommendations for dining and things to see and do in the area. The room was clean, cosy and well decorated and had lots of extra little touches, with a good choice of tea, hot chocolate or coffee and milk in a mini fridge to make in your room. The beds were really comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and well-lit.The breakfast was delicious and generous, setting us up for a long day of hiking. And in the evening we returned to a beautifully made up and cleaned room again with the added surprise of delicious brownies. We didn't use the guest lounge are but it looked like a lovely area to relax and unwind in. The location is perfect being out of the village's main street but less than a 5min walk to all the shops and pubs etc. I highly recommend The Old School House and would definitely stay again if I plan another trip to the area. Thank you
