The hosts are charming and knowledgeable. The bathroom was immaculate and the bed was super comfortable and we had splendid sleep. Many choices for dining are nearby. We truly hope to come back again.

The Old School House is THE BEST B&B period. Kate and Ian go to great lengths to provide everything you could possibly need. They are so kind and hospitable. Kate provides a huge and delicious breakfast tailored to suite you. There is extra fruit to take away on your day trips. And fabulous cakes, tea, coffee, water and a chocolate to greet you in your room every afternoon. Don’t even think about staying anywhere else. You will love it!

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.

I arrived at there through rain, they made me feel so happy, because of their warmful and comfortable treatment.
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.

Old School House, Haltwhistle
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!

Best B&B in England
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.
