Having stayed before we wanted to give my father the Old School experience. If you want a little piece of heaven in Northumberland this is the place to stay. The welcome is always warm, with tea and cakes on arrival. The rooms provide every comfort and we judge all breakfasts by the standard of Malcolm's. Nothing has ever been found... More

My wife and I decided to spend three nights in Northumberland on the way back from a holiday in Scotland. After reading the outstanding reviews on here, it was an easy decision to book this excellent bed and breakfast and we were not disappointed. We were met by Cath on the drive and immediately shown to our wonderful room before... More

This was our first visit but will not be the last. we were met in the driveway by Kath and treat like friends, the B&B is like a picture box and the gardens outstanding. our... More

It was our first visit. the guesthouse was excellent. On arriving we were given a warm welcome.Their hospitality was excellent as were the breakfasts. I would definitely reccommend it to anyone wishing to travel to a wonderful part of england.

What a beautiful, well thought of B&B, better than any hotel I have ever stayed in that costs 2 to 3 times as much! All I wanted and much more. Right down to the slightest detail. Breakfast was a huge menu of absolutely anything so it seemed, top class place, wonderful couple running it. Will be going back ! They... More

We picked the 'loft' room from the pictures we'd seen online. Its surprisingly spacious and boasts a great little en-suite with fantastic shower. It was quite nippy outside, but always warm in our room, especially the en-suite which had a towel rail radiator pumping out heat 24/7. I also liked the electric shutters on the velux windows, they turned the... More
