Very lovely, comfortable B&B situated in a quiet village yet close enough to Alnwick, Bamburgh & Bewick & obviously all the coastline inbetween. We were met warmly upon arrival, shown to our room & were offered a lovely pot of tea & biscuits to settle in with. During our three nights stay everything was perfect & very pleasant, from a...

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

From the moment you arrive you are made to feel welcome. We were met on the drive as we stepped out our car and immediately shown to our room. Tea and cakes then awaited us in the comfortable lounge area - the weather wasn't quite warm enough to enjoy it in the well kept garden. The room itself (room 3)... More

We have recently spent a night here when touring Northumberland with some American friends. We all found The Old School to be absolutely perfect. We were met as we arrived and shown to our rooms. We were then welcomed with a cup of tea and piece of cake. The rooms had been designed with everything thought of with a guest... More

My wife and I stayed for a long weekend and throroughly enjoyed the experience. It's the little things that make the difference. Kath came out to welcome us as we arrived. Having been shown to our room we were soon sitting in a comfortable lounge enjoying tea and cake and chatting with our fellow residents (on their 3rd visit so... More

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
