Maften High House is an extraordinary B & B! Geat welcome, good night's sleep in a comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and fine hospitality! It's a good job that the brewery next door was closed (Wednesday), otherwise I could have been dreaming!.

Jenny and Struan were very welcoming hosts and the cooked breakfast was delicious. Room large with large ensuite bathroom. Antique style decor not really to our taste but functioned perfectly well. The major downside was the hideously uncomfortably soft bed. At 4 months pregnant comfort is a priority and the sleepless night really did spoil an otherwise excellent stay. The... More

we came here as a base to attend a funeral. B&B's are scarse on the ground in this part of the world and after a frustrating search I turned to Alister Sawdays guide to get some help.

We were shown to a huge luxurious bedroom which was very nicely decorated and a lovely big bathroom where we could enjoy a bubble bath after a day walking - just perfect! The hosts were very... More

We spent our second night of our 84 mile hike on Hadrian's Wall at Matfen High House. We had hiked 10 miles and stopped at Robin Hood Inn to call for directions. We were instructed to walk across a field and turn into the woods contnue up until we came upon the house. It was a most interesting way to... More

This accommodation is a large house attached to a farm. Most of the farm has now been become a brewery with a visitors centre. The owners of the house could not be nicer - rooms are spacious and comfortable - everything you would expect from a nice B and B. The bonus for this place is High House Farm micro-brewery... More
