We spent one night here on our drive across England. Matt, the owner, was so welcoming and friendly! The B&B is absolutely perfect! Exactly what you picture in your mind the perfect B&B in the english countryside to be. Matt, a former professional chef, made us one of the best breakfasts we have ever had! It was all local and...

We got to know Matt, the host, from the initial emails and knew then that Chapelburn House was a find. When we arrived Matt was no surprise and his family were the same. Uncomplicated, open, friendly children. We all thought he was an old friend. Our room was beautiful from the crisp white cotton on the bed, the amazing bathroom... More

We naively wanted to see Hadrians Wall and tried to find a B&B close by. We didnt know specifics about the English countryside and were travelling by train so were unaware about the remoteness of Chapelburn House (from a train perspective). After finally being picked up in Gilsland by Matt, the owner, we couldnèt have been more plessded with what... More

Thank you to Matt, Katie and their beautiful children for making my 40th birthday such a memorable occasion! My partner and I stayed here with our (then) six year old daughter a year ago and had an amazing stay. We knew then, that we would return and we are only sorry that it wasn't sooner, as it didn't disappoint! We... More

A good location close to Hadrians Wall and Vindolanda. Lovely setting in the countryside. Room and shower room were a good size and the shower was very powerful! Breakfast was super, sausages and bacon from their own pigs, homemade bread and spreads. A lovely B+B.

Although there's not much "rough" in the local area, Chapelburn House is a can't miss winner. Hosts Matt and Katie and their family were the most welcoming hosts we encountered during our two-week drive in Scotland - yes, we did slip south of the border to stay here. Honestly, the Chapelburn House is smack in the middle of a rual,... More

This is how all B&Bs should be! Absolutely idyllic setting, really lovely rooms (with a super-comfy bed!) and incredible food (our many allergies were catered for without issue!). We were made to feel so welcome & really looked after so stay here if you can!

Stay there, that's all you need to know. Matt is a fantastic host, the rooms are really pretty (although the south bedroom is more spacious and has the best en-suite bathroom you'll imagine), the B&B setting is rural and quiet and only a few minutes' drive from some very scenic parts of the Hadrian Wall. Oh, yes, the food is... More

Does it get any better than this? As you're driving down country lanes at night en route to your stay for the weekend, you can be hopeful - and sometimes worried - on your choice of B&B. Experience shows the results can be mixed. Will the hosts be friendly and welcoming? The rooms decent? It took about half a nanosecond... More
