As a night's stay on part of a Hadrian's Wall walk this place was so good I organised to come back the next night! Throughout the house were collections of fascinating objects and wall hangings. There was excellent attention to detail in my delightfully coordinated room (Livia's Lair). The bath was huge, the hot water never-ending with luxurious bubble bath... More

Absolutely fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble - we arrived slightly early but it wasn't an issue. Our room was ready and after ordering breakfast from the huge menu, we relaxed in Caliguas Chamber room. Robes, slippers, chocolate, DVDs, so many little extras that made it such a wonderful night. Breakfast was delicious and we made some friends for the... More

We booked late and we were put in a room that was not planned to be available, which we appreciated. The standard of the room was excellent and we had the best nights sleep of our week long break. Huge well equipped bathroom. The welcome was second to none! We had tea and cake on the terrace overlooking the valley... More

This place was a remarkable find and the best place we stayed during our recent Hadrian's Wall walk. It is the only 5* B&B on route and well deserved, nothing was too much trouble. I have stayed in some 5* hotels in London and believe me - this is better !! Totally remarkable value. We were welcomed after a long... More

We returned for three more comfortable nights in the room "Hadrian's Retreat" (previous visit last September). We found circular walks from the door taking in the wall and other Roman sites, the popping stone, Thirlwell castle. We also visited Keswick for a day in the Lake District - about an hour and fifteen minutes drive. A warm welcome on arrival... More

This was our first stop on a trip north from Yorkshire. We were greeted with cake and tea in the sunshine then shown to our large well appointed room, very comfortable bed and lovely ensuite. Everything we could need was provided and an excellent breakfast rounded off the experience. We could also see part of Hadrian's Wall from our window.... More

We chose The Hill on the Wall for a convenient overnight stay on our journey to and from Aberdeenshire but we found much more than a stop-over. A warm welcome on our arrival and delicious scones and homemade cakes. Extremely comfortable rooms and beds with everything you could wish for and a great Full English breakfast. We were sorry not...

From the bottom of the drive you would not image the gem that is hidden in the trees, the outside of the property is tidy but the inside is truly impressive. We had a superb room with private bathroom across the corridor, which was no problem as bathrobes and slippers were provided. From the moment we arrived when Ian greeted... More

This 5 star B&B more than exceeded our expectations in comfort, hospitality and food, as well as the extras we were amazed at being included. Highly recommend and its a short distance from Hadrians Wall. We slept in Caligula's Chamber and had an wonderful view of the Wall from this exquisite 16th century house. Thanks Elaine & Ian.
