It goes without saying that a stay at Wormald House is a wonderful and relaxing experience. The amenities are all top notch and attention to details and guest service is beyond expectations. If you go hungry after the sumptuous breakfast it’s your own fault. The menu is able to please any palate and Jayne is an amazing chef. But wait! There’s MORE!! Ian and Jayne’s pictures are in the dictionary next to “Unbelievable Hosts.” I had forgotten my passport and cash at a prior night’s hotel stay in Newcastle and Ian personally drove me back to retrieve the items. We had to wait over three hours for the Newcastle hotel to address my situation. In the meantime, Ian gave me a personal tour of many of Newcastle’s sights - all certainly unexpected. Ian then drove me onwards to my next destination (Corbridge) to join my friends (as we were doing the Hadrian’s Wall trek). Ian and Jayne are STARS in the hospitality business and are true examples of what it means to be welcoming and gracious. Thank you for a wonderfully unexpected and unforgettable stay at your lovely B&B!!! …

This was the last night of our Hadrian's Wall Walk, and it was a fitting end to a great vacation. Everything was perfectly fine, though we were too exhausted to notice any details. Ian and Jayne, the owners, actually glued my hiking boots back together after I limped in. I totally recommend Wormald House.

As long as you were well rested, and well fed that is fine by us. I hope you managed to get a few more miles out of your old boot! Thank you so much for your kind review. :)

A Six Star establishment - nothing more need be said! Except to say that this is the best B&B I have ever visited. Lovely village, with friendly people, an ancient and interesting railway station (yes, I am a 'train spotter), an amazingly interesting but tiny railway museum. Small village with four pubs! Don't take my word for it, just go there - but book well in advance if you want to stay in Wormald House.

Sometimes you just need a place to curl up and unwind - and so it was after a very long day on Hadrian’s Wall! Ian was waiting when we made our target and took us to the lovely, historic home that he and Jayne operate as a B&B. Room was lovely, even had a night light and lots of places to plug in all the stuff that we lug around! Little things - little things count - and Ian and Jayne do it very well! The nice thing about Wylam is that it is a robust village with lots of food options. Ian recommended the Ship Inn, new ownership, new menu and really good food - including fajitas with tortillas made in house - never had gin and fajitas before! Thanks to Ian for dropping us off the next morning to shave some miles off our walk sand to Jayne who gets our “best in show” prize for her amazing packed lunches and great breakfast!…

Ooooh! Thank you Mike - what an amazing review. The night lights are a new addition and come on bright if there is an emergency power cut - glad you like them. Hope you had fun in the rest of your walk x

A perfect stop over for family members attending a funeral in the village. Jayne and Ian were delightful hosts, the breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and accomodation was spotlessly clean. The ensuite rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. Would highly recommend.

We arrived soaking wet but still smiling. Great to take of our wet things, Ian kindly offered to dry our boots. The room was large, well decorated and appointed. We dined with supplies from the Co op, very near by, as we had enjoyed a hearty pub lunch earlier in the day. The following morning we walked a short distance across the Tyne to the station and took a train to Newcastle. Wylam seems to be a small village with interesting history.

Thank you for your review and broad smiles. Glad you noticed Wylam does have an interesting history based around mining and the railway. Hope you enjoyed seeing the grade 2 listed station box :)

I was lucky to stay here for two nights as I hiked Hadrian’s Wall and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ian is the happy driver who meets you at Heddon-on-the-Wall and gives you a lift down to Wylam, where you’re met with the warm and beautiful surroundings of the B&B that he runs with Jayne. Every detail has been attended to and you awake to a delicious breakfast-to-order in the morning (especially loved the homemade jam!). Delicious options for dinner and snacks nearby, and Ian was great and interesting company on the car drives. I hope to return to Wylam sometime in the future.

Great, comfortable one night stay whilst walking the wall. Hearty breakfast and free pick-up from and drop-off back at Heddon- on-the-Wall as needed. Good local food choices including wood fired pizza restaurant literally next door. Thank you.

My friend and I stayed at Wormald House in April and had a great time. We arrived earlier than the scheduled 4-6pm check-in time but this was no problem as Jayne was busy gardening and was happy to let us check-in early. As it was Easter weekend, Ian had booked us into the local pub in advance for dinner. Breakfast was great and the packed lunch, beautifully presented in a hamper style. The twin room we stayed in was very comfortable with a very clever bathroom, which made maximum use of the space available. As we arrived early from Newcastle, we also added a walk to Prudhoe Castle and back again, which was a very interesting additional experience. Ian and Jayne are a lovey couple and very welcoming. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend this picturesque location. …
