We stayed over for one night for our walking holiday and I definately could have happily stayed longer! Beautiful house, gracious hosts, lovely tea after a long walk, lovely breakfast, and a fabulous packed lunch! Would stay again and have already put the word out to those I know about this great B&B! And for those that say it's too... More

Together with my father we stayed for only one night. Of course that was not enough! I you want to experience landlife and tranquillity, visit Roger and Lorna's place. No hotel can get this high level of interest and service. Yes, you perhaps have to pay a few pounds more, but they are more than worth it. The place is... More

We were a group of 2 grandparents in the cottage and two children, one son-in-law and 3 grandchildren 12,10,8 yrs in the house. A perfect arrangement with all mod cons and a very happy stay with kind and helpful hosts. The breakfasts were superb, so the family told us - we made our own in the cottage. Plenty of info... More

We stayed at Tantallon Cottage as a base for visiting Hadrian's Wall. The cottage has great facilities including wifi, all the comforts of home and most importantly after a long day walking, an extremely comfy bed! Everything in the cottage is to a high specification and quality, and to top it all there is Hoot the owl in the back... More

The double room we stayed in for three nights was generously sized, immaculately clean and comfortable. The ensuite bath was hotel-sized. Mostly, Roger and Lorna were perfect hosts. We enjoyed our hearty breakfast at the table for two in the parlor with the view of the countryside and Hadrian's Wall. The location is excellently positioned for either walking or auto-touring...

My wife and I had planned a few days to see the Roman ruins near Hadrian's wall. Our first night was spent at Tantallon House. What a great choice that was! Lorna(owner) made us tea and biscuits when we arrived and then spent a long time telling us about all the sights to see in the area. The beds in... More

3 couples stayed at Tantallon as part of our walking trip. It was our last B&B on the walking trip and by far the best ! Superbly clean modern bathrooms in keeping with the Beautiful period bedrooms. Roger and Lorna were great hosts and wow what a breakfast ! Felt privileged to stay here and would live to return!

We had a good breakfast with a homemade fruit salad. This B&B is situated very near the Hadrian's Wall path. They provide a good WiFi. This B&B is very good, very quiet, very... More

August 1 2012. We stayed for 2 delightful nights. Our host and hostess had plenty of good information regarding Hadrians Wall and the surrounding area. The local bus picked us up right outside the Bed and Breakfast and in the evening brought us right back to Tantallon House. The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was as good as... More
