My husband and I have just returned from two lovely nights at this fantastic B&B. We received a very warm and friendly welcome from Hannah upon arrival and were shown to our incredibly fresh and clean room, which we instantly loved. The room was airy and bright and every little detail has been thought of, everything from fresh milk and... More

Emma - we are delighted that "Team Shrimpton" were apparently able to look after you so well. Sorry I didn't get to meet you both but hopefully I will if you're able to return. Kathryn, and of course the hens, are delighted with your feedback on the scrambled eggs and Hannah is a star, helping out whenever we need her.... More

“Second time just as good”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 via mobile

This is the second time I have stayed at this outstanding B&B. In Newcastle on business, I opted to stay an extra 20 miles out of town to enjoy the personal service and idyllic setting of Fairshaw Rigg. From the warm family welcome, beautiful scenery and first class breakfast, this really is a home from home who like to make... More

“Proper stop.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

A spotless place. Really homely. Breakfast was faultless. And a lovely couple to boot. What more could you ask for . Stayed there for 2 nights and loved it. They even book your restaurants if you want and taxi. The restaurants know where your from and give you top quality service also. Well worth stopping over if your passing.

From the moment you arrive Paul and Kathryn make you feel so welcome however not over the top Hexham itself is a nice town and the area is outstanding.

“Perfect b and B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2013

For cyclists at the end of the day it is a bit of a tiring plod up the hill from Hexham - but 100% worth it. Fabulous, peaceful and relaxing b and b, where everything is perfect - from the simply delicious soup to the bath!
