I love this B&B, because I know I can truly rely on Bob & Irene for a great stay. I first went a couple of years ago with a friend on a walking break. So when my daughter and I recently needed an overnight stop in Northumberland, there was no contest. It's the perfect combination of everything you need: close... More

When organising our trip which was to include Berwick-upon-Tweed, Lindisfarne and Durham, we checked this site and thought that this B&B sounded too good to be true, but it really was that that good. Our hosts were friendly, hospitable and knew when to give you space and when to chat - we were even given tea and scones on arrival.... More

The next day saw us transported to the start of our walk with a more than generous packed lunch. We could not have wished for more and yet... More

Lots of choice for breakfast, well cooked and served... More
