loughbrow is a loveley country house but its splendour is somewhat faded. my room had worn carpets and was not as clean as i would expect from a 4 crown b and b. the bathroom had cobwebs on curtains and no shower also the room was cold with only a single bar fire for heat. very dissapointed.

I stayed here for two nights with my husband and mother-in-law in 2007 or 2008. It was a wonderful find. Lovely huge grounds to wander about in full of rhododendrons, trees, flowers, views. The garden at the back of the house, full of vegetables and fruit, is also lovely to walk round - the ballroom was pulled down to make it larger - a very sensible idea. The house was vast ,elegantly furnished but with a quirky and practical feel. We were met by a dog (a labrador I think from memory) which reminded us of our own dog. Breakfast was excellent. There are jams for sale. The bedrooms were large with views of - now - dilapidated tennis courts. The bedrooms were comfortably and colourfully furnished with everything we needed.
If you want a sense of space and like the countryside, this is the place for you. If you want somewhere "fashionable" and "modern", this is not the place for you.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Loughbrow, very peacefull and very helpfull staff and landlady. We found the accommodation very comfortable, clean and relaxing. Perfect location if visiting Hadrians Wall and for me the Metro Centre in Gateshead. Looking forward to our next visit

Loughbrow House is a unique country house owned by a delightful English Lady.

The house is like the tardis and just keeps providing amazing and beautiful discoveries. The breakfast is classically served in the dining room and includes home made bread and preserves and delicious fresh coffee. The preserves and chutneys can be bought at a very reasonable rate.

The house has fantastic views of Hexham, the Abbey and along the valley.

A great place to step back in time, pretend that you are the lady of the manor, have an extremely peaceful nights sleep and filling home cooked breakfast.

We will return.
