Both my wife and I found this Gem as we wanted to stay West of Newcastle prior to the Great North Run rather than driving up from Wigan on the morning.
David and Jackie were really lovely people, welcoming and attentative. They have spent some money on giving the customer all mod cons. Breakfast is wonderful, with relaxing calm views, to start your day off.
We would have stayed after the race but working early Monday resulted in us driving South after the race.
Its ideal for the best parts of Hadrians Wall, Hexham races, and Newcastle is very close too, We will stay here again.
Thanks Mike & Rachel x

We stayed here on a couple of days ago and so I wanted to write a review whilst my memory is fresh.
Grindon Cartshed can be found approx 1 mile off the Hadrians Route 72, however if you think you have overcome the hills and it is an easy free wheel down to the farm think again. We had no energy left but had to overcome a couple of extra hills which we hadn't accounted for! Such is life.

The Cartshed and farm area is stunning and the views amazing. It is so remote and peaceful up there and travelling as a group with bikes it is perfect. Dave has a little barn area with drying room to store the bikes and he kindly let us use his hose pipe to wash the bikes down. Dave and his wife are very welcoming.

The accommodation is first class in every respect, top quality furniture, WiFi and lovely comfy beds and duvets. They really have paid a lot of attention to detail. The breakfast was top notch too.

We ate dinner at a local pub (The Twice Brewed) ,just a short taxi journey away. There were six of us, and so the taxi had to make return journeys, but even bearing that in mind, four journeys came to a total of £25! Very reasonable indeed.

We would definitely use the Cartshed again and highly recommend it for anyone doing this trip.

Thanks!

Staying here was a pleasure. Everything from the welcome tea onwards was excellent. The owner, Jackie could not have been more helpful. It's the perfect location from which to explore Hadrian's Wall and the surrounding area. Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum are only a short drive away. Some great pubs in the local area too. We had a lovely room and the breakfast next morning was excellent. We stayed here for two nights and could not have asked for better.

For wheelchair users this is a great place to stay. We were here for two weeks and the facilities were very good and easy to use. Adjustable beds, spacious rooms, excellent cooking and washing facilities; very warm, very clean, very comfortable and welcoming. A hoist can be hired and was there for us when we arrived.
My partner is wheelchair-bound so anything that makes life easier for me is most welcome!
The location is ideal for touring Northumberland and enjoying the beautiful scenery and wealth of places to visit - Kielder Water, Durham Cathedral, Blanchland, Alnwick garden, Hadrian's Wall, Corbridge, Vindolanda, the Roman Army Museum, Hexham, Belsay Castle and gardens, Wallington garden, Lanercost Priory, Gibside, the Bowes Museum, were some of the places we visited.
Our thanks to Jackie and Dave for providing such comfortable and wheelchair-friendly accommodation in such delightful and tranquil surroundings and for making our stay so enjoyable.
Last but not least, an enchanting greater spotted woodpecker came to feed at the bird-table every day - a joy to watch. We nicknamed him Bede as he was a Venerable Bird.
