The Old School House

Ian and Kate were spot on and just what we needed after a day of hiking and exploring. Friendly and approachable but gave us our space. Helpful with dinner ideas. They cooked a delicious made to order breakfast that left nothing to be desired. Highly recommend!

I arrived just after 8pm and was personally and kindly welcomed to The Old School House. After a long day’s walk, I was offered a drink, which was much appreciated. My bags were taken to my room, and I was given a tour of the property.Breakfast was homely and delicious, and I enjoyed meeting some lovely fellow guests. The place was immaculate, and the hosts were absolutely charming.I would definitely stay again and it was just what I needed after a 30-mile walk!

Eit sjarmerande lite B&B med høg standard på alt - service, frukost, rommet, badet, området. Ian og Kate fortener verkeleg all skryt dei får for den fine plassen deira!

Most hospitable B&B we've ever experienced! 6 stars is a better way to rate our stay.

Quiet. 5/5 Clean. 5/5 Available parking. 5/5 Located conveniently. 5/5 Breakfast. 5/5 Hosts. 5/5 Proprietors Ian and Kate are very friendly and helpful. And the breakfast spread they put on is impressive (and delicious.) We visited from San Diego and their B&B was one of the highlights of our trip.

Absolutely fabulous place to stay with superb breakfast, great location and lovely hosts.

The fresh cakes in the rooms everyday, made it special. Very homely, friendly and clean.

Ian and Kate truly make the Old School House feel like home. Lovely place to stay - wished we could have stayed a few more days. Excellent breakfast, too.

The Old School House sets a high standard for B and Bs. Thank you Kate and Ian!

Absolutely perfect in every detail! Every single amenity and convenience has been anticipated. The breakfast was phenomenal with an outstanding array of homemade choices sure to please anyone. The hosts are charming and knowledgeable. The bathroom was immaculate and the bed was super comfortable and we had splendid sleep. Many choices for dining are nearby. We truly hope to come back again.

The Old School House is THE BEST B&B period. Kate and Ian go to great lengths to provide everything you could possibly need. They are so kind and hospitable. Kate provides a huge and delicious breakfast tailored to suite you. There is extra fruit to take away on your day trips. And fabulous cakes, tea, coffee, water and a chocolate to greet you in your room every afternoon. Don’t even think about staying anywhere else. You will love it!

This B&B was one of the best we stayed in during our 3-week stay in the U.K. Our room was beautifully appointed, spacious, and contained everything we needed. We were even able to do a load of laundry. Kate and Ian were very hospitable, and breakfast was amazing. Wish we could have stayed more than one night.

We wholeheartedly recommend this very comfortable and friendly b&b within a few minutes drive of Hadrian's Wall. Kate and Ian made us feel very welcome and our room and breakfast were both perfect. A real gem.

A great place to stay - comfortable, extremely clean and very friendly. Great breakfast.

Excellent

Highly recommend staying here. Owners are very hospitable.

The hosts were lovely and the were very clean and comfortable

Ian and Kate were fabulous hosts! They offered to do some laundry which was needed after a muddy day on the trails. The accomodations were first rate. The breakfast and homemade lemon cake was delicious!! Would certainly recommend!

It was great to catch up with Kate & Ian for our second visit. The review scores for this B&B are not an exaggeration as the hosts are clearly seeking out perfection in all aspects, particularly the hospitality shown and the breakfast on offer. We use it as a Scotland stop-over and to us, its worth the drive from the M6, but the outstanding Northumbrian scenery makes it a destination in its own right. Can't recommend highly enough.

Hosts Ian and Kate were very friendly and helpful. The home cooked sweets in our room were lovely!
