It's one of the best stays we've had! Fearga and Graham are ever so kind and helpful. The place is adorable, cosy, and so comfortable. They thought through everything, from fluffy towels to a great quality speaker for my music. Their generous breakfasts kept us energetic till dinner. We would definitely love to come back.

I think because it was winter it was a little cold and a little damp but the lovely hosts provided heaters and hot water bottles so at night we were very cosy.

It was very cute and beautifully presented. The host was so lovely and had ensured the Bothy was well stocked with breakfast things and even chocolate treats. We were offered a bottle of wine on arrival which was so sweet and gave recommendations for local restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and the WiFi worked well enough to stream. The property is really conveniently located but secure and private.

Nothing at all. It was perfect! Can't wait to go back again.

Everything!! The room was warm and cosy, very quiet. The bed was so comfie. The shower was hot and powerful, just what I needed after a long walk in the surrounding area. We got back to the bothy just after dark. The torches available on the bedside table helped up find our way. Fearga went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect. The breakfast provided for 2 could have fed a family of 6. The kettle and coffee machine was a nice touch, with a huge selection of drinks, biscuits, and chocolate. The radio and Bluetooth speaker both used. We loved our stay, no complaints at all.

Nothing - only wish we'd booked to stay for longer.

Firstly, instructions to find the property were excellent. The hosts are warm and welcoming and give fantastic advise for places to visit if needed - nothing was too much bother. The Bothy itself was better than we expected. The place is spotlessly clean, the bed super comfy and we loved sitting outside enjoying a coffee breathing in the beautiful fresh air. The breakfast selection was brilliant and enough food to feed an army! We visited three different places to eat, and one meal my husband said it was the best lamb dish he'd ever tasted. A wonderful quiet place to stay, perfectly located to visit many areas of Hadrians Wall.

Lovely hosts - very friendly and helpful with suggestions on where to eat and what to see. Nice cosy little cottage with all the kitchen necessities cleverly fit into a small space. The range offered for breakfast was very thoughtful and a really nice touch.

Location was idyllic, very peaceful with nature all around. The views were very special.

Nothing really.

Very charming place, and welcoming hosts. Breakfast was selected before arrival, and was placed in a fridge for us to use in the morning. The bothy is very close to Greenhead, which has an excellent restaurant (Greenhead Hôtel), and some of the best bits of Hadrian's wall.

The only slight downside was having to park across the road, but once you had your bags in, it wasn't a problem.

Lovely luxurious little Bothy. Such attention to detail made it a lovely place to stay. Excellent breakfast, which we assembled ourselves. Would have loved to stay longer, and we hope to visit again.

A great little property very close to all attractions for Hadrians Wall. We were welcomed and provided with a lot of information about Hadrians Wall forts and Museum as well as recommendations for lunch and dinner. The continental breakfast provided was lovely, there is also a microwave and Nespresso machine. Overall a wonderful stay and would thoroughly recommend a stay at The Bothy

Only that we couldn't stay longer.

The breakfast was perfect. They customized our choices ahead of our visit and everything was of the highest quality. The location was extremely quiet and the views and setting were beautiful.

Leaving.

If you want to base yourself in the most beautiful area of Northumberland with very close access to the best of Hadrian's Wall, this is it! Our host Fearga was absolutely delightful and made our time at the Bothy so much fun! The Bothy was most comfortable, and the breakfast provisions were plentiful and delicious!

Stayed in May 2023

Should've booked a longer stay! Two nights wasn't enough!

Charming hosts, brilliant bothy, all needs were anticipated, and what a location!! Perfect for a solo traveler, near all the top Hadrian's Wall stops, and Haltwhistle a postcard pretty and walkable village. Full marks!

The location was perfect, up a country lane, and opposite the owner’s house, with wonderful views. The Bothy was simply stunning. It had a lovely feel about it. It was cosy and quaint, which was just what we wanted. The owner’s were very friendly, always on hand, and couldn’t have been more helpful. They made us feel very welcome.

location and interesting building

Absolutely nothing !

The Bothy is a beautifully renovated building which is perfect for a couple for short term self catering with breakfast supplied. Fearga and Graham are very welcoming and make you feel very much at home. Fearga supplies a delicious continental breakfast with many choices. Everything was fresh and there was more than ample to set you up for the day. There is a very practical small kitchenette which allows you to prepare light meals in the evening. The bed was very comfortable and the shower great ! There is a small terrace outside which would be lovely on a warm evening.The Bothy is very well situated to explore the Hadrians Wall area aswell as the North Penines . There are countless activities available.

It was far too quiet....Joking of course!

Fantastic hosts thank you both. Couldn't ask for more. The Bothy is perfect. Wonderfully comfortable, extremely clean, warm and more than enough for anyone who wants to escape. A credit to you both thank you.

My visit was truly wonderful and provided the quiet getaway I needed. The property is positioned perfectly to explore the Northumberland countryside, Yorkshire Dales and is not far from the Lake district and Scotland. You really can’t go in the wrong direction. Before I proceed, I should mention that this review is actually for The Ivy Cottage, not for The Bothy, as I had originally booked. A few days prior to my arrival, my generous hosts offered me an upgrade from the quaint and rustic bothy, to their gorgeous and spacious ground floor apartment known as The Ivy Cottage. What a kind gesture! The Ivy Cottage is immaculate, beautifully decorated & clearly planned for the comfort and convenience of the traveler. From the delicious, local breakfast provisions, teas & snacks, the soothing bedding, modern bathroom, wood/coal burning fireplace, comfortable tv lounge and a library of great reads & travel guides, you can’t ask for much more. Fearga & Graham were consummate hosts. Friendly, knowledgeable and very approachable. They truly went out of their way to make sure that my stay was everything I hoped it would be. I’m certain I’ll be back again soon. Thanks for everything.

To be in the countryside where we could relax.

There was nothing to dislike.

Detached cottage at your own disposal. What more could you want. Fresh ingredients for breakfast, to assemble yourself. Very nice hosts who try to make every wish come true.

Going home.

What an adorable place to stay. Everything about our stay was perfect, just the right amount of seclusion, but still close to great places to eat, walk etc. The Bothy itself was lovely, everything you need to get away from it all. Out hosts Fearga and Graham were lovely also, always making sure we had what we needed. Fearga also surprised us with a bottle of bubbly and some chocolates as we were there for our 25h wedding anniversary. Thank you again for that Fearga. The surrounding countryside is also gorgeous, we have certainly fallen in love with Northumberland and will hopefully be back soon. Mark and Sharon.

The Bothy is a lovely cottage to spend a few days at. It is located within a short drive to Hadrian's Wall, so it was perfect for our visit. The hosts are very welcoming and kind. The cottage has everything you could want after a day's walk on the Wall. The breakfast was generous and prepared for our stay.
