  Cottage is beautiful and such a great location for what we wanted.

  I would definitely recommend it, and happily stay again. It was clean and tidy and well maintained. The parking was a bit annoying due to packing kit daily in the car, but at no point did I struggle to find parking as there is a car park at the back of the house. If bringing a dog, just know there is no garden, to let them out in as the garden at the back of the property is owned by the neighbours. Hence I was having to walk my dog at 6 am The range master has a one and a half oven we couldn't get the cooker to work on the bottom left which meant we were left with a very small space to put stuff in the oven. The baking trays provided were rusty and need replacing Pillows have not been replaced in the main bedroom in what looks like years. It was a very uncomfortable sleep, they were flattened from wear. Although a couple of moans, they are just tiny tweaks which I'm sure the owner will sort in next to no time, as when I spoke to him he was very accommodating. Buying food was expensive there's a small Sainsburys and co-op near by, but charging corner shop prices. If cooking I would suggest bringing as much as you can to avoid overcharging. Can highly recommend the local butchers they do a great range of pies and pasties, my boys loved the large sausage rolls when we were out walking!

  Bastle House is in a perfect location for all amenities.

  The train station is 0.2 miles down the road. Plus, the main street has a couple of bus stops with a regular bus service. There are shops and takeaways plus a couple of chippies, one nearly opposite with a portion big enough to feed two or three! Having eaten too much there is a medical walk-in centre nearby! Best of all is the Manor House Inn 2 doors away. Great food and drink,on Tuesdays and Thursdays they have a 2 course special. The Black Bull Inn is just off the town square and worth a visit. The house itself is well equipped with 3 double bedrooms, one with en-suite. A shaving mirror and bath mat would have helped in there, plus a bed throw for the thin quilt. In the master bedroom was a large comfy bed but let down by uncomfortable bedding. Way too hot for mild nights. Also the main street was lit all night so it would be helpful if the room was fitted with a blackout blind or curtains. In the lounge the handsome 3 seater sofa was desperately uncomfortable. Furthermore,the 2 plugs located near the window in the master bedroom need to be switched on for the lounge TV to work. All in all, it is a great house in a great location and would happily stay again.

  The house was amazing-spacious and spotless-much bigger than it looks in the photos.

  The bedrooms were so comfy and the bathroom so lovely for a soak in the bath after a long days walking. Everything was just stunning and we will def be back The kitchen and the living room were fab and we loved the log burner which made the house so cozy at night-it was nice and warm and couldnt fault a thing Only slightly negative thing was parking outside the house was limited to 2 hours but we parked in the sainsburys carpark overnight which is council owned and just fetched the car up when we packed the car back up after our stay which wasnt too much of a problem Adam the host was very helpful and extremely quick to respond to our texts when i sent questions . We really enjoyed the house and Haltwhistle was a lovely sleepy town-can recommend the manor House inn for evening meals and Jerichos cafe for breakfast and cakes

  This was a nice cottage in a great location.

  Parking wasn’t great as you only have 2 hours outside the property. I appreciate it is not far to walk to the other car park but didn’t feel totally comfortable leaving my car there. The facilities were good and functional and both showers really good. The mattress in the main bedroom was very badly stained and this did put me off quite a bit! The pillows and duvets could also do with a refresh. We didn’t see the two bins by the side of the house and (wrongly) assumed our two bins were outside the garage opposite. Unfortunately, the rather irate octogenarian put us in our place which was a tad uncomfortable. Perhaps a little note in the visitors book could clarify this - especially if you are not observant like ourselves! Overall, this was a pleasant stay and thank you for the generous amount of logs for the fire.

  Really enjoyable weekend.

  Town lovely, people salt of the earth, friendly and welcoming. Close to Hadrians Wall. Living in the North East and never seeing Hadrians Wall until this weekend at the age of 54 ( a little ashamed about that especially when I met a man from Texas on the wall who had got there before me LOL) belated but a lovely experience. About 5 miles round trip. I walk lots with my dogs but I am not a walker. You do not need to be. It is a beautiful walk up through the burn across the military road and a couple of fields and you are at the wall. You then feel that you are on top of not one world but two, the Romans might have thought the same. Bastle House is lovely accommodation. Nice decor and very homely. Built as a safe house, that is what it felt like, solid and dependable. Thank You for the opportunity to enjoy this lovely property
