Very comfortable and cosy place to stay in a fantastic location. The accommodation is spacious and is a unique property. The views and wildlife around are amazing. It's in the countryside but close to all amenities. Great location for exploring Hadrian's wall and surrounding area. Would recommend to anyone.
