  • "Lovely property in an ideal location for walking sections of the wall or other local areas."

    Quiet and comfortable with ample parking. Village a short walk down the hill,with cafe and pub, plus Birdsoswald fort just a 2 mile stroll following the wall. Might be an idea to take games with you, but there is a book swap at the bus stop in the village. No shops near, so you will need to have provisions with you if not eating out.

    Thanks for your lovely comments Susan. This will definitely help our possible guests.we will add some books and games to the house this Autumn. Thanks once again for choosing to stay at 4 Alpha Rise. Susan& Keith Property Owner

  • "I used this property as a base for walking my final leg of the Hadrian's Wall Path from Newtown near Brampton to it’s conclusion at Wallsend."

    The property is located in a rural position adjacent to the Wall. It has easy access to the A69 and B6318. The property was clean, comfortable and good value for money.

  • "I don't usually write reviews but I thought the 4 Alpha Rise deserved some praise."

    I stayed here a week and was totally relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Susan and Keith are brilliant hosts attentive and friendIy. Alpha Rise was very well equiped with modern decor and had everything I needed for my stay. I found the king-sized bed very comfortable and the ensuite bathroom handy. The electric shower in the ensuite bathroom was excellent, hot and powerful. But if you like a long soak there's a bath on the ground floor. The property is more like a town house (3 floors) and features great views of the beautiful countryside. Where you can watch sheep in the fields or the farmer haymaking. The views across the rolling farmland are inspiring and lift the spirit. There are 2 flights of stairs to negotiate, but even though I am elderly and have a replacement knee joint I managed the stairs without problem. The Sony smart TV worked well and has Sky so I used iPlayer to catch up on program's I like. Broadband in the property was good with reasonable speeds. However phone signal on 3 network was absent but by using the WiFi and WiFi Calling I was able to make phone calls and send/receive texts. I made use of the thoughtfully provided tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and milk. All super clean and nothing seemed too much trouble to ask of these excellent hosts. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments I’m pleased you managed the stairs ok, and for pointing this out to other potential guests. We want our guests to feel so comfortable and relaxed during their stay. We are pleased you felt this during your time at 4 Alpha Rise. Thanks for choosing our Holiday house.

  • "Instructions to find key were great!"

    Inside was absolutely STUNNING!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!! AMAZING!!!! Spotlessly clean, nice and warm, beautiful soft Towels of which there were many, beds soooo comfortable - was like staying in a 5 star hotel!!!! Owners were absolutely LOVELY - nothing too much trouble, soooo accommodating!!!! Brought extra Towels as we liked it sooooo much we stayed two weeks! Outside you have loads of room to sit out and enjoy the STUNNING view across the fields full of Wildflowers, and a huge 8 seater table/bench with huge parasol, so you can just enjoy relaxing, and also enjoy the tranquillity of listening to the wild birds and the odd train that goes past across the fields! In the distance are STUNNING views into the hills and mountains beyond! I have stayed in a few places, but hand on heart we both agreed it really is THE BEST one have EVER stayed in!!!!! Oh almost forgot - plenty of hot water with huge bath downstairs with its own toilet and handbasin, and upstairs a luxurious en-suite Shower - so two or more people can get ready at the same time! And I must also point out - the kitchen is just AMAZING - cupboards full of every item you would need to even cook a Christmas dinner - again the BEST equipped kitchen ever!

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments . We love the fact you appreciate everything. We do try to make the house as homely as possible and aim for our guests to have a comfortable and pleasant experience. Property Owner

  • "Beautifully presented property, not suitable for people with mobility issues due to too many stairs."

    Spotlessly clean, everything has been thought of so that you have a great stay. Perhaps could benefit from instructions for oven and more prominent signage, other than that perfect

    Thank you for your comments and feedback it is much appreciated.The house is definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues . We are looking into having better signage to the property . Susan & Keith Property Owner

  • "We really enjoyed our stay, we were there for work and the place was in a great location for us."

    It looks way nicer in real life than the photos, with a nice view across a valley with the tiny two carriage train nipping by during the day. It is well stocked with everything you need, including a dishwasher which was great for us!

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Keith& Susan Property Owner

Gilsland is a small village with a pub and a tea room on the Northumberland, Cumbria border. It is situated on Hadrian's Wall and is ideal for exploring the north Pennines, Eden Valley, the Scottish Borders and even as far south west as the Lake District National Park. Gilsland lies within 10 miles of Housesteads Roman Fort and Vindolanda, famous for the Roman parchment letters and settlement reconstruction. There are numerous castle ruins close by, including Blenkinsopp, Thirlwall, Bellister and Bewcastle, and the pretty market town of Brampton is within a 15-minute drive and Carlisle is just 30 minutes away. For a great day trip, visit the Lake District National Park, or spend a day in Cumbria.
