“The accommodation was cosy, warm and had everything you would want for a self-catering holiday.”

Located in a small, friendly town within walking distance of pubs, restaurants, shops and Hadrian's wall. You can visit Carlisle and Newcastle by train and there is a bus along Hadrian's wall (mainly in summer months, but extended to November in this odd year). An ideal base for walks and sightseeing in this beautiful and historic area.

Lovely clean apartment,very quiet altho tv was impossible to watch a full program at times as it kept losing signal with a message saying it needed programing and did not come back on sometimes for over a hour,(very anoying) i dont think this is the norm for this area and this problem really does need sorting, other than that its spot on

“We enjoyed our stay here tremendously,The flat was really nice and comfortable and the wine and chocolate were a lovely touch.”

The village is very nice and the locals very friendly.A short picturesque walk takes you to Hadrians Wall and there are many great walks on the doorstep.

- Mrs Davies, September 2019
Mr Black September 2019

“The property exceeded my expectations in terms of privacy.”

Being on the top floor means you can see out over the town to the surrounding countryside both front and back, even though the location couldn't be more central, overlooking as it does the market square. You are well above all neighbours at the back, and although there is a building of equal height in front its top floors don't seem to be in use. This is unusual in my experience of self catering places. The directions for arrival provided by Stella were very clear and with a reassuring level of detail.

Mr Kielty June 2019

“Lovely flat.”

Very welcoming. airy and spacious. Great location. Lots to explore in immediate area and further afield. Lots of local amenities within easy walking distance. Would say that if you have mobility issues, this would not suit you as there are stairs up to the flat.

- Mr Kielty, June 2019
Mr Forrest April 2019

“The apartment was comfortable and clean and well equipped.”

It was in a great location in the middle of town. Haltwhistle is a wonderful quiet and peaceful place to stay, and within walking distance of Hadrian's Wall. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and attentive to our needs. Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay, and we hope to come back.

Heydns March 2019

“Fabulously clean apartment in super location”

Had a thoroughly enjoyable 4 night stay here. Everything that a traveller could wish for was provided. Super clean, immaculate bedding, well equipped kitchen. Lots of stairs so not for those with severely reduced mobility (book one of the downstairs flats). It is ideally located for shops, restaurants and as a base from which to explore Haltwhistle and the surrounding area. We will definitely return and we heartily recommended this property.

- Heydns, March 2019
Mrs Tee March 2019

“The accomodation was excellent.”

Spotlessly clean and everything that you could think of was there for you. We will definitely return to the area and would happily stay there again. We did have a small problem on arrival but it was sorted out immediately and the owners could not have been more helpful.

- Mrs Tee, March 2019
Mr Heydn February 2019

“The property is very well equipped, very clean, and superbly located to enjoy everything that Haltwhistle and the surrounding areas have to offer.”

We will certainly return.

“The Old Drapery (Drovers Rest)”

I stayed in the second floor flat which was advertised as the Drovers Rest. It was a lovely, clean and well equipped flat which was ideally located for exploring Hadrians Wall, the North Pennines and the surrounding countryside.

Mrs Robertson April 2018

“Lovely, bright and clean flat, in a great position for local facilities and access to Hadrian's Wall and other walks.”

(It was a perfect base for running my husband around so he could walk the whole HW National Trail.)

Mr Davies July 2017

“Very helpful , pleasant owners, they fixed intrusive light no problem, quiet and comfortable and good parking at rear.”

Town location stones throw from Sainsbury's v handy. Hadrian's Wall bus stop outside was convenient. Lovely walk up the burn and onto the wall. Had most enjoyable time in Haltwhistle.

Mrs Howie June 2016

“Lovely flat, warm and comfortable in excellent location.”

Convenient for buses and trains, nearby roads to all Hadrian s Wall sites. Two small supermarkets extremely close so could shop in the evening after a day out. Also nearby restaurant/takeaways. Plenty of info on what to do in the area supplied.

- Mrs Howie, June 2016

“Great location, very comfortable apartment & friendly owners”

I visit the Hardrians Wall area frequently. Haltwhistle is a great town to base out of. The apartment I rented was perfect. It was clean, comfortable, fully outfitted and well located. The owners Ian and Stella were excellent hosts starting with a welcome bottle of wine and chocolates. I plan to rent from them again.

“Central location to tour Hadrian's wall”

We completed a hiking tour of Hadrian's wall. Haltwhistle is centrally located close to the wall and with all the amenities needed, train, bus, information, pubs, food, and restaurants. Great apartment, clean and a very helpful owner. Quiet, we rented the top floor. Located mid town, across from the bus stop.

“Perfect accommodation, perfect location”

I can't rate this flat highly enough. From the moment we set foot in it it was perfect in every way. The attention to detail was excellent and the property only lacked a garden but then as we were out every day until well into the evening we did not need a garden. The central position of the property in the town means that you are a stones throw from grocery stores, pubs and restaurants. If you are here to walk you can walk from the door to numerous places but best of all is the river and gorge just a few minutes walk away and you can walk from there to Hadrians Wall and beyond.

Mrs Baxter May 2014

“The location of the property made for easy access to Northumberland National Park, the Lake District, Scotland and the Yorkshire Dales.”

The property itself was brilliant and couldn't be faulted, it was spacious, bright and really modern with all you need and more for a relaxing stay. Also a lovely welcome from the owners.

- Mrs Baxter, May 2014
Mr Glover October 2013

“Very cosy apartment for two.”

Mrs Johnson September 2013

“A warm welcome to a very clean, comfortable and well-equipped apartment.”

Centrally located for bus and train services to the surrounding area. Local shops and supermarkets within walking distance. The owners were also very helpful. We had a varied and interesting holiday in a beautiful area.

“Very good clean tidy and warm.”

Owners very helpful upon arrival, nicely furnished and central position. The permanetly "on" fire escape light was a bit annoying.

RedTeds July 2013

“Comfortable and Convenient”

This is a second floor flat situated right in the middle of Haltwhistle. It is extremely convenient for excursions into the countryside with both train and bus services from the town. There are also shops and places to eat very close by. The flat itself is very welcoming, it is spacious and well decorated and maintained and the quality of its fitments high. The comfortable bed and luxurious settees are most welcome after walks in the great outdoors and the availability of WiFi much appreciated. Its situation on the main street inevitably means there is some noise but this did not cause us any problems.

- RedTeds, July 2013

“Nice place; handy for Hadrian's Wall.”

Nice loft flat that's very handy for Hadrian's Wall. Makes a good base for folks with 2 cars doing point-to-point walks. The flat is much better than the entrance way and hallways. Nicely furnished and the kitchen is well-equipped. My one complaint is that the taps in the kitchen and bathroom are very cheaply finished. The bathroom sink and shower both leaked from our arrival. Overall, very handy for the local grocery store and pubs. Haltwhistle itself is lacking in depth in restaurants and pubs, but there is a very handy chip shop just down the High Street. "The Milecastle Inn" is a very nice pub just 3 miles away, on the Military Road, that does good food.

- AK, June 2013
Mr Kett April 2013

“The location in the village and closeness to Hadrian's Wall was great.”

The overall quality of the loft conversion done by the owners was excellent. The box of chocolates and hand-written welcome note were both nice touches.

“Fantastic pet friendly apartment in the centre of the country”

We spent a week at the Old Drapery and absolutely loved it. The accommodation was clean, modern and very spacious. The welcome was very warm (included bottle of wine and box of chocolates) and they could not have been more helpful. It's central location in Haltwhistle - in the centre of the country - was great. There was loads of information on what to do and where to go - espcially if you want to explore 'The Wall' which is only a stone's throw away. Highly recommended.

About the location

HALTWHISTLE

Hexham 17 miles.

Known as the 'Centre of Britain' this small market town is a great place from which to explore both Northumberland and Cumbria. Haltwhistle boasts a good range of shops and pubs - one of which, The Black Bull, is a real ale pub serving good food! There is an excellent leisure centre with heated open air swimming pool and cycle hire in the town, with pony trekking nearby. One of the best preserved stretches of Hadrian's Wall is only a mile to the north with various museums, forts and milecastles to be seen. There is even an ongoing 'dig' at the nearby site of Vindolanda. This truly is magnificent walking, riding and cycling country, with the Pennine Way and various bridleways and cycle routes passing rivers, forests, castles and of course, Hadrian's Wall. Visitors will enjoy this location in all weather and all seasons – a regular train and bus service from the town to Newcastle, The Metro Centre and Carlisle, means that you can leave the car behind and enjoy!
