I was lucky to be there when the weather was warm and,unfortunately, this meant that the mezzanine floor, where the bed is situated, got too hot to offer a decent nights sleep, despite the efficient ceiling fans and having opened the windows below.

I was lucky to be there when the weather was warm and,unfortunately, this meant that the mezzanine floor, where the bed is situated, got too hot to offer a decent nights sleep, despite the efficient ceiling fans and having opened the windows below. The winter-weight duvet didn’t help. The fridge would be a bit small for anyone wanting to do much cooking and there isn’t really any on site parking. I left my car, as advised, in the nearby Sainsbury’s car park and it was fine. There is a good train service from Haltwhistle and plenty of food shops, pubs and takeaways. Look out for the pop up Greek takeaway, across the road on Wednesday night.

The property is clean and comfortable although due to the position within the building, the bedroom is obviously at the very top and therefore gets very warm if the weather is kind. There is a ceiling fan which does it's best to distribute the air but if you are lucky enough to have great weather, as we did, you will probably need to leave the windows open too and because of the location to bars it can be a little noisy until closing time. The obvious answer here is to stay in the bar until closing ;-)

"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 ... Continue reading
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.

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.

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.
