“The Reiver's Retreat is a fantastic ...”

The Reiver's Retreat is a fantastic holiday accommodation - it is spotlessly clean, very comfortable & in a great location. Haltwhistle is an ideal base to explore Northumberland and has many places to eat in, fabulous take-aways, friendly locals and a few dog-friendly pubs. We will definitely book Reiver's Retreat again! Thank you to the owners for their helpfulness and unexpected welcome goodies - the Easter Egg went down very well with the bottle of wine!

“On arrival we were pleased to see ...”

On arrival we were pleased to see that the property was as advertised and more. The owners have thought of all things to make it feel a home from home. We used the property as a base for a bit of walking. Its ideally placed for access to the wall. About 40 mins from Newcastle and same from Carlisle. The local amenities are brilliant. Sainsbury's right behind the coop down the high street. The black bull pub across the way and a chip shop one side Chinese the other. However if u want to Cook yourself the kitchen is well equipped. One suggestion to any other people staying is to turn all radiators down on arrival. It was a little warm at times. Though that's not usually something to moan about. I am already looking when we can come and stay here again.

“Spacious accommodation in good location”

This is a great place to stay for visiting Hadrian's Wall country and further afield in Northumberland. There is a large living/dining room and all the amenities and furnishings are of a high standard. All the shops you need are close by, including a supermarket only a short walk away. We loved the location and the accommodation.

“This was a last minute booking due ...”

This was a last minute booking due to being let down by another company. The owners had the apartment ready for us within 2 hours and it was spotless. Being in the centre of Haltwhistle, with walks from the door(to Hadrians Wall) and a fantastic pub ( The Black Bull) just 50 yards away , made our three days there very enjoyable. Superb value for money.

The property was exactly as described and in the photographs. It is in a great place for exploring Northumberland, especially Hadrian's Wall and the Roman sites. Haltwhistle is a lovely little town with friendly people and good facilities. Very good value for money.

“The accommodation was really ...”

The accommodation was really comfortable, a huge squashy leather settee and a leather rocker that we seriously wanted to bring home with us. The bed was comfortable too and the shower efficient. We cooked in every evening bar one and the kitchen had everything we needed. Haltwhistle itself is a charming little market town and we quickly found great walks for to go on with our dog.

“A home from home.”

I can't recommend this little place enough. It's in a great spot in the middle of the town. A couple of good pubs close by, and a sainsburys within 2 mins walk. The owners very kindly left a bottle of wine and some chocolate which was a very nice touch. The apartment was immaculate and had everything needed for a short or long stay. We hope to return. ( ps there is a observatory close by that we didn't know about so it would be worthwhile booking that in advance as we couldn't get tickets when we turned up).

“Beautifully decorated and furnished.”

This is a lovely place for a couple to stay. It makes a great base for a touring holiday in Northumberland. In walking distant of Hadrian's Wall. The inside is done to a very high standard and is comfortable. There's plenty of shops, cafes and pubs in the village. The only downside is that it's on a main road but that didn't detract from our enjoyment of our holiday in any way.

“Ideally located and really comfortable”

Stayed here for a week in June. The apartment is centrally located in Haltwhistle with eating establishments, pubs and shops nearby. The flat is beautifully furnished and really comfortable with every possible amenity you could require. Really loved the sofa with the electrically operated footrest, great for relaxing after a long day out. The information provided by the owners on the locality is excellent. They have even returned, at no cost to ourselves, something that my wife left behind. Highly recommended for comfort and location

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!
