Walking Hadrian's Wall in wet cold weather this bed and breakfast really lifted our spirits. Lovely welcome, with real coffee/tea and cakes. Rooms spacious and spotlessly clean. We were in Flavior's Folly on the ground floor. Lots of extras, soft towels, slippers and chocolate, Situated out of village, we made the mistake of walking through Gilsland instead of leaving the...

When you treated by Elaine into a very welcoming B & B, tea, scones and cake are waiting, you are killed with kindness. this is the second time we have stayed with Elaine and being in many B & B's this one should be the benchmark for the all. without a doubt the best we have stayed in.

This was our second visit to the Hill on the Wall which is a charming house in a beautiful rural landscape. We opted for Caligula's Chamber once again. The view from the window-seat is stunning. The provisions in the en suite facilities were exceptional. The breakfast menu was varied and the quality of the food superb. The plum jam was... More

Stayed for two nights. We were needing to be on the road after the first night by 04:30. Cereal would have been enough, but no, we had tea and toast provided at 04:00. On the second morning, a cracking full breakfast, plus the usual additions. Rooms were ideal, even though I'm too tall for normal beds, but that is my... More

we do not usually use B&B's but wanted to be within walking distance of Hadrians wall. Arrived a bit early but Elaine was a great host. She drove us down to the roman fort so that we could walk the wall and make a loop back to the B&B. By the time we got back she had made reservations for... More

We have just come back from a two night stay at Hill on the Wall. Elaine made us both extremely welcome in her lovely home. Our room - Caligula's Chamber - was perfect - comfortable, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, with a huge shower and wonderful views over Hadrian's Wall. Breakfast was fabulous - especially the porridge! Ian was attentive, friendly... More

Stayed for one night on this amazing B&B - the owner is a lovely lady who greets you with a smile and welcome that starts the experience. The accommodation is beautifully furnished, tastefully decorated and our double room was absolutely excellent. Small extra touches, such as chocolates, herbal tea and quality bathroom products set the place above most others. The... More

An outstanding b&b, one of the best [of very many] we have stayed in. Outstanding cleanliness and astonishing attendance to detail with the highest quality of fittings and facilities. On top of this a fascinatingly furnished house of great character. Elaine herself was wonderfully attentive to our needs and a fount of fascinating information both local and general. We would...

Two very pleasant nights in a quiet but stunning rural location. Accommodation was to a very high standard which was equalled by the warmth of the reception and attention throughout. Breakfast was truly wonderful and we would go back. Easy to find, ample parking and within walking distance of the village not to mention Harian's Wall. We recommend a visit. More

My girlfriend and I could unfortunately only stay for the one night but we found this place to be fantastic. The location is just at the end of the town so away from any noise and the views from our bedroom were superb. It was tempting to skip breakfast and just sit drinking coffee and staring out over fields to... More
