Had our family reunion at this idyllic Vesta View and Shepherd's Retreat near Humshaugh. Location perfect surrounded by chickens, sheep, lambs and cows ... The house was ideal and catered for my brother in a wheelchair. Beds so comfortable and the welcome hampers were so very welcome as we'd forgot the milk! Did the sycamore gap trail - a bit late to see the tree. Went to Beamish museum, vindalanda , The Sill and the star gazing at Twice Brewed - meal in the pub, then a presentation on the universe , unfortunately didn't get to see the stars as it rained - but still worth it.
A beautiful house with a lovely vista. The house is very accessible, with a good garden space, we did enjoy the company of the chickens! It has very comfortable beds and furnishings with adequate capacity for our family of 9. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cutlery. The region is perfect for exploring Roman archaeology or just walking in a beautiful landscape. As a far scattered family, Vesta View was the perfect place to come together for a long weekend.
This is a beautiful place to stay. Kevin & Leah are amazing hosts and can’t do enough for you. Lots of special little touches - a fantastic cake & very much appreciated welcome pack greeted us when we checked in. Everything you could possible need is all available and at the highest standard. The views are amazing and make you totally relax. We strongly recommend Carraw and can’t wait to go back and stay.
