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.
This lovely house was such a good find for our weekend away with family and friends - all rooms with own bathrooms and the spacious layout was perfect for 10 people. Well equipped with everything we needed and more. The views across the countryside are lovely - we didn’t want to leave! Our welcome hamper of treats was a lovely touch too.
A lovely cottage with tremendous views, and a great location to visit the sites along Hadrian's Wall. The bed was comfortable and the linen and towels were good quality. The kitchen was very well equipped and the place was spotlessly clean. And the flowers and home made cake were a super touch.
