We loved staying here, really well appointed, excellent standard and very comfortable. The cottage is in a great location to see Hadrians Wall. The views were staggering. We will definitely be back. Lemon Drizzle cake was delicious thank you Leah.

Shepherd’s Retreat at Carraw is the perfect place to stay when visiting Northumberland. A home from home on Hadrian’s Wall with spectacular views, really well equipped and with welcoming hosts on site. One of the best holidays we have ever had in the UK.

The cottage was very comfortable and perfect for a family of 4! The children were very happy as there were games to play with and hens coming to say hello in front of the window in the morning.
Very nice view on the countryside!
Very big English breakfast.
We appreciated the flexibility to check out 30min later on Sunday.

A great stay and lovely gift pack of goodies to welcome us. The bedrooms are especially comfortable - a very good night's sleep.

We found the Shepherds Retreat all we wanted - very clean and comfortable, with a high standard of furnishing and decor and kitchen. It was lovely and the lemon drizzle cake Leak left for us was delicious. We really felt they had the comforts of the visitor in mind.The location on Hadrian's Wall near Vindolanda and Housesteads and not far from Hexham was good. The views from the cottage and patio were stunning. All in all a great choice. Thank you!

Cottage in beautiful position, although close to a sometimes busy road. Easy walking directly from it onto Hadrian's Wall and surrounding country. Cottage quite small and eating area a bit cramped. Fine for two people for a week though. Nice sitting out area facing south - where we enjoyed watching the multi-coloured chickens (we were blessed with near perfect weather. Lovely touches like real plants inside and clustered around the front door and flowers on the table to welcome us. Bed a bit hard for me but I have chronic back problems. Facilities good - ensuite bathrooms and kitchen. Library of local leaflets and books very good. Many interesting places/walks within easy reach to visit. Electric car recharging point worked well once we all worked out how to do it!
