We had a lovely stay at Shaftoes Guest House. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious and well appointed with many nice touches. Breakfast was delicious. Lois was an excellent source for local information and suggestions. Exceptional!
Guests were made to feel like family, with such friendly hosts. Always there to offer tips and advice for visits to local attractions in the area. An excellent breakfast always set up our day.
We stayed here for 1 nt whilst attending a wedding nearby. We loved this place.
The room was spacious, clean and plenty of amenities.
The breakfast was outstanding!!!! Pancakes and US style bacon with syrup, rivals the best that the US has to offer.
If your considering staying here for any reason at all - you won't regret it.
If you're travelling from the US (or anywhere overseas) and doing Hadrian's wall this is a beautiful accomodation that will be a highlight of your visit.
I highly recommend you try Shaftoe's, it will provide the perfect stay.
The owners welcome you from the moment you arrive. It is exceptionally clean and the room we had was spacious. Breakfast is tailored to your requests . The owner was extremely helpful in notifying us of traffic issues around the area due to a lorry fire on the A69 and how best to avoid it. The property is in a quiet area with very little passing traffic.
Fantastic location, easy drive to Roman sites, and a short walk to the train station. Breakfast cooked to order was delicious and a nice variety. Room was larger than typical and a friendly greeting each morning. Highly recommended.
Lovely friendly host who made us so welcome, even giving us a little flask of fresh milk to fill our thermoses with coffee for the next day for our travels. We will return.
Lovely b & b, really warm and friendly welcome with a lovely brew on arrival. Room lovely and clean with every thing you need a real home from home, topped off with an excellent breakfast. Will defo be back
Everything you would want from a B&B - a warm welcome from Lois - including a cup of tea - lovely clean and well appointed room and ensuite and a great breakfast selection prepared by David. A good base from which to explore Northumberland.
Lois and David are very hospitable and Lois made us feel very welcome when we arrived. There is a real cosy feel to Shaftoes. The room and common area for the guests are very clean and Lois has some great ideas for making your stay more comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, the bed was comfortable and there was a good shower. We used Shaftoes as a base to drive to Hadrians Wall and Vindolanda. We would not hesitate to stay again when in the area. Thank you!
Lois and Dave are fantastic friendly people with great knowledge of the local area. They went above and beyond to make may stay a great experience. I highly recommend this lodging.
We really enjoyed our one night stay here, the b&b is great it was clean comfortable and they had thought of everything. The owners are lovely. The location is perfect and they have parking spaces for your car. Lovely breakfast too. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely return. The village itself is also beautiful with lovely views and walks and places to eat and drink.
We easily found the property and were given a personal tour and a lovely pot of tea. We slept well and had a scrumptious breakfast every morning. Dining was a quick walk into town and very nice as well.
