Shepherds Retreat, situated on the foundations of Hadrian's Wall and set in wonderful open countryside provides a welcoming, warm and friendly place to stay. The traditional stone built property is attached to the 18th Century Farmhouse and was originally an outbuilding. We renovated the building in 2007 and transformed it into the contemporary property you see today, retaining a lot of the original features.
Set in the heart of Hadrian's Wall Country and Northumberland National Park; home to England's cleanest rivers, clearest air and darkest skies, the property has everything you need for a perfect break.
There are two well sized double bedded bedrooms, which incorporate some of the original features, such as roof beams and stone walls. Each bedroom has ensuite shower facilities.
The lounge is light and airy. The kitchen is fully equipped with an upright fridge / freezer, electric double oven, washing machine, dishwasher and a microwave.
If you are looking for a relaxing or active break at any time of the year in England's Border Country, Shepherds Retreat is ideally situated to meet your needs. We will make you very welcome and ensure your stay is memorable.

Excellent location and spacious property
Perfect for walking Hadrians Wall - it’s pretty much on it!! Places to eat are easy to drive but nothing close enough to walk. There’s a convenience store near the Red Lion at Newbrough. The place is clean and comfortable for 2 people. Owners live next door and are happy to help if needed

Comfort and luxury!
Upon opening the front door we felt embraced by warmth and comfort, and a very warm welcome to Shepherds Retreat at Carraw Farm.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the sitting room very comfortable, and the ensuite bedrooms luxurious and also well equipped.
We would definitely recommend this as it is on the AD122 bus route which makes most of Hadrians Wall accessible.

Great location for visiting Hadrian’s Wall
Shepherd’s Retreat is in a wonderful location for visiting Hadrian’s Wall and the Roman forts of Vindolanda and Housesteads. The views from the house are beautiful and the house is small but comfortable and in a very peaceful location. The kitchen is well stocked and the owners leave some nice welcome items to greet you. The information given to you in advance is very detailed and helpful.

Truly relaxing and comfortable stay at the Shepherd’s Retreat
Our 3 night stay was perfect in every way. Leah and Kevin had thought of everything guests would need and more. The basket of locally produced goodies and the homemade cake made us feel so welcome. We were lucky with warm and sunny weather, so we enjoyed our tea and cake in the garden. There is a wealth of local guides and maps and a good range of dvds. We wholeheartedly recommend the Shepherd’s Retreat.

Comfortable cottage in great location
We booked the cottage for a long weekend, whilst attending a national cycling event near Hexham. The cottage was perfect for our group of three adults, providing us with two double bedrooms, both with ensuite facilities. The cottage was clean, warm and well equipped for our stay and the location was fantastic for walks on Hadrians Wall and only a fifteen minute drive to Hexham. The owner was very accommodating to our needs and generously provided a welcome pack of essentials plus a homemade cake. The owner's website also had a lot of useful information. We would certainly recommend Shepherd's Retreat to anyone visiting the area.
