About this property

Shepherds Retreat - Self catering accommodation sleeping 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

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.

Beautiful cottage

We had a lovely stay at the Shepherds retreat for the bank holiday weekend. The location is surprisingly quiet but there are plenty of places to eat only a short drive away. The views are incredible and the cottage is on the Hadrians wall walk. We were very grateful for the welcome hamper and the farmhouse breakfast. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

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.

Wonderful property with views close to Hadrian's wall

The cottage is a cosy annexe to the main house and has everything you could need. The owners live right next door and are excellent hosts, with home-made cake waiting for me on arrival. I'd travelled to the Northumberland coast for a wedding and stopped here on my way back south. It makes an excellent base for seeing parts of Hadrian's wall, as well as Hexham. With chickens (and a solitary rabbit) in the garden and lambs in the field, it makes a great place to chill with a book after a day of sightseeing/walking. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful place, perfect location

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.

A great place to stay

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.
