We have spectacular views over the South Tyne valley towards both the Pennines and Hadrian’s Wall and are only a mile away from the South Tyne Trail and Lambley Viaduct (a fantastic cycle route).

Lovely snug cottage close to Hadrian's Wall

We had a wonderful time exploring the Wall and coming home to dry out and warm up by the wood stove in the cottage.

A lovely stay

A group of friends stayed here over the Easter weekend, a charming, cosy cottage in a beautiful location. We were able to do some great walks. The cottage has all you need for a short stay. Amazing value for money.

A lovely, homely little cottage in a perfect setting

My sister and I had four nights there. Very comfortable cottage. Great for touring the area - beautiful rivers and moorland, Hadrian's Wall and the lovely little town of Haltwhistle.

Very cosy cottage - clean and comfortable with beautiful views.

We arrived on a freezing night as it was snowing - the fire was lit and the cottage toasty warm with delicious homemade shortbread and some milk kindly left for us.

A most comfortable and relaxing stay in an idyllic area

Knowing the owner was next door but left us in peace to enjoy our holiday. Lovely welcome items left for us. Beautifully clean. Everything we could have wanted. We all had very good nights sleep in the peace and quiet

We had a great stay in this spotlessly clean and comfortable cottage.

The cottage was very comfortable, really well equipped and conveniently close to Hadrian's Wall points of interest. We were very cosy with a generous supply of wood and fuel. It was a bonus that each bedroom had its own en-suite and the views from the cottage were lovely. Dorothy and Alan were friendly and helpful hosts, there were beautiful flowers and glorious shortbread in the living room on our arrival.

Cosy short break

Had a lovely two night short break to visit some Roman Britain sites and Hillis Close Farm Cottage was the ideal base for our stay. Plenty of space for all of us in the cottage (3 adults and 2 children) and it was very well equipped with comfortable beds. Very handy that each bedroom had an en-suite! We would definitely return!

Just the getaway we were hoping for!

Comfortable, cosy, relaxing...Loved being able to have fire going full time with no worries about fuel. Walking from the doorstep and relaxing by fire was what we wanted, and enjoyed. In better weather we would have enjoyed sitting out in the garden. Made to feel welcome, yet private.

Great Hosts, Wonderful Accommodation, Fab Location

The accommodation was ideal for two couples. The cottage was extremely comfortable and immaculately presented. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to visit Hadrian's wall and its many attractions. Our hostess, Dorothy, left us delicious shortbread, eggs, milk etc. She was also extremely helpful in pointing us towards a local walk. I would highly recommend this accommodation and we will certainly be back.

Fabulous!

Stayed 3 nights as a family with children aged 13,11 and 13 months. Cottage was absolutely lovely, a perfect retreat after busy days out. Location is perfect for many local attractions. Definitely recommend a visit to vindaloda!!! Lovely owners. We arrived to a roaring lit fire, fresh eggs and milk. Would love to return again.

Perfect for Hadrian’s Wall

A wonderful cottage in the beautiful countryside below Haltwhistle, perfectly located for visiting Hadrian’s Wall, Vindolanda, the Roman Army Museum and the forts either side. Dorothy and her husband are lovely and live next door on their 45 acre farm, which has beautiful cows and chickens. Peaceful, beautiful and a great place to stay. (Dorothy’s shortbread left, as a welcome gift, was to die for! The eggs were pretty great too..)

Amazing Weekend Break

The accommodation was immaculately clean, there was a log fire on the go for when we arrived along with full brew kit, some homemade shortbread (which didn’t last very long, it was gorgeous) and a bottle of wine. The owners were there to welcome us and give us any info we needed and were always on hand if we needed anything (which we didn’t). The location is amazing if you are just after some peace and quiet and lively views. Can not recommend enough.

Home from Home the 3rd time

We love coming to this cottage. We see it as our place to rest, relax and recharge. The cottage is cosy and we enjoyed the multifuel stove particularly on the colder and windier days. This time we stayed between Christmas and over New Year, there were some lovely touches - the small christmas tree and decorations gave it such a lovely warm feeling. We were able to get out and enjoy some nearby walks and some geocaching. Dorothy and Allan are great hosts, present but not intrusive.

gemütliches kleines Cottage in der Nähe von römischen Ausgrabungen

Sehr klein, aber ausreichend für einen kurzen Urlaub. Sehr hübsch eingerichtet. Sauber. Hat eine Zentralheizung, zwei elektrische mobile Heizkörper und eine Feuerstelle. Es kann schnell kühl werden. Sehr nette Vermieter. Super gelegen, wenn man zum Hadrians Wall und den römischen Ausgrabungen möchte. Nur mit Auto zu empfehlen, die öffentliche Anbindung ist nicht so gut.
