"We had a lovely stay at the Old Schoolhouse. Our room and bathroom were spacious. Our hosts had homemade treats for us each day (an oatmeal raisin cookie our first day and a piece of spice cake the next). Our breakfast was at a large table with the other guests. We loved talking to them, several of whom were walking the length of Hadrian's wall. The breakfast itself was delicious and generous. We would absolutely stay here again."

Room was clean and tidy on arrival
Staff went above and beyond very helpful nothing was to much
Breakfast was amazing lots of choice whatever your taste and all the food that came out looked good liked the fact juice and pasties where available as well as tea/ coffee and toast.
We took our dog and again the staff order water and happily gave him a sausage for his breakfast.
A lovely hotel in centre of Britain definitely worth a stop over

Everything in Shaftoes have been done to a very high standard. Dave could not have done more to make our stay better. Recommends eating places, booked a table and sorted out a menu for us that suited our taste. Verry good knowledge of local places to visit.

Great castle with lots of history, we did the castle tour that they do every morning which we thought was a lovely touch.

Lived like a Lord of the Manor for 3 days. I grew to love the place and friendly service. A nice relaxing break together with really good food in Library Restaurant. Well worth the extra cost.

Despite the wet and windy conditions we really enjoyed our stay and managed to get around to our favourite spots. Steve & Julie provided a lovely starter pack to see us over the first 24 hours. Cottage is superb, with all the amenities you would expect at home. Would recommend it as a base to tour the countryside.
