Shaftoe's Bed and Breakfast

Great traditional BnB! We were very warmly welcomed by Lois. Love the chill out area. Also thoughtful touches in the bathroom like makeup remover pads. Really appreciated that there were two chairs in the room. Also…and I wish everywhere did this…simplified wifi code instead of a long string of numbers and letters! Lovely freshly cooked breakfast, chilled water and cordials available and a fridge for guests’ use. All at a great price. This is a fantastic place to stay and I thoroughly recommend it.

Just returned from a two night stay at Shaftoes - very relaxing stay - wonderful hosts Lois and Dave - lovely large twin bedded room - very comfy beds - great choice for breakfast - the guest house is idealy situated to explore the Northumberland attractions with the local railway station also being within an easy walk. Will definitely return !

Beautiful B&B situated on the South Side of the River Tyne in Haydon Bridge run by Lois and David. Ideally placed for all the Roman Sites nearby as well as easy access to Hexham,Corbridge,Newcastle and Carlisle. The guest house rooms are very comfortable with all the amenities you would expect from a high quality establishment. Breakfast are amazing with numerous choices all of which taste great. All in all i would recommend Shaftoe's for a great stay. If you need local info Lois knows it all. PS Bog Cart Inn 3 miles away near Langley does fab food. Try there speciality Bog Pie. So good i had it 3 times!!!.

We based ourselves at Shaftoes for 3 nights - for us it was really convenient for visiting Vindolanda, Hadrian's Wall, and Durham Cathedral. The Guest House is spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. The hosts, Lois and David, are so welcoming and informative, it felt like family. Breakfast was top quality produce, cooked to order - truly delicious. Would highly recommend Shaftoes and not hesitate to stay again if ever we're in the area.

Wonderful hosts who are so helpful and friendly. The rooms are exceptionally clean and the property located in a quiet area with little passing traffic. Breakfast tailored to your specific request and is delicious. We will be back , for sure.

Can't fault it - from the warm welcome to the fond farewell this is a brilliant B&B. Having shown us to our spacious, comfortable & spotless room Lois brought us a tray with tea & coffee. We had great recommendations for eating out & felt nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was as good as it gets; parking is outside the front door (security camera); location is perfect for exploring the area; lots of nice touches indoors for extra comfort (eg fridge, lounge, games, etc.) It was our first visit but won't be our last because we won't find anything better.
