• "A fantastic find."

  The immediate local area is well served with pubs, shops and eateries. Really friendly and helpful host and locals. It is a place that is ideally situated for walking. We never needed to use our car once all week. The cottage is within rambling distance of Hadrian's Wall and a host of other destinations. The property provides a range of walking guides including 22 local routes detailed in the Haltwhistle Rings series of pamphlets. There is fantastic year round public transport provision (AD 122 bus up and down to all points on the wall) including a well served railway station on the Carlisle to Newcastle line. The cosy cottage is set back from the road and is therefore quiet and secluded, with a small front garden and drive. To the rear of the property is a sheltered terrace overlooking the owners well tended and enclosed garden. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. This is attested to by the many repeat customers detailed in the visitor's book.

• "Dear Sue and Nick."

  Many thanks for your warm welcome and exceptional hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay in your super cosy cottage, which was a real home from home. Also thanks for your tip regarding the concert at Wallington. Really enjoyed it and it was lovely to see Nick in his element. Should any of our friends and family want to travel to Northumberland in the future we will gladly recommend your place. For now take care until we might meet again. Pascal and Claudia

  Thank you so much for your lovely review of Crescent Cottage, I am so pleased you had such an enjoyable holiday. Nick was delighted you went to Wallington and enjoyed hearing the Northumbrian pipes. Thank you also for your recommendation to friends. We shall be delighted to see you (or them) again sometime. With very best wishes. Sue. Property Owner

• "This is a delightful cottage, well equipped, warm and spacious."

  The location was excellent for our needs - digging at Magna and enjoying the shops and walks round the friendly town of Haltwhistle. Such a warm welcome with flowers, lovely scones, cream and home-made jam. The view into the enclosed garden from the kitchen and terrace was a constant pleasure. We plan to return.

• "Crescent Cottage was comfortable and well equipped with everything in good working order."

  I particularly appreciated the easy parking and access to the garage for my bicycle. The cottage was very quiet but is in the town centre with Sainsbury’s about 4 minutes walk away. The town is well connected with bus services east and west and a surprisingly frequent service in both directions from the railway station. With nearby Hadrian’s wall and pleasant countryside Haltwhistle is great holiday destination. I would definitely recommend.

  The cottage is a great set up, comfortable bedrooms large living room. Kitchen with fine garden area that was beautiful. Susan was a wonderful host. Train connections were very good. Haltwhistle is a great spot, pubs, grocery, a few shops and wonderful scenery out the door. If we are heading back to Hadrian's Wall we know where we will stay.

  A warm and welcoming home from home, we lacked for nothing. We especially enjoyed the fresh scones and a hot drink after our long journey. Sue and Nick were available should the need arise both for conversation and suggestions. It’s a great base for visiting many places; a walk along the burn is a must!

• "We can only agree with all the excellent reviews, which are fully justified."

  The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and clean. The wifi is good There is an attractive sitting out area. Parking is easy. The "upside down" layout works very well. The cottage is very close to the town centre, but at the same time very quiet and private. Haltwhistle is at the centre of beautiful countryside and other attractions, including of course the best sections of Hadrian's Wall, and with good roads in all directions

• "We didn't really know what to expect from the property described as an upside down house."

  It sounded interesting and it didn't disappoint. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable and very well appointed. There was nothing that we thought would have been nice to have but didn't and in fact I had taken several things I didn't need as they were provided. Sue and Nick were excellent hosts. They live next door and so are on hand to help with any problems (though we didn't have any). They are very friendly and willing to help with advice if asked but also give guests the space to enjoy their holiday. Haltwhistle is a great little town with a lot of amenities for its size and good rail and bus links. Its an excellent base for walking or exploring Hadrian's Wall territory. My husband was excavating at Vindolanda and the location of the cottage was perfect for this.

  The little touches like dishwasher tablets and hand wash provided, and the cake to welcome us were really helpful. The location is perfect for walking the Hadrian's Wall path and seeing the best of the Roman remains as well as other general visiting this lovely area. We loved our week: thank you!

  Such a delightful place, everything was spick and span. The kitchen was very well equipped, nice to have more than the basics, all quality crocks and lots of them. Sitting out on the patio was lovely, overlooking the owners beautiful garden, full of bird song. Haltwhistle is a nice regenerated, friendly town, good places to eat and buy food supplies. A great location for touring Hadrians Wall and the surrounding stunning Northumberland countryside. Buses were great too, so no need to drive all the time.

  The buildings’s upside-down layout is spacious and extremely comfortable. The hosts could not be more welcoming or accommodating. Haltwhistle may well be the Centre of Britain it’s certainly at the heart of this region and its many attractions. We walked the South Tyne Trail to the elegant Lambley Viaduct, and even managed several miles of a rain-lashed Hadrian’s Wall. Allen Banks, Bewcastle and Lanercost Priory also recommended.

Although the property is in the centre of Haltwhistle is is on a very quite side street yet conveniently close to all the ammenities that Haltwhistle offers.
