Ald White Craig Farm

I visited Haltwhistle to learn more about Hadrian’s Wall. Ald White Craig Farm is perfectly located between Haltwhistle and Hadrian’s Wall. Sue, the owner, was so helpful as to pick me up from the train station and show me around the farm cottage. She also drove me back to the train station when my trip had ended. She is a wonderful host. I had the entire cottage to myself as I was a solo traveler. The two-story cottage had a full kitchen, living room, a bathroom upstairs and several bedrooms. I felt safe and slept well each night. I also got some much-needed exercise by walking back and forth from the cottage to Haltwhistle for food and groceries. The walk from Haltwhistle to the cottage is mostly uphill but has incredible views. The cottage is also an easy walk to Hadrian’s wall. I had such a peaceful stay. I wish I was there now.

We have just had a fantastic stay at the cottages. Myself and three children and my mother and dog went. The cottage accommodated us all. The children loved getting to go out in the morning and feed the animals. The surroundings are beautiful and the rooms were lovely and clean and tidy. The beds were so comfortable, we all had a great nights sleep. Sue and Dave are a lovely couple, very helpful and kind and make you feel at home. We will definitely be going back.

Had the pleasure of staying here 15th August 2022. The hosts Susan and Dave are two of the loveliest people you will ever meet, both warm, welcoming and helpful. I was in the area to do the Hadrian’s wall walk and had to go to the accommodation early due to not being able to continue with the walk after getting some nasty blisters! I arrived at our cottage very early but Susan allowed me in to put my feet up and rest while she continued to clean. Later on Dave gave me a lift down to the pub down the road to meet the people I was supposed to be walking with so that I didn’t have to make the journey myself. Later in the evening I needed to go to the local pharmacy because my blisters were showing signs of infection and Susan kindly took me and my partner, as it turned out I ended up going to hospital in Hexham and Dave then made the 25-30 minute trip and waited nearly an hour to collect us, instead of taking any payment from us they just said to donate the money we would of given them to the charity we were raising funds for by doing the walk. They are both amazing and I can’t thank them enough for what they did! … The cottage itself is a real home from home. Comfy, cosy and has all the facilities you could need! The farm has an array of animals that they are happy for you to go see and feed with them if you choose … can’t recommend this place enough!
