Shepherds Retreat, situated on the foundations of Hadrian's Wall and set in wonderful open countryside provides a welcoming, warm and friendly place to stay. The traditional stone built property is attached to the 18th Century Farmhouse and was originally an outbuilding. We renovated the building in 2007 and transformed it into the contemporary property you see today, retaining a lot of the original features.

Set in the heart of Hadrian's Wall Country and Northumberland National Park;home to England's cleanest rivers, clearest air and darkest skies, the property has everything you need for a perfect break.

There are two well sized double bedded bedrooms, which incorporate some of the original features, such as roof beams and stone walls. Each bedroom has ensuite shower facilities.

The lounge is light and airy. The kitchen is fully equipped with an upright fridge / freezer, electric double oven, washing machine, dishwasher and a microwave.

If you are looking for a relaxing or active break at any time of the year in England's Border Country, Shepherds Retreat is ideally situated to meet your needs. We will make you very welcome and ensure your stay is memorable.

    Great short stay at the Shepherds Retreat. Just my daughter and I and we had tons of space with very comfortable beds. It’s quite close to the road but you never notice once you’re inside. It is right in the heart of Hadrian’s Wall country and what a treat to be able to head just a few minutes down the road and be at Vindolanda, amazing.The owners left a lovely cake for us, which my daughter enjoyed (I’m gf so I was a bit jealous but appreciated the kindness). Being able to do a load of laundry was a great bonus at that point in our adventure. And I appreciated the instruction manuals- very helpful.The kitchen is well stocked for cooking but there are good dining options in the area, we really enjoyed the County Motel in Hexham. Check in and out were by the instructions provided. I’d libe to come back sometime to explore more of the wall.

    This is a lovely quiet place to stay, away from any disturbances. The welcome homemade lemon drizzle cake was very welcome and a nice touch. Beautiful scenery during the day and very dark skies at night for stargazing

    This is an excellent place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. The hosts left such nice welcoming items, including a delicious lemon cake which was much appreciated. The views out the back are amazing. The bedrooms were so beautiful, with their old beams and stonework. Really a favorite. Looking forward to returning.

    A lovely cottage with tremendous views, and a great location to visit the sites along Hadrian's Wall. The bed was comfortable and the linen and towels were good quality. The kitchen was very well equipped and the place was spotlessly clean. And the flowers and home made cake were a super touch.

    This is a beautiful place to stay. Kevin & Leah are amazing hosts and can’t do enough for you. Lots of special little touches - a fantastic cake & very much appreciated welcome pack greeted us when we checked in. Everything you could possible need is all available and at the highest standard. The views are amazing and make you totally relax. We strongly recommend Carraw and can’t wait to go back and stay.

    We booked the cottage for a long weekend, whilst attending a national cycling event near Hexham. The cottage was perfect for our group of three adults, providing us with two double bedrooms, both with ensuite facilities. The cottage was clean, warm and well equipped for our stay and the location was fantastic for walks on Hadrians Wall and only a fifteen minute drive to Hexham. The owner was very accommodating to our needs and generously provided a welcome pack of essentials plus a homemade cake. The owner's website also had a lot of useful information. We would certainly recommend Shepherd's Retreat to anyone visiting the area.

    Shepherd’s Retreat was a beautiful place to base ourselves for exploring the local area. We immediately felt at home - the cottage was very clean and comfortable and there was even a lovely cake waiting for us in the kitchen. Leah was very helpful , offering us advice about the best ways to explore around and about and even thinking to knock on the door when the Northern Lights made an appearance - an added bonus during the week. We needed more time to see this stunning part of the country and would love to visit again.
