t can be difficult to provide a useful review when previous guests have used all available superlatives. The Old Schoolhouse is why one stays at a B & B instead of a hotel or self-catering accommodation: pleasant interactions with one’s fellow beings. The proprietors, Ian and Kate, are charming and thoughtful. They make you feel at home and offer courtesies such as transportation and laundry facilities. During my stay, guests were from around the world. They provided a friendly, informative addition to extraordinary breakfasts—the menu for which is broad and varied, with the border breakfast (full English breakfast with haggis) available every day. In the evening, you come back to a serving of dessert in your room. The rooms are spotless and have all needed amenities. If you don’t want to spend time in the room, there’s a central sitting area that feels like a cozy library. The place is quiet, but only a short walk from a grocery and the town’s main square. It’s also close to the Haltwhistle Burn Footpath, which provides a lovely setting for a stroll. There is a parking area on site. For all you receive, the Old Schoolhouse is an exceptional value.
