My husband, brother and sister in law and myself returned home yesterday from a very memorable 2 night stay with Elaine at the Hill on the Wall. Although we haven't visited for a couple of years, this was the 4th stay for my husband and I and it was as perfect as ever. The beautifully-furnished rooms,attention to detail, breakfasts and...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "The Hill". The scenery is spectacular and Ian and Elaine are very friendly and can give you good tips where to go. The packed lunches were superb. The bedrooms have perfect views, and the rooms are extremely comfortable. I can really recommend this B&B and hope to be able to go back there very... More

An outstanding experience. Wonder when I can go and stay here again. From the welcome with tea or coffee and also choice of cake to the room and then an enormous breakfast there is not as far as I am concerned a better B & B in the land and believe me I have stayed in a few.

Stayed at the Hill on the Wall for 2 nights over the Easter break. The accommodation is outstanding. Our bedroom (Caligula's Chamber!) was superbly appointed and the bathroom was spacious and very well equipped. We were made very welcome on arrival and the breakfasts were possibly the best we've ever had staying B & B. Elaine and Ian were friendly... More

We stayed at the Hill on the Wall whilst hiking along the national trail in March 2013 (in the snow). Ian and Elaine were so friendly and welcoming and although we only stayed for one night it really did feel like a home from home. The initial welcome from Ian was great, room was spacious and VERY well equipped and... More

From the welcoming tea and cake to the fantastic full month breakfast, Elaine made us feel at home. The room was comfortable with tremendous views across to Hadrian's Wall. Dinner isn't served on the premises but she recommended another bed and breakfast down the road which served a hearty meal. The location is ideal for walkers who are tackling the... More

Both times I've stayed with Elaine I had a truly wonderful time, I couldn't ask for a better stay. Stunning views and beautifully furnished rooms, A very good breakfast with lots of choice and Elaine herself makes you feel completely at home and couldn't be more generous. Highly recommend staying here.

I've been involved in touring theatre for around thirty years and have stayed in hundreds of B and Bs and hotels, and I can say unreservedly that this is one of the very best. From the moment you enter the place, Elaine makes you feel like family - serving tea and cake (and even a bottle of wine the last... More

Elaine's stunning home cannot be bettered. We wished to visit the area including Hadrian's Wall and were not disappointed. We were the only guests at the end of the season and stayed in Caligula's Chamber on Sunday 4th November. We were spoilt from the moment of arrival until departure. Every item of furniture was of the highest quality; comfort was... More
