Detailed Reviews
Les saved me on the Wall Trail. In Sept. 2022, without any prior reservations, I came to the UK and hiked the Wall. Even when everyone said, "Don't". I fly by the seat of my pants.
I would have been sleeping on the ground, but Les answered his phone and took me in for two nights. I will always be grateful.
The Old Repeater Station is historic, storied and offers basic, clean lodging, good food and drink with eclectic guests and Les holds court as host extraordinaire. Les is a quick wit with a sharp tongue. He loves to spar, but be gentle because he has a heart of gold.
I would have stayed longer but I had to move on to The George. Even though I didn't get a ride in the Ferrari, I will always remember The Old Repeater Station. Thank You Les.

Stayed two nights, a base for exploring further afield as well as locally. Great location with lovely views. Our room was cosy with a good size shower room. A kettle with a good selection of tea/coffee in the room. Everything you require in a room is provided, hairdryer, selection of shower gels etc. There’s a place to dry wet coats and leave boots. On site parking. Breakfast was delicious, Full English or continental, with as much toast as you want. A great selection of cereal, fruit and yoghurts, fresh juice. Les is the perfect host, nothing is too much trouble. Our dog was made most welcome. We had a great time.

Everywhere I stayed while walking Hadrians Wall was great. Old Repeater Station was the most memorable. I was the only guest and the host Les treated me like a visiting friend. As soon as I arrived he provided tea and biscuits in the garden, followed by tour of the beautiful self-catering accommodation he had just finished. Then he showed me to my upstairs ensuite room where I had a nice shower before dinner. He made me a delicious sandwich and we watched a sweet and funny Australian movie. The following morning he provided a great cooked breakfast and then showed me the way back to Hadrians Wall. I feel lucky that I got to stay in such a unique place. Thank you for making me feel so welcome Les.

We spent one night here in 2 rooms. My room was cramped and filthy. The shower was mouldy, the blinds filthy and in need of replacement, there were milk and coffee stains down the front of the drawers. The walls of the shower had been “cleaned” using a dirty cloth. The room doors would not close, never mind lock! The lounge was cluttered . The owner, Les, was helpful with local information but had clearly lost the plot about acceptable accommodation. He supplied hand sanitiser at the front door - I wanted to use it on the way out!!!

Les at The Old Repeater Station offers great food and is licencd for drink too. Comfortable and clean, the accommodation is great. But the real added value is Les the Host who is charm and wit and local knowledge all wrapped up to welcome you. Best breakfast of the week so far - and his evening meal was champion. This is a B&B Plus. And thanks for finding the dog whistle ! A n T n Alfie

We had a warm welcome from Les our host, at this former telecomms station. It's a comfortable, quirky B&B, full of books and interesting objects, including a large train set layout! Our twin room at the top was warm and light, though a bit cramped for the 2 of us and luggage. The ensuite was good, toiletries and hair dryer provided.
We'd pre-booked dinner and enjoyed a delicious meal, with alcoholic drinks available. Les is an entertaining host with his funny stories. Breakfast was also good, with fresh fruit and freshly cooked by Les.

I am a solo female traveller (with my dog) and stayed overnight- from the moment we arrived soaked when Les opened up the fire and gave me a chair pulled up to the fire to dry out and a cup of much needed tea followed by wine loads of chatter and a good meal I felt completely at home. Breakfast great and comfy room. Couldn’t fault it. If I do this walk again I would have no hesitation about staying here and having a catch up with Les

The Old Repeater Station is an historic building in its own light. It is enhanced by its' owner and host Les. After an arduous days walking I was warmly welcomed and instantly felt 'at home'. A few beers later and I enjoyed a filling and wholesome spatchcock chicken. As a property it is warm, comfortable, very good beds and a great shower in my room. For those not walking the bus stops outside and there is car parking. Les is a knowledgeable man with a host of great stories. Generous with his time and humour. A great place to stay.

We was walking HW Path last month when we took a wrong turn and ended up off the path and at the Old Repeater Station. We had already walked 15 miles that day and I really needed to rest so knocked on to ask if we could sit on the picnic table out front for a little while. Les was so friendly and welcoming - he even bought us out a pot of tea and biscuits which he insisted was free of charge. He is such a lovely man and this is a good indication to us of how he would treat his guests to show us such kindness and hospitality the way he did. Thank you so much Les!

The host Les was an amazing host, we had to leave earlier than normal guests would so he decided to go out of his way to wake up earlier and have food ready for us to leave. The rooms are nice and cozy too with a great view. 10/10
