Perfect place for the Wall

Everything excellent. The room was comfortable, well equipped, and very clean. Everything worked and was convenient. Breakfast is excellent. You have to say what you want for a cooked breakfast the evening before but that isn't a problem at all Lois, our host, was very interested in our itineraries and was very happy to offer advice on whatever plans we add. Ideally located for the popular spots on the Wall, it's unlikely you could find anywhere better for your visit

We stayed here for 1 nt whilst attending a wedding nearby. We loved this place. The room was spacious, clean and plenty of amenities. The breakfast was outstanding!!!! Pancakes and US style bacon with syrup, rivals the best that the US has to offer. If your considering staying here for any reason at all - you won't regret it. If you're travelling from the US (or anywhere overseas) and doing Hadrian's wall this is a beautiful accomodation that will be a highlight of your visit. I highly recommend you try Shaftoe's, it will provide the perfect stay.

Superb B&B

The owners welcome you from the moment you arrive. It is exceptionally clean and the room we had was spacious. Breakfast is tailored to your requests . The owner was extremely helpful in notifying us of traffic issues around the area due to a lorry fire on the A69 and how best to avoid it. The property is in a quiet area with very little passing traffic.

Perfect B&B

Fantastic location, easy drive to Roman sites, and a short walk to the train station. Breakfast cooked to order was delicious and a nice variety. Room was larger than typical and a friendly greeting each morning. Highly recommended.

A great B&B

Everything you would want from a B&B - a warm welcome from Lois - including a cup of tea - lovely clean and well appointed room and ensuite and a great breakfast selection prepared by David. A good base from which to explore Northumberland.

Lois and David are very hospitable and Lois made us feel very welcome when we arrived. There is a real cosy feel to Shaftoes. The room and common area for the guests are very clean and Lois has some great ideas for making your stay more comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, the bed was comfortable and there was a good shower. We used Shaftoes as a base to drive to Hadrians Wall and Vindolanda. We would not hesitate to stay again when in the area. Thank you!

We easily found the property and were given a personal tour and a lovely pot of tea. We slept well and had a scrumptious breakfast every morning. Dining was a quick walk into town and very nice as well.
