Stay there, that's all you need to know. Matt is a fantastic host, the rooms are really pretty (although the south bedroom is more spacious and has the best en-suite bathroom you'll imagine), the B&B setting is rural and quiet and only a few minutes' drive from some very scenic parts of the Hadrian Wall. Oh, yes, the food is... More

Does it get any better than this? As you're driving down country lanes at night en route to your stay for the weekend, you can be hopeful - and sometimes worried - on your choice of B&B. Experience shows the results can be mixed. Will the hosts be friendly and welcoming? The rooms decent? It took about half a nanosecond... More

We had a wonderful stay at Chapelburn House and were really well looked after by the owners, Matt and Katie. The food was excellent (all meals featured locally sourced produce)and the hospitality superb. The rooms are extremely well appointed with a beautiful finish and tasteful decor. The owners were attentive but discreet and very happy to help. The location is... More

We thoroughly recommend this B and B for a stay and for excellent food and friendly reception/advice. Area for guests is comfortable and so private you feel it is your own cottage. Care and attention is full on but discreet and well-timed. Cooking is excellent; food quality is linked to local sourcing and care for the environment and animals. Very... More

What a find! Matt and Katie are excellent hosts and we felt very comfortable in their wonderful home which skilllfully mix period details and log fires with 21st century bathrooms, beds and facilities. Breakfasts are great and Matt's dinners even better. You are in for a treat at a very reasonable price. Can't praise highly enough- do go there. We... More

I stayed at Chapelburn for 3 nights with 2 other friends for a walking weekend. Chapelburn is probably the best b&b I have ever stayed in. The food is fantastic and Matt and his family are all so welcoming. Comfy beds, powerful showers and log fires, I could go on but would probably end up writing a novel. Overall just... More

A great little place to stay. Matt was a great host with assistance of course from wife Katie and daughter Ella. Food was superb, with fresh veg from the garden, and the fire that greeted us when we returned from a drink was wonderful. We had the smaller of the two rooms which was perfect for our one night stay.... More

Spent 2 nights here as we ticked off Hadrians Wall from our bucket list. Matt was a great host. The B&B is in a fabulous location in the country and has a very high standard of decor. The breakfasts and dinner (unfortunately due to my memory I had failed to book the first night) were of a very high standard.... More

After long day on Hadrian's Wall Path, we got to Gilsland for a hit of ATM cash. US card wouldn't work so arrived to tell Matt we might not have enough cash to pay. "No problem, I'll drive you into town tomorrow" was his immediate reply, accompanied by a couple of beers. Rooms were divine, fire warming after early May... More
