My husband and I recently stayed here on our way to Scotland, for just one night. From the moment we arrived in this beautiful region of England, we wished we could have stayed longer, especially at Fairshaw Rigg. Paul and Kathryn deserve all the praise and compliments they have received, we can wholeheartedly echo them all. We had a wonderful... More

“Proper stop.”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

A spotless place. Really homely. Breakfast was faultless. And a lovely couple to boot. What more could you ask for . Stayed there for 2 nights and loved it. They even book your restaurants if you want and taxi. The restaurants know where your from and give you top quality service also. Well worth stopping over if your passing.

We do make a point of recommending and offering to book local restaurants - Our area has some brilliant places but they get very busy! So pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. More

“Amazing Alpacas”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

Fairshaw Rigg is a real find for any traveller. The alpacas make this even more special. From the moment you arrive Paul and Kathryn make you feel so welcome however not over the top Hexham itself is a nice town and the area is outstanding. The B&B is worth its 5 stars to echo many other comments. All little touches... More

Glad you enjoyed meeting the herd and even more so that you loved your stay. Your kind comments are really appreciated and we hope you both enjoyed the rest of your time off. More

“Perfect b and B”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

For cyclists at the end of the day it is a bit of a tiring plod up the hill from Hexham - but 100% worth it. Fabulous, peaceful and relaxing b and b, where everything is perfect - from the simply delicious soup to the bath!

We're so glad the tandem made it up the Allendale Road to here as we really enjoyed hosting you both. So glad you enjoyed your short stay with us - Kathryn thoroughly enjoys making supper when she has the time to prepare. As discussed there are plenty more routes for you to explore around here so hope to see you... More

A wonderful B&B. Kathryn and Paul breed and show alpacas and were very willing to introduce us to them and answer our questions – and ‘Rose’ was so cuddly and friendly. Their duvets are filled with alpaca fleece and I wish I had bought one to bring home – very warm yet light. Breakfast was served around 1 big table... More
