This was a really delightful find. The owners are so warm and helpful and went out of their way to make the stay pleasurable. Attractive location, immaculate, great shower, delicious breakfast.... I would love to return and will be telling all my friends that Fairshaw Rigg is 'the' place to stay in the Hexham area.

We're delighted you found us too and really enjoyed hosting you. Glad you loved the "Ecocamel" showers - power showers but use something like 45% less water! We are grateful for your kind review and thanks for spreading the word. More

Lovely rooms, DVDs for kids/adults, exceptional breakfast, and couldn't drag the children away from the trampoline! Even went to the trouble of an Easter egg hunt though we were the only family staying. Lucy F

My wife and I recently spent a brief stay at this B&B just outside of Hexham, Northumberland. The location is very convenient with lots of things to see and do. The B&B was great with very comfortable rooms and fantastic breakfasts. We also had our evening meal there since it was a Monday and many eateries are closed. The meal... More

Decided to go up to Hadrian’s Wall as a last minute mid-week'ish walking break towards the end of January and found Fairshaw Rigg on this website. Really pleased with our choice, very comfortable B and B, good location for the wall, good pubs within reasonable driving distance. We thought the service was great, lovely breakfast with fresh eggs from the... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to say so many nice things. Pleased to report the hens are laying plenty of eggs now, after a quiet winter! Lily has settled in really well now and had her first proper walk out in the fields today. Hope you can come back to see us sometime. More

One adult and one child stayed Jan 19th for 1 night only. Room - lovely. Makes you want to go home and redecorate. Perhaps on the small-ish size, but then again plenty of room for 2 single beds, 2 sets of drawers, wardrobe and ammentiy tray. Lovely products on the tray by the way. Hairdryer was a proper one, that... More

Teresa - that is incredibly comprehensive and very kind of you to take the time - and say so many nice things! We "sell" the twin room as "cosy" but with its high ceiling, dressing area and roomy bathroom it attracts many favourable comments. Our other rooms, both with Kingsized beds, are a little more spacious but also have the... More

Other members of our party stayed for just the one night of 9th January 2012 and they were in the double room and twin room.
