Four of us stayed here before we started our walk to Newcastle along the Hardian's Wall using Mac's adventure tours. This B&B and Tearooms lived up it's reputation. We was greeted with tea & cake in the tearoom on arrival. The rooms where spotless and the breakfast was just the job to keep us going all morning. I don't give... More

I can add little to the other excellent reviews the Wallsend Guest House has recieved. The praise is well deserved. Great hospitality, first rate acccommodation and an excellent breakfast, will last long in my memory. If Carlsberg did B & Bs ................

My wife and I walked in after the long Hadrian Wall trek, out of the freezing storm of 3rd April and into a very warm and friendly welcome ........ that's dogs, cats and Lyn! (All very well behaved and perfectly trained) Yes, we were wet, cold and hungry but not for long. Excellent. Top quality lady and a very good... More

We spent our first night before embarking on Hadrians wall here...and what a treat. You receive the warmest of welcomes and feel instantly at home in this beautiful old rectory. Our host Lyn could not have been more helpful and hospitable with her two gorgeous dogs. The rooms were lovely, very comfortable and breakfast was fabulous. I was particularly keen... More

I was taking part in a 150 mile cycle ride along Hadrians cycle route with 10 friends. We had been cycling for 3 and a half hours in wind and non-stop rain. When we turned up at the guest house Lyn was stood there waiting for us. We were all soaked through and covered in mud. She was very kind... More

We walked Hadrian's wall from east to west so this was our last stop before returning home. We had been very fortunate with our choice of B&B's along the 7 day walk but we certainly kept the best till last. Lyn is a brilliant host and the Old Rectory is magnificent, with beautiful clean and tidy rooms with wonderful en... More

I have to congratulate lyn and andy on what has been my absolute favourite bed and breakfast ever. We stayed here as one of our stops whilst cycling Hadrians Cycle Way for bank holiday weekend, we had two double rooms both of which where absolutely beautifully presented. The welcome from the couple and their very lovely pets was just a... More

Considering the owners are so new to the business, they are doing an absolutely excellent job. This was not only a beautiful house, it was the best B&B I stayed in whilst walking the Wall, and probably the best B&B I've stayed in for absolutely ages. I almost want to go back to Bowness just to stay there! The only... More

We were met with a fresh cup of tea and buttered malt loaf which is just what we needed after a 7 night hike along the Wall. Lyn and Andy were excellent hosts, the room was well appointed and had everything that would need for a well earned rest. Chickens in the back garden supplied part of the ample breakfast.... More
