Be careful if you stay at Burn House - it's so good you won't want to try anywhere else. From the minute you arrive to when you reluctantly leave, you feel like you've staying with friends rather than in a guest house. Margaret and Don certainly are naturals at making you feel welcome and at home. Greeted with home made cake (absolutely scrumptious) and tea in your very own sitting room, nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfasts are cooked to perfection and certainly set you up for the day! The location was perfect for us and an evening meal at the Black Bull was really good and very good value for money. The bedrooms are lovely and sunny and the place is peaceful and quiet which is just what we needed. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending this B&B but keep it to yourself, we don't want everyone to know about it!!!!

Just back from 3 nights at Burn House where the hospitality was second to none. Don and Margaret provided a very friendly and informal welcome; tea and cake in abundance! The ensuite room was very roomy and comfortable and the bonus of a personal lounge was a big treat. Breakfast - wow! It certainly set us up for the day. The B & B is located within a few minutes walk from the Black Bull, which is a comfortable local with excellent food, and is also a few minutes from the A1 from where Northumberland is your oyster. Don and Margaret were very helpful and informative in advising of places of interest. We visited plenty of them. An excellent visit and we're currently planning our return.

Burn House is a fabulous place to stay. Margaret and Don welcomed us into their home as if we were old friends, and immediately provided tea and cake (the chocolate cake is incredible). The rooms were spotless, beautifully furnished and included lots of complimentary toiletries, robes, chocolates, and a bag of 'things you might have forgotten'. There is a wide choice for breakfast, all expertly cooked by Don who clearly understands how to prepare and present good food. Margaret booked tables for us at the Black Bull (within walking distance and very good) and at Milan, a fantastic Italian restaurant in Woller, a short drive away.

This is a seriously good house, run by interesting and intelligent people for whom nothing is too much trouble. Why isn't every B & B like this?

It is hard to add to the accurate and enthusiastic reviews already given. But this B&B gets everything right - warm and friendly without being intrusive, a kitchen/dining room which allows you to see the meticulous attention to detail in the cooking and the layout, with nothing hidden and everything spotless, use of fresh garden herbs where appropriate (and a small floral touch by your plate) - yet not fussy or overdone. Don and Margaret can provide information and help, or entertain you with local stories and the history of their B&B. After 3 nights we felt we had made new friends of the sort you really want to keep in touch with. Even if you weren't planning to go to Northumberland, this B&B would make it worth the trip!
