Lois's welcome was lovely and she explained everything we needed to know. The breakfasts we excellent (the bacon particularly) and more than enough to keep us going all day, so full marks too for David's cooking. The room was very confortable and well equipped as was the bathroom.

I would be wrong to say "we didn't like" but "less than perfect" for us was the bed which was a bit hard for our taste. Eating out in Haydon Bridge is a bit of a lottery; there are only two options and food is not necessarily available in the evening. A bit of forward planning is necessary!

Happy from the moment we parked in front of Shaftoe's Bridge, went inside and were immediately offered tea, coffee and biscuits. Incredible welcome and friendly, attentive service. Haydon Bridge village is so beautiful - this B&B sits next to the river with easy access to several pubs/eating places within walking distance. Very comfortable bedrooms with thoughtful amenities (only equalled in our London accommodation), sparkling clean, great showers, personal touches abound throughout the property. We loved it and hope to return.

Everything. Our hosts greeted us with tea and biscuits whilst we settled into our room. This was followed by recommending a pub for dinner and then booking a reservation for us. The room was spotless, comfy bed, great shower and breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. Fresh milk was available for the room and a guest fridge was provided should you wish to keep your own food chilled. Lois and David have thought of everything. They even provided hair conditioner with the shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom.

Everything was perfect.

Lois was very friendly and welcoming on our arrival and cooked up a fabulous, tasty full English breakfast for my husband and I. The accommodation is warm, spotlessly clean, peaceful and quiet with lovely bedding and a very comfortable bed. Room size is very good with powerful water pressure, guaranteeing an excellent shower. All in all everything was perfect and we would not hesitate to use Shaftoe's bed and breakfast again on our next stay. Finally, thank you Lois for your excellent advice on the alternative route to the A1. We got there in record time and thoroughly enjoyed the journey.

Beautiful spacious room and bathroom. Exceptionally clean and lots of attention to detail. Really friendly and helpful host. Good location to explore the main attractions around the Hadrian's Wall. Nice breakfast with plenty of choice.

Having to pre-order breakfast the night before as I don't really know what I'll fancy eating the following day.

Nice quiet, riverside location, with car parking directly outside of the house. Very friendly hosts who couldn't do enough to make our short stay enjoyable. Immaculately clean bedroom with very large shower/bathrom. Breakfast cooked to perfection or choice of cereal or fresh fruit salad if you'd prefer. Very conveniently located for exploring Hadrian's Wall and museums. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Lois and David were incredibly hospitable, greeting us at the door and offering a cup of tea. Our room was a very generous size and lovely and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the room had lots of tea/coffee facilities. Breakfast was delicious - there was a full selection to choose from and cooked fresh at the time of your choice during breakfast hours. The hosts were also very knowledgeable about the area and gave great advice about visiting Hadrian's wall. Highly recommend staying here!

Nothing!

The room was beautifully presented with lots of little extras - toiletries, teas, bottled water and a desk space for office / make up. The welcome was so lovely with a tray of tea and chocolate biscuits - first time we have ever been offered that at B&B. Breakfast was freshly cooked and nothing was too much trouble - even fresh fruit to take away for lunch!

Street light outside was bright - but what can you do about that? It was too warm to shut the curtains completely .

Greeting by host was very welcoming. Extremely clean room, with beautiful white towels, and little finishing touches like the Shaftoes mugs, and make up remover cloths.

A blind on the velux window in the bathroom would have helped keep out the light of the rising sun, which disturbed our sleep a little. Also a socket near the mirror would have meant we could use the hairdryer in front of the mirror.

A great place to stay - clean and comfortable with a terrific breakfast! Lois and David are wonderful hosts. It's in a lovely small village with a river and an old bridge. Really nice. A perfect base for Hadrians Wall, Vindolanda and other points of interest. .(Ps Don't miss eating at the Railway Hotel. We had very good vegetarian meal there - it was impressive).

Everything was great.
