We had a lovely stay in this apartment, very clean and well equipped.
We had a lovely stay in this apartment, very clean and well equipped. We will definitely be back. It’s very well placed for visiting Hadrians Wall. We travelled by train and found the bus service more than adequate for our needs. The bus stop is outside the apartment. Also there is a range of shops and eateries. On Wednesday in the market square there was a pop up rice van selling take away food.

The Drovers Rest is a spacious first floor flat in an old building overlooking the main street in Haltwhistle. It is comfortably furnished and well equipped with an open plan kitchen/dining/living space and a separate bedroom and bathroom. There are pubs and restaurants in the town and car parking is available nearby at Sainsbury's. Stella replied quickly to my comments and had kindly left me some nice biscuits!Haltwhistle is 2 miles from Hadrian's Wall with its excellent walking possibilities and fascinating Roman forts, and is well served by public transport with both buses and a train station. It is a great location for a holiday, highly recommended.
