The Barn Bellingham - Bed and Breakfast. - Hexham

Charles Sichel-Outcalt

You might notice a pattern in these reviews - everyone loves this place.

And for uncountable solid reasons -

The hosts are charming, friendly, warm, all the while giving you space. They are almost telepathic in their ability to know what you need and when.

The space itself is gorgeous. Like being in a friendly country home. I’ll be trying to figure out how I can recreate that orangery at home (as if I could).

Breakfast was always top-notch. Wonderful variety of options to please any preferences and palates.

And the village nearby, Bellingham, is well worth a few days’ exploration.

In short, a wonderful, welcoming place and experience.

I have just spent 5 fantastic days here with Graham and Debbie. I can not fault this B&B. Everything, and I mean everything, was just perfect. The breakfast is something else. I kid you not but for them 5 days, I had no evening meal, I just wasn't hungry at all. The attention to detail is just brilliant. In the bedroom you have ample supplies of normal tea, sugar, milk, and earl grey, or coffee if that's your choice, and biscuits. This is stocked up every day too. There's a TV should you wish to watch it. Every time I came back after a brilliant days ride, Graham or Debbie would brake out the cakes, and a pot of tea upon your arrival.
The accommodation is top notch in every sense. You have your own space, and they both just leave you to it, they are only on the other side of the door should you need anything. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I genuinely loved staying here, and would do so again in a heartbeat. The best part for me was the fact that when I first booked with them and said I'll be coming with my motorbike, " oh you can put that in our garage ".
Don't waste your time with Hotels, stay here instead, you wont regret it. Thanks Graham and Debbie.

This accommodation really was outstanding and Graham and Debbie are a delightful, welcoming couple. We were only a short and very pretty drive away from Hadrian's Wall and Graham unexpectedly lent me a couple of hiking sticks, which totally saved my knees! His home made banana cake is awesome - the lightest I ever had, and my son was just as enthusiastic about the homemade marmalade and the rhubarb and ginger jam. Awesome sausages for breakfast, too. This and all the rest is what you get when your host is a true perfectionist. The experience for us, was like being served one lovely gift after another. Also the nearby Riverdale Hotel, provided the best dinners of our holiday. Parking for The Barn is in the garden of the property, at the end of a narrow lane which is easier to turn into from the Donkley direction than from the village of Bellingham itself. Plenty of places to do a u-ey in the car, if need be. A Golden Address.

We stayed here on 3 Aug while walking the Pennine Way.

Graham and Debbie were lovely hosts. They were very attentive, discreet, with an openness to allow us to enjoy the space.

We liked hanging out in the conservatory and our room was great – clean, nice bathroom, comfortable bed.

The food was excellent, but above all, we liked the hosts.

We stayed at the barn on our Pennine way trek. Graham and Deb were brilliant hosts. The bedroom was comfortable and well equipped, it was lovely to sit in the conservatory and eat breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for Graham, he catered brilliantly for all our vegan and vegetarian needs! Thoroughly recommended.

Debbie and Graham were lovely hosts. We had a lovely arrival with tea and cake. The room was great and the cooked breakfast was the best we had in our tour of the borders. They were easy and friendly to communicate with and had useful local information. We would definitely recommend The Barn and hope to visit again soon ourselves.

The B&B is located just outside of Bellingham - the ten minute walk to the town square is very pleasant.

It is a beautiful, quiet spot with a nice view into the garden in a beautiful area of north England.

The hosts are extremely hospitable and friendly. They really do everything to make you feel at home.

The breakfast is great and the hosts very much try to accomodate personal preferences or introduce variety during a longer stay.

The room is pleasant and clean.

While staying there one feels like a guest in use best possible sense of the word.

Definitely recommended. I hope that I'll manage to come back at some point.
