“Crescent Cottage was comfortable and well equipped with everything in good working order.”

I particularly appreciated the easy parking and access to the garage for my bicycle. The cottage was very quiet but is in the town centre with Sainsbury’s about 4 minutes walk away. The town is well connected with bus services east and west and a surprisingly frequent service in both directions from the railway station. With nearby Hadrian’s wall and pleasant countryside Haltwhistle is great holiday destination. I would definitely recommend.

“Great cottage in a great location we stayed here for 2 weeks while I was a volunteer excavator at Magna fort on Hadrian's Wall while my wife was hosting family and friends.”

The cottage is a great set up, comfortable bedrooms large living room. Kitchen with fine garden area that was beautiful. Susan was a wonderful host. Train connections were very good. Haltwhistle is a great spot, pubs, grocery, a few shops and wonderful scenery out the door. If we are heading back to Hadrian's Wall we know where we will stay.

“Staying in the lovely cottage felt just like staying with old friends.”

A warm and welcoming home from home, we lacked for nothing. We especially enjoyed the fresh scones and a hot drink after our long journey. Sue and Nick were available should the need arise both for conversation and suggestions. It’s a great base for visiting many places; a walk along the burn is a must!

- Rebecca, September 2023
Anthony August 2023

“We can only agree with all the excellent reviews, which are fully justified.”

The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and clean. The wifi is good There is an attractive sitting out area. Parking is easy. The "upside down" layout works very well. The cottage is very close to the town centre, but at the same time very quiet and private. Haltwhistle is at the centre of beautiful countryside and other attractions, including of course the best sections of Hadrian's Wall, and with good roads in all directions

Patricia July 2023

“Great cottage, it was very comfortable and clean; we wanted for nothing.”

The home-made scones and jam were very welcoming on our arrival. There are lots of walks directly from the cottage and places to visit by car or bus. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

- Patricia, July 2023
Jeffrey June 2023

“We didn't really know what to expect from the property described as an upside down house.”

It sounded interesting and it didn't disappoint. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable and very well appointed. There was nothing that we thought would have been nice to have but didn't and in fact I had taken several things I didn't need as they were provided. Sue and Nick were excellent hosts. They live next door and so are on hand to help with any problems (though we didn't have any). They are very friendly and willing to help with advice if asked but also give guests the space to enjoy their holiday. Haltwhistle is a great little town with a lot of amenities for its size and good rail and bus links. Its an excellent base for walking or exploring Hadrian's Wall territory. My husband was excavating at Vindolanda and the location of the cottage was perfect for this.

- Jeffrey, June 2023
Helen May 2023

“A real home from home, with everything you could need and loads of space, internet, parking, excellent equipment and pleasant garden area.”

The little touches like dishwasher tablets and hand wash provided, and the cake to welcome us were really helpful. The location is perfect for walking the Hadrian's Wall path and seeing the best of the Roman remains as well as other general visiting this lovely area. We loved our week: thank you!

- Helen, May 2023
Hazel May 2023

“The cottage met our needs perfectly.”

Such a delightful place, everything was spick and span. The kitchen was very well equipped, nice to have more than the basics, all quality crocks and lots of them. Sitting out on the patio was lovely, overlooking the owners beautiful garden, full of bird song. Haltwhistle is a nice regenerated, friendly town, good places to eat and buy food supplies. A great location for touring Hadrians Wall and the surrounding stunning Northumberland countryside. Buses were great too, so no need to drive all the time.

- Hazel, May 2023
Anne October 2022

“Friendly hosts, this is a lovely warm and cosy cottage with all the facility’s required for a relaxing holiday.”

It’s jewel in the crown is it’s proximity to the beautiful Northumberland National Park, Hadrians Wall and it’s forts and museums. Spectacular in every way and not to be missed.

- Anne, October 2022
Henry September 2022

“The cottage is in an excellent location, close to everything of Roman interest.”

The cottage itself is extremely clean warm and cosy. Every household item has been thought about, and generously provided. Couples or families can expect to enjoy a trouble free and happy holiday at this cottage and Haltwhistle. Finally, Sainsburys or fish and chips are within short walking distance!

- Henry, September 2022
Fiona August 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at Crescent Cottage.”

Sue was extremely welcoming and gave us lots of top tips for the area. Everything was catered for in the Cottage and we didn't want for nothing. The surrounding area is beautiful and the train station only a 5 min walk away. We had days out in both Carlisle and Newcastle. Vindolanda is well worth visiting and really interesting. Thank you Sue for letting us use your Cottage. We'll definitely be recommending to others.

- Fiona, August 2022
Robert June 2022

“Sue and Nick were excellent hosts, very friendly and with good local advice.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our week: Crescent Cottage was first-rate in all ways. We loved the patio garden view. Everything was provided to ensure a comfortable base for exploring the wonderful surrounding scenery.

Lovely property in the heart of the Town. Extremely well equipped cottage. Off road parking a bonus. Would highly recommend property. Warm welcome with a lovely home made lemon drizzle cake on arrival.

- Linda, May 2022
Linda May 2022

“A lovely, cosy, well equipped and brilliantly situated cottage.”

Sue, the owner, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The cottage is fairly centrally situated in the small town so within easy walking distance to shops, pubs and a supermarket but feels very secluded and quiet. Haltwhistle is a perfect place to stay for walkers with excellent train and bus links if you want to leave the car behind. Would highly recommend this property.

- Linda, May 2022
Nigel May 2022

“Only one place to stay if you're going to Haltwhistle and its got to be Crescent Cottage.”

- Nigel, May 2022
Sue April 2022

“Lovely cottage - spacious lounge diner, clean and well-equipped.”

Pleasant outdoor sitting area overlooking attractive garden. Friendly owner, welcoming introduction then left in peace but on-hand if needed. Great location, quiet but a couple of minutes to good pubs, shops and takeaway. Plenty to do/explore nearby.

- Sue, April 2022
Sheila March 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Crescent Cottage.”

The property has all you need for a relaxing holiday. Sue the owner lives next door and was on hand if you needed any information, and she also makes lovely scones which were much appreciated. There is a good bus and train service so no need to use the car.

Jane November 2021

“Crescent Cottage proved the perfect long weekend retreat.”

The buildings’s upside-down layout is spacious and extremely comfortable. The hosts could not be more welcoming or accommodating. Haltwhistle may well be the Centre of Britain it’s certainly at the heart of this region and its many attractions. We walked the South Tyne Trail to the elegant Lambley Viaduct, and even managed several miles of a rain-lashed Hadrian’s Wall. Allen Banks, Bewcastle and Lanercost Priory also recommended.

- Jane, November 2021
Jenny August 2021

“We had a lovely stay.”

Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. The cottage was everything we hoped for and more. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything needed to cook full meals. The location was fantastic for exploring Northumberland.

- Jenny, August 2021
Andy July 2021

“The accomodation was extremely clean and spacious.”

The outdoor area that overlooks the owners lovely walled garden is a great place to relax and have a BBQ. Sue the owner was extremely helpful and friendly and when we arrived we were greeted with a very tasty homemade cake! Although the property is in the centre of Haltwhistle is is on a very quite side street yet conveniently close to all the ammenities that Haltwhistle offers. The local area is fantastic for walking without the need to get in the car. The local leisure centre is also recommended and offers a great outdoor heated swimming pool and tennis court. Highly recommended.

- Andy, July 2021
Clare July 2021

“Loved this cottage, great location in the centre of Haltwhistle but still quiet, comfortable and well equipped, lovely little courtyard to sit and eat in with a bbq, with lovely garden outlook (though no access to garden so just for the view).”

Sue the host was great and did everything and more to make sure we had a lovely holiday. Highly recommended.

- Clare, July 2021
Graham July 2021

- Judith, June 2021
Susan May 2021

“My husband and I stayed at the cottage in May 2021 for a few days and it was absolutely brilliant.”

The location of the cottage is central and handy for all that you need (supermarkets, pharmacy, pubs, takeaway s etc). Walks are nearby too or clearly signposted if you fancy doing Hadrian’s Wall (car is advised for the Wall). The cottage was clean and spacious and equipped with what we needed. The owner was really helpful and contactable if needed. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it

- Susan, May 2021
Christopher October 2020

- Christopher, October 2020
Geraldine September 2020

“Sue made us very welcome.”

she took our luggage from and back to the railway station which we very much appreciated. the biscuits she left for us in the kitchen were delicious and im only sorry i forgot to pop into sainsburys to buy some to take home. the cottage is very pleasant and the patio had the weather been a little kinder would be an excellent place to sit out and enjoy the view of the garden. the cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay. the surrounding area is excellent for walks, the local pubs and shops are served by friendly staff. and everywhere felt safe, clean and inviting.

- Geraldine, September 2020
Mary September 2020

“Very warm comfortable accommodation and well equipped .”

Among concerns about the Covid 19 Pandemic, we felt really confident about our stay at Crescent Cottage The owners were welcoming without being fussy. The cottage is situated in a quiet location but well placed (within walking distance) for shops and eateries. We would visit again.

- Mary, September 2020
Callum September 2019

“This is a very well equipped and spacious cottage that had everything we needed.”

It’s conveniently located near the centre of Haltwhistle but still away from the noise. Very good for walking and near some stunning scenery at Hadrian’s Wall, Allen’s Banks and a bit further away at Kielder Forest. Also handy for a trip by train to Newcastle or Carlisle.

- Callum, September 2019
Stella September 2019

“The cottage is very well equiped and comfortable with lots of books and local information.”

The hosts are very helpful and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble, all the other reviews are correct! The cottage has a very central location in the town with shops, pubs etc only a few minutes walk away but the location is also very quiet. Haltwhistle is a great little town for exploring Hadrians Wall as it is in "5 star wall country" with lots of great walks nearby, the wall is only about two miles from the cottage.

- Stella, September 2019
Kevin July 2019

“We had a warm welcome from Sue and Nick who provided us with some very good tips and information about the area.”

- Kevin, July 2019

- David, June 2019
Ruth May 2019

“The cottage was most comfortable, the weather was chilly but the heating & hot water worked very well, keeping us warm throughout our stay.”

The kitchen is well equipped & we ate in a fair amount of the time. There is a Sainsbury's very close by which was ideal. We also had 2 very good meals at the Centre of Britain hotel in the main Street. Haltwhistle is a perfect location for exploring the Roman forts & Hadrian's wall. Very scenic area for walking. It was also easy to visit Carlisle, Hexham & Corbridge by bus & Newcastle by train from the local station within walking distance of the cottage. Many thanks to Sue & Nick for a most pleasant stay - making us most welcome with fresh flowers & cake upon arrival. We certainly would recommend Crescent cottage.

- Ruth, May 2019
Adrian May 2019

“A very lovely cottage, it had all the facilities we needed.”

The hosts were very welcoming and helpfully telling us about the facilities and attractions in the area. We had a great time visiting the many roman sites in the area. By the end of the break we can honestly say we were 'romaned out'.

Caroline October 2018

“We had a fabulous time in Crescent Cottage.”

It is warm and cosy and we looked forward to returning there at the end of each day. The location is very convenient: an easy walk to Haltwhistle Burn and the Wall and also just a couple of minutes from shops and pubs. The owners, Sue and Nick, are charming and welcoming. They couldn't have been more helpful and were a joy to meet. The surrounding countryside is stunning and the history, of course, fascinating. We chose this cottage because of the glowing reviews. Now it's our turn to add yet another one to the list!

- Caroline, October 2018

Sabine September 2018

“The cottage was lovely: comfortable, cosy, beautifully decorated, spacious and perfectly equipped.”

Nick and Sue, the owners, who live next door, were very kind and friendly (fresh flowers and delicious coffee cake to welcome us!) and helpful giving us a lift from and to the station (which is in fact not at all far away, but after the two-day journey by train and ship from Germany, we were very grateful)! Highly recommendable cottage in a great locaton: everything you need just around the corner and excellent for walking and hiking, too: beautiful walks at lovely South Tyne Valley and Haltwhistle Burn Gorge. We did have a wonderful time at Crescent Cottage! Thank you so much, Sue and Nick! Danke schön!

- Samantha, July 2018
David June 2018

“Very comfortable clean quiet cottage, the owners were there on our arrival and explained all that we needed to know with regards to the cottage and facilities we might need in town.”

It was also nice to have the use of a garage for our car enabling us to forget it and enjoy the lovely walks close by and the use of a regular bus service or train service to pretty much wherever your compass might lead you. The cottage, the owners, the town and area we can highly recommend, we had a brilliant holiday.

One of the best we’ve ever stayed in. Excellent facilities and owner was friendly, helpful, welcoming yet not intrusive. We definitely hope to go back. Location is superb.

- Joan, April 2018
Juliet April 2018

“A very pretty, well-equipped cottage, with little extras that are most helpful, such as condiments, kitchen roll, books, games and puzzles, and lots of local information, plus home-made cake and fresh garden flowers to welcome us.”

The furnishings are very good and decor is tasteful, and it is a surprisingly peaceful location, as well as close to the town centre and many lovely walks. We had a very good holiday there.

- Juliet, April 2018
Philip March 2018

“Great location and the cottage was fantastic.”

The upside down living really worked well. Great to have a garage to put bikes and bike rack when not in use. The local shops where only 1 minute walk, but with a 3 minute walk you are in the countryside and walking by a river. Owner was very helpfull with local info. Haltwhistle is great central location for Kielder, the moors, or the east or west coast.

- Philip, March 2018
Timothy September 2017

“The cottage itself was charming on first view and very comfortable, clean and welcoming.”

Our hosts, Sue and Nick were very welcoming, friendly and charming with lots of knowledge about the surrounding area. The cottage contained more than expected, with games, movies and books for those quiet moments and lots of information on local attractions which proved to be very useful. Upon arrival a welcome cake was waiting with tea and coffee materials to hand to ease our way into the stay. There is so much to see and do in the area coving historic monuments, walking, cycling, swimming and night out to name but a few. Haltwhistle is just about centre to most locations in the North and a short drive can take you from Newcastle to Carlisle, Cumbria to Scotland a great touring starting point. I would heartily recommend this charming cottage to anyone wanting to visit the North and will look forward to returning in the future

- Timothy, September 2017
Christina April 2017

“A very comfortable cottage!”

A living room upstairs, kitchen and bathroom reached through the living room. A sturdy handrail in the stairs. A very good place for exploring Hadrian´s wall as most places are at a maximum of 30 minutes drive away. We also got as far as to Wall´s End in the east and to Maryport in the West in an hour. The cottage lies close to shops in Haltwhistle. Many thanks for the welcome and advice we got from Sue!

- Christina, April 2017
Rebecca April 2017

“Such a lovely cottage in Haltwhistle and much more spacious than expected.”

A very characterful upside down cottage with everything we needed and more. Sue was absolutely lovely. Milk, homemade scones and jam were waiting for us, plus an Easter egg for our son. Haltwhistle is a lovely village with shops and pubs on the doorstep, plus lovely walks. Lots of places to visit, just a short drive away. Perfect for families and couples alike. Thank you for a great holiday.

- Rebecca, April 2017
Martin March 2017

- Dee, November 2016
Guy October 2016

“The most important feature of this holiday cottage is the quality of the furnishings and fittings.”

The spacious sitting room was very comfortable, as were the beds. The kitchen was provided with all the equipment that could possibly be required and contained very elegant crockery and glassware. The warm welcome from the hosts was much appreciated and this attitude was reflected by the local townspeople in all the shops, pubs and restaurants. A highly recommended holiday venue.

- Guy, October 2016
William October 2016

“Haltwhistle was a surprising little town with good facilities with just about everything you could need.”

...and a railway station with excellent service to Newcastle and Carlisle. Hexham and Corbridge are lovely towns well worthy of visits. We were primarily on a walking holiday and the walks and countryside were delightful. The cottage itself was excellent. This is an area with which we were not familiar but will certainly revisit.

- William, October 2016
Laina September 2016

“One of the best holiday homes we've stayed in.”

Owners very friendly and helpful, house extremely comfortable and well equipped. Very pleased .

- Laina, September 2016
Barbara August 2016

“The home made scones, jam and fresh cut flowers were such a lovely touch.”

The cottage was so comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so close to all the areas we wanted to see and walk. We booked it so our Dutch /Norwegian visitors could walk Hadrians wall and all the dsabled cottages had been booked already. The stairs were difficult for my husband and I but we managed and are so glad we did. We've had such a lovely experience and Sue and Nick were so friendly and helpful. The cottage was outstanding with such a beautiful garden.

- Barbara, August 2016
Sarah August 2016

“Having visited Crescent Cottage last year and loved it, we booked again this year.”

It is very clean and comfortable, located perfectly for Hadrian's Wall and Haltwhistle itself has lots of circular walks. We discovered this year some art activities for the children to do in Haltwhistle on the odd rainy day! We highly recommend Crescent Cottage. The owners are very helpful and friendly and provide you with a delicious chocolate cake and a pint of milk on arrival which is lovely after a long journey.

- Sarah, August 2016

Grant April 2016

“Crescent Cottage is situated in the centre of Haltwistle, which has everything you'll need, plus an excellent pub.”

The cottage is ideally placed for exploring Hadrian's Wall and is clean, quirky and full of character. The owners were very nice and gave us a warm welcome.

- Grant, April 2016
Helena November 2015

“A fantastic cottage run by a very helpful and friendly host.”

Personally we felt the cottage was perfect for a holiday in the UK in November when the weather is cold and wet. Providing a washer and dryer made life so much more comfortable as we were out every day either mountain biking or walking. Also, even though the cottage is in the town it was so quiet.

- Helena, November 2015
Dorothy October 2015

- Caroline, August 2014
Dana August 2014

“Definitely the best rental property we have ever used.”

The house was immaculate but also very comfortable and cosy. Perfect for a family to enjoy. The garden was just lovely and the owner makes you feel very much at home. The village was also ideal for a holiday spot; very small but with two butchers, grocery stores, pubs so everything available and within walking distance. Beautiful spot in rural England that we would highly recommend to anyone!

- Dana, August 2014

“We parked the car on the day we arrived and did not use it again until we went home.”

Great walking straight from the door to Hadrian's wall. We used the train to visit Newcastle and Carlisle. The cottage was warm and cosy. The town location was great, but it was very quiet. Shops, takeaways and pubs all just minutes walk away. We had a great week and would love to return.

- Linda, October 2013
Terry September 2013

“Cottage was excellent, if you are thinking of booking it then do it before someone else does.”

- Terry, September 2013
Ann August 2013

“We loved the warmth and cosiness of Crescent Cottage.”

On our arrival there was milk in the fridge, a cake and tea and coffee available, which after a long drive was very much appreciated. The cottage could not have been better and the information pack provided was simple to understand and very informative. It made planning the next days activities very easy. We met the owners a few times and they very much helped us get the most out of the area with their suggestions. So all in all we could not be more happy with the service that Sykes provided and the lovely cottage, welcome and advice from the owners. Thanks all for helping to make it a very enjoyable holiday!

- Andrew, August 2005

The scenic Haltwhistle Burn gorge, which leads up to the Roman wall (2 miles away), is just a 3 minute walk from the cottage. The property has been sympathetically modernised to an extremely high standard, and includes a spacious first floor sitting room with dining area, two comfortable ground floor bedrooms and a sun-trap patio overlooking the owner's walled garden. An ideal base from which to explore Hadrian's Wall, the North Pennines and Hexham, whilst Kielder Water, Alnwick Castle and the Northumberland coast are further away. Haltwhistle is also within easy reach of Carlisle, the Lake District and Dumfries and Galloway. A fabulous property for a relaxing and varied break at any time of year!

About the location

HALTWHISTLE

Hexham 17 miles.

Known as the 'Centre of Britain', this small market town is a great place from which to explore both Northumberland and Cumbria. Haltwhistle boasts a good range of shops and pubs - one of which, The Black Bull, is a real ale pub serving good food! There is an excellent leisure centre with heated open air swimming pool and cycle hire in the town, with pony trekking nearby. One of the best preserved stretches of Hadrian's Wall is only a mile to the north with various museums, forts and milecastles to be seen. There is even an ongoing 'dig' at the nearby site of Vindolanda. This truly is magnificent walking, riding and cycling country, with the Pennine Way and various bridleways and cycle routes passing rivers, forests, castles and of course, Hadrian's Wall. Visitors will enjoy this location in all weather and all seasons – a regular train and bus service from the town to Newcastle, The Metro Centre and Carlisle, means that you can leave the car behind and enjoy!
