Crescent Cottage

It was the perfect accommodation and place to explore this amazing area.

Lots to do and see and lovely little town with very friendly locals. Nick was a lovely man who was keen for us to enjoy all that was on offer. I would highly recommend the cottage and area around

Loved the cottage, very well maintained and cleaned.

Owner very friendly and helpful. 5 mins walk to centre of village and Sainsburys. Perfect base for exploring Hadrian's Wall. Entrancing view of walled cottage garden from kitchen window and the Sit-ooterie! Lots of stairs, check with owner if you have any infirmities.

Such a quiet location, yet close to the town centre.

Everything necessary was provided and the accommodation was very comfortable. Nick was charming and helpful.

We spent a lovely week at Crescent Cottage .

The cottage was warm and clean with everything we needed to make our week very enjoyable. Nick (the owner) even though staying next door was available but in no way intrusive. His personal tips were very helpful and much appreciated. All in all a great place to stay when visiting this part of Northumberland.

Owner Nick was very helpful with information before and during our stay.

The cottage is in a good location. There were lots of extras provided In the cottage that we weren’t expecting including cake, milk, shower gel, and much more. The cottage was nicely decorated, clean and had lots of character. Nick was helpful with any queries throughout our stay. We would highly recommend. The kitchen is very well equipped and we were able enjoy a Easter Sunday roast lamb dinner. The oven was gleaming.

A lovely cottage: very clean, well equipped (with just the right amount of equipment needed) and comfortable.

Also well situated in the town - quiet, but everything within easy reach. Welcoming, helpful yet unobtrusive hosts - Thankyou!

Excellent hosts.

A very comfortable and peaceful place to stay.Perfect location to visit Hadrians wall and all tourist attractions. Short walk to the centre for groceries, cafes and takeaways.The Holy Cross Church is well worth a visit for it's interesting history.

Crescent Cottage was perfect for us, it had everything we needed, was comfortable and clean.

It was quiet but well situated, only a very short walk to shops, pubs, bus stops and train station.

This is a fabulous cottage with lovely friendly owners.

It is in a great location, clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a wonderful holiday. Close enough to the market place to access shops, pub, local transport etc but we found it very quiet once inside. Great walking area from the doorstep with the AD122 local bus available if needed offering great stop off points to access Hadrian's Wall. We also made use of local transport to visit Corbridge (great bakery and book shop) and the larger town of Hexham. We definitely recommend this property.

Our first stay at Crescent Cottage and definitely hope to return.

Lovely old house but very well maintained property almost in centre of Haltwhistle. Not often you come across a property where absolutely everything that you need is supplied. Nice small patio for private use overlooking a fine garden and off-road parking as well!.

Lovely cottage.

Very spacious and extremely well fitted out. Right in the heart of Haltwhistle, so exceptional to find one with off road private parking. With Hadrian's wall so close there's loads of walking from the doorstep and a really good bus service to take you to Chesters on the wall or Brampton. Brilliant CAMRA listed pub in the village, The Black Bull, and the Twice Brewed Inn at a place called 'Once Brewed' on the Military Road is also CAMRA listed and well worth a visit. Will definitely be coming back.

The house was really well set up with everything you need in a holiday home.

All the small details had been anticipated. The owner was very friendly, had great local knowledge and available if needed. The local amenities are excellent and there are lots of things to do..

A fantastic find.

The immediate local area is well served with pubs, shops and eateries. Really friendly and helpful host and locals. It is a place that is ideally situated for walking. We never needed to use our car once all week. The cottage is within rambling distance of Hadrian's Wall and a host of other destinations. The property provides a range of walking guides including 22 local routes detailed in the Haltwhistle Rings series of pamphlets. There is fantastic year round public transport provision (AD 122 bus up and down to all points on the wall) including a well served railway station on the Carlisle to Newcastle line. The cosy cottage is set back from the road and is therefore quiet and secluded, with a small front garden and drive. To the rear of the property is a sheltered terrace overlooking the owners well tended and enclosed garden. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. This is attested to by the many repeat customers detailed in the visitor's book.

Dear Sue and Nick.

Many thanks for your warm welcome and exceptional hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay in your super cosy cottage, which was a real home from home. Also thanks for your tip regarding the concert at Wallington. Really enjoyed it and it was lovely to see Nick in his element. Should any of our friends and family want to travel to Northumberland in the future we will gladly recommend your place. For now take care until we might meet again. Pascal and Claudia

This was a really lovely holiday cottage, with kind and helpful owners.

It was very clean and thoughtfully decorated, cosy and warm.

This is a delightful cottage, well equipped, warm and spacious.

The location was excellent for our needs - digging at Magna and enjoying the shops and walks round the friendly town of Haltwhistle. Such a warm welcome with flowers, lovely scones, cream and home-made jam. The view into the enclosed garden from the kitchen and terrace was a constant pleasure. We plan to return.

Property very comfortable and well equipped.

Great access to walks and places of interest locally and further afield. Owner very helpful and friendly. Haltwhistle itself very quiet town. Shops, apart from supermarkets, close early!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The owners were really nice and helpful and made sure that we had everything. Definitely somewhere to go back to.

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.

We had a wonderful time at Crescent Cottage very, very Warm and Comfortable and everything you could possibly need and more,Sue and Nick very helpful…the scones and jam were lovely Very Central and handy for Buses and Trains.

Hopefully be back next year. Tommy and Lynda ,Cumbria

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!

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

Comfortable accommodation in a great location.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Owner very welcoming and helpful.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Lovely & cosy.

Warm welcome from the owner - lots of information provided about the surroundings , walks etc Great facilities at the cottage - very comfortable bed. Thank you so much - would highly recommend .

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent accommodation & host.

Very comfortable accommodation with friendly helpful owners living next door.

Sue and Nick made us feel very at home in their cottage. Hope to return

Perfect location for local shops and transport links.

Very comfortable cottage overlooking owners pretty garden. Owners very helpful. Well equipped for preparing meals, washing clothes after muddy walks etc. Would go back.

A lovely cottage which was cottage was spotlessly clean and Sue had done everything possible to ensure our safety during these difficult times.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The location of the cottage was ideal with shops and eateries within easy walking distance and with easy transport links to all the local historic sites. The cottage was very comfortable with a great outside area where we enjoyed a cold beer overlooking the lovely garden.

Great cottage, very well appointed, would recommend whole heartedly.

Sue was ever helpful. Could not have enjoyed the cottage more,

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.

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'.

Had a brilliant stay for Easter weekend at crescent cottage haltwhistle .

With my family . Cottage is lovely .very cozy everything you need . The garden area is beautiful for a cheeky g&T. It's in a great location but very peaceful. The hosts are really helpfull who are near by if you need anything .we will defo be back thax Debra & family from Blaydon .

Lovely people Convenient location.

Beautiful cottage.

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!

Very comfortable cottage, well equipped,m friendly & welcoming owner and in an excellent position for exploring all things Roman.

Our second visit and, again, it met all expectations

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!

Excellent property in a great location with the very helpful owner next door.

Very, very highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay in Cresent Cottage.

Thanks to Sue and Nick for the welcome pack and the helpful advice. The cottage was ideally situated near all the local facilities and was a very comfortable place to relax.

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.

A superb cottage , in a surprisingly quiet location ,convenient position for the many sites of historical interest.

The cottage was even better than we expected.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Extremely comfortable and well equipped cottage.

Had everything you'd need. Sainsbury's was just around the corner. Great location. Wifi was excellent. We were welcomed by Sue with homemade scones, plum jam and goats butter - delicious! Would recommend.

Everything you needed was in this cottage.

.5 star accomodation

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
