Errington House

We enjoyed our stay at Errington House. A lovely welcome with a pot of tea on arrival. Very comfortable bed and quality breakfast with local and homemade produce.

Sawday's gets it right. Generous hosts and a large comfortable house with big views in a great part of the country.

Delightful and very helpful hosts and ideal location with beautiful views. Very clean and all the facilities we needed. Would happily stay here again and highly recommend this lovely property.

Lovely traditional property, very well appointed, set in peaceful countryside. Charming hosts, great breakfast, Very clean and comfortable. Great place to stay. Thank you

Perfect location for exploring Hadrians Wall. A warm welcome on a chilly June day with every comfort provided. Such a peaceful rural location with sweeping views - we hope to return for long walks fortified by Carolyn's good breakfast!

A blissfully comforting, welcoming home, the hosts’ kindness which extended to their lending decent walking gear and a map to us city dwellers, and even a lift to the station on leaving. The location is beautifully placed in the best of Northumberland. We wished we could have stayed longer, and cannot recommended this gem enough to those seeking rest, good exercise and some peace.

What can we add to the plaudits that so many others have submitted about every aspect of this charming place? The location with its expansive and undulating views, the quality and homeliness of the accommodation, the sumptuous meals, the warm hospitality of Carolyn and Lex, their local knowledge and generous advice on where to walk, what to see and recommendations for restaurants. Five of us had a long weekend here which will remain in our memories. We’ll be back!

We had a lovely night here and were made to feel very welcome. Our dog was also welcome and slept in the super utility room. Such a great place for her as dogs are not allowed upstairs or in the bedrooms. Would thoroughly recommended.

We were lucky enough to spend 5 days in Carolyn and Lex’s gorgeous home. You would be hard pushed to find more hospitable and welcome hosts than the Dowies! Our bedrooms were lovely with really comfortable beds. Breakfast was amazing with homemade bread and conserves and freshly laid eggs any way you like. Before our arrival Carolyn provided us with lots of useful local information regarding places to visit and eateries which was very useful. We had so many lovely chats with Carolyn and Lex that by the end we felt we were saying goodbye to friends, not B&B hosts.

Felt I had to comment on our experience as we were so well looked after; and there wasn't anything that was too much trouble. We had a dog with us who met the other three dogs and got on well. We kept our dog in the car overnight, which was fine for the time of year. We were provided with dinner and wine when we arrived and prior to dinner were entertained by our hosts with pre-dinner drinks. We were conscious of the Covid restrictions, as were our hosts, so felt very safe. The hosts also provided us with local knowledge and information to help us see the area without chasing our tails!

Felt I must review this lovely place and say what a delightful time we had here. We had such a nice time here and felt so at home, on the way up to Scotland that we changed our plans and came back again to finish our trip on our wedding anniversary!! The farmhouse itself is beautiful, cosy, warm , the bedroom spacious with an incredible view out over garden and hills.Lovely large and comfortable bed , thoughtfully and tastefully furnished. Hearty breakfasts, and terrific evenings of home cooked food, wine and conversation. Carolyn and Lex are just the BEST of hosts. Will definitely return!

Carolyn and Lex provided a warm welcome in their comfortable house. We took the opportunity to have dinner on the first night of our stay and the home-cooked food was excellent. While in a quiet location it is convenient for many of the area's Roman antiquities as well as for the towns of Hexham and Corbridge, which provide good restaurant facilities. Our hosts were happy to advise us on places to visit. The weather was cool and damp during our stay but our room was clean, warm and spacious. We stayed four nights and would definitely consider returning.

Had a really wonderful stay. Beautiful location and amazing hospitality. Carolyn is a superb cook and her breakfast was top notch. Fresh eggs from their own hens, homemade breads, jams and marmalade - delicious. We felt completely relaxed and will definitely go back. Our puppy wants to go again too!

From our warm welcome on arrival to helpful route suggestions on our day of departure, this was a wonderful stay in Northumberland. Our room and the guest sitting room are very comfortable, the house warm, dinner (on our first night) and every breakfast, delicious. Carolyn and Lex are great hosts, their beautiful home, and its location, exceptional.

We could not have been made to feel more welcome. Carolyn and Lex are engaging hosts and have expert knowledge of the local area. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The ideal location for visiting the beautiful county of Northumberland. Thanks you for a perfect stay.

Breaking our journey to Carnoustie, we could not have enjoyed our stay with the Dowies more. They made us so very welcome ,every comfort afforded ,both bed and board! With great attention to detail ,and we were made to feel like old friends throughout. We should love to return on another journey North,and explore more of the Wall and the riches around. Thank you so much,Carolyn and Alexis
