What a wonderful week we had at Bankside House! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Julie and Ed were such lovely, thoughtful hosts, and it was clear that they had gone out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible. The location is simply beautiful, surrounded by the stunning Northumberland countrRead moreyside and perfectly situated for exploring Hadrians Wall, Vindolanda and all the incredible history this part of the world has to offer. We spent our days exploring Roman forts, walking in the countryside and soaking up the wonderful scenery, knowing we had somewhere lovely to return to at the end of each day. Travelling with three dogs isn't always straightforward, so finding somewhere that welcomed our four-legged children was especially appreciated. It made our holiday all the more enjoyable being able to share the experience with them. What made our stay particularly special was the warmth and kindness of our hosts. Those thoughtful little touches really do make a difference and helped make our week feel like a proper home from home. We came away with some wonderful memories, a renewed love for this beautiful corner of England and a real reluctance to leave! Thank you, Julie and Ed, for such a lovely stay. We would happily return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bankside House to anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming base from which to explore the magic of Northumberland and Hadrian's Wall. Hide
