What Our Guests Have to Say About Us
We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of April whilst attending Hexham Book Festival. We didn’t need to go to the Festival as Pauline and John’s house is filled with a large eclectic mix of interesting books!
The house is beautifully furnished and our bedroom was sumptuous with a lovely en suite. Having the use of a lovely characterful sitting room was wonderful.
John, a trained cook provided amazing breakfasts and evening meals. We found Pauline and John to be delightful, interesting hosts and despite working hard looking after us took the time to help us plan a walk on Hadrian’s Wall as well as a visit to The Lake District and seemed genuinely interested in our accounts of our days out.
We felt quite renewed following our visit and would highly recommend staying at Henshaw Barn.
I think this has been our sixth visit to Henshaw Barn, which in itself, must be a good recommendation! Pauline and John are amazing hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and memorable for all the best reasons – beautiful bed linen, fresh milk for your refreshment tray, ground coffee, chilled water, hairdryer, bath robes, luxurious toiletries – to name just a few, but all wonderful!! The two rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished to a high standard. We have stayed in both rooms and although quite different, each as good as the other. We always order evening meal – well, once you have sampled John’s food you won’t want to look anywhere else!
So — if you are looking for comfortable accommodation in this stunning part of the country, exceptionally good food and a warm welcome, this is the place for you.
