Great, substantial house with enough space for a big family to meet up and spend time together. We especially enjoyed the games room and garden. Very individual style in a great location to see the local area. Host was very helpful and communicative. Would stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Greystonedale Mansion. A very quirky property but had everything we could possibly need. Ideally located in Haltwhistle in walking distance to shops and pubs. Perfect location to visit Hadrians Wall and not too far to visit the Lake District too
