I loved everything about my stay at Hadrian’s Wall Studio. The property was so comfortable, fresh, and absolutely spotless. It has everything you could want, including a beautiful little deck with an area to hang clothes to dry. The Snack Shed out front is such a wonderful idea and a great amenity for walkers on a stretch of path that has few to no facilities for quite a while. I was extremely satisfied with a huge bowl of micro chips and baked beans for dinner after a cold wet trek! The studio is also supplied with breakfast items, tea, coffee, juice, and snacks, with the option to request beer or wine from the main house. Besides all this Lizzie and her husband Mike are so wonderful. Lizzie responded to all my messages within an hour and was always so friendly and helpful. Mike was so kind and we had a great chat before I left for the next part of my walk. I absolutely loved my stay and highly recommend this wall country gem!
