From the scent of fresh baking, a " welcome table" covered with trail snacks and honesty box to the bright, beautiful, inviting bedrooms each with a candy jar filled to the brim with chocolates. We felt goodness, comfort and grace the minute we stepped inside this lovely guest house. I am certainly looking forward to being back there!… The lodge is easily accessible, even through public transport as the AD 122 Hadrian’s Wall has a bus stop right outside the lodge. I was looking for a spot to enjoy the night sky of Northumberland and a break to recharge myself, and the lodge provides just the right mix of tranquility, history (Hadrian’s wall, Vindolanda, Housesteads Roman Fort etc are all nearby) and also proximity to the stargazing facility / restaurant of the Twice Brewed Inn (4 minutes away by walk). The lodge is located in the middle of a place of rich history and I benefitted from Sam’s insight into and great recommendations of the nearby places of interest.
Sam went out of her way to anticipate needs. Sam (and Branston!) is a wonderful and thoughtful host. The room I stayed in was tastefully set up with all facilities and I had delicious breakfast at and packed lunch from the lodge.
The lodge is comfortable and well equipped and boasts a cozy living room and reading corner. I had absolutely the most serene time at the Vallum Lodge.
