The breakfast was really good and the hostess welcomed us with tea and homemade cake upon our arrival. She is such a kind and lovely lady. She adores her cats and they are very friendly, loving and well behaved. The location is outstanding and the gardens are kept immaculately. There is a very special walk which you are invited to do, so to help appreciate the expanse and beauty of the grounds. We loved the bed and the views from all the windows. Parking is on site and such a great location to get to walks and to visit other areas. There is memorabilia from all over the world to be admired and the decor of the house is stunning.

There is nothing that we did not like about our visit there. The hostess has numerous cats which are so beautifully behaved and quiet and just add to the serenity of the home.

Breakfast was lovely and very tasty. Eileen has a number of beautiful cats who share her home. We like cats and they didn’t bother us, they’re very well mannered and friendly without being fussy. The house is beautiful and very clean. Beds comfy and beautiful linen. The grounds are immaculately kept and there was even a “safari” which we did on the morning we left.

There was nothing to dislike.

Lovely Hostess, with interesting conversation about her travels. Great breakfast. Clean room and bathroom. We especially enjoyed meeting Eileen's Main Coon Cats and her little Ginger Tom. Had a fun Safari round the garden. Beautiful and interesting decor. Pretty surroundings countryside. A wonderful stay!

A little cold in the morning, but fine as the weather has significantly changed over the past week.

Lovely B&B which is very well positioned for exploring the beautiful area around Hexham. Delightful host with an eclectic collection of travel mementoes and cats. Room was very comfortable and spacious, altogether an interesting and pleasant stay.

No gripes really, apart from it being a bit confusing to find. Not recommended if you have an allergy to cats, but if you're a fan you'll love the place.

Very welcoming with tea and cake on arrival. Sofa in the room which was a bonus, the room was very comfortable with space for the dog bed. The dog was made very welcome with a field next door to walk her. Beautiful gardens and lovely breakfast. No extra charge for the dog which was a bonus.

Nothing at all

This quaint B&B is in a stunning rural location in the picturesque area of Hexham. It provides a homely atmosphere for the traveller. Watching the sheep grazing in the adjoining fields on wake up was good for the soul. A real treat in the beautiful part of Hexham.

Opening the doors of the bathroom at night without making a sound was challenging!

Breakfast excellent choice Eileen looked after us so well starting with tea and cake in the beautiful garden we met her 5 lovely cats. Ideal place for touring Hadrian's wall we really enjoyed our stay . Thank you

No need to change anything

We loved our stay at Thornley House and were made to feel very welcome from the outset. Especially if you like cats then you are in for a treat, but the peaceful location, beautiful garden and delicious breakfasts are sure to appeal to all.

The cats, the cats and the cats! Lovely garden to explore. Such an interesting place to stay. House was spotlessly clean, tasty ample breakfast. Eileen and Shirley were very friendly. Lovely cake on arrival.

Nothing

Great location, parking, clean and comfortable room and a friendly host. The house was full of curious decor and collectibles plus some cats but they sadly stayed away. We were desperate to meet them.

We worried about being noisy since it was a home but it wasn’t an actual problem.
