Perfect location
The cottage is a short walk from Hadrian's wall and we walked a section of it (about 9 miles) then took a public bus back. The bus stopped right outside the cottage door! The cottage itself was newly refurbished, clean and with modern appliances. The owner was friendly and helpful.

Exactly what we wanted and what was advertised
The accommodation was clean, uncluttered, comfortable, quiet, in a beautiful setting with lovely expansive views of farmland and hills on one side and looking to a small wood and lots of interesting bird life on the other side. Perfect as an excellent quality base for walking sections of Hadrian's Wall and exploring the local area. In fact being able to access the wall in 2 minutes walk from the accommodation, as well as the Walltown Country Park for night sky viewing was beyond our wildest expectations. The local bus, stopping at points along the wall, was excellent meaning we could plan A to B walks along the wall and not have to use the car at all, was fantastic - expecially as the bus stop was so close. Fantastic stay all round.

Great property situated a stones throw from Hadrians wall. The cottage was spotlessly clean and contained everything you could need. Highly recommended for anyone looking to spend time in the area..

Easter break
Had a lovely stay at this property which was easy to find. The hosts had left us some delicous scones which was a nice touch. The Property was spotlessly clean throughout. The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of room to relax. There is a smart TV, WiFi and Alexa. Upstairs there is a fabulous shower and a double bedroom. The property is opposite the Roman Army museum which is great place to visit when it's raining. We also had a lovely meal at the Greenhead Hotel (we did book in advance) which is only a short drive away.

Legion-dary cottage.
The property lived up to all our expectations. Lovely facilities, beautifully clean and everything we needed for our few days. Our hosts were great. The local hedgehogs which visited each evening were an added fascination. The situation in Northumberland so close to Hadrians Wall was perfect for us to go walking and explore the Roman history of the area. Highly recommended.

A relaxing week away
We greatly enjoyed our stay in early September. The cottage was warm, inviting and spotless. Our hosts were helpful with advice about local shops and restaurants. The location by Hadrian's Wall meant we were able to have walks without the long drive beforehand. The shower was lovely. All in all, we were very happy with our stay.

A lovely stay
We had a lovely stay at the Aquila Cottage. Communication with Alison and James was very smooth, the cottage very clean and plenty of information of the area to be found in the cottage if you might be looking for activities to do. A very comfortable bed and nice sofa to watch some tv in the evening (we were following the Olympics a bit). All appliances in the kitchen worked perfectly and everything that we needed was at hand in the cottage. Definitely recommend!
