Holmhead Guest House

Also have camping and camping barns. Barns are basic but excellent. Well organised, dry. We'd planned to camp but upgraded to a barn because it's a very wet day. Super pleased we did. Great shower and kitchen. No car access, you have to walk here!

This was our second stay at Holmhead and we were so glad to come again. As before, our hosts treated us like VIPs. The full English breakfasts were delicious and cooked to order. The sliced fresh fruit was not needed but enjoyed. The setting is perfect. Previously, we have walked, given the ideal location, but on this short visit, we went to Carlisle for the poppy installation at the castle and did some shopping too. Our room was spotless, mattress comfortable, sheets ironed, tea setup just right, bathroom/shower just right as well. View from room beautiful. Can’t wait to return!

Camped here while hiking the Pennine Way. Perfect as right on the trail! Was the only camper and very grateful they let me stay as I think it was their day off! They even turned the drying room on for me which was a godsend as everything was soaked! Great views of castle ruin! Pretty location and building. Super easy access to Hadrian's Wall. Easy walk into the village.
