Recently stayed for my husband’s birthday. Though the weather was miserable we still had a great time. We stayed in a castle pod again and it was fantastic. You literally turn up with just your clothes and food/drink as they have thought of everything. I paid for the celebration pack so the pod was decorated for us arriving. We managed to to the hot tub twice due to the weather. The pod was lovely and warm with the underfloor heating and the wood burning stove. We ordered pizzas for the Friday night and they were delivered at the time we requested. The site itself is immaculate, so clean and tidy.Loved seeing all the animals again.We walked down to the pub down the road for a mealin the Saturday night and it only takes about 10 minutes each way. Hardly any cars passed us so it felt really safe.

AMAZING! This was our first time glamping, we stayed in the Castle Pod for 2 nights in September. The pods have everything you need and have amazing views. The site is so quiet, the staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. We arrived on the Friday so were able to take advantage of the pizzas they offer on a Friday evening, delivered to our pod at the time we requested and worth every penny. The location is perfect, sadly it was cloudy so we didn't get to see any stars but we managed to BBQ and have a fire while enjoying the peace and quiet. Don't think about it just book.

We had a very relaxing time at Herding Hill Farm. The staff were friendly and helpful the whole place was well maintained and the animals all looked happy and well looked after. We stayed in a Castle Pod, it was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. We were blessed with clear skies on the first night, stargazing from the hot tub was a fabulous experience. Haltwhistle is a nice little village to have a wander around and Hadrians wall is right on the doorstep, amazing walks with amazing views for all abilities within easy reach.

Had a fantastic stay, the pod was excellent, very clean and well maintained. The view from the hot tub was nothing short of spectacular. Great walks along Hadrians Wall were within easy walking distance. Also had a wonderful Sunday Lunch at the Milecastle Inn (as recommended by Herding Hill Staff). Will definitely stay again

A fantastic weekend break in one of the very nice castle pods. Relaxing quiet site, beautiful views and pizza on Friday evening was delicious. Nice walk into Haltwhistle and evening meal at the Milecastle Inn just up the road, perfect.

This area of Northumberland offers fabulous walking along Hadrian's Wall, historic sites to visit, beautiful towns such as Corbridge, Hexham, and great food and hospitality at the very many establishments, notably the Twice Brewed Inn and the Milecastle Inn.

This is a lovely peaceful site perfect for some rest and relaxation. We stayed in one of the Castle pods which had everything we needed along with a rather wonderful hot tub with views of the hills and countryside. A short journey to the Sycamore Gap where we could see the stump was sprouting! Hexham and Corbridge offer free parking for 72 hours and easy to hop onto a train to Newcastle from both of these places. We called in at Gretna Green (about an hours drive) on our way home where there's a wonderful Scottish shop. The weather was sunny and warm which always helps.

We spent 4 nights in a castle pod at herding hill farm. Before our arrival I had rang up just to check what we needed to bring, we were told everything was included and to bring ourselves and some food. That was not wrong, everything was thought of, including seperate towels for the hot tub. When we arrived we were showed round the pod and how to work the hot tub and any appliances, the customer service was excellent they even hand delivered charcoals to our pod. We visited the mile castle inn for food one night which was excellent, around a 12 minute walk from site. We ordered a delivery from the Haltwhislte Fryery which served pizzas and fish and chips, the food was excellent we had pizzas. We visited the Roman Vindolanda which was ten minutes away which was a great way to spend an afternoon. Hadrians Wall was in walking distance, we walked to the wall and into haltwhistle, perfect!The site is really peaceful and the countryside is so beautiful. We will defini

Returned to Herding Hill after staying last year and we were delighted to stay in Chillingham Castle Pod. The pod has lots of nice touches like tea coffee sugar milk, and everything needed in the kitchen and bathroom, including hairdryer. From the hot tub you can see fields and sky. Looking forward to returning. It's a great place to reset from every day life. Not far from Carlisle, Newcastle, and local history. Photos: view from pod, nearby river on Hadrian's Wall, signposts from local Milecastle pub. There are nice places to eat and drink a short drive nearby, including Twice Brewed where you can take dogs too.
