I booked this stay as it was near a wedding I was attending at nearby Hallington mill. Upon arrival we easily found the key and gained access up a small path. Near the door I thought the path could do with a bit of a clean as quite a bit moss was lying on it, just needed a bit of a brush down. The room looked nice on initially entering with stunning views but when you start to look around you see the poor cleaning. Huge cobwebs on the small spot lights that are dotted around, cobwebs hanging right above the bed on the wooden beams, a small hand brush was hanging on the wall and had obviously been used to brush the floor before we arrived, the dust was still hanging from the brush, all it needed was a clean off afterwards! Husband got rid of quite a few spiders from the side of the bed. The shower was good but the bath is quite high to step in, so be careful if you’re older. The toilet obviously has some kind of water system fitted which is but noisy. The hand sink fills with water and doesn’t run away very well so you have to turn the tap off while brushing your teeth, think it may just need a clean. The outside patio area could do with some TLC just to make a bit more welcoming, could do with a jet wash and maybe a couple of plants . The milk and teaiscuits left were a nice touch. The bed was clean except the spiders. Tried to use the taxi firms to go over to the wedding venue the night before, eventually got through but all of them wanted £25 to go approx 3 miles. And most never had anything available as they must just be one man bands. So not much use. On arrival back after the wedding, walked in the door and next to it was some kind of black thing which could possibly have been a newt or something, anyway I didn’t fancy going to sleep with it in the place so husband again had to get rid of it . The to also loses signal all the time so not much good. The big mirror was also filthy with huge streaks on it. The cleaner needs sacked. If your not bothered by these things then the place would be fine for you I know it’s rural but I still want it to feel clean, Would I say here again? I’m afraid not.

We booked, at relatively short notice, Shellbraes Studio for a Sunday to Wednesday getaway.
The location is very rural and beautifully quiet.
The Studio has been very well thought out with good use of the space. Nicely decorated and good quality.
The only minor grumble would be that you cannot turn off the display on the wall mounted electric heater. It was very bright during the night.

My only criticism about the whole of the property is directed to issues for people with mobility problems. While some people with a physical disability will be able to enter the property from the front door, others may not, especially for wheelchair uses.

The other problem I found was in the use of the bath when having a shower. Once the process was underway the surface of the bath underfoot became very slippery and I, as an able bodied person, found it difficult to retain balance. I would not let my wife, who has mobility issues, use the bath at all.

Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent property and location. Little off the beaten track which was part of the charm.
Comfy and good value.

I stayed here for a weekend and can definitely recommend it for a peaceful stay. The countryside is beautiful - the cottage isn’t in a village so worth bearing in mind if you need to be in walking distance of shops etc. The studio is lovely - well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable. There is an outdoor area with table and chairs too. A welcome pack of local products was a lovely touch too. Great place!

The studio was just what we wanted, secluded, cosy but still not too far from places of interest. We had a cold and wet weekend but chilling in front of the wood burner was great. The studio is small but well appointed and ideal for couple. We will be back again , hopefully the sun will shine next time.

Our second time in the Studio with family staying in the Farmhouse.
The Studio is a comfy and cosy haven, well equipped and with beautiful views of open countryside from the small enclosed outside area.
We were also fortunate to have a clear sky at night so, in what I would consider a dark sky area, star gazing was a definite plus. Hope to be back next year!

This is the second time that I stay in the Shellbraes Studio, and the experience is as excellent as the last one. I will definitely plan for another visit in the future. Thank you, Sam and Vicky, for being responsive and helpful.

The studio to the rear of the main house was simply perfect.
We couldn't have asked for much more. It was really clean , open fire, hairdryer , iron,.microwave , cooker. Everything you could want in a small house. It had been equipped with everything you could possibly need.
We loved the accommodation and it was private from the house and the family if we did want to some space.
Thank you for such a lovely stay. We would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit this area

We hired the studio alongside the farmhouse for me and my now husband and our family to use for getting ready at and to stay at for our wedding and we loved everything about both properties the studio was perfect for my now husband to use to get ready in the morning or the wedding and for our guests to stay in to. Highly recommended the studio and the farmhouse.

I really enjoyed my stay at Shellbraes Studio and slept so well for the two nights I spent there. The accommodation is a well-equipped, decent-sized open-plan room and has got great location (not too far away from Hexham and Corbridge if travelling by car) and serene surroundings. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Sam and Vicky, for providing all the useful information and keeping this place nice and tidy.

Beautiful well equipped little studio, fabulous views, lovely and warm and nice to have some complimentary food items on our arrival. Couldn't fault it, we hired it along with the farmhouse which was amazing but would definitely come back as a couple to hire the studio individually another time. Many thanks to Sam who couldn't have been more helpful.

Shellbraes Studio is ideal to be booked alongside Shellbraes Farmhouse, but is private enough if you wanted to book this on its own. Tastefully furnished, very welcoming and feels like home. It's in the most peaceful countryside and isn't far from all of the amenities that you need.

The studio is cosy, very comfortable
and well equipped,though the fridge is rather small. However we ate with family staying in the farmhouse so didn't need to use it for storage.
The building is in a beautiful setting with walks from the door.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
