The Experience

Rosemary, warm and cultured, and Sooty the friendly terrier, greet you with homemade cake and encourage you to feel at home. Her bright home and its bookshelves reflect her interests in art and history. She’ll happily arrange collection from the railway station or bus stop; a packed lunch for a day out – perhaps to Hadrian’s Wall, or the races – will be no problem either.

Breakfasts in the kitchen/dining room can be as leisurely as you like, with homemade jams and muesli and traditionally cured bacon. And you’re welcome to take your coffee and a newspaper and relax in the little courtyard or sitting room before strolling across the park to the Abbey, museum or market.

Join one of several heritage walks around the town or hike through the wonderful National Park which incorporates the International Dark Skies Park. Return for a hot bath, much warmth and comfort and a short stroll into town for supper.

Reviews

Sarah, Oxford

Our first time away from home in nearly a year and we couldn't have made a better choice. Rosemary instantly made us feel comfortable and looked after us with great kindness all weekend. It's convenient too, just a short walk, mainly through the park to the town centre We had the immaculate and cosy attic bedroom with its view of the sky, sunset, moon, trees and rooftops. The Little Mexico restaurant took us back to our years in Mexico - highly recommended Our original email enquiry via Alistair Sawday didn't get though to Rosemary. If you don't get an answer email directly or phone


Robina, Nottingham

I had a warm, comfortable night at Rosemary's. Crisp linen, throws and electric blankets provided a soft cocoon. The house is on a quiet street, a little way from the town centre. Sadly, there's no Garlic Dog but Rosemary provided a thoughtful welcome with offer of refreshments in front of the log burning fire and a well chosen tea tray in the room. Her enjoyment of country pursuits is reflected in the many pictures and memorabilia around the house. Breakfast was a relaxing affair in the kitchen, with Rosemary an ever attentive host.


Gillian, Melrose

What a happy weekend: Rosemary our host was welcoming, witty and well read; Garlick the dog was friendly and fun; the bed gave us 3 nights of the best sleep we've ever had; the bathroom offered excellent shower and thick towels; breakfast included freshly-squeezed orange juice, home-made bread and coffee brewed just the way we like it; the house exuded both comfort and cleanliness that were good for the soul; and we had a comfortable and pleasant ten-minute walk in to town. We'll be back.


Wendy, Helmsley

We had such a lovely stay with Rosemary and her devoted dog Garlic in Hexham. The house is beautifully cared for and our room was perfect with a very comfortable bed . The bathroom right next door is spacious with a large shower and Rosemary is a delightful host . Breakfast was great . We would be very happy to return to this beautiful area and highly recommend a stay at 3 Ada Crescent.


Christopher, Hassocks

An absolutely delightful stay with a charming host who welcomed us with afternoon tea in her sun-trap garden. Rosemary recommended us to what may very well be the best restaurant in Hexham and her house is only a ten-minute walk to the centre of town but situated in a very peaceful cul-de-sac. When my wife mentioned mushrooms for breakfast they were produced forthwith! Highly recommended.


Location

The neighbourhood

Hexham’s central, ancient Abbey, is ten minutes’ walk from residential Ada Crescent. And there’s good food in this thriving market town; Rosemary keeps an up-to-date list of eateries and will gladly book for you. The fortnightly farmers’ market draws crowds. As does the May Book Festival and the September Music Festival. Hadrian’s Wall, and the National Hunt racecourse, are ten-minutes’ drive. Catch a bus to Corbridge, a train to Newcastle.

Local points of interest from Rosemary Stobart

  • Historic Hexham - named in Country Life magazine as England's favourite market town; situated in the heart of the Tyne valley with its ancient Abbey as a centrepiece. However a few miles away wild Northumberland beckons, perfect for peace and solitude
  • BOOK FESTIVAL 2nd to 11th May 2025 Jazz Festival 24th & 25th May 2025, Opera in the Abbey, great cinema,September Music Festival are just a few ideas! Corbridge has lovely independent shops + a Music Festival in July, Newcastle is not far away by train/bus
  • If National Hunt racing is your thing then Hexham Racecourse - ten minutes' drive - is a natural amphitheatre 600 ft above the town and holds fifteen meetings from Spring until Christmas. Check out their website!
  • Hadrian's Wall plus its fourteen major Roman sites is within easy reach. Marvel at the stunning landscape of the World Heritage Site and visit focal points nearby - Housesteads, The Sill and Vindolanda. Hop on the Roman Wall Bus, AD122 which runs hourly
  • Places to see an easy drive away include Wallington, Belsay, Herterton, &Cragside. However, Alnwick, Dunstanburgh, Warkworth, Bamburgh are only approx an hour further. Beadnell’s sandy beach, easy walks & west facing harbour epitomise a bygone age.
  • What about a break without the car? We are a short walk from Hexham Rail Station or if you have a heavy suitcase I can come and collect you. There is also a good bus service to and from the town with a bus stop near the house.

Introducing

Rosemary Stobart

Rosemary grew up in the Scottish Borders and has renovated and run other special places before settling here in 2015. Sharing her Hexham home, her design flair, art and books, is a treat. Her knowledge of all things Northumbrian (and beyond) is impressive and she is as happy to advise and chat as she is to leave guests ensconced in an armchair by the fire with a slice of homemade cake.
