A B&B FIT FOR PURPOSE

Take a walk (or a cycle ride) on the wild side in an unspoilt area of natural beauty and unique flora and fauna.

Why Temple Croft?
Recent unsettling events (Brexit, the pandemic, the economic downturn, etc) have created concern for most people. As a consequence, they have caused us all to think  about how we can best enjoy our holidays and leisure time conveniently, safely and with value for money.

This has resulted in many people choosing to explore locations within the UK – and liking what they discover.

Here at Temple Croft B&B, we aim to provide maximum quality with  flexibility and comfort, while maintaining as safe an environment as possible: for example, a regular deep-cleaning regime (including disinfectant fogging) adds to the feeling of confidence our guests enjoy during their stay. 

With bedrooms catering for groups of up to eight people, specially constructed and centrally heated dry room, secure bike lockup and washdown area and flexible room configuration, why not make Temple Croft your halfway house on the C2C? Or a welcome stopover point on the Pennine Way or South Tyne Trail?

It’s the perfect base for touring the Roman North and Scottish Borders; discovering the celebrated north-east coastline; enjoying some of the best salmon fishing in the land; or just spending some quality time in England’s last great wilderness.
