Guests say
The Bunker is a well-received holiday rental with beautiful views, a clean environment, and a private hot tub. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions and the thoughtful welcome pack. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is highly regarded for its location and the comfort it provides.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-kept, with multiple reviews affirming its tidiness. One mention of a hot tub needing attention slightly impacts the score.
The location is praised for its stunning views, privacy, and accessibility to local attractions like Hadrian's Wall. The proximity to a good pub and the suitability for stargazing are also highlighted.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with the property described as cosy and the bed as comfy. However, there are mixed reviews about the bed's comfort, and some guests mention issues with the shower temperature and a scorching towel rail.
Facilities are appreciated, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a sticky cupboard door, a slippy shower tray, and a hot tub that switches off at 10 pm, which suggests room for improvement.
Guests are pleased with the welcome pack, which includes prosecco and snacks, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this score reflects the positive reception without setting an expectation.

I had a lovely time. The property was clean and had all the right facilities. The views were absolutely stunning and also enjoyed a bit of stargazing. It’s also not too far from several historical landmarks like Hadrian’s wall, Housesteads Roman Fort and many others. The Sill is only 5minutes away. Would definitely be visiting again.

Great location and amazing views. Lodge was clean and tidy upon arrival, with a little welcome pack of prosecco, crisps and biscuits which was a nice touch. Being in the hot tub looking out into the countryside was incredible.Storage space for clothing is very limited so try not to take too many items.Twice Brewed pub do a really nice Sunday lunch as well and it’s dog friendly…it’s walking by distance if you’re prepared to walk along a national speed limited road with no path but only 30 seconds down the road in a car. I would absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely perfect, the place is gorgeous and smells amazing. Everything was very well kept, clean and tidy. The bed was okay maybe a little springy but very snug, The hot tub is also a massive plus, there are garden lights you need to manually switch on which we did on the second night and it was so lovely. The only downside fall I would say is we wished there were bathrobes and slippers for getting in and out the hot tub. Part from that we will absolutely be back!
