The location is spot on as well, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Wooler and a great base for exploring the local area. The owners contacted us a week prior to our stay with info re the cottage and the local area. Highly recommended.

We were comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasant one. There is some lovely outside space,only regret our weather not always the best for breakfast or evening drinks or dinner on the patio. There are some exceptional areas close by for walking and some local places selling good food.
