    Very secluded cottage and in a lovely tranquil and very very quite setting however the parking area was not easily accessed through the venal and parking for two cars was difficult due to the outbuilding and the stones on the grass to the right when you enter the yard are a pain because you cant really manoeuvre in the tight area, there was a lot to recommend about the cottage but disappointing in a few areas, the front door lock need to be looked at as the lock was difficult to open close, the microwave oven needs replaced, the cottage needs ventilation especially due to the kerosene boiler in the hall as the smell was very overpowering, the bed mattress in the single bed is to soft but that is possibly just a personal choice, the supply of towels was an issue as there was no spare towels and the cottage was needing a bit of TLC regarding cleanliness However overall it was a good location and the cottage was just needing a bit of TLC to bring it up to being a recommended property my comments may look petty but the small issues need addressing but we did have a lovely time, we can due to the small issues only give it and 7/10 score please remember it was just a list of small issues that needs addressing to make it a 10/10 and we would visit and use the cottage again

    Thank you for your feedback I am sorry you didn't see the letter i sent you explaining you could park in the paddock beside the French doors The Description also says there are only 2 Towels per person left in the cottage The door is a bit fiddley and i am waiting for the locksmith. I have replaced the microwave. Also just to say probably not a good idea to throw you left over takeaway over the adjoining paddock as it encourages vermin being close to a farm but luckily my husband was over watering plants and picked it all up I am pleased you enjoyed your holiday Property Owner

Outside this Wooler cottage is a large lawned garden complete with patio, furniture and barbecue, ideal for family entertaining, alfresco meals in the sun or enjoying a refreshing drink at the close of an activity-filled day.

A short drive from this Wooler cottage will take you to a very good family-run pub and restaurant, serving locally-sourced cuisine, and from the doorstep, the whole of the Northumberland National Park is just waiting to be discovered.

A little further afield are the delights of the Heritage Coast, where castles and golden beaches are plentiful.

About the location

WOOLER

Berwick-upon-Tweed 16 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Alnwick 18 miles.

Wooler is a delightful, historic market town on the banks of the River Till, one of the tributaries of the Tweed, nestling in the foothills of the Cheviots which form part of the Pennine Way. Known locally as 'The Gateway to The Cheviots', Wooler has a selection of hotels and eating places and offers a magnificent location for exploring the whole of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Situated on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, Wooler is just a short drive away from the historic town of Alnwick with its famous Castle and Gardens, and the well preserved Garrison town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Chillingham Castle with its ancient herd of wild white cattle and Coldstream, just over the Scottish border, are also a short drive away.
