Gordon April 2024

“A really wonderful and peaceful setting and a great place to recharge the batteries.”

Although at first glance it may seem out on a limb we found it ideal for the parts of Northumberland we wished to revisit and new ones to discover. All in all one of the best and perhaps the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

- Gordon, April 2024
Peter March 2024

“Lovely cottage with friendly and helpful hosts.”

The EV charger made things a lot easier rather than having to hunt around for one. Within walking range of a shop and a pub but being on the edge of the village it's in a very quiet location.

- Peter, March 2024
Gerhard November 2023

“As the owner of an electric vehicle, it was good to know that the property boasts its own electric charging wallbox, as the electric chargers in the vicinity are not particularly numerous.”

- Gerhard, November 2023
Robert September 2023

“Our first time in Northumberland, The walking was great, the cottage one of the best we have stayed in, everything was top quality.”

The owner Hugo came and welcomed us, we did not meet his wife Annabelle. The welcome pack was very nice and the home made marmalade the best we have ever tasted. We hope to be back. A word of caution, fueling stations are few and far between, so if you are getting a bit low, fill up in Hexham or Corbridge. Robert and Sandra Hird.

“An absolute gem!”

You cannot go wrong by staying here. The Garden Room is perfect in every way. It’s a real little bolt hole. It’s perfectly furnished and every little detail has been thought of. It’s peaceful and if you like seeing birds close up there will be plenty in the garden! It’s ideally situated to visit many interesting places. Highly recommended.

- Sara, August 2023
Terri July 2023

Plenty of good walks from the door. Several bird feeders provide good views of a wide variety of birds. Kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed.

- Terri, July 2023
Alison June 2023

“We found the property welcoming and comfortable- very clean and well maintained.”

When we experienced an issue with the hot water it was sorted out quickly. Bird feeders hanging by the windows enabled us to see the huge range of garden birds. The home made bread and marmalade were a lovely touch and we really enjoyed our stay.

- Alison, June 2023
Elisabeth May 2023

The cottage is very comfortable and compact.It provides all the facilities needed for a self catering holiday.Very tastefully furnished.Underfloor heating ensures a comfortable feel to the cottage.

John August 2022

“Absolutely lovely, we could not have wished for anywhere better.”

Just so perfect and welcoming with lots of wonderful touches. Annabel and Hugh are amazing hosts, I can honestly say I have not enjoyed my time away so much as this for a long time. I have to say I would truly recommend this amazing place but only if the time we want it for us in the future is still available!!! Thank you Annabel and Hugh for everything. I feel honoured to have met both of you and your son Harry who is exceptional, unfortunately we didn't meet Ben but hopefully we can put that right on a future visit. Thank you so much

“We loved the Garden Room the moment we arrived, for the spacious interior, the tranquil location and the nice touches - fresh bread plus duck and hens eggs from the owners garden.”

Highly recommended!

- John, July 2022
Lesley July 2022

“A 5 star rated cottage due to it's location, comfort, cleanliness and high quality fittings and furniture.”

The home made gifts were kind and thoughtful and we felt that our hosts were on hand for any questions or queries that we may have had. Although there was only a small garden area there were many hanging bird feeders that attracted a variety of birds. It was a very quiet, peaceful property.

- Lesley, July 2022
Douglas July 2022

“Everything we expected and more, delightful cottage and area.”

- Douglas, July 2022
Yvonne June 2022

“What a lovely property, very comfortable, super garden to look out on.”

Being birdwatchers it was ideal ,so peaceful Seeing the birds so close on the feeders was great.The area was stunning, hardly any traffic on the roads. Owners very helpful, we would strongly recommend this property.

- Yvonne, June 2022
Steven May 2022

“One of the best cottages we have stayed in - quiet, cosy, well equipped and a real home from home.”

We particularly enjoyed the bird feeders in the gardens - so many different birds! The big bed is super comfortable and the log effect fire made the cottage even more cosy when coming home after a day walking in the rain (even though it was June!!). A really refreshing break which was just what we needed.

- Steven, May 2022
James May 2022

“We intend coming back next year.”

Only one niggle. The crockery is very good but very little of it is marked as either dishwasher safe or Microwave safe. We erred on the side of caution and did lots of hand washing of crockery.

- James, May 2022
Alan March 2022

“We had week's break at the end of March and the cottage was all that we could wish for.”

It was very comfortable and cosy (the underfloor heating did a very good job of keeping us warm!). The facilities were excellent and every aspect had been very well thought out and top quality. The location is wonderful for walks - we did three from the door. We didn't venture too far but Hexham,Corbridge and Hadrian's Wall were very close by. Bellingham and Elsdon were interesting and worth a visit..We wouldn't hesitate to recommend 10/10

- Alan, March 2022
Rob March 2022

“This was the best cottage we have stayed in.”

It’s in a beautiful quiet area and we liked the privacy. It is tastefully decorated and furnished with a very comfortable superking bed (very important to us) with lovely pillows and bed linen. Immaculately clean and well equipped The separate storage area was useful too. Very nice extra touches were the delicious homemade bread, eggs and flowers. Also the bird feeders positioned so we could enjoy seeing the birds feeding. We had a thoroughly nice stay

- Rob, March 2022
Lucy February 2022

“We had the most wonderful 7 night stay at the Garden Room watching the wildlife out of the windows and enjoying the facilities of the cottage.”

It was equipped with everything you could need and was always toasty warm with plenty of hot water despite 2 named storms coming our way! Annabelle and Hugo were excellent hosts who left lovely little extras on our arrival such as home made bread and fresh eggs from their chickens. Hugo even popped round with some torches the night of the storm in case the power failed - which it didn’t. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and already miss counting the different species of birds from the window whilst eating our breakfast. Thanks again Hugo and Annabelle for a truly relaxing and magical stay.

Very quiet area but only a short walk to the local pub and shop, tourist attractions were easily accessible by car.

- Caroline, October 2021
Jane September 2021

Although it is a short drive to local facilities, this is more than compensated for by the peace and tranquility of the cottage.

- Jane, September 2021

Photos do not do the garden room justice. Beautiful accommodation in lovely part of the country.

- Martyn, September 2021

“The tranquility of the garden room was just what we needed.”

The outdoor space is small but perfectly formed and an ideal place for cocktails and snacks or coffee: the photos don't do it justice. The cottage is very well appointed.

The Garden Room is a haven of peace and tranquility set in an ideal location. The hosts are very helpful without being too pushy.

“We had a terrific week at Garden Cottage and enjoyed our visit tremendously.”

The owners are extremely welcoming and their property a delight for a relaxing and comfortable break. An excellent base for exploring further afield, but equally we enjoyed local walks to enjoy the area’s beautiful scenery and peacefulness. We hope to return very soon. Thanks so much Hugo and Annabelle.

Ian October 2020

“We couldn't of asked for a more beautiful and peaceful holiday.”

Although small, a lot of thought has gone into the Cottages design and facilities and the decor and furnishings are excellent. Stunning views of the surrounding countryside by day and amazing views of the stars by night. An ideal base for enjoying Northumberland - We will definitely return! Mr Young, November 2020.

Sandi September 2020

“What a wonderful location and base for a holiday.”

The Garden Room at West Woodburn is as beautiful as the website suggests. We loved the decor; the furnishings were as comfortable as they looked; thought has gone into all aspects of the offering from fresh flowers to the coffee machine and infromation leaflets on local walks, pubs and other amenities. The host was incredibly patient and ensured that all our questions were answered. it was peaceful, the nights were dark and the bed comfortable - all equalled some very, very good night sleeps!

- Sandi, September 2020
Michael September 2020

“We chose rural Northumberland because of its 'Dark Sky' status, light pollution spoiling the view of the night sky where we live.”

The cottage's situation was ideal, as it is not even in the village of West Woodburn, being almost half-way to East Woodburn. And we had one night of clear skies, so spent a magical half an hour or more sitting outside in the dark that evening looking at the stars, satellites and meteorites..

- Michael, September 2020
Peter September 2020

“We enjoyed the place very much.”

Why we marked the facilities slightly down was due to the fact there was no wardrobe, and we had to have some clothes on hangers on some hooks. We brought this to the very helpful owners attention and were going to rectify the matter.

- Peter, September 2020
Simon August 2020

“This was without doubt, the best appointed and most comfortable cottage that we have had.”

Great location and helpfull owners.

- Simon, August 2020
Robin March 2020

“A very cosy comfortable cottage.”

Very nicely appointed and practically brand new. Information from the owners was very comprehensive and useful. Local area is very nice with Hadrians wall and Kielder water and forest easily accessible. The area is a dark skies area and that makes star watching great and Kielder has its own observatory open to visitors. A great place to spend time. Easy access to the Scottish borders as well. The facilities in the cottage are very well done and there is a very comfortable bed. The cottage is not big but that makes it very cosy. All in a very good cottage.
