The room was very comfortable, people friendly, the pub ambience good - I was happy to sit alone, the food on the whole very good. Minor gripes - an overly complicated towel heater which proved imposible to turn off and heated the entire room, a slightly too heavy duvet (but what can you forecast about early March?) and slightly undercooked poached eggs, which led to an unsolicited discount. Very convenient for where I needed to be.

A very well.appointed cottage in a brilliant location in the heart of Wooler. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The owner was always very responsive when we had any queries. All the main attractions in Northumberland are easily accessible from Wooler so it's a brilliant place to stay to explore this beautiful county. I can highly recommend this lovely property.

Lovely hotel and will definitely be returning. The restaurant was very good too! It was good that the room had a door out to a small terrace and the car park so I was able to use this to let the dog out.
