A hidden gem in Wooler

The cottage is hidden away in the heart of Wooler village and is a great base for walks (I'd recommend the short walk to Wooler Common) and visits to local towns, beaches and attractions. It had ample parking and was comfortable for our family of 4. The cottage is well maintained and decorated beautifully and it felt like home for our stay. Communication with hosts was friendly, clear and efficient and check-in and out was easy.

Lovely weather, great comfortable, clean, well-appointed cottage in an area with access to The Cheviots for walking, the coast for restaurants like The Jolly Fisherman, castles and gardens aplenty, wildlife in abundance and first-class golf at The Roxburghe.Heaven on earth.

Lovely cottage in the centre of Wooler

We have stayed at these premises a number of times previously and have to say nothing has changed, still a lovely well set out cottage right in the centre of Wooler.Very clean and tidy, with everything you need for a short break or a longer stay. The host is very helpful and communicates well.If you book the cottage be sure to book the Italian in Wooler, it’s called Milan and it is very good, the best bit is it’s less than a 2 minute walk from the cottage!

Another excellent break

We have stayed at St Cuthberts Retreat a number of times now. The property is clean, well-appointed and we like the location, which is close to The Cheviots for hiking, has great golf in the area (The Roxburghe, Goswick, Linden Hall for example) and lots of interesting places to visit. In fact we always come away wishing we had more time there! Thoroughly recommended - we certainly intend to return.

Well furnished with good-sized rooms including handy utility room and good-sized downstairs cloakroom. Great location in the centre of Wooler with its own parking, though proximity to the church bells was problematic for one guest. Despite that, I'd definitely recommend.

Short stay in a lovely, homely cottage

The property was clean, fresh, comfortable, homely, spacious and comfortable. It was well located in the centre of the village of Wooler, yet was exceptionally quiet other than for the church clock striking hourly, which was quaint and no issue at all. Parking was very close to the property and away from thoroughfares. Lovely village within an easy car drive from many of the main centres and attractions of north Northumberland, a much overlooked yet beautiful county steeped in considerable history. I can't recommend Northumberland and this property enough!
