West House is only 15 miles from Berwick on Tweed, with a beautiful beach and plenty of shops and history. Northumberland is such a diverse and friendly county with the beautiful Heritage Coast only 15 miles to Bamburgh, with a cliff top castle from where you can follow the trail and take in the history, a lovely day trip.

This is a really stunning cosy wee cottage finished to a very high standard. The cottage had everything you require to do any sort of cooking which is so often not the case in a holiday cottage. The hot tub is really good and in a small private garden area behind the house. Wooler is a lovely village with a few descent pubs and cracking walks from the door. The Milk Bar is a must for outstanding ice cream and milk shakes. It is also only half an hour from the coast, Berwick and Alnwick.We had a cracking week in Wooler

West house is beautiful and in a lovely location. Wooler is a lovely small market town. Shout out to the Anchor Inn for great food and also Milan restaurant. We had a fantastic Sunday roast at The red Lion inn 10 mins drive. The house is very tastefully decorated, bedroom 2 and 3 are small though. The hot tub was a great bonus in very private garden area. (although after mid week maintenance it was turned down to 17deg 😱 so couldn’t use it that evening) All in all a great week in Wooler in West house.
