“A lovely cottage.”

Very clean and comfortable. Right in the centre of Wooler. Quick to warm up after long days of walking in the cold!

Valerie September 2024

“Lovely cottage very close to the centre of Wooler.”

Very good welcome pack on arrival, contained lots of essentials as.well as treats, including for the dog. The garden is a haven for birds and was a very peaceful place to sit.

Tracy August 2024

“We had a really enjoyable stay at York Cottage.”

We had great communication from the cottage owner and brilliant local information provided. There were also some lovely treats waiting for us on our arrival, including treats for our dog. This was a very nice touch. It was a shame that the garden wasn’t very accessible due to steep and slippery steps and some wet weather but for us this was a very minor factor. The cottage is well equipped, very clean and well maintained. Thank you for a lovely week.

Helen June 2024

“Positives: The cottage is well equipped and decorated, with a range of lovely pictures on all walls.”

The double bed is extremely comfortable. The garden is very pleasant and would have been nice to use in better weather. The owner is kind and helpful, providing good local guides and calling before you stay. There's no parking outside, as made clear, but we parked round the corner as the suggested hotel car park nearby was always full. It's in a great location for local shops and countryside. Slight downsides: There was only one smallish bin for the whole house and the big mirror in the sitting room might be more use in the bathroom! A few cushions might add to the homeliness of the front room. The house was very cold downstairs, albeit in an unusually miserable June. The attractive garden could be improved even more with a little more weeding and some colour! There are poor recycling facilities in Wooler.

- Helen, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback. It's welcome. The cottage isn't usually cold as it has a good gas central heating system. It was switched on for your stay, but when you left we found it had been switched off. We hope you'll return to Wooler. Property Owner

“The same standard as our previous stay which was excellent.”

Nothing to complain about at all. Love the place and the locals are very friendly. Good central location for whatever interests you may have

Ian October 2023

“This is a great place to stay, the cottage is spacious and well equipped with a terraced garden to the rear, secure for your dog.”

The location is spot on as well, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Wooler and a great base for exploring the local area. The owners contacted us a week prior to our stay with info re the cottage and the local area. Highly recommended.

- Ian, October 2023
Valerie September 2023

“This house is in a great location in this lovely friendly market town.”

We were comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasant one. There is some lovely outside space,only regret our weather not always the best for breakfast or evening drinks or dinner on the patio. There are some exceptional areas close by for walking and some local places selling good food.

- Valerie, September 2023
Pamela September 2023

“We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday in York Cottage.”

Wooler is a quiet, friendly town with all the amenities you could want. It was ideally situated for us having country walks right on the doorstep but also easy access to the beautiful Northumberland coast. The cottage was very comfortable and very clean , a perfect place to relax after a day out. Thank you Jeff and Issie for all the useful information and for the delicious welcome gifts. We would definitely return to York cottage.

- Pamela, September 2023
Karen August 2023

“Lovely cottage ,communication from owner first class spotless and welcome package for us and our doggies which was very much appreciated.”

Parking not a issue as always a space literally around the corner . Garden did indeed have steep Steps to lower level but the enclosed patio area was lovely to sit and enjoy the view and bird life and was totally safe for our dogs to enjoy the sunshine . We were part of a larger family group that had booked Magpie cottage next door as well - the two together worked a treat . Much more affordable option than one big house. Would totally recommend and hope to return - many thanks.

- Karen, August 2023
Liz August 2023

“We definitely recommend this: a nice, well-equipped cottage in a central but quiet location; friendly and comprehensive communications from the owner and local contact; walks in the Cheviots straight out of the door; great local produce from the shops on the High St.”

Don't miss the ice-creams from Doddington Dairy Milk Bar!

- Liz, August 2023
Janet July 2023

“York cottage is a lovely well appointed property.”

A welcome pack of essentials was great after a long journey. The only downside was the very squeaky floorboards upstairs but we realise it is an old house! The garden would have been perfect to sit out in had it not rained so much!! Thanks to Jeff Issa and Belinda for all your help.

- Janet, July 2023
Jill May 2023

“We had a lovely week at York Cottage.”

Location was perfect to get to all the amenities in the village and beautiful drives and sceneries which ever direction we went. Cottage was spotlessly clean and everything we needed with a bonus of a lovely terrace garden ideal for us and our dogs. Can't wait to book up again. Thank you Jeff, Issey and Belinda for your kindness ❤️ x

Danny April 2023

“We loved the cottage - clean, comfy, cosy and full of character.”

We settled in quickly, all facilities very simple to understand and use. A generous and thoughtful welcome pack. Garden a delight too - We enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning and wine at dusk on the patio, entertained by the antics and songs of a variety of birds. Wooler a great location - for walks, shops, pubs with good choice of ales, friendly cafes, chatty locals and much more. Not far from lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Coldstream and flodden field. We will be back Maggie and Danny

“The cottage is easy to find in Wooler, located on a lane just off the High Street, & very well placed to explore the village and local area.”

The key is in a key safe & we parked outside to drop our things off & collected the parking agreement left inside to park at the no.1 hotel just a few yards down the lane. its just at the rear of the cottage's garden. The little car park Is gravelly, but its not noisy or busy & wont disturb. The cottage was absolutely spotless, a credit to the housekeeper who actually lived opposite. It was very old fashioned and could really do with upgrading. but it was comfortable and cosy, and we were warm when we needed to be. Had a clean and well equipped kitchen with brand new teatowels & cloths etc and a lovely welcome pack for us and the furry boys. Potential for the dining room to possibly have a bed settee in it, as only 2 bedrooms upstairs ? Lots of books & information provided to read up on the history of the area and what to see and do etc. The settte was really comfy as was the mattress on the double bed, one of the best we've slept on. We were aware it was a double when we booked, but was too small for us. So we put the two singles together in the other room to make a twin, which is an option & more comfortable room. Personally, the duvets were too thin in here for me & i felt still needed warmer ones for mid April, additional linens were provided. Some repairs are needed I have emailed the owner about, who was lovely in all correspondence, so I hope he takes these well meant as intended. They will prevent deterioration & improve the property & make stays more comfortable. The patio was too overgrown to sit out on. I would suggest it is fully cleared at the top, so you have more room & can fully enjoy the table & this area of an evening. The lower garden was far too overgrown to use, though the owner had prior apologised that it had been a struggle to cut due to the weather at this time of year. The steps down to it would not suit someone with any mobility issues or young children as described. Lots of birds to see. The bathroom had a brand new shower mat & towels provided but its in here that could probably do with the most attention. all linens were spotless. We turned the heating up for an hour on an evening or morning if we needed to, which was easy to do. Thoroughly recommend the sunday dinner in the no.1 hotel, one of the best we've had. Also had an amazing italian meal in Milan & the sandwich shop makes gorgeous if pricey sandwiches and scones to take out on your travels. All in all, we had a lovely stay in York cottage. The church bells still ring out and chime each hour which is a lovely sound from the past not often heard now. We were blessed with dry bright weather & it was a great base to explore the cheviot villages and also not that far from the coast. We love Northumberland. It's a home from home for us. Its just a beautiful stunning area and York cottage gave us place to lie our weary heads at a very reasonable price as northumberland is becoming increasingly expensive, especially pet friendly.

Janice April 2023

“Lovely cottage, very good for our dogs , the patio outside the kitchen door could maybe do with a good power wash as was a wee bit slippery, had a wee problem with netflix as while we were watching something on one of the five names they signed out and we couldn't get back on.”

Might of been our fault though as not very techy. Garden shrubs could do with a good trim back and it would be a lovely garden to sit in . Amazing welcome pack for humans and dogs . Comfy bed, sofa etc. Enjoyed doing the jigsaws. Brilliant walks and a lovely town apart from the Chinese being closed due to selling and waiting on new owners taking over. Fantastic pre holiday phone call from the owner with information on walks, eateries etc.

- Janice, April 2023
Lindsay October 2022

“Really helpful contact from Owner before arrival with reading material and recommendations.”

Lovely human and dog friendly welcome gifts. The photos don’t do it justice. Spacious yet cosy cottage in excellent location. Parking was not an issue, we could always get really close by.

“Very nice cottage, close to the town centre.”

No problem parking at the rear of the cottage although the space doesn’t belong to the cottage. Disposal of rubbish not a problem for one person but might be harder for a family. Lots of local walks and easy access to forestry, countryside etc.

- John, June 2022
Robert May 2022

“A lovely week in york cottage.”

Clean and tidy house in an excellent location. Easy free parking and everything we needed. Very helpful communication with the owner. Lots of wonderful places within easy reach, Bamburgh, Craster and Rothbury for example, and some lovely walks right from the cottage. Excellent Italian restaurant in the town. We will definitely be visiting again.

- Clare, April 2022
Nicola April 2022

“Lovely, comfortable well equipped townhouse in Wooler with a nice garden.”

Everything is on your doorstep including lots of lovely walks. Milan is a must! Local bakers, farm shop, sweet shop and butcher are great too and very friendly as are the pubs. Housekeeper left lovely welcome pack for us and our dog, scones were amazing! Jeff was extremely helpful. Would return.

- Nicola, April 2022

Derek October 2021

“The house was very clean, well equipped for self catering and just a few minutes walk from village shops, pubs and restaurants.”

The cottage was tastefully decorated and felt like a home from home. The sofa and bed were very comfortable. I would recommend to friends and family.

- Derek, October 2021
Michael October 2021

“Wonderful.cottage with lovely patio and garden.”

Just like home extremely clean and everything u could wish for. Beds so comfy with lovely lounge and kitchen. So impressed have booked next year. Geoff the owner a lovely man and very helpful and the lady who is housekeeper very friendly and helpful.

Deborah September 2021

“York House is in a great position for a first visit to Northumberland.”

We manage to pop to Bamburgh Castle, the Craft centre Coldstream the museum , Berwick upon tweed and Craigside the National trust property with a pleasant house and large grounds. If you look at google maps any area you see with good sandy beaches live up to if not exceed your expectations. The house itself is clean, comfortable and well equipped. Wooler has a bakery which is very convinient for picknicks and the holiday tradition of ignoring diets. I can recomend the steak pies. If you have never had battered fish cooked in dripping pop to Seahouses one portion with some chips is enough for 2 people. We were very fortunate with the weather and the information provided in the package at the house is great. Very happy holiday.

- Deborah, September 2021
Charlotte August 2021

“Great little cottage in the friendly town of Wooler.”

The cottage was clean and comfortable, and had all the facilities we required. The welcome pack was especially generous, and the owner was very helpful with regards to providing information about the local area and nearby sites. Would very much recommend.

- Charlotte, August 2021
Paul July 2021

“House was clean and well equipped, except that it has no dishwasher.”

The back garden is small but private and a nice additional touch. Weaknesses: - lack of bin collection is a bit of a nuisance but we worked around that - lack of dedicate parking - we thought this would be an issue because we were told off by a lady on the evening we arrived when we parked in the only nearby space we could find because it was outside someone's house (no restriction signs etc.) As it turned out we never had a problem after that parking round the corner, but it would be much better if there was some arrangement for people staying in the cottage to have a dedicated space.

- Paul, July 2021
David July 2021

“York Cottage was perfect in terms of its facilities and location close to the centre of the friendly town of Wooler.”

The garden was especially good for relaxing and eating, and our dog loved it too! We would also recommend this cottage for anyone looking for walks from the door and who loves spotting wildlife.

- David, July 2021
George June 2021

“We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.”

The welcome pack for ourselves and our dog was generous and much appreciated. The accommodation provided everything we needed with a very helpful lady who cleans the house nearby.

Joyce May 2021

“The cottage was very comfortable and clean, the beds we some of the best quality due to the quality of the mattress, only a 2 minute walk to the small town with everything you could need.”

The area is very central to some great walking and not far away from great places to visit.

- Joyce, May 2021
Diane May 2021

“The cottage was very comfortable, roomy, well-equipped and excellently located.”

The village of Wooler was an excellent base for exploring the Cheviots and Northumberland coast and has excellent facilities - shops, pubs, cafes, cake shops, takeaways and a Co-op supermarket open 7 days a week, all two minutes walk from the cottage. The owners made us feel very welcome, provided plenty of information about the locality and we were appreciative of the welcome pack of provisions. Much recommended.

“The cottage was really clean and a good system had been put in place to account for Covid-19, everything was thoroughly cleaned and rotated between guests.”

Pre-stay information from the owners was really useful. Wooler has a Co-op and for a small town it has plenty of places to get food. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay, and it was well located for exploring the area. We did some nice local walks, visited the coast, and plenty of other attractions including Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, Hadrians Wall, Alnwick Gardens, and Berwick.

- Helen, August 2020
Adam August 2020

“In the time that Covid-19 Is gripping hold of the country, I was very nervous in taking my young family to an unknown home.”

I was pleasantly surprised by the degree of cleanliness and care which put me and my family at ease immediately. We had a wonderful time and am sure that we will try and return again. The owners, Jeff and Issie were very pleasant and helpful beyond my expectations. Thank you very much.

“The cottage isn't pretty from the front but the outlook from the back of the house is beautiful.”

There is a beautiful small patio leading to a lovely established garden full of birds. It is superbly located and was just perfect for the two of us and our two labradors. The high street is one minute away, the supermarket about the same and a recreation ground for early and late walks with the dogs just moments away. The house was warm with lots of hot water, well equipped and spacious. Wooler is a lovely little place and there are some super walks either from the cottage or a short drive away. We had just stayed in Alnwick for a week, which was fabulous with lots of walks around and about and beautiful coastline to enjoy. It was good to have a two location holiday. We loved the cottage, the town and the area. Definitely will be back

- Kathleen, June 2019

Lee April 2019

“It is a good job I am not the sort of person who looks for the slightest little thing to complain about, as I would be disappointed.”

York cottage is a lovely little place in a lovely little village, it is well equipped, and very comfortable, beautiful views out of the back windows and from the garden. It made a great base for us to explore Northumbria, and we found the local shop owners very friendly, helpful and polite. One word of advice, when Jeff the owner tells you the Chinese does big portions, he means BIG portions. We do plan return to Wooler in a few years and we hope York cottage will still be available, as it will be the first place we look at. By the way Jeff, I was sorely tempted to take that shower home with us, it's much better than the one we have at home.

“Beautiful spacious holiday home a stones throw from the charming village centre which comprises of pubs, restaurants and shops.”

Everything you could need in the house (including a welcome pack of scones, fruit, butter, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and orange juice!) and exceptionally clean too, the owner was attentive (but not obtrusively so) and full of local info. Thanks for a wonderful stay! We couldn't have asked for more for the money!

“Lovely cottage with an excellent welcome pack including for the dog.”

Wooler is well situated for good walks and exploring the surrounding area. The cottage was well equipped and had a good garden for relaxing in. We visited Bamburgh Berwick Holy Island Farne Islands and other places on the coast. Inland we walked in the Cheviot. We were blessed with glorious weather. I would recommend this cottage.

"WOOLER " VILLAGE IS FULL OF PUBS AND A FAB CHIPPY, NICE SHOPS AND BAKERIES WITH MOUTHWATERING CAKES AND HOME BAKED BREADS. WE WILL CERTAINLY BE BACK SO HERE`S TO THE NEXT TIME!!!!

Linda May 2018

“The cottage was immaculate.”

I found the tv a let down when trying to look at listing of what was on. This is just personal preference but I felt I was in a goldfish bowl at the sitting room front window and would definitely consider this house again if a net or something was there. I fully appreciate that everyone probably would not feel the same. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise.

A lovely p k ace tostay.

- Adrian, April 2018
Marion March 2018

“Our disappointment is not specifically aimed at Sykes, but at the owner of York Cottage.”

Mr Milburn probably labours under the illusion that everything is fine! Rubbish disposal was onerous - only one (small) receptacle in the whole house, and that was an ‘open’ bin in the kitchen not a peddle bin. Then we had to take the bag to a public street bin! Only one toilet roll supplied. All beds were most uncomfortable. The television was extremely poor quality and the freeview not fully functional. However the biggest concern relates to the heating. Our arrival was expected any time after 3pm, we arrived approximately 4.30. It was extremely cold and the heating control was still at 12 degrees! We immediately turned this to 23 degrees - it took THREE days to warm the whole house! The outside temperature on arrival was only 3 degrees, but a local resident was retained to manage and clean the property, so we expected that she would make sure the property was welcoming. Over many years we have rented holiday accommodation and never been as disappointed as we were with York Cottage.

- Marion, March 2018
John March 2018

“Excellent cottage , well located in the centre of the town , very close to all facilities .”

The owners are very obliging and maintain good contact with you offering good advice for those not familiar with the area . The cottage is well maintained and has all the requirements you need to enjoy your stay . It .is ideally placed for exploring the Cheviot Hills / Scottish Lowlands /. Flodden / Northumbrian coast eg Farnes , Alnwick Castle , Holy Island ....the list is endless . All in all an excellent well equipped cottage .

Jennie February 2018

“It was a lovely market town, perfect for going out for a drink -there were some good pubs.”

The Italian restaurant (Milan) served beautiful food and they were also very accommodating with our two year old daughter. The cottage was clean and well equipped, just a stones throw from the town centre.

“The welcome we received from Belinda, the caretaker, was very warm.”

The cottage was very clean indeed; the "welcome" basket was a lovely touch, containing all the essentials needed on arrival, including treats for the dog! There were fresh cut flowers in the living room. It was different to our normal holidays, which is the only reason we say we would not re-book. We will certainly recommend it to others.

“This was our first experience of a holiday cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Instructions for using the central heating and the gas fire were clear and easy, and as soon as all our bags were in we were all cosy in the lovely little lounge. The bookshelves were filled with something for anyone, young or older, including beautiful guide books to the area. We were all warm comfortable and slept well. York Cottage is just off the main street in Wooler, set in beautiful countryside and was a lovely base for us to go exploring Northumbria. We would definitely go back.

“A very pleasant cottage would book again if staying in the area.”

Probably try to book again next year. All the facilities were excellent. I would certainly recommend this cottage to friends & family.
