A brilliant stay in the Old Forge, a lovely house with plenty of space for our family of 6 & dog. A lovely short walk into Wooler, pubs, shops & Milan Italian which was amazing! We had an issue with no hot water one evening which was swiftly sorted by the owner, brilliant service. Would definitely look to return. First time visit to Northumberland & we loved exploring some new places, lots more to see.
