Guests say
West House in Wooler receives glowing praise for its beautiful decor, high standard of cleanliness, and excellent location in the heart of the town. Guests particularly appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy living spaces, and the private hot tub, which adds a touch of luxury. The property is ideally situated for exploring Northumberland and is dog-friendly. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few guests mention compact bedrooms, creaky or uncomfortable mattresses, and the lack of a banister on the stairs. Overall, West House is highly recommended for a comfortable and memorable stay.
Cleanliness is consistently highlighted as a standout feature, with multiple guests describing the property as spotless, immaculate, and extremely clean. Only positive remarks are made regarding the standard of cleanliness throughout the house.

Guests find the cottage cosy, welcoming, and comfortable, with high-quality furnishings and bedding. However, several reviews mention small bedrooms and issues with mattresses or creaky beds, which slightly impacts the overall comfort score.
Facilities such as the well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, log burner, and private garden are highly valued by guests. Minor maintenance issues are noted, such as worn mattresses and the absence of a banister, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, treats, and clear instructions, which enhance their stay. Please note that while gifts and extras are appreciated by previous guests, they cannot be guaranteed for all bookings.

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
