Guests say
West View is a beautifully presented cottage in a peaceful village setting, praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and high standard of cleanliness. Guests consistently highlight the well-equipped kitchen, lovely decor, and thoughtful touches throughout. The location is ideal for exploring Hadrian’s Wall and local walks, with a welcoming pub nearby. The enclosed garden is perfect for families and dogs. While a few minor maintenance points were noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Multiple reviews describe the property as spotlessly clean, pristine, and maintained to a high standard. Only one minor mention of loose toilet seats was noted, but this did not detract from the overall impression.
The cottage is praised for its quiet, central village location, proximity to a quality pub, and easy access to Hadrian’s Wall and local walks. The lack of a village shop is mentioned, but guests found this a minor inconvenience.
Guests frequently mention comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and a relaxing atmosphere. The living areas, log burner, and cinema room are highlighted as particularly enjoyable, contributing to a homely and restful stay.
The cottage is described as very well equipped, with modern appliances, a cinema room, and a secure garden. Minor suggestions include the addition of shaver sockets and toiletries, but overall, facilities exceed expectations.
Many guests appreciated the welcome packs, logs for the wood burner, and attentive communication from the host and caretaker. Please note that while gifts and welcome packs are mentioned, these are not guaranteed for every stay.

Such a lovely home set in a wonderful area. I found it difficult to pack my bags at the end of our stay. I have booked again for next year!

We enjoyed an excellent stay with our daughters(11&16) and family friends. Very well appointed/equipped accommodation, generous welcome package.We loved the village pub, which does excellent food and is literally less than a minutes walk from the cottage.Ideally located for Hadrian’s Wall, with all the main sites being within 25-35 mins drive.Already thinking about a return visit in 2027.
