Smashing property with really good parking provision. Really in the middle of town but you'd never know; it's tucked away so sweetly. Property was very well appointed and furnished with thoughtful extras to ensure a comfortable stay. Thank you.

Another excellent break
We have stayed at St Cuthberts Retreat a number of times now. The property is clean, well-appointed and we like the location, which is close to The Cheviots for hiking, has great golf in the area (The Roxburghe, Goswick, Linden Hall for example) and lots of interesting places to visit. In fact we always come away wishing we had more time there! Thoroughly recommended - we certainly intend to return.

Would be difficult and unfair to offer any negative comments about this accommodation. Even better as a positive comment is the property does NOT allow Pets! Excellent. Additionally the private parking at the property is superb. I would definitely recommend and look forward to returning to the property in Wooler. Any further comments please refer to the 5 * ratings I have added.

Well-appointed cottage
Well furnished with good-sized rooms including handy utility room and good-sized downstairs cloakroom. Great location in the centre of Wooler with its own parking, though proximity to the church bells was problematic for one guest. Despite that, I'd definitely recommend.

Short stay in a lovely, homely cottage
The property was clean, fresh, comfortable, homely, spacious and comfortable. It was well located in the centre of the village of Wooler, yet was exceptionally quiet other than for the church clock striking hourly, which was quaint and no issue at all. Parking was very close to the property and away from thoroughfares. Lovely village within an easy car drive from many of the main centres and attractions of north Northumberland, a much overlooked yet beautiful county steeped in considerable history. I can't recommend Northumberland and this property enough!
