Bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean but the cushions on the lounge furniture left a lot to be desired. The lounge would definitely benefit from an update. Also I had to wash all the handles on the kitchen cupboards before using them as they were all a bit sticky and I had to go and buy matches in order to light the hob as the ignition switch was not working.

Happy Holiday

We have stayed in this lovely property several and and everything still looks like brand new. The beds are comfortable, the insulation meant the house stayed cool despite the temperature reaching nearly thirty and the situation of the house means access is easy to get to shops, cafes and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Thompson

Host profile image
I live in East Yorkshire, England and have enjoyed many wonderful family holidays with my family and friends in Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. I have owned this property since early 2015 and it enables me to spend more time in my favourite part of the world. I have made some unforgettable memories with family and friends. I look forward to welcoming you as our guests.
Sue Thompson.

Why they chose this property

I knew when I set eyes on this property it was perfect. It has been transformed it into a cosy and welcoming retreat and love its location. In the heart of the market town of Wooler with all its amenities yet within easy reach of the Scottish Borders and amazing beaches and national parks of Northumberland.

What makes this property unique

Brae Cottage is perfectly located to explore all that Northumberland has to offer. There are walks and cycle trails right from your doorstop that lead you into the heart of the Northumberland National Park. The St Cuthberts way that starts at Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders passes through the heart of Wooler and leads to Lindasfarne priory at Holy Island. At low tide you can drive the causeway and explore the ancient history, have a coffee at the pilgrims coffee house or pick up a bottle of mead at the Lindasfarne brewery.
The Northumberland coastline is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The beaches at Bamburgh and Beadnell bay are amongst our personal favourites but there are countless beaches to choose from. Take a boat trip from Seahouses to see the puffins at the Farne Islands.Being so close to the Scottish Borders there are an abundance of Castles to visit. Alnwick Castle is famed for Harry Potter and more recently Downton Abbey. You can also take in the stunning gardens and superbly crafted treehouse. Chillingham castle is within a 5 minute drive of the property and is reputed to be the most haunted in England. At the end of a day of adventuring return home to your lovely comfortable retreat.
