Cosy home with great views

Stunning house with everything you need for a home from home stay in Northumberland. Excellent location for exploring local area. Parking situation not ideal, you may have to park around the corner due to new double yellows on main road.

Perfect stay in perfect location

A stunning property and location. The photographs do not do it justice. It's a lovely accommodation with games, books and DVDs. Netflix kept our grandchildren happy. A great base for exploring Bamburgh, Alnwick and Warkworth castles as well as a breathtaking coastline.

Clean and well equipped.Only drawback was parking and having to carry all our kit up a long, slippery under foot path. Path was pebbles and flags, but both moved when you walked on them. Flags at the bottom were distanced for easy walking but at the top you had to walk on the pebbles as flags were too far apart & the pebbles were slippery even though they were dry.

We have all thoroughly enjoyed staying at this holiday home , it has everything & more that you need to make it a home from home . It’s immaculately clean & all fixtures and fittings are of a high standard. We were all so comfortable here and could of easily stayed longer . It’s a great base for visiting and Wooler itself is a lovely village . We would highly recommend Dovecote House !

Oh dear !

Parking on a busy road. Access 50m away. No cycle storage. Building work on terrace. Four beds on second floor. One bed and bathroom on first floor. Footpath though gardens of other properties leading to town. Property itself was nicely presented, clean and warm. Hosts are very helpful but as a holiday rental Dovecote House is really disappointing. There is only one entrance door. The terrace is not as represented and leads to a 3m unfenced sheer drop. Frying pan is dangerous. One hob light doesn’t work. We considered moving out. VBROs photos are a case of misrepresentation.

Everything you need for a relaxing long weekend, would have loved to stay longer. Great access to the coast by car, walks in all directions. Lots of lovely coffee shops and places to eat. Variety of shops in Wooler for all you might need. Comfy beds, fluffy soft towels, everything you need in the kitchen for a proper sit down dinner, even a gravy boat and dish.

Great Holiday home

We had a great holiday here, the kids loved the first floor living room and all the steps going down in the garden. I loved sitting on the patio at the front of the house which was quite private with views over the moors. The Co-Op round the corner was a bonus and the takeaway fish and chip shop. We were cosy comfortable and warm - good bathroom, large living area and everything to cook your own meals. Beds all warm and comfy. Great we would go again definately.

A clean, fresh and spacious house with lovely thoughtful extras.

We had a relaxing time in this comfortable property. The house looked nice in the online photos and was even brighter and more modern than expected. The property is very well placed for trips to the coast or inland to the National Park. We always got an on-road parking spot nearby. Wooler is a pleasant town to walk around and our kids loved the sweetie shop. In the house we had everything we needed and more. The games and DVDs and books were very welcome, as well as the treats left in the kitchen! I’d recommend it to other families as a great place to stay.

Excellent value for money.

By far the most spacious and well furnished accommodation we have stopped in with excellent scenic views of the countryside , 2 flights of stairs may be an issue for some but parking on the road a 1 minutes walk away we felt was not a problem. The coop and 2 takeaways where very handy being a short distance away.

Beautiful accommodation

I have rated properties 5* before but having stayed here this is most definitely 5*. Lots of space, spotlessly clean, kitchen has everything you need, lots of pots and pans. Only thing missing was a seive. Great location for exploring and highly recommended The Anchor. Friendly landlord and very reasonably priced good quality pub grub. Overall had a lovely stay.

Lovely house in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dovecote House. The property was perfect for us and was spotlessly clean. It was really close to the pleasant town of Wooler, and there was loads to do close by. The welcome pack is a really pleasant touch and much appreciated. We would highly recommend it as a great place to stay and would happily book it again.

Purdy week at Wooler

This place is a lovely home from home. Obviously renovated to a superb standard and with everything you could need. The hosts welcomed us with biscuits, wine, tea, coffee and milk and the place was pretty central for most things. Although parking is not directly outside, we never had any bother finding somewhere.

About the host

Hosted by Nicola Brock

Host profile image
We live in the south of Northumberland and have had a static caravan in Wooler for the last 10 years. When the opportunity came up to buy dovecote house we grabbed it with both hands. After 9 months of renovations, a lot longer than we expected, we're thrilled with the results.

Why they chose this property

When we first saw Dovecote House we feel in love with its character and the views. They always say you know the instant when you walk into a house and we had that feeling on our first viewing.
Our children have asked many times if we can move in and sometimes on a Sunday when we had been busy getting it ready we could have quite happily said yes. Hopefully our guests will feel the same way.
