"An excellent base from which to explore Northumberland, the Durham Dales and maybe further afield."
A comfortable cottage of character with helpful owners who live adjacent. Close to the fine towns of Hexham & Corbridge. Good value for money.
-
"A very interesting cottage in a beautiful setting overlooking the Tyne Valley."
Well equipped but would benefit from a small freezer and dishwasher. Weather was glorious but still needed log fire in the evening. The most comfortable bed ever in the beautiful bedroom. Our main issue was parking. The entrance gate is very narrow and I damaged my brand new car
-
"I had an accident while there and can only say how nice and helpful the owners were to help me."
The cottage has great views and a super fire. The stars were amazing away from the city, I haven’t seen them like that since I was a child. I would recommend it really highly.
-
"The cottage was wonderful, cozy and warm with a very comfy bed, just right for long lie ins."
A special place in a special county. New favourite HAPPY place. .

"Lovely, cozy place with super hosts - friendly and thoughtful, anticipating what we might need."

"We had a fantastic week in West Wing cottage despite the weather not being the best we had hoped for, however we still managed to get out and about to explore the area."
The cottage had everything we needed & the location was perfect being away from town, but only a short drive away. Owners next door were really friendly & helpful plus we very much appreciated the welcome pack. As a couple of reviews have mentioned, an upgraded TV with Netflix etc would be a good addition as we were only able to get 2 channels on the existing one and in the end used our IPad instead. However this is a very minor issue in what otherwise was a delightful stay,

"It's a charming and unusual cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
It was a shame that the weather was so unseasonal. For early July it felt more like mid-winter with howling gales and lashing rain. But we were cosy and snug inside.
-
"An exceptional property, maintained to a high standard."
The welcome basket of wine, crisps and biscuits was very nice. There were some lovely, additional touches - good quality hand wash, body wash and lotion; linen and towels provided. It was a real pleasure to stay.

"Location excellent cottage very homely ."
Will stay again relaxing holiday.

The owners had gone above expectations providing a lovely welcome hamper and very pretty Christmas decorations. The accommodation was perfect for us as a couple with a small dog and the location is excellent for visiting Hadrian’s Wall and wider Northumberland and Cumbria.

"Lovely historic cottage with a colourful front garden."
Well equipped for two people, cosy lounge and a bright bedroom. Good to be able to park off the road. Set in a rural area but a very short distance from Historic Hexham and Corbridge. An ideal location to visit Hadrian's wall and the Tyne valley.

"Adrian & Linda seemed to have thought of everything !"
We'd be happy to go there again. Everyone we met in the village was cheerful & helpful.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Property Owner

"Blessed with the weather but nevertheless a wonderful relaxing week in beautiful Northumberland in a characterful property."
Great scenery and bike rides and an unexpected night at the races.
-
"We were disappointed that there was no freezer at the property as I had fresh dog food and food cooked for my daughter and myself."
I think 2 single beds would be an improvement as not all couple want to sleep in the same bed. The couple who own the cottage were lovely. A welcome basket was left for us and 2 Easter eggs. The cottage is set in a lovely part of the world and we loved the walks in the forest with the dogs
Hi Christine and Nicola, I'm glad you and your daughter enjoyed your welcome basket and Easter Eggs, and your walks down in the forest with your dogs. I am sorry about the freezer situation, but in the description of our cottage it does only say 'fridge' (with ice compartment). We have found having a double bed has been ok with previous guests, and have just recently replaced it with the new feature double bed - photographs and description in the property details describe this also.

"We had a great time as West Wing Cottage."
My partner and I would like to thank Linda and Adrian for the lovely little touches, including a welcome gift for both us and our dogs. It was a lovely surprise. The cottage was so cosy, everything we wanted our Christmas to be. Would highly recommend!

Thank you
-
"Extremely helpful host, lots of tips on parking, dog walks, dog friendly cafes etc Peaceful location with a lovely view from the bedroom."
.A very clean, thoughtfully equipped cottage. The only problem for us was the too soft mattress which gave us both backache, otherwise a great little property, full of history. Would recommend.
-
"My husband and I had a lovely time at West Wing along with our two cockapoos."
This is a lovely place for two to unwind. The welcome goodies were a really nice touch and coming home to a garden lit by fairy lights in the dusk was magical. We have just booked our second stay for November. Thank you

We were delightfully surprised by a hamper, a present to celebrate the queen's jubilee and treats for our Yorkshire terrier. We stayed for 5 nights and would be happy to return there without hesitation.

"Fascinating Bastle house with sweeping countryside views across to Hexham."
A lovely escape spot in beautiful surroundings, the cottage was spacious and had everything I needed. Loads of walking and sightseeing in this stunning area then a pretty garden to sit out in or a log-burning stove to get going on return to the cottage. The welcome hamper treats were much appreciated too.

"A wonderful character property with so much attention to detail."
Great location. Fire kept us lovely and warm in the chilly November temperatures. Welcome goodies and a warm welcome from the owners in person. Highly recommend.
-
"We were delighted with this pretty and unique accommodation and in the standard of it all."
It was warm, the bed with its beautiful bedding was SO comfy We slept like babies! We particularly liked the recently installed bath that has handles and a grab for the shower... Too many accommodation providers are installing trendy high sided baths that are not safe for so many visitors. Everything was gleaming clean. We liked the parking inside the gate and the pretty garden that was secure for our dog who enjoyed his daily walks nearby. The whole area has so much to offer with nearby coffee house and eateries... The owners are so welcoming and provided treats for both us and our dog so we have no hesitation in recommending!
Thank you for your lovely comments, and so glad you had a nice time! It was good to meet you, and hope to welcome you back . Kind wishes Property Owner

"This was a beautiful little gem and the perfect weekend escape."
It was cosy and and warm, the owners were close by for anything we needed and the surrounding space is perfect for dog walks right from your front door. I had read that there are some WiFi issues which didn’t concern us too much, but it did mean that watching any TV was challenging as it just wouldn’t stream properly. There were also a few bits that we didn’t bring as we’d assumed they might be at the cottage like shower gel, and milk but we were able to go out and get those and to be fair they had left a couple of small bottles of Prosecco and some dog treats for buddy. We’ll definitely be back.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, and glad you had a nice time. Just to let you know that we have had new broadband installed, so hopefully the Internet/streaming bbbetterwillbetter Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at West Wing Cottage in June 2021."

"This was the perfect cottage in a perfect location."
Linda and Adrian have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and could not be more friendly and accommodating. We visited Kielder, Tyne Green Country Park, Hexham, Hadrian's Wall and Sycamore Gap and Corbridge during our stay, it just wasn't long enough to fit anymore in. It was also lovely to sit in the garden with a glass or 2 of wine, enjoying the glorious weather we had and the beautiful sunsets. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about staying in West Wing Cottage

"What a wonderful property!"
Everything we hoped for, and more. Idyllic location, and tastefully furnished throughout - we felt ‘at home’ instantly. The cottage makes an ideal base for exploring historic Northumberland and the national park, a region with so much to offer. Hexham is 10 minutes drive, while Kielder/Bamburgh are around an hour away. Our hosts were very thoughtful and accommodating, and it was clear to see the pride they have for their business. Highly recommended.

"The cottage was perfectly situated for exploring Hadrian Wall’s or going for walks in the beautiful countryside around."
The small towns of Hexham and Corbridge are nearby and worth visiting. Contact with the owners was easy and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. The cottage itself is cosy, very well equipped, with a wonderfully comfy bed, good sized bathroom and lovely kitchen / dining room.

Tastefully refurbished to provide a cosy retreat, this lovely cottage is accessed via an impressive front door which leads to the open plan living area; the small but well-equipped kitchen has all you need to rustle up a tasty meal and what could be nicer than curling up with a nightcap in front of the woodburning stove.
