Another excellent break at Brae Cottage
While the weather wasn't kind to us, the cottage was a lovely place to stay - warm, clean with all the things we needed to be comfortable. We have stayed there on a number of occasions over the years and it has been consistently enjoyable. Wooler and the surrounding area kept us entertained, hiking and golfing, with a visit to the new distillery well worthwhile. No doubt we will return, all being well. We didn't find the leather suite in the lounge particularly comfortable, but that may be our old, stiff backs!

Well equipped and comfortable
Well equipped and comfortable cottage in a good location for exploring both coast and the Cheviot Hills. No garden, which was a shame. Small supermarket and several restaurants/cafes/take aways very close by.

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.
