Stunning property
Superb townhouse,the best self catering property we have stayed at in the uk.Very well equipped and stocked with all the necessities for a staycation.Great location for exploring Northumberland and the Scottish Borders,so many day trips reachable within 90 minutes drive of the house.Cant recommend enough for a family break in this part of the country. Final word for the Milan restaurant in Wooler,absolute must if you're in the area.

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.

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.
