Mrs Whittlesea
We had an excellent stay at Railway Cottage Retreat. The cottage is very well equipped and very clean and comfortable. Ideal location as within easy reach of all the major tourist sites such as Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne & Alnwick Castle. Good local facilities in Wooler and the superb Ad Gefrin Distillery. Railway Cottage Retreat definitely felt like a home away from home. Would highly recommend a stay here.
