About this property
Situated in the delightful town of Wooler in Northumberland, is this lovely terrace cottage, 31 Peth Head, set over three floors in this pretty row of traditional stone built cottages. It is wonderfully suited to a family or couples, with its three floors of carefully decorated rooms and use of original features such as wooden beams. The property journey begins in the open-plan living space, with your eyes immediately darting to the striking teal sofas set around the electric fire and TV, a perfect place to spend a rainy evening, being warmed in front of the fire. Behind this is the dining table for four so you can share a meal with the family, cooked up in the pretty light and bright kitchen containing all the essential appliances you need, cleverly maximising the under-stair space.
At the top of the stairs on the first-floor is a handy cloakroom containing a WC, just across from the twin room which has storage space and a walk in wardrobe, a TV and a window with views out to the village and hills beyond, and benefiting from a vanity unit with basin and mirror in the corner, the understairs cupbaord on the first floor houses drying facilities. Continue up to the second floor when it's time to get some shut-eye and find the beautiful and spacious master bedroom, complete with floral curtains and matching cushions, along with solid wood furniture in-keeping with the property's vintage style, with an en-suite bathroom adjoining the room.
To the outside at the front of the house is a patio area with table and chairs, where you can sit out on a sunny evening for some alfresco dining. The town of Wooler is a great base location for keen walkers who are looking to make the most of the Northumberland countryside, and wanting to visit the Glendale, Cheviot Hills and Northumberland National Park for some fantastic walking and stunning scenery and views. To the east is the magnificent coastline of Northumberland which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with great trips to be had to Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Seahouses harbour, or the birdwatcher's paradise of The Farne Islands.
Whatever your reason for visiting this northern part of England, you will love coming home to 31 Peth Head every evening.

We had everything we needed and more.The biscuits and bottle were appreciated thank you. As were the bits and pieces left to make our stay easy. Loved the fact we could walk straight from the door to the shops or for a stroll out with the dog. All very convenient. Plenty of places to visit around the area. Thank you David and Sheila and hope to be back soon.

The cottage had everything you could need but some oven trays would be helpful. We found the beds very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space too. The parking space was a boon and the one minor issue we had was dealt with straight away. David and Sheila were very hospitable and the cottage was in a lovely village. We went to fry fry a couple of times(their fish and chips was sensational). We used the Anchor pub for a nice meal. Small menu but huge portions and very dog friendly. We visited lots of places during our stay and would recommend Beamish Living Museum as a great day out. All in all, we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful part of the country and would definately come back.
