West House is only 15 miles from Berwick on Tweed, with a beautiful beach and plenty of shops and history. Northumberland is such a diverse and friendly county with the beautiful Heritage Coast only 15 miles to Bamburgh, with a cliff top castle from where you can follow the trail and take in the history, a lovely day trip. Holy Island Causeway is only 14 miles where the Lindisfarne Gospels were kept (check the tides). The location really is ideal for exploring in all directions of Northumberland and Scotland’s Border counties.

You can be hiking the Cheviot Hills in the morning and having a local beer in one of the nearby pubs on an evening. St Cuthbert’s Way walk passes via Wooler, a 62-mile route following the ancient pilgrimage route, followed by St Cuthbert and many other monks between Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in north Northumberland.

Great house, kitchen well equipped, clean , quality bedding and towels and in a lovely location. Outside area is relatively private for using the hot tub. Lounge very comfortable, nice log burner and the addition of the Bluetooth speaker was welcome. The only negative are the beds themselves. Whilst comfortable they are very creaky and noisy even when just turning over in your sleep. If the bed frames were replaced we’d happily give 5 stars for everything.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need, including a washing machine and dishwasher. The fire is perfect to sit in front of on a cold evening. The hot tub is just perfect for star gazing. The location couldn’t be better for the local shops, cafes and restaurants. Parking is convenient and easy. Owner is very contactable throughout the stay. A minor thing to note.. the stairs are exceptionally steep - if you are bringing young children please bring a stair gate. Overall, a fantastic stay we would love to return. Thank you.
