Description

Perched in the historic market town of Wooler, Northumberland, is this spacious semi-detached dormer bungalow, Compass Cottage.

Enjoying a superb location at the top of a hill near the Northumberland National Park and within easy reach of the Cheviots, Compass Cottage is a fantastic choice for a group or family of six.

The property benefits from roadside parking, a lovely front garden, and a generous, rear enclosed garden with a beautiful outlook.

On the ground floor, you will find a well-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up tasty dishes, ready to enjoy in the dining room at the table for six in front of the electric woodburning stove, along with an inviting sitting room, featuring plush sofas, a Smart TV and an open fire, perfect for enjoying relaxing evenings with loved ones.

Completing the ground floor is a shower room, where you can freshen up in the walk in shower, before retiring to the first floor to catch your rest in one of three well-presented bedrooms, two king-size and a twin.

Explore the town, where you can treat your loved ones to fresh Italian cuisine at Milan, hearty breakfasts at Ramblers and hearty pub fare and local ales at The Anchor Inn and The Riverside Bar, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, or enjoy wildlife rich walks through Wooler Common.

From here, you can easily venture into the stunning surroundings of the Northumberland National Park, where you can hike through the Cheviots, visit Linhope Spout Waterfall, or explore further to Hadrian’s Wall and Kielder Forest.

Continue onto Berwick-upon-Tweed, where you can spend a day at the beach, test out your clubs at the excellent golf club or take a boat trip along the River Tweed.

Further afield, you’ll find Alnwick, home to a famous castle which appeared in the Harry Potter film series, the Bailiffgate Museum, and The Alnwick Playhouse.

The coast is around a 25 minute drive away where you can visit Holy Island, Holy Island is home to Lindisfarne Priory, one of the most important centres of early Christianity in Anglo Saxon England, the island is now a popular tourist attraction with many visitors making a pilgrimage to the priory or following in the footsteps of the monks along St Cuthbert’s Way.

Compass Cottage was fantastic holiday let.

It has everything you need and some. Everything works fine, the decor is great, and it is perfectly functional. There are even some hidden extras such as board games, DVDs and books. It's location in Wooler is very handy in terms of access to the town centre, which is only a 5-minute walk. Overall highly recommended and it was a pleasure communicating with the owner.

Compass Cottage is a home from home!

We loved the comfort, cleanliness, facilities, location, views and furnishings. The welcome pack was delightful! Thanks to Paul and Claire for creating such a wonderful place; we wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Wooler is a great base to see the best of this area, from the Cheviot Hills to the beautiful coast, and the castles to the country houses. We’re missing it already!

An absolute gem of a holiday cottage in a great location for exploring Northumberland land and the Borders.

We stayed for a week in mid-April with our three young kids. The cottage was well equipped, warm, and spotlessly clean. Would recommend highly and will definitely return!
