Lovely place to stay.

Quiet and lots of wildlife about. Would recommend the area as it's so beautiful.

A very charming cottage in a beatiful location.

Not the most modern/up-to-date cottage, but the coziness and character completely make up for that. Nice to have a large collection of books, DVD's, games and jigsaw puzzles available, so even rainy days don't need to be boring. We didn't have a car, but Wooler with multiple supermarkets and other shops is only a short walk away (around 1 mile, a 20 minute walk). The cottage is literally at the foot of the Cheviot hills, making it an ideal starting point for many hikes.

Braeside is a small cottage located in High Humbleton, Wooler.

The reason for choosing this location was for the wonderful countryside views and the tranquility the area has to offer. Unfortunately, we found building work was going on at the cottage a few feet beside us. The the views were sadly of scaffolding, workers vans which not only blocked the views, but also blocked the entrance in and out of the cottage. This also impacted our privacy as the workers sat having lunch in vans staring into the cottage. There was also noise from the sight. Sadly we were not informed of the work going on. If we had we would have booked alternative accommodation. The cottage is a tad tired and neglected looking with plants growing completely over the front cottage windows, blocking the views and daylight. The bedding whilst clean, is tired and the small couch is most uncomfortable. This spoils the charm of the cottage. It was also very annoying with little tired notes plastered over the cottage of 'helpful tips'. These are better confined to a visitors instruction book. The garden was overgrown, so we didn't sit outside in the glorious weather. Not the best of stays.

Owner response:

I wasn't aware of the extent of the issues during your stay, as I was dealing with several close family bereavements at the time and no one contacted me directly to make me aware of the concerns. Had I known, I would have done my best to address them. These personal circumstances also affected my ability to manage the property as actively as I normally would. Sadly, my wife's son was one of the members who passed away, which has been an extremely difficult time for our family. As a result, my wife has not been able to maintain the garden to the standard she previously did, which contributed to it becoming more overgrown than usual and some general maintenance being overlooked. With regard to the nearby building works, these are related to the refurbishment of a neighboring cottage. Unfortunately, I was not informed in advance that the works would be taking place and only became aware of them when the builders arrived on site. The timing and nature of the works were therefore outside of my control. Since being made aware of the concerns, I have spoken with the contractors and have been advised that there will now be fewer vehicles on site and that any vehicles present should not impact the view. The notes around the cottage were intended to be helpful for guests, although I appreciate they may have been better presented in a visitor information folder. I appreciate your feedback and will take your comments on board moving forward.
