  • "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.

    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. Property Owner

    ). The property was very well stocked with books, maps, DVD's etc.. There were also a number of nice touches to make the guests feel welcome.

  • "We have just had a delightful week in Braeside."

    The cottage was warm and comfortable with plenty of space for two of us and our dog. There were lots of little thoughtful touches like plenty of reading books and walk suggestions. The location is superb. We could walk straight out the door into the Cheviot hills and a variety of lovely walks. The nearest town, Wooler, was a pleasant 30 min walk away. And a 30 min car ride took us to Bamborough and the gorgeous coast.

  • "We have been many times to Braeside and come back because it’s such a beautiful cottage, with absolutely everything you need."

    Beautiful views and so peaceful and quiet yet just 1/2mile from Wooler which has lovely cafes etc. I highly recommend

  • "Braeside has a unique and excellent location for exploring from the back door or by short drives."

    Close enough to Wooler for all facilities. It is very quiet and with no light pollution, we saw the milky way! The cottage is quaint and mainly very good. Small issues being the sofa is past its best, the stairs are steep and the bedroom head height is as stated. low. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if you are a walker, this is the cottage.

  • "A very clean and well-equiped cottage with lots of local information provided."

    Comfortable bed and a good shower. Quiet and peaceful location with lovely walks on the doorstep. Great selection of books and DVDs. However, it is important to note that the stairs are steep and not suitable for a child or person with mobility issues. We found the couch uncomfy and thought it might be an idea to upgrade it. The ceiling in the upstairs bedroom is also very low (about 6 foot) which wasn’t a problem for us, but would be an issue for a taller person. Generally though, a pleasant stay, with lots to do in the area.

  • "The cottage is in a beautiful and quiet location."

    For us it was ideal as a base for lots of walks, some local and others along the coast. The cottage was clean and well presented, and we really enjoyed our stay.

  • "Just spent a wonderful week at Braeside."

    It is a lovely cottage set near the top of a single track road so it qualifies as being fairly remote despite only being a 5-10 minute drive back into Wooler. 100 yards up the lane leads you to beautiful walks on to Humbleton Hill, Wooler Common and beyond. Ideally situated for exploring this part of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. The cottage was very comfortable equipped with everything we needed to cook a few meals in. It has a small but pretty garden which can be made fairly secure if you have a dog (as we did). The welcome pack was also very welcome after a long drive from the Midlands. Would recommend.
