  • "Crag view is a lovely house and as appears on the booking."

    Great location for sight seeing lots of things around to do. Pub and shop within walking distance. Only a small shop so you would need to get things in elsewhere. Pub served fantastic food. Lots of walks great for dogs around too. House was clean, really warm and comfortable. Hot tub was great enjoyed watching the stars in it. Only down side could do with more cleaning products being available otherwise fantastic stay.

  • "We had a very restful weekend at this lovely cottage."

    It is well-equipped, very warm and we made good use of the hot tub. The enclosed rear garden was great for our dog too. We enjoyed a Sunday lunch at the nearby Bay Horse pub, and the post office is very handy for supplies. A lovely visit that we hope to repeat next year sometime.

  • "A delightful cottage with a secure garden and a fab hot tub."

    It's so well situated for visiting places. The wood burner was great when it was chilly. A curtain across the front door would add to that cosy feeling. We used the rear door and kept the front door locked as the road is quite fast, but really quiet in the evening. The A68 is a great road to drive. Lots of walks directly from the cottage, starting just behind the pub.

  • "Lovely presented cottage, the welcome pack was fabulous."

    Great communication with the owner prior. The hot tub was a hit, the village pub is a gem. Fab cottage. Just to note for future guests items such as washing up liquid etc are not provided, this wasn’t a problem. Fab walks in local area. Would definitely recommend.

  • "Be aware the cottage is on a busy A road, so kids and dogs need to be supervised when you open the front door."

    However, road noise is not a big issue. The local pub is excellent and offers a discount to those staying at Crag View. The owners provided a very generous welcome pack, although we would have happily swapped a tube of Pringles for an extra toilet roll!

    Reviewed by Rachel4.4Oct 2023

  • "Cottage was very comfortable and clean."

    There are some welcome additions, such as the hot tub and I loved having the slow cooker, so you could come home to a prepared meal. The sun room overlooking the garden was lovely. There is a pub within walking distance and the post office/shop, a few doors away was useful if you suddenly ran out of something and didn't want to travel to the nearest small town. Stunning walks on the doorstep. A few additions would make this 5 star, providing robes for the hot tub, providing cleaning products, (which most people replace as they use them up), and a few extras in the kitchen, (such as toast rack, measuring jug, butter dish and plastic storage tubs). We enjoyed our stay and are certain anyone else would too.

    Ideally located within a short walk of a great pub serving good food every evening with very welcoming staff. Hosts provided a very generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Bed extremely comfortable and we were not disturbed by any traffic noise. Lounge area had plenty of seating and as the accommodation was on one level we had no concern about our dog trying to go upstairs.

    This apart our stay was very enjoyable, the cottage is clean and has everything you need. People have mentioned traffic noise but to be honest, A, look where its located!

    The cottage was clean, well equipped and the furniture is so comfortable. Even struggled to get out of bed some mornings to explore the beautiful Northumberland, it was that cosy. Hot tub was so relaxing after long days out and well maintained by Paul who popped by every morning to check the water quality. The pub down the road, literally a 2 minute walk, is great. Very friendly, including dog friendly, and the food really good. Loved every minute of our stay and will be booking again in the near future. Thank you!

  • "The welcome pack was very much appreciated as the nearest supermarket would be in Hexham, nothing really local."

    The living area was clean and tidy and slightly unusual in layout with the toilet- bathroom being furthest away from the bedrooms. The outside paved area was uneven and slightly slippery path from the conservatory to the decked area due to moss and residue from the trees. The main concern outside was the uneven pathway due to what looked like tree roots raising the paving slabs.

  • "Really enjoyed our stay in an immaculately clean and welcoming cottage which was well equipped and very comfortable."

    The welcome pack was one of the best we have experienced and I must say the information pack left with where to go and what to do was great. The hot tub was maintained daily, but we were not disturbed at all by the owners. Overall everything was very good and I would recommend this cottage as a restful retreat within easy reach of all the lovely areas of Northumberland.

    The little garden and Hot tub are an additional gem. The welcome pack is beyond doubt the best we’ve ever had! The hosts are on hand whenever you need them and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent Hosts 5⭐️ Our only suggest would be to state in the Facilities that The “Smart TV” only provides Apps and has no basic channels live. You get used to it but it gives clarity to prospective clients.

  • "We have just come back from a week at Crag View and would echo what others have said about the cottage being both delightful and comfortable."

    The large, homely living room was lovely, and the kitchen was superbly equipped. The hot tub was a real treat at the end of the day, and spotlessly clean, whilst the secure enclosed garden was perfect for our small dog. That said, we were unprepared for (and not used to) the noise from the A68; HGV’s during the week and motorbikes at the weekend. For that reason, we will not be returning. If this cottage were away from the road, it would have been a 5 star review because everything else was just perfect. When we complained to Sykes that the photographs of "views across the fields" were a bit misleading as they cut off the road, the representative rather (un)helpfully said that it was our own fault for not doing our homework as the listing gives a link to Google Maps. So, don't be like us, do your homework. In our defence, our original booking somewhere else was cancelled by Sykes and Crag View was our only alternative option at short notice. If you don't mind road noise you will love this cottage.

A delightful, single-storey, stone-built cottage, situated in the seemingly timeless village of West Woodburn, opposite lush fields and farmland.

Renovated to a high standard, this lovely end-terrace property is spacious and comfortable, boasting light and airy living space for a couple or small family wanting to escape to peaceful Northumberland, while also being well-placed to discover the Northumberland National Park, coastline and Scottish Borders.

Entering the property from the rear entrance, you will find a well-equipped kitchen, with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and cooker for you to prepare meals for the group, which can be enjoyed in the dining room/sun room, a bright space which looks out onto the lovely garden.

The cosy sitting room has soft grey carpets, along with leather sofas and an armchair, placed around a coffee table and facing the stunning inglenook fireplace complete with warming woodburning stove, while the corner TV can provide added entertainment.

There are two double bedrooms with ample storage space, while one has fitted mirrored wardrobes, and a family bathroom with shower over bath completes the layout.

Outside there is off-road parking for one car and an enclosed reaer garden with a raised decking area, complete with hot tub and furniture, perfect for ending your day with a touch of luxury, along with a spacious lawn and further outdoor furniture, gathered around a delightful chiminea, ideal for staying toasty on a cooler evening outdoors.

West Woodburn provides a village pub and post office, while the nearby historic village of Otterburn, with its stunning views over the North Tyne Valley, is a haven for walkers and cyclists.

Head into the Northumberland National Park to find Kielder Forest and Water, superb for fishing, horse riding and nature watching.

Kielder Water and Forest Park, along with the adjoining Northumberland National Park, have been named as home to the largest area of protected night sky in Europe; the Dark Sky Park is the first of its kind in England, and one of largest in the world, while Kielder Observatory is a key visitor attraction.

One of Britain's most popular attractions, Hadrian's Wall, an English Heritage Site that stretches 73 miles between coasts, is just 15 minutes' drive from the property, while the lively city of Newcastle upon Tyne is within easy reach, home to shopping, eateries and bustling nightlife.

Drive up to the Scottish Borders for stunning countryside and attractions such as Melrose Abbey, Jedburgh Abbey, Castle Jail & Museum, Mary Queen of Scot's Visitors Centre, Neidpath Castle and Glentress Forest in Peebles and Floors Castle & Abbey, Kelso Abbey and Kelso Bridge in Kelso.

With so many opportunities for exploring on your doorstep, make Crag View your holiday base for a Northumberland getaway.
