  Cottage is lovely.

  Seemed recently refurbished, immaculate, comfortable and clean. Lovely and spacious for two adults and a child plus two doggies. Bed comfy and everything and more you’d expect for a self catering cottage. Only negative was the Tankerville Arms itself. There is a menu online plus one was printed and left in cottage. Menu was very varied and sounded lovely so we had planned to eat there on the first night. Pub was empty when we arrived (tea time during the Easter weekend) and was told that the blackboard menu was all they had. 4 starters and 4 mains. Not the 3-4 page menu we had seen in website or that was left in our cottage. When we questioned this we were just told that was all they had. By this time my 5 year old son was starving so we ordered for him and went elsewhere. He didn’t eat much of the food, chips weren’t really cooked properly and he’s not usually fussy. I think the menu needs to be removed from the website and not printed and provided for guests as it’s misleading. We would definitely stay in cottages again but won’t be eating at the pub.

  The property was in a beautiful location- perfect for walking in the stunning national park with lots of trails to follow.

  The house comfortable and modern with everything we needed and the dishwasher was a welcome addition. There were only two of us but plenty of space for a family of 4. The bedding and towels were very clean and it smelled really fresh as you walked in. The bed was enormous and so comfy- we slept like a log! 4/5 stars as it wasn’t perfect if I’m being picky- there were no coat hooks; the oven was coming out as we opened the door; the shower leaked which left a patch of damp; and some of the bathroom fixings were wobbly. Having said that, those really are niggles- the parking was great, staff were really friendly; the bed was enormous with a really comfy mattress; stunning views and all the facilities you need; beautifully clean towels and bedding; lovely clean kitchen and cooking facilities; a lovely, warm and cosy place; and the restaurant right on your doorstep. Beautiful place and would happily return and will recommend to family and friends.

  The cottage is beautiful, homely and well maintained.

  It contains all we needed. Its location is excellent with regard to access to shops, walks and local attractions, though parking nearby may be more difficult in peak season. The owner provided flowers, wine and biscuits, which was much appreciated, and a basket of leaflets on local things to see and do. It is a pretty nearly perfect holiday home; the only things I would have liked are a lighter duvet (15 tog is heavy in May, even for Northumberland!) and a warning about the church clock chiming all the hours, as some may not mind this but it affected our sleep quite a lot - our problem, not the house's! Luckily there is a cosy back bedroom...

  My sister stayed in the Humbleton Cottage, along with her daughter and our mother (who has Alzheimer's and mobility issues), and brother + 2 dogs.

  This was arranged when my original booking in Melrose fell through due to the flooding of the National Trust property. This cottage in Wooler proved to be a very good alternative, arranged just before Christmas when the original booking was cancelled. Two very helpful ladies at Sykes assisted me in finding this alternative. It is right next to The Tankerville Arms and owned by the same people. I stayed with my family in The Tankerville Arms (booked directly) and Elaine, Paddy, and their team were very friendly. It made for a good Christmas as we were able to get together in the Inn. We will return I am sure and my sister will book the cottage again.

  Although comfortable enough accommodation it was very dated and lacked more modern amenities.

  Particularly disappointed with rubber hose attachment on bath taps as the shower. There was no reception either on arrival or departure for hand over of keys or registration details. I had to leave registration details in the letter box for later collection. (The lady on the phone was helpful however). There were no on site facilities - cafe, bar, the pool no longer exists etc and although we were a couple there were no amenities for children. The place was clean, however, and the bed was comfortable. The place needs some updating. It was convenient for touring the area. However, I do not think it was particularly good value for money.
