The house was spotlessly clean,well equipped with everything you should need, and more. The house itself is very well renovated with lovely decor and finishing touches. Situated in a very handy position for the shops and pubs. Wooler itself is a lovely little village and on a good distance to other villages in Northumberland. Would highly recommend

Spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Spacious and tidy and in tip top condition. We even managed to park two large cars around the back of the property! A brilliant stay in luxury accommodation, the dog loved the dog shower, such a treat for him to have warm water instead of a cold hose.

Everything you could need is provided. A beautiful welcome hamper is a fabulous touch. The owner was so attentive and responsive to a couple of questions we had. Highly recommend a stay at Glencoe you will not be disappointed.
