Wooler is a charming, mediaeval market town nestled in the foothills of the Cheviots, which form part of the Pennine Way, on the banks of the River Till, one of the Tweed's tributaries. Wooler, dubbed "The Gateway to the Cheviots" by locals, features a variety of hotels and restaurants, as well as a fantastic position for visiting Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Wooler is a short drive from the historic town of Alnwick, with its famed Castle and Gardens, and the well-preserved Garrison town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, both of which are located on the fringe of the Northumberland National Park.

Great location and spacious. There were a few things that needed attention, but it didn't impact on our holiday.

The sofas were a bit short in the leg, but then I am quite tall!! Everything was there that we needed! Had a couple of nice meals in the pub next door, very handy when we didnât fancy cooking or had had a long day out! Good location, lots to see locally or further awayâ¦..we had a couple of trips to Edinburgh, one was to visit HMY Britannia, well worth it!

The accommodation was well equipped everything you need for a weeks holiday. It was very clean and cosy. The extra king size bed was very comfortable. We visited the Tankerville hotel and was greeted by a friendly lady who was very welcoming. We dined at the hotel and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend staying at the Yeavering
