Homildon Cottage - Four Bedroom House, Sleeps 8

Homildon Cottage is beautiful, a traditional and much loved holiday home on the fringe of the National Park with direct access onto a bridleway and St Cuthbert’s Way. This child and dog friendly property is very well equipped with four bedrooms accommodating eight guests. Interiors are beautiful -  the kitchen has an Aga, there’s a vintage wood burning stove in the sitting room and the sunny conservatory /dining room is perfect for chatting with a glass of wine over dinner. Step outside and lose yourself in the delightful garden - a lovely spot for breakfast with views to Homildon Hill.
The cottage is in a secluded spot, but not isolated, the village amenities are a short walk away in Wooler. A bridleway leads from the door into the National Park and the famous St Cuthbert's Way.
This is a designated Dark Sky Park where the only night light is from the moon and stars. Wildlife is excellent too, look out for wild goats, deer, peregrine, red grouse, ring ouzel, buzzards, ravens, kestrels and red squirrel. Fishing, golfing, riding available nearby. Visit historic houses, gardens, churches and castles or head off to the coast - a short drive away and stroll along the beautiful beaches.

"Well above par"
"Homildon Cottage" gives the distinct impression of being cared for and the owners must be commended for their effort to ensure visitors leave "Homildon" with happy memories and lasting impressions. This is a very well furnished holiday rental; clean throughout, and with a kitchen equipped to feed a passing army (of which there was no sign whilst we were there)! The garden at any time of day, is a joy to behold. Contact with manager (Karen) and owner (John) although minimal, received almost immediate response.Thanks to all who help provide such a high quality holiday experience

Beautiful location, very well equipped surpassed expectations!
Homildon Cottage was amazing. It was so well equipped, very homely and spotlessly clean. There was a gorgeous welcome pack waiting for us which was a lovely touch. We had an amazing stay and hope to return. Thank you.

Wonderful stay
This is our second time at Homildon Cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful place. The cottage is warm and comfortable and very well equipped . The position was perfect for ourselves and our 3 dogs. It feels like a much loved cottage and we appreciated all the extras , from the welcome pack to the teabags in the cupboard. Wifi worked find and we appreciated access to BBC IPlayer and other Apps on the TV which I think is new on last summer. What is particularly nice is that you can walk out the door onto the hills and miles of footpaths including St Cuthberts Way. Coast is nearby too and is wonderful- Holy Island and Bamburgh in particular. We took advantage of a Sainsbury delivery on arrival and it is possible -and not too arduous- to walk down to the shops in Wooler and back for top up groceries. We hope to return again.

Family holiday at Homildon
Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings. The cottage was spotless and beautifully presented with everything we could have needed (and more!). Also lots of space for the whole family, including two dogs. Was a perfect place to take our little girl for her first holiday. Thank you.

Thoughtful stay at Homildon
We had a fantastic time whilst staying at Homildon. The hosts were so thoughtful with little treats which we found on our arrival. The cottage is in a fantastic location close to a range of activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks/runs up Homildon Hill! Our boys made great use of the games room which in turn made our life very easy on an evening. My favourite was most definitely the Aga, I loved getting up on a morning and cooking on it! We definitely would love to stay again!

Best equipped cottage I've ever come across!
Great location, very comfortable cottage, It became a game to find something we needed that the cottage didn't have!

2 week summer family holiday
A brilliant location, right at the very edge of the National Park. Wooler is a 10-15 minute walk or 3 minute drive. Great location to use as a base to explore both the coast and inland sites; Hadrian's Wall, Rothbury etc The property has been very thoughtfully furnished, lots of guides, books and maps. Highly recommended

Beautiful location
Homildon Cottage is in a beautiful location and is extremely well equipped. The cottage is quietly situated next to the gate leading onto the Cheviot hills where there are miles of footpaths to follow. The welcome packs for ourselves and our dogs were much appreciated. There is plenty to do in the area and the coast at Bamburgh is an easy drive. We hope to return !

Homildon Cottage
Homildon Cottage situated in a very peaceful location, no traffic noise just accompanied by birdsong and sheep bleating. The cottage was very well appointed and comfortable. Any problems that we encountered were swiftly resolved by Stay Northumbria and the owner. All this helped us enjoy our re-visit to Northumbria after a number of years. Hopefully it will not be so long before we come again.

Enjoyable stay in a extremely comfortable homely cottage
We had 4 adults in our party and there was plenty of room for us all in this cottage. The beds were comfortable, the shower pressure good, kitchen the best equipped we've ever had (and we stay in a lot of selfcatering establishments). With the Aga the cottage would be so cosy in winter! It seemed a pity that we didn't need to use the enormous log burner either in the lounge - it all looked so welcoming. The cottage had good lay-out although there are steps up and down to most rooms which may present a problem for those less able. Plenty of brochures and information both on the cottage and the surrounding area. The conservatory was the best place to eat - the visiting rabbits and family of moorhens were great to watch in the lovely pretty garden. Easy access road and safe off-road parking. Easy to get onto the St.Cuthberts way for a late evening walk. Wooler close-by with good eating out - can recommend No1 Hotel and Wine Bar for a tapas meal plus Breeze for a lunch - both very friendly and food good. Just had an issue with the kitchen sink not draining - but this was quickly sorted. The keysafe also failed to lock when we were ready to leave but when we phoned rental company they were very friendly and told us where we should leave the key so we could start our journey home. All in all a good week and we would love to return soon.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful spot
A very beautiful spot right next to Humbleton Hill with the most amazing garden views. Clea, comfortable and well equipped accommodation perfect for families and just a short walk down to Wooler with its shops and very wonderful dairy ice cream cafe! Thoroughly recommended! Great location for exploring the National Park and the coastline and a peaceful, relaxing break!
