Railway cottage is a very cozy cottage in a stunning location for walks etc. nature at its best. The beds were very comfortable . The only thing we could pick at is it would have been nice to have the basics left on arrival like milk, bread.

Ideal location as within easy reach of all the major tourist sites such as Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne & Alnwick Castle. Good local facilities in Wooler and the superb Ad Gefrin Distillery. Railway Cottage Retreat definitely feltRead more like a home away from home. Would highly recommend a stay here. Hide
