About this property

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.
