We stayed for a long weekend in 1 The Steadings. We were kept up to date on our booking throughout our stay by Sam and Vicky. Cottage was spotlessly clean and welcoming. Everything you need for a home from home. Lovely en suite bedrooms with walk in showers. Fabulous views from your armchair. Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful retreat
Amazing apartment. We hired all 7 for the wedding party and every apartment was beautiful. Great for our wedding day.
Fabulous accommodation! Hosts were great. Worth every penny! We booked the cottage and the Hall and it all was just perfect
The Tree House was very well presented and in a fantastic location. Sam and her team at Wooden Star Cottages couldn't do enough for us. Definitely would use Wooden Star Cottages again. Highly recommended.
Lovely apartment, stylish, cosy and comfortable situated in a quiet area of Hexham. Very convenient for shops and restaurants. I felt very comfortable staying there on my own. I came by train and Sam very kindly met me at the station which was a real bonus. I really enjoyed my stay and will happily stay there again.
An amazing location with gorgeous grand decor! Lovely comfy beds and bedding. Lots of room for a big group to cook and socialise. Beautiful garden for a fun bootcamp or a place to sit in the sun. Communication from hosts and owner was excellent. Perfect place to celebrate something special or just to get a lot of friends together.
What an amazing find, perfect for hosting an intimate gathering, bringing family and friends together to celebrate my significant birthday. The venue is absolutely stunning, full of history and charm. All eight bedrooms were spacious and luxurious. We truly felt like royalty, soujourning in our country residence with magnificent views over the Tyne Valley. Thanks Sam and team at Wooden star Cottages for being so accommodating and responsive. You helped make this a weekend to remember for many years to come x
This is the 7th time we've stayed in the beautiful restored Hexham House overlooking the stunning gardens and bowling green of the park. As usual very high standards of cleanliness are maintained and the apartment contains everything you need for a wonderfully comfortable stay. We always stay a week as there is SO much to do in the surrounding area either walking, cycling, public transport or in the car. Sam and Vicky of Wooden Star cottages do a fantastic job, always easy to contact and the bag of local treats is also welcome. Thanks ladies and looking forward to our 8th stay!! ⭐️
We had a fabulous stay, very impressed with the renovation and decor. The property is well equipped, beds were firm but comfortable, decent pillows and great towels! We particularly liked how everything was good quality and of a high standard. We had a small issue on arrival but the team dealt with this promptly and efficiently. Would definitely stay here again and at their other properties.
Beautiful property in an absolutely stunning location! Perfect little home with everything you could need. Super clear instructions and info from hosts. The house itself is perfect, super cosy and comfortable, lovely log fire for the evenings and the surrounding area is amazing. Well located to explore and beautiful isolated location to sit in the garden and enjoy the views (and the neighbouring sheep). We loved sitting in the garden and our dog loved being able to roam around in the enclosed space and watch the animals. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would have loved to stay for longer ...more
Our second visit and as good as the first. Great facilities with a room and en-suite each and plenty of room for socialising, cooking and eating together. Couple of points: The downstairs toilet in Steadings 2 doesn’t flush properly. Heaters in The Byers 1 & 2 need attention as not all were working. Mirrors in bedrooms for hair drying etc would be helpful. We loved it again. And we even got the dark skies too!
Stayed 2 nights in the Steadings with 2 couples, 3 kids aged 9 to 13. The linked cottages filled the bill as it was roomy, well equipped and quiet. The Boe Rigg restaurant and pub on site was great too as was the craft/ gift shop.
I booked this accommodation for elderly relatives attending a family member's funeral at Hexham Abbey. The location was ideal as it was only a 2 minute walk from the Abbey and Hexham's shops and parks. Wooden Star Cottages provided an excellent service especially when I unexpectedly had to extend the stay by an extra night. I will definitely recommend Hexham House to any other friends and family wishing to visit the area. I have 2 comments for improvement. The first relates to the reliance on guests having email, smart phones and being generally digitally aware. My relatives had none o...more
Three families on our annual getaway together. We normally travel to the Lakes, the highlands or Wales, but fancied somewhere different this year. Hollin House ticked all the boxes. If you’re looking for somewhere touristy close to towns, shops and restaurants then this isn’t the place for you. If you prefer serene comfort situated miles down single track lanes where sheep and cows wander aimlessly, where the evenings are filled with bats, owls and billions of stars, then you couldn’t ask for a better location. We will, without question, be back!
Everything required for a comfortable stay. Even a slow cooker, and set of kitchen scales so I was able to do some baking.
Beautiful place in a perfect location, very clean and even a goodie bag on arrival. The communication went smooth and I would highly recommend Thanks Aden
Apartment 1 was very clean and well appointed with all amenities you need for a short stay. The beds were very comfortable with good quality linen and we all slept well. The Apartment is ideally located in the centre of Hexham with a parking permit provided for a nearby car park. Communications from booking through to departure were excellent with a full and easy to follow information pack provided. The welcome pack of tea, coffee and some treats was much appreciated. We would be happy to book again.
We booked the Bridal suite Apartment 7 and what an amazing apartment it is. The suite is spotless in every aspect, appointed to a very high standard of quality. The beds are super comfortable and gave a great nights sleep. Fully equipped kitchen, lounge area with lovely furnishings and TV. Bathroom gave a choice of Shower or Roll top bath. We can’t recommend this apartment highly enough, a true gem of a find . Thank you Hexham House.
We stayed at the Woodworkers cottage for a long weekend in December. We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage and found the owners to be very accommodating for us, providing stair gate and high chair. The cottage was nicely furnished and had a log burner with wood and firefighters provided. We would definitely look to stay again when we next visit Northumberland.
lovely location in the shadow of Hexham abbey with excellent car parking facilities. Shower very small and rug in living room very stained.
The Byers are two converted cow byres, the conversion has been done very well and the cottages are very comfortable, well equipped and cosy. Good shower room with loads of hot water. Plenty of car parking space. There was some confusion about the accommodation on arrival but the owners were very helpful and efficient and sorted out my query very quickly and satisfactorily. I would stay with Wooden Star Cottages again without hesitation.
This was our second stay at the Coach House. It is a truly lovely house to stay in and explore the stunning countryside of Northumberland. Our dog loves the large, secure garden and we enjoyed the apples from the trees! The owners were wonderful in resolving any issues and their warmth enhances staying in this beautiful place. We can’t wait to come again.
These cottages and the barn were perfect for our wedding. Sam and Vicky were brilliant in helping us with our queries and we were delighted with how it all went in the day. It is in a beautiful location and all of the rooms and surrounding outdoor spaces were perfect for us and our guests.
We had a fabulous stay at Drum Barn. It’s a great house in a beautiful location with everything that we needed. Plenty of bathrooms, very comfy beds and spacious cooking and dining areas. Would go again.
We stayed in the studio for a wedding. From the moment we arrived, in storm Amy, we were impressed. We had everything we needed and the welcome bag of coffee, biscuits and tea was appreciated. The facilities were very clean, a couple of spiders joined us, but that is to be expected in the middle of the country. We had everything we needed. It was a lovely cosy weekend and the wedding was beautiful!
We had a great stay at 2 The Steadings. Perfect home away from home. Excellent communication with the owners throughout from booking to leaving. Thank you
Superb, quiet rural location but with superfast internet. Wonderful house with lots of space for family of all generations to relax in. Loved having the grand piano to practice on. Fabulous showers - a real must for us! Kitchen and BBQ easily big enough for 10 of us and more, and nice raised beds in the kitchen garden to dip into for herbs and fresh mint tea. Incredibly helpful app for the property with lots of tips and hints for the local area. Having done similar breaks in New Forest, Jurrasic coast, Europe... can highly recommend Shellbraes.
No 2 The Byre was a wonderful quiet place to stay with my dog Norman. The accommodation had everything we needed and was peaceful and secure. Would definitely stay again.
The Stables is a very comfortable cottage in a great location. It was very peaceful and we looked forward to seeing the sheep and ducks when we opened the curtains each morning. It is within 30 minute drive of a number of Hadrian Wall attractions and Hexham which was worth a visit. The Welcome bag from Wooden Star Cottages was a nice surprise.
From the moment I arrived at Charlton Gate, I felt completely at home. The property was immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and full of thoughtful touches that made my stay truly special. Every room was comfortable and inviting, with a perfect blend of charm and practicality. Customer service was exceptional—friendly, responsive, and genuinely caring. The location was ideal for peaceful countryside walks and cozy evenings in, yet close enough to explore nearby attractions. I especially appreciated the attention to detail throughout—from the well-equipped kitchen to the plus...more
We were in the area for a wedding so The Hayloft was an ideal place for our three families (8 people) to stay. Had everything we needed and is in lovely part of the country. WIFI wasn't great but that wasn't an issue for us (it may be for others). Would certainly return if the opprtunity arises.
