Super property, beautifully designed in a great setting. Well appointed and ideal for a couple for a short stay.
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.
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.
Our time at West Grange Hall was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful surroundings, beautiful grounds, and the characterful charm of the house itself. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, creating a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially loved the garden views and the serene atmosphere—ideal for a restful escape from the city. The hosts were incredibly responsive and went out of their way to ensure we felt com...more
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.
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!
We really enjoyed the off grid location with superb views and lovely walks. The cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped. Extremely relaxing 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.
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!
Hexham house is a beautiful place to stay, we stayed in apartment 3 which was clean, tidy, modern and with all amenities we could need. The apartments had views of the garden and close to local shops.
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
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.
We have stayed at the Coach house for a number of years and loved our time staying there. Accommodation has a lot of space and all the amenities that you require. Some of the furniture is a little dated, but no real complaints as it gives a nice old world charm. Very private and a huge (I mean Huge) Garden for playing games in, barbeques and the dogs absolutely loved it. Access to Kielder and the surrounding areas is ideal. Woodstar Cottages are really helpful and will go out of their way to support any thing you ask. Would come back 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.
lovely location in the shadow of Hexham abbey with excellent car parking facilities. Shower very small and rug in living room very stained.
Absolutely beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean throughout. Well appointed with every detail attended to, super comfy bed. The apartment is located in Hexham, a welcoming town with something for everyone. Private parking was very useful with the parking permit supplied.
We recently had a 3 night stay in this lovely little cottage. Although it was smaller than we expected it was very well equipped and it provided us with everything we needed. The welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits was greatly appreciated. Just what we needed after a long journey. The cottage is pleasantly decorated and was spotlessly clean. The bedroom is small but the bed was extremely comfortable with lovely crisp sheets and a beautifully soft duvet. Compact bathroom with an excellent shower. The location is quiet and we drove to two National Trust properties and Anwick ...more
We booked the cottages and big barn for a family celebration and it worked brilliantly. The kids and dogs could run around outside, the adults used the hot tubs. The party barn is excellent for outside caterers and a ceilidh. The setting is fantastic as is the location close to fantastic Northumberland scenery. Wooden Star were very helpful and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend.
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 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
I booked this stay as it was near a wedding I was attending at nearby Hallington mill. Upon arrival we easily found the key and gained access up a small path. Near the door I thought the path could do with a bit of a clean as quite a bit moss was lying on it, just needed a bit of a brush down. The room looked nice on initially entering with stunning views but when you start to look around you see the poor cleaning. Huge cobwebs on the small spot lights that are dotted around, cobwebs hanging right above the bed on the wooden beams, a small hand brush was hanging on the wall and had obviously b...more
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.
