The finish and attention to detail is very impressive in every room. As mentioned previously the entrance to the driveway is narrow and you would struggle to get a large car in however, there is on street parking opposite the property. Right in the centre of Wooler, so ideal for shops and pubs. Also a great base for exploring the local area, we visited Alnwick, Kelso, Bamburgh and Seahouses. Would definitely recommend this property and would love a return visit.

Glencoe House has everything you could possibly need and the attention to detail was second to none. Comfort and luxury with a fabulous welcome pack which was greatly received. The house is in an ideal place for exploring the local area and beyond. This is without doubt the best holiday home weâve stayed in and we will definitely return. The owners were really helpful with suggestions of where to visit. All in all, a fantastic week away.

The house was spotlessly clean,well equipped with everything you should need, and more. The house itself is very well renovated with lovely decor and finishing touches. Situated in a very handy position for the shops and pubs. Wooler itself is a lovely little village and on a good distance to other villages in Northumberland. Would highly recommend
