4- and 5-star hotels in Wooler
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels and cottages in and around Wooler, gathered for travellers who want comfortable rooms at the gateway to Northumberland's hills and coast.
Staying in Wooler
Wooler sits at the foot of the Cheviot Hills in Northumberland, a small town that works as a base for walkers heading into the hills and for visitors exploring the quieter northern edge of England. The town itself is compact and easy to walk, with the High Street and surrounding lanes holding most of what a short break needs.
The hotels here cluster in two areas. Black Bull Inn, Bridge End Bothy, Rockliffe House Bed & Breakfast, Peth Head Cottage, Remarkable 2 Bed Cottage, Birchwood Cottage and Catkin Cottage's town neighbours sit close to the centre, between 0.2 km and 0.8 km out. A second group, the Akeld Manor cottages, East Horton Farmhouse, The Hemmel Bed and Breakfast and Sandyhouse Cottage, lies further out, from 1.3 km to 6.9 km. Couples and short-break guests tend to prefer the central addresses; families and groups wanting space, gardens and shared facilities do well in the outlying cottages.
