"Cosy well equipped and spotless. The cottage was a great base for exploring and will recommend to friends - Thank you!"
"A perfect country hideaway to explore Weardale, Hamsterley Forest and surrounding area. The cottage is well equipped and the kids really enjoyed using the games room and trampoline on site. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and the cottage is in a rural location with countryside views but with the Co-op and pubs in walking distance. The owner living in the house next door was very welcoming and friendly."

We explored the local towns, Durham, Newcastle, Auckland Castle, Raby Castle, Hamsterley Forest and played Golf at Brancepeth Castle. All of which were fab days out and fell in love with the scenery and local life. Valerie was a brilliant host and this house was fantastic.
Comfortable and warm, we wanted for nothing. A beautiful part of the country
We enjoyed the garden and BBQ and the boys especially enjoyed the pool table. We spent a day at South Shields, did a lovely bike ride through Hamsterley Forest and a spent a day at Alnwick Castle. We even had fun when it rained!
The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the gardens superb - the kids really enjoyed the games room too.We enjoyed the stunning scenery and went on some lovely walks. Thank you for being so helpful!
The landlady was extremely friendly and obliging. We hope to be back soon! The accommodation was very clean and the games room and gardens were all wonderful. Thank You!
