First Cottage

MelanieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

First Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. Great location (very quiet), clean, everything you could need and very homely. Janice was a great host and all instructions were clear. Great holiday, good value for money and would definitely recommend. Melanie.

Treehouse in Wingate

Wren Elevated Treehouse

BonitaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The most perfect stay for my partners birthday. The lodge itself was clean and had everything you could have wanted. We forgot milk, but he provided sachets of milk as standard. The views out the hot tub were incredible. Lots of details like a speaker system in the ceiling linked to the tablet and Netflix already logged in. A peaceful and relaxing stay and will definitely be returning.

Coastal Apartments No2

DanielRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Beautiful seaside apartment. Great base to explore the area. Host was very communicative about check in. The welcome book on arrival was a great help for the local area. The apartment was spotless and had a great set up. Especially liked the small selection of games for entertainment. Will definitely stay here again if available when visiting the area.

Cosy house for 5 near Beamish, Newcastle & Durham

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We really enjoyed our stay at Melanie’s. The house is really comfy, cosy, well-appointed and welcoming. We found it deceptively spacious and we loved the big rooms. The beds are very comfy and the house is warm on cold days and airy when it is hot outside. It’s extremely handy for day trips to Beamish and it’s close enough to make an easy journey into Newcastle. We found the parking was a tight squeeze but Melanie’s advice on how to manage this was spot-on - she is a very helpful host. Event though the house is on a narrow terraced street, the neighbours left us space to get the car in and out, and we found the house private, quiet and peaceful. We had everything we needed in the house and there are lots of extras like Netflix and Freeview on the TV as well as lots of books and DVDs. The chip shop down the road served us huge portions and was tasty - we also recommend the Stables restaurant at Beamish Hall. We hope to stay at Melanie’s again and will be recommending it to others.

Cottage in Bridge End

River View, Frosterley in Weardale

JohnRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we felt at home from the day we arrived. The cottage was perfect for our extended stay (a month) and we will fondly remember our time in the cottage, Frosterley and the Weardale and North Pennines area. Our hosts were very friendly, laid back and made us feel wonderfully relaxed during our stay. The cottage was warm, comfortable and well appointed and ideal for our needs. We would definitely recommend River View Cottage and the other accommodation in the courtyard to family and friends and we would definitely consider returning in the future for another break.

Large family, wheelchair friendly with a hot tub

CarolineRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We stayed here for a family get together, there was 16 of us, but it felt like there was plenty of space and lots to do in the house. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were comfy and the hot tub was lovely after a day of walking. Highly recommend!

Water views, log burner, walking, fishing, sailing

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

As a family of 4 including two tweens needing to get off their gadgets, we have LOVED this stay. The views and comfort of the house are phenomenal. As well as sightseeing, we made time just to chill at the house and enjoy time at the reservoir away from it all. This was made possible because the hosts have literally thought of everything and the layout of the house is brilliant for socialising together. The bedrooms are super comfy, the kitchen has everything and there are some nice perks like the log fire, underfloor heating and unbeatable views that just make the house so enjoyable to be in. We took mountain bikes and glad we did, there are endless well kept trails for walking and cycling right from the door and a great park for kids within a healthy walking distance. Communication and information provided were fab, and we will go back for sure!

Cosy shepherds hut

SianRating, 5 stars1 day ago

We had a lovely stay this weekend! Pauline and bill couldn’t have been more helpful if they tried and they are so friendly. So are the two little doggies who made friends with our dog and joined us for walks around the huge field just outside the hut. Pauline and bill really care about how they do and that’s guests are happy and it shows. Beautiful scenery. Spotless accommodation! Fresh clean towels and toiletries. We were only about 10-15 minutes away from home but it really didn’t feel like it at all it’s out the way and private and surrounded by the most beautiful nature! Again a 10/10 stay and we will 10000% be back😊

CarolineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Property was exactly what we were looking for, felt right at home as soon as we walked through the door. Neutral decor and comfortable furnishing. We had an issue with the boiler one day, but with prompt communication this was sorted asap. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Thank you
