Cottage vacation rentals in Stanley

A very peaceful and quiet retreat in a lovely part of the North East. It was so quiet and relaxing spending time in the hot tub and inside the cottage. Although this is no fault of Rachael's and/or the cottage please be wary that if you're over 6 foot you will be ducking a lot! I banged my head twice coming out of the bathroom when going during the night and still half asleep (again, this is nothing against the host or the location - just a pre-warning!)

Lovely house, Courtney is friendly and super quick at replying to any questions. Awesome location and we’ve all said we’d happily book to stay again when visiting Newcastle x

I absolutely loved our stay at Barnacre Alpacas, we stayed in the rose cottage, it was very clean and the hot tub was a bonus. We enjoyed the alpaca walk and talk, that was something I’ll never forget! On arrival the cottage was dressed up for a birthday surprise and champagne and chocolates was left for us. Thank you to Paul and Debbie, we will be back!

Jane met us on arrival, explained everything, then left us to chill out. The welcome pack and fresh flowers were a lovely gesture and were much appreciated. The cottage was spotless and felt extremely homely. We very much enjoyed the games room and enclosed hot tub. The garden areas were vast with lots of outdoor furniture. We enjoyed a lovely ice cream at Archers ice cream parlour (10 min walk) and experienced both pubs in nearby Heighington, very friendly, great food and service in the George & Dragon. Another recommendation is the nearby Raby castle, definitely a worthwhile visit. We definitely recommend staying at Ivy cottage and look forward to returning there again. Thank you Jane.

Four of us have just spent 3 nights in Peewit Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we all felt right at home, the place was spotless, beds very comfortable too! Everything you could possibly need for a self catering stay was provided. Having the private hot tub was fabulous, we loved it after full days of being tourists in the local area. On a separate note, we would highly recommend a visit to Beamish Museum which was about a 30 min drive, we also spent a day in Durham City & booked a 2.5 hr History/City Tour with walkaboutdurham - highly recommended. Tour Guide Peter is very knowledgeable & so passionate about his job plus he gives everyone a "free" cocktail voucher for Turtle Bay - well deserved after 2.5hrs walking around the City 🤣🤣

Great home, the pictures don’t justify the beauty of the place … high standards & very well equipped. Lovely surroundings.. thanks for letting us staying in your lovely home.

Excellent we enjoyed it very much. We definitely will be back. Highly recommended.

Cottage was spacious, clean and exactly what we needed (3 adults + dog)Thoughtful extras, everything needed for breakfast, bottle of wine, dog treats

Ideal quiet location for our trip to Newcastle, followed by a trip to Bamburgh. Very comfortable accommodation with the added bonus of being pet friendly. Excellent communication with the host. Highly recommended.

My third stay at Nicks place was brilliant. Looking forward to going again soon.

Great responsive host with early check in, lovely views with a ice cream parlour serving home made ice cream ,cakes and bakes -just a 5minute walk from the cottage. Great base for plenty of walks nearby. a clean peaceful and cosy cottage with Lovely scenic view from the cottage window, loved my stay everything was provided a home from home.

House was very well presented, only issue was the closeness of the road and having to cross it to use the car park, we had a young child with us and we had to be extra careful for him.. Anne

What can I say... Absolutely fantastic place. You couldn't ask for anything more. Really peaceful location with fantastic views of the hills etc. We had a strange issue but this was sorted out very swiftly by Malcolm 👍 We will definitely be looking to book again and have another peaceful time just watching the world go by. Thanks Bob & Chris

This was one of the nicest places we have stayed in very many years. Carol was a delight and the cottage had everything one could want. I was impressed by the number of books available, it was a joy.

Great location for exploring Northumberland, Roman sites near by and located near Corbridge for access to local eateries, pubs etc. Accommodation was very clean, access was easy and host (Vanessa) was very responsive to any queries we had before travel. Accommodation layout may not suit every party but was great for our family group - recommended

Abbey Hill Cottages to high above W. Hartlepool. They are well equipped.Beds are comfortable and so is sitting room furniture. Plenty of hot water. Good shower.Lots of space. I would stay again.

We needed a place to stay while our bathroom was being remodelled, and it needed to be close to home so we could check on the progress of the work. Violet Cottage fitted our needs perfectly. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked with essentials (the chocolate biscuits were a bonus) and was simply everything we’ve come to expect from an Airbnb Superhost. Grant was very responsive when we had questions and generally made sure our stay was entirely to our satisfaction. For out of town visitors, this place is close to the city centre, close to the river and close to a lot of facilities, both for basic needs and entertainment. We highly recommend Violet Cottage.

Spacious and comfortable cottage ideal for a couple in a pretty village by the moors. We enjoyed visiting the surroundings including the city of Durham and Beamish Open Air Museum as well as castles and countryside. On street parking was no problem as we always parked in front of the cottage.

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location. Great base for exploring nearby Hexham and Corbridge, and Roman ruins such as Vindolanda, Housesteads and Hadrian’s Wall. Very well equipped kitchen, much better than average, with all the kitchen utensils you need. Very friendly and welcoming host. Would highly recommend.

we were extremely happy with cottage, very beautiful and very well equipped. we loved our stay and would recommend to everyone if you are considering a visit to this area this is the place to stay. well done Sue keep up the great work

Have just spent 4 nights at Elmhurst. Beautiful, traditional cottage with all of the home comforts. Wood burner, well stocked with logs. Very well equipped cottage. Chris really is the best. Highly recommended.

We are just back from a fantastic few days at Bluebell Cottage. The location is great, and the view from the cottage is spectacular. Patrick and his family are great hosts and very welcoming. The sunsets from the cottage are amazing and the environment very tranquil, just what you need when trying to escape busy towns. We were very lucky with the weather which was unusually high for April but the best part of our stay was that it was lambing season and we were fortunate to witness many lambs being born. Kirsty, Rosie and Patrick were very knowledge and brilliant at keeping us involved and updated about the new editions. A really lovely experience and would highly recommend.

We had a great time! The farm cottage had everything that you needed for a comfortable and well equipped stay. It was lovely seeing the lambs playing in the field, hearing the owls in the evening in the nearby trees and seeing the fantastic sunsets on the horizon. We enjoyed our walks around Bolam country Park, getting to Cresswell Beach and going into Newcastle. We also went into the National park for a walk up to a waterfall. Our dog - Callie - enjoyed her stay just as much as we did! Would definitely be happy to visit again.
