Comfy and cosy
A charming old cottage, basic but very clean and comfortable. Lovely soft beds, well appointed kitchen and a lovely warm hot tub. Welcome pack of tea,coffee, milk and wine, plus kitchen and toilet rolls on arrival. Just one thing ladies, take your jewellery off before going in the tub. The chemicals used to keep it safe and hygienic will tarnish it, particularly silver. Overall excellent value in a secluded and private location. Would certainly go again

Really lovely cottage, very nice to stay in for the weekend.
Really lovely cottage, very nice to stay in for the weekend. We had great communication from the owners so we were able to get straight in with no contact (covid precaution). The hot tub was ready to jump straight in which was great, fab size and lovely and clean. We had everything we needed provided in the cottage and there was a great welcome pack with things like salt and pepper, tea and biscuits and even a treat in the fridge for us. The only very small negatives I would have was that the seating in the loving room isn't too comfy so not ideal for relaxing on with a book. We also found the front door lock quite tricky and had an awkward 5 minutes trying to get back in at one point. Those very small negatives aside we really liked the cottage and will be looking to book in again. Thank you so much! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Owners could not be more friendly and efficient.
Owners could not be more friendly and efficient. Thoughtful and generous (very!) welcome packs on arrival. Cottage could not have been any cleaner! The photos do not show just how luxurious this cottage this, it is stunning with the best views seconds away. Hot tub is so private and hot. Log fire at night was a lovely end to the day. 100% would recommend and will be back. I know some reviews have mentioned its near a housing estate......you would never know! It is private and please walk as the sunsets to the nearby fields, you will love it Also pop in to Thomas Wright House. Stunning inside, beautiful garden to sit outside and once again the owners could do not more to welcome you there. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Really enjoyed our stay! It was very private and we did not feel like we were disturbing anyone else. Amenities are only a short drive away. Great views just a short walk from the Cottage also. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Really lovely stay at this cosy cottage - with ample use of the conveniently located and private hot tub! Very little to fault, only reason I haven't scored it perfect 10 for comfort is that the sofa in the living room was quite small and not ideal for relaxing in - otherwise no complaints! We also had a lovely meal at the nearby restaurant that the cottage owner also owns - very friendly staff - and a lovely walk along the River Wear which is practically on the cottage's doorstep.
