This is a lovely cosy cottage set in beautiful peaceful surroundings. We even got real thick snow which was an added bonus, great to watch surrounding wildlife and had visits from sheep. The wood burner was a real hit, made the cottage feel homely and warm, great place to explore from and the fresh warm bread on arrival was an absolute bonus. We will be back thank you so much for the excellent hospitality. Would highly recommend. ##### Stephen Bamber ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela C.

The cottage is well equiped & feels like a real home - very peaceful, great views & easy reach if Barnard Castle. Great walks from the doorstep. We were made so welcome by Ann, (loved the fresh baked bread & flowers). We will stay here again. ##### Pamela C.
