Geoff

A warm cottage and a warm welcome from the owner.

Victoria

What more could you ask for, the owners have thought of everything. The cottage is amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Perfect long weekend with the family including our doggies who loved the huge garden and the weather was kind to us too especially for this time of year. Will definitely be back

Nicola

Parcel cottage is in a lovely location and within easy reach of a lot of activities and places to visit during your stay. We particularly enjoyed our visits to Hadrians Wall, Low and High Force waterfalls and Whitby. The Cross Keys pub was only a short walk away and we were able to walk to the local town Stanhope on the old railway track which we aRead moreccessed at the end of the caravan park next door. The cottage itself was beautiful and we made full use of the hot tub which is ideal with the cover. Hide

A lovely property in a stunning part of England.

Nikki

The cottage was absolutely beautiful, decorated to an exceptionally high quality. We just felt completely at home & it was a perfect base to explore the area. Our two cockapoos thoroughly enjoyed playing in the garden & we were confident they were safely enclosed. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great during our stay but we were still able to makeRead more use of the hot tub as it was under cover. Plenty to keep us occupied despite the rain & wouldn't hesitate to visit again. Thanks for the hamper too! Hide

Jennefer

A beautiful cottage and wonderful enclosed garden for our dog. The location was excellent for walking in Teasdale and seeing sights such as high and low force. Handy for a day out to Beamish. Raby deer park and castle are worth a visit and not too far away from Barnard Castle. Would highly recommend Parcel Cottage.

Beautiful cottage, just what we needed for a break away as a family. We were so impressed with the equipment and it was refreshing to stay somewhere and not have to bring every single thing we need. The hot tub was great and the outdoor garden for the dog was fantastic. We hope to be back next year- thank you!

Michelle

Our party consisted of 3 adults, 2 young teens and our dog. Owner met us on arrival and was on hand if needed. Really well equipped kitchen. Garden was fully secure apart from a small gap under the gate but you can easily block this once you've closed it to stop small dogs escaping.

Gorgeous house which is furnished beautifully. Amazing views and garden. Really relaxing stay, we had good weather which was a bonus. Stanhope is only a few minutes drive away and has everything you need and a lovely river walk and stepping stones. Lovely Italian in Wolsingham, 15 mins away. Would recommend taking mosquito spray to keep the bites t o a minimum as it's near the river and later afternoon evening they like to come out. Would definitely recommend this house.

Richard

Really delighted with our holiday here. Parcel Cottage is furnished to the highest tastes which made our stay all the more relaxing and comfortable.
