Southview Farm Cottage Reviews

Catherine

This is a comfortable and very dog friendly cottage with a fully enclosed paved garden area. The owners were friendly and helpful. The location was great for visiting the local area - Binchester Roman Fort is only a couple of miles away as is the deer park at Bishops Auckland which was fabulous for dog walks.

Corinne

The cottage was lovely and really peaceful. We loved how it was set up and the secure garden for our doggy. Leading up to the stay the owners were really responsive to emails which was helpful and outlined everything for you. It is remote and there is no local shop that you can walk to so you need to be mindful of that. The hot tub was nice but tooRead morek hours to heat up. There are lots of local walks and plenty to do if you drive. Overall would recommend. Hide

Elizabeth

A comfortable and well located property with a stylish interior and plenty of space for two people.

Corrie

Philip

modern nice cottage

Miss

Would definitely recommend this cottage for a relaxing break we would like to return

Emma

We LOVED our stay here at this wonderful little cottage. It was perfect for the two of us and our dogs. A calming, relaxing and happy week - we were so relieved that the garden was fully enclosed with high fences as we have had bad experiences in the past were gardens have not been as 'enclosed' as they claimed to be. The cottage itself was beautifRead moreully presented and had all we needed, with plenty around the local area to keep us busy on trips out and about. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hide

Nicole

It wasn't clean, there were still previous pet hair and food on the floor and sofa from previous people and the hot tub was not clean and smelled badly. It was also disappointing that we were not notified there was a noisy warehouse right next door using very loud power tools from early morning continuing all day everyday throughout our stay makingRead more it less peaceful than we wanted. Hide

Jade

Amazing place and really friendly and helpful owners who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable for us always on hand to assist with any of our enquiries

Jade

Beautiful spacious cottage with all the anemities! Excellently presented and super comfy.

Jennifer

The cottage was small but surprisingly spacious and very cosy. It was very comfortable and quiet. Only thing that would have made it better would have been access to Wifi. Would happily return given the opportunity.

Conor

The cottage was very cosy and very comfy, the bed especially, didn't want to get out of bed in the mornings. Every room was clean and neat. All the equipment was clean and in working order and the hot tub was perfect!

Raymond

LOVELY COTTAGE WITH NICE PATIO AREA AND OFCOURSE THE HOT TUB

Chris

We found the property to be spacious and on the whole clean and tidy.

Patrick

Could not fault it in any way - presented very well and extremely comfortable and quiet.

Jennifer

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Bed was so comfy. Hopefully return soon.

Mark

Highly recommended from the minute we arrived until we left we were made to feel welcome by hosts very clean and tidy we will be going back in 2 years time

Gemma

Beautiful cottage, super comfy bed. Has everything you need for a relaxing break away. Would definitely recommend staying here. Next time we visit we will pay the extra to have the hottub heated for arrival as we underestimated how long this would take to achieve so paying the extra will definitely be worth it.

Rebecca

We had a fabulous stay at the cottage. The cottage is very clean, and the furniture is so comfortable! The hot tub was great fun, and it was nice to have a secure area for our dog to enjoy too. When we met the hosts briefly, they were very kind and friendly. This is a great base for exploring the area, with lots to see and do right on the doorstep. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here, and hope to be back soon!

Lynne

Very comfortable cottage, had a lovely stay. Great hot tub.

Natalie

A stunning cottage, in the perfect location! Exactly what we wanted for our anniversary. Very relaxing and dog friendly!

Marion

A really comfortable cottage, specially the bed and sofa. Owners were helpful, however we were woken at 7.55 each morning due to the noise from the agricultural company next door. This didn't suit us as we like a lay in.

Chelsea

We had a fantastic anniversary weekend at the cottage, it was very clean, bed was extremely comfortable, the hot tub was a lovely touch! It was just such a relaxing stay! Very modern. Great cottage we would book again. Thank you to Amanda too for the setting up of a hamper & also been just a text away when I needed to ask any questions! Fantastic h osts.

Frankie

A great find in a lovely location. Super dog friendly with the fully enclosed garden, throws for the sofa and some treats on arrival too. The hot tub is a great addition, although does take a few hours to warm up. Owners are so friendly and helped with a couple of enquiries really quickly. Highly recommend and will be rebooking for next year.

Samantha

We really enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable, well presented, dog friendly property. Clean and modern Nice layout Comfy bed and pillows Fresh, clean linen and towels Plenty of storage for food and clothes The hot tub was great for relaxing in, once we got the perfect temperature. The garden is fully enclosed with 6ft fencing, including the g ate, which can be locked to keep your dog safe. Thank you xx

Lauren

What a perfect place to stay! Situated in a small village not far from Durham, its a great place to unwind and take a step back from the hustle and bustle of life. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay (inc dog bowls and treats which was a great touch) - the addition of the hot tub was our fave part! I couldnt reco mmend this place enough; it is a credit to the owners, Amanda & Rob who are so friendly too and offered assistance when needed! Will be returning :)

Vaughan

Very clean, the owners were very friendly and helpful, location was beautiful,

Charlotte

We had our first get away with our new addition as a family. We booked south view cottage despite never visiting Durham before, and we are soo glad we chose this property. We loved the city, beach and brilliant dog walks we explored with only being short drives away. The property was done out lovely and hosts couldnt have been any more accommodatin g. Lovely stay and will be returning x

This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire. Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour.
