“Fabulous house in a quiet but accessable location” The Shutters is a fantastic house in a great location. The house more than matches up to the pictures and ad on the holiday guide - you will not be disappointed!The decoration, furniture, fittings and facilities are all 1st class.
We stayed in November and the house was lovely and cosy - the gas wood burning stove is a great addition as it gives a direct heat to anyone sitting relaxing in the lounge without the rest of the house being stifling hot.
The location is ideal for visiting Northumberland, Durham, Teesside and many parts of Yorkshire. For horse racing enthusiasts, the location is great for visiting many courses including Newcastle(30mins), Sedgefield(30 mins) and Hexham(40mins). The coast is within easy striking distance and would recommend a visit to the Victorian seaside resort of Saltburn by the Sea.
A return visit is definitely on the cards.
“Wonderful New year stay” We had an wonderful week which was a great way to start the new year. The accommodation was perfect for our two families. It has everything you could need and finished to a very high standard. The hot tub was frequently used despite the rain as it is undercover. It is a beautiful location and we will definitely go back.
“A lovely weekend with friends” I chose this cottage because we were a very big group, 18 people, and this house was definitely big enough to accommodate all of us. We spend only a weekend there as part of a birthday party and we had a lovely time!
The house is very well equipped; living room is pretty comfortable and has a table pool which is a plus and the kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. The house was warm and beds comfy although some of them a bit small for adults...
Peter was very kind and let us left the property a bit later than the check-out time which was much appreciated from all of us.
We didn't think it was going to be so close to the farm, in particular to the stables but that wasn't a big problem really. The only thing is that we couldn't park many cars in the entrance of the house because we needed to let space for the horses to get to the stables. There is additional parking a bit further away from the house but it was very muddy when we were there so it was a bit of a nuisance to have to walk that distance as your shoes got all muddy. But hey, at the end of the day, you are in the countryside!
Overall a very good experience. I would definitely recommend this cottage for large group of friends looking to spend a weekend in the countryside
“City Centre comfort” Lovely, well equipped and specified apartment. Great environment to relax for a few days. Only downside was beyond owners control - a very busy and noisy BH weekend, so overnight not as quiet as we would have liked.
“Beautiful and cosy” This cottage is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. It has been decorated to a very high standard, beds are great, plenty of (large) towels, kitchen well equipped. The conservatory was wonderful: even at this time of year the sun would warm it up quickly and we could enjoy our lunch 'outside', in spite of English weather. And in the evening, we enjoyed the gas fire and the cosy living room.
The Black Horse provided great meals all through the day, just a few minutes walk uphill. Certainly a place we would like to revisit!
“Best holiday apartment we have ever experienced.” We have stayed in many short let apartments around England and this was the best ever. Chris, the host, met us at the station and ensured that we were comfortably settled; subsequently, when the DVD broke down, he was there almost immediately with a replacement - he did everything to make us feel at home and welcome.
The apartment is ideally situated, just across the bridge from the centre of Durham, with a lovely view of the river - though it was too cold to use the patio it was a pleasure having breakfast and looking out at the rowers training.
The decor was lovely - furniture comfortable and in excellent condition, everything tastefully chosen. The beds deserve particular mention: lots of goose feather/down pillows and fluffy duvets.
There were much appreciated touches such as a welcome basket of biscuits and wine, milk, coffee, tea etc so that we didn't have to go straight to the supermarket, and good quality toiletries. Everything you could possible need was supplied.
We had an excellent week at Elvet Bridge View - it felt like living 'at home', not in a rented apartment.
We weren’t quite sure on the place before we had got there. We booked this very very very last minute as we didn’t know where we should go. The price per night really isn’t bad for the things you get and the actual place itself. Unlike some reviews on here the lodge it’s self is in the back garden of the main house but when your there you can’t tell your in someone’s “back garden” at all. Jules and John are a lovely couple who showed us around the place and ensured that we were okay with everything and just to text when we needed anything. Jules even made sure we drove safely when we were on our way. There’s no WiFi but you can still get pretty good reception and the hot tub is fantastic! Very satisfied with our stay and we are 100% coming back. So close and so lovely! Thank you to both John and Jules for allowing us to stay, just the break we needed as a couple :) …

The Stables cottage, Raygill Farm
Nice
The place was really nice. The house itself needs updating, and unfortunately there is nothing for kids even though its for large families. It would of been nice if they let the kids help muck out or collect eggs with it been on a working farm. Or had archery or a playground on site. Other than that it was a nice stay and the owners were welcoming. …

Angate Holiday Cottage
Cosy, comfy and clean cottage
We had a lovely weekend break in this cosy cottage which is full of character and period features. This cottage seems small from the front but it has been extended at the back and the kitchen / dining room and back bedroom are a good size. There were only two of us but a larger family would be quite comfortable. The cottage was a little cold when we arrived as it was a quiet period and had been empty for a few days but it soon warmed up when we got the heating on and made a fire in the wood burning stove. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. Our only complaint was that the DVD player was broken, and don't rely on the WiFi for streaming, but that adds to the feeling of going back in time and getting a break from reality. We loved our first visit to Wolsingham with lots of great walks nearby, nice cafes and a lovely gift shop. Buon Appetito was a short walk away and serves reasonably priced but pretty standard Italian food. It was nice to be met and shown around by the owner and that gives an opportunity to ask for recommendations. …
