Had a fabulous week. I had broken my ankle a week before the holiday and can vouch that I was able to get around the house and that the disabled bathroom was great. The walled garden is fantastic and the dogs had a good time too. Lots of walks nearby. I would like to visit in summer to take more advantage of the decking. Brilliant

Loved Our stay. Love how secluded the property is. Plenty of cooking equipment which is brilliant. Maybe a few big serving plate would be good little touch. Nice touches were milk in the fridge, tea coffee and some condiments too. Beds weren't the comfiest but expected in price of stay being such good value. We stayed here and group of 12 girls butRead more would be perfect for family stays as lots of space for children outside. Exterior could use a little TLC. Kitchen living room area is fab. Hide

A fantastic spacious place great for families. The setting is perfect, and it was great to have so much space. The pool table was a real plus for the kids, and the garden was great for the kids to play (and the grown ups to relax). The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need.

5 of us had 3 nights here, using it as a base for a 5 day motorcycling tour of N.Yorks & Cumbria. Superb location, highly recommend food at the nearby hotel, good layout, plenty of space and beds. You can buy supplies in Darlington & be self-sufficient with a good selection of pans, plates & cutlery plus a BBQ outside. Would definately stay again, Read moremake sure you play the balancing chairs game, you'll find it on the windowsill, kept us entertained till the early hours with a few beers ;-) Hide

A very spacious and well equipped cottage with ample room for 7 adults, 5 children, a baby and a dog. The large, secure garden with patio was ideal, just a shame about the weather. Plenty of off road parking. Lovely views of Walworth Castle next door. Everyone enjoyed their stay, thank you.

We had a great time (Family of 12). The house was very spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. The garden was huge with gates, ensuring safety for the children and the dogs to run around, as well as providing ample parking space for all our cars. The owner John was great, he was very welcoming and accommodating and answered any querieRead mores we had swiftly. I would definitely recommend this cottage to our family and friends. Thank you.

This is the second time weve stayed in the cottage as an expanded family getting together. We new after the first visit that we would get together again here. Cottage is basic but has everything you need. The huge secure garden is a massive thumbs up for family with children. Will definitely be back next year !!!

A well kept and well equipped house. Twelve of us over three generations gathered for a 40th birthday and we were not disappointed. Pool table was a surprise and the teenagers loved that. John the owner could not have been more helpful. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will return.
