A very neat, welcoming, and well stocked cottage. Thought had really gone into making sure it met all our needs.

“Simply relaxing”

Stayed here for a week with my partner, 15 year old daughter and her friend. Absolutely fantastic cottage with everything you could need. The cottage was clean throughout and full of character. It was very spacious. The only room I would say was small was the bathroom but still very a usable. The garden leading down to the river was well kept n had plenty of space to sit out.... A gate lead through to the river where you can have bbq/fires and enjoy a glass of the good stuff. I just cannot find a fault with the place. Some people may not like that you have to heat the water for a bath but we found with simple planning, each of us could have one every day and that it just added to the character of the cottage. The cottage is set in some simply stunning scenery with rabbits and sheep on the field directly across the road and sheep wandering out the back too. Waking to the sound of ducks and sparrows was just lush (when all we hear at home is seagulls). The nearest shop in Allendale, just a ten minute drive away and the nearest supermarket is in Hexham, just a thirty minute drive. There are some great walks near to the cottage and tons of things to do including, Killhope lead mining museum, Hexham Abbey, and Newcastle is just a hour away is you fancy a bit of shopping. Just book, I promise you will not regret it

“The owners have put a lot of ...”

The owners have put a lot of thought into this cottage n barring the linen, towels n food, I would say almost everything else you need is in the cottage... Including things like salt & pepper, vinegar, oil, sugar etc etc. ALL crocker, cutlery n utensils... Absolutely A1.

“Beautiful cottage, stunning surroundings”

We stayed here in August 2015 after finding it on a pet friendly holidays page on Facebook. Having never hired a cottage before or even taken our pooch with us we were a little dubious. However, we had no reason to be, we arrived at the cottage and it did not disappoint. Absolutely beautiful cottage, in stunning surroundings. It was one of our best holidays and we will definitely return, I cannot recommend the cottage enough.

“This charming cottage was set in a ...”

This charming cottage was set in a lovely and interesting old mining village, with country walks on the doorstep. It was a very good base for touring the area, with quiet roads in beautiful countryside - just what we had hoped for, in fact.

“Englewood Cottage is in a Very good ...”

Englewood Cottage is in a Very good location for walking round and about and getting to and from Weardale and Teesdale. Cottage well renovated/maintained with many features and nice touches either original or in keeping with period. Good value for money - realistic price for this type of property.

“Englewood Cottage is a beautiful ...”

Englewood Cottage is a beautiful cottage, tucked away from the world. Gorgeous lounge with wood burner. Walks that you can pick up straight out the garden gate.

“Super cosy retreat”

Enjoyed a lovely, relaxing week in this pretty cottage. It was well equipped with everything needed for the week, including some starter fuel for the fire It had snowed before arrival and the cottage and surroundings looked very picturesque. The master bedroom is a great size, with a wonderful four poster bed, which was very comfortable. The night storage heaters were effective in keeping the cottage warm and in the evenings we lit the open fire, which was great fun and gently infused everything with the wonderful smell of wood smoke. A short walk (a mile) from the cottage there is the Hemmel Cafe and the Allenheads Inn - both very welcoming, with fires roaring and worth more than one visit. Take a torch if heading out after dusk, particularly as you'll be walking mostly in the road. A drive in the other direction takes you to Allenheads, which has shops, cafes and a few pubs. We enjoyed a couple of great meals in the Golden Lion. Everyone we came across was friendly. It's a happy place, it did me the world of good and I'll be back :)

“Lovely cosy cottage in which to get away from modern life.”

Stayed at Englewood cottage in June 2015. Had a really lovely relaxing week. The cottage is clean and cosy with an nice décor. On arrival we found the cottage to be clean and well kept and has everything you need. However you are expected to take your own be linen, towels and tea towels which did not worry us but may put some people off. Cottage is pet friendly and our small terrier loved the area and especially looking at all the rabbits in the field directly opposite the cottage. The rear garden is across a shared lane at the back and would be nice on a warm day, however the weather was not kind during our stay and we did not have the chance to use it. The garden runs down to the River Allen. Fishing permits to fly fish the river at various stretches including the area behind the cottage and through the village, can be purchased at the post office in Allendale village, £10 per day or £40 for the week. The river is a great wild fishing venue for small brown trout and a good place to hone your fly fishing skills (Something the owners might want to advertise a bit more). The location is ideal to explore Northumberland and Durham. Bathroom only had a shower attachment on the bath and the electric heating system meant after a single bath the tank had to be boosted if someone else wanted a second bath. Only real point to be aware of is the total lack of mobile phone coverage ( for O2 anyway). So if you are looking to totally get away from modern life this is the place to be.

“More than worthwile!”

We were very happy with the cottage. Very friendly owners and good communication, which is allways a good start. The location is not only very well suited for walks, but also quite central for visits to Durham, Hadrian's Wall, Hexham and the superb area of the moors. Even with the rather extreme wet weather, we had a very good week.Recommended cottage without any hesitation!

“Another Fantastic Stay”

This was our second visit to Englewood Cottage and the fact that we have returned for another fantastic week of relaxation speaks for its self. Once again everything that we could possibly have wanted was catered for in the cottage, sometimes its good to escape from the day to day pressures and we have found our bit of heaven here in Allenheads at Englewood Cottage. Its very obvious from the moment you walk through the door that the owners take a great personal pride in ensuring the cottage has a very welcoming feel about it, for us it was like our little home away from home will most definitely be returning for our next spell of R & R. We arrived at Newcastle Airport on this trip and drive was around an hour in all and the location is very easy to find. thanks again ViV and Mac for the chance to recharge our batteries in preparation for Xmas.

“Beautiful Surprise”

After travelling up from Southampton, Hampshire, we arrived at 10.15pm on a wet November evening, weariness faded upon opening the door to Englewood, as reality was better than Sykes description. The kitchen is well equipped and a dinner party would be easy as there is plenty of cutlery crockery and serving dishes. The next morning we woke to the beautiful view from both back and front bedrooms, and the garden is delightful with a bubbling stream on the other side of the garden. Misty our dog loved it, would have loved to have a swim even more, but not suitable for that as stream flows over rocks. The open fire in the lounge made evenings so warm and cosy and the furniture is very comfortable and easily seats 6. Lots of literature gave us ideas for places to visit. The bed was the best we'd ever staying in, I have chronic back problems and dread new beds, I had perfect nights sleep from day one thank you. We loved the paintings by the owner around the cottage, wanted to sneak a couple home with us! Thank you we will be back.

“Wonderful Escape”

my Parner and I stayed at Englewooed Cottage in November 2010, from the moment we arrived we felt at home, every little detail had been catered for, from the well equipt Kitchen to the fully stacked bookshelves. The weather was bitterly cold outside but the cottage had excellent heating and a lovely wood burning fireplace which made ethe evenings so much more cosier, would definately stay here again and recommend to everyone.

“Lovely Cottage”

We spent three wonderful weeks in Englewood Cottage. Very well equipped and well-kept house. Clean, friendly, quiet place with many possibilities for short and long trips. We had seen many places in this beautiful countryside: Hadrians Wall, castles, High and Low Forces, Lake District, Stone Circles, Galloway Mountains, St. Mary Lighthouse, Edinburgh, Gretna Green, steam engine in alston. The cottage is a lovely accommodation. We and our kids love this place!

“Peace and relaxation in a delightful cottage.”

Second time of visiting; this time with my friend and her dog.I visited last May with my husband. We all had a lovely break and would definitely return. Only the extremely cold and wet weather affected our planned visits, but a cosy retreat awaited us.
