Tree Tops

Lovely House, amazing fire place, owners were responsive and helpful.

Quite little village close to Alston town. Village shop is a short walk away, only open at certain times, village pub looked like it was closed.Some lovely walks near by, model village is a short walk away.

A gorgeous cottage, provided a relaxed week, we had a week of awful weather, but we're cosy and comfortable.

We did not manage to walk Hadrian's wall, so we will back.

This cottage was lovely well looked after we had a small leak and owner sorted it out straight away can not fault the location beautiful .

Lovely to arrive to milk in fridge biscuits and coffee tea chocolate. If I had to change one thing missing was no dryer but this would not stop me booking again. Thank you Tracy

Tree Tops is a lovely house in a beautiful and peaceful location.

Great base for exploring the area and it was lovely that we could take our dog for a walk along the river or in the woods right from the house. Convenient parking and the house has all the amenities you could need. Comfortable beds, really powerful shower, lovely bath (great for having a relaxing glass of wine in the evening!) and really nice to have the fire on in the evenings. Easy check in/out. We would definitely stay again! Our only feedback would be that perhaps the bathroom needs a bit of a refresh and there was no information book in the property or emailed to us.

On arrival at the cottage we were pleasantly surprised on the size of the cottage However the overall cleanliness wa somewhat disappointing We had to buy Febreze pet odour spray as the soft furnishings were not very clean I also had to give the house a quick hoover and clean dead flies and cobwebs in a few of the rooms The area is beautiful, however we were feeling that the local village was no existent No pubs but on the Sykes advert claimed there were 2 pubs serving good food No community hub cafe even the mines were only open certain days and certain times We were a party of 4 one of whom is coeliac to find out that there was no where around the village that catered for that requirement where as it’s stated that the pubs and cafe serve good gluten free food We also reported a leak from the bathroom which was coming through the living room ceiling; we had to put a bowl and a towel on the unit to protect the furniture We reported this on Tuesday to Sykes and no one got back to us until the following day at 14.

20 to say someone was attending the property but by that time we had already left to go out for the day A few little tweaks ie cleaning , welcome pack and a list of where to put dirty bedding etc and a must to update the local area information it could be a nice place to stay The owners are clearly very passionate about their home but maybe change who you list your property with

We had such a lovely break at treetops, it's a beautiful house, it was really clean and an amazing sociable space for our family to enjoy.

The kitchen was really well equipped and had everything we needed. The bedrooms were all a great size and comfortable beds. Some lovely walks right from the doorstep, we really enjoyed exploring around the mines. We had an issue with the door lock but it was easy to contact Sykes and the owner got in touch right away which was great. I was in the back bedroom and my only suggestion would be to move the mirror to a more accessible place. The mirror was above the headboard of the bed and no other mirror, so I kept having to stand on the bed to use it. All in all we had a great time and with family living in nenthead I know we'll be booking treetops again soon ...thank you!

The house was lovely and clean, very comfortable beds and lovely powerful shower.

There was no welcome pack or information about the house, rubbish disposal etc, or the surrounding area. House really suited what we wanted, but it was just too far out from everything for us. We did walk around the village and some good tracks for cycling for youngish children, but nothing else, so ended up with a lot of driving. The village does have some interesting spots and a community shop and post office who were really helpful, but is not particularly scenic. The house was really nice but was not in a location I would go back to, more suited to a quiet escape. I booked very last minute so didn’t research enough - no fault of the owners or Sykes.

We had a very relaxing time at Treetops, it was very home from home.

The cottage is beautiful cozy and comfortable. We walked our legs off straight from the front door. Nenthead is perfect for walking, we picked up Jacob’s Tea Trail, there are high stiles to negotiate which wasn’t always ideal to get our labradoodle over but he seems to be crossed with a kangaroo and managed to jump most.

We have just returned from a fabulous break at Tree Tops.

From the time we unlocked the door to the tune we left we had the most comfortable stay. The decor is tastefully done and the detail of the furnishings was second to none. I thought we would be cold so took lots of jumpers. When we arrived the underfloor heating was in and was most welcoming. Together with the Christmas tree lit up it was just magical. I didn’t need my jumpers even when the heating wasn’t on! Everything was there for us and we didn’t even go out for 2 days as it was so comfortable and relaxing. A lovely area to stay and we will certainly be returning. Will whoever designed the rooms and decor, and the gorgeous bathroom please contact me . Thank you very much

We have stayed her before and all was great.

This trip when we arrived the heating sounded like a jack hammer in the house. It was the heating. After reporting an engineer turned up on Monday. 2 Sleepless nights later. When they looked at the system they stated they could not fix it as the room where the fault was was locked. The system became quieter but did not work properly for the rest of the week. The engineer stated it would partially work until the fault was fixed. So we were cold at night. The back door lock was broken and an locksmith turned up Tuesday to fix. There was a broken handle on the entry gate and the rest fell apart but i managed to put it back together to get us in. 1 Handle was broken off on arrival. Overall we love the place and this trip was disappointing due to the problems.

We loved Tree Tops for our 3 nights in October 24, 3 walkers plus dog having a go at most of Isaac’s Tea Trail.

The cottage is warm and comfortable, especially the adjoining sitting room and large kitchen with the wood burning stove across both ( which we used- so cosy) The weather was atrocious, but with dog in tow we went out in all our waterproofs. We had some slight reprieves especially walking along the river out of Allendale which was beautiful. Highly recommend the trail, if you have good boots, maps and gear ( and better weather). Could we ask for the following which would have helped our stay? *Clothes horse to hang up wet clothes Also The kitchen tap is dripping all the time The door locks ( including French doors to back) are tricky so perhaps more than just advice is now needed? We are strong and yet still struggled The gate handle needs fixed ( important with a dog to help keep safe as you go in and out) Perhaps a hand towel each would be nice as well as an extra towel in kitchen

Wonderful holiday let extremely clean and cosy .

Very spacious and well equipped It would seem to be an ongoing issue locking the front door and also the handle on front gate broken so difficult to keep gate secure to prevent our dogs getting straight out to main road . That was the only niggle in a very relaxing holiday Would love to return to this beautiful place

Very nice, comfortable, spacious house.

Underfloor heating made it warm on arrival. The log fire is great. Bathroom shower and bath fantastic. Plenty of kitchen space and facilities for food preparation. Comfortable lounge and good WIFI access, if you need it. Note for owners: half of external side gate handle is missing. Also External door locks were difficult to lock/unlock without human weight braced against door. WD40? Otherwise, many thanks, we enjoyed our stay!

The property was exactly what it says it was very clean and tidy lots of lovely walks in the area scenery was amazing.

We booked this cottage looking for a relaxing break and we weren’t disappointed.

Tree Tops is a wam, clean and comfortable cottage in a friendly village in beautiful countryside. The kitchen had a most impressive double fridge/freezer, the shower in the bathroom was excellent with almost immediate hot water and the range of programmes on the television in the comfortable lounge couldn’t be bettered. However being in my 80’s I found the entrance door very difficult, at times nearly impossible, to close and lock properly because of its very tight fit. Despite that minor problem we had a wonderful stay and we returned home refreshed and relaxed. Thanks for making our holiday so memorable. Hopefully we will be able to return in the future.

Absolutely beautiful cottage with such a calming feel to it and in such a peaceful setting.

A luxurious stay with everything you could need. The little touches like the milk and biscuits was so thoughtful and helpful. I’ve already recommended the cottage to family and friends and we’ll hopefully be able to book for a longer stay next time as a weekend just wasn’t enough to thoroughly appreciate the place. The local area is beautiful too. We went on a few lovely walks - much needed after a busy working week. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable

Enjoyed a lovely stay here with the family.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet area surrounded by many choices of walks. Will definitely stay here again (hopefully with better weather!)

We had a wonderful week at Treetops.

The cottage was superb. Extremely clean and well laid out. The kitchen had everything we needed. Comfy beds, comfy sofas, heating whenever we needed it. There were lovely walks straight from the front door and the cottage was very dog friendly with a secure garden. The milk, biscuits etc on our arrival were very thoughtful and appreciated. All round Treetops was fabulous- thank you!

What a lovely stay at Tree tops.

Amazing property in a lovely quiet location. Very clean , lovely open space. Loved the fire which came in handy during a wet Saturday evening after being soaked competing the mighty hike in the lakes! Would definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future. Thank you!

The home was beautifully presented and clean and equipped with all your cooking needs, and the garden was secure for our dog, there was a small shop just up the road for your essential items also a good park over the road if you have children, and great local walks for our dog.

Just in the next village there were a few shops, cafes and takeaways. This is a great stay for families and we would come back

Fantastic beautiful place we will definitely stay again.

Thanks for an amazing experience

We have stayed at tree tops three times now and we loved it more every time.

The place is clean and cozy. The people that live in the area are so friendly and will always smile and say hello to you. My dog loves going on his walks in the area to try and spot the rabbits and loves that there’s sheep so close to him. We will definitely come back here as much as possible.

Had a fantastic 3 nights at the cottage.

Finished to a high level spec. Everything you need and spacious. Great walks on you're doorstep. Little shop 2 minutes away. Alston 5 minutes away. for Everything you need. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Love staying here we would moving into this our home if we could as we love it that much.

We have stayed here a few time this year and it never disappoints us. It’s a warm comfort and the community it’s very nice and friendly.

We have had a fantastic week at Tree tops.

The cottage is absolutely stunning and homely, the best we have stayed in. Excellent for the dogs too. Brilliant for watching Red squirrels and location perfect. A great base to explore the beautiful Pennines and the lakes. We loved the village of Nenthead, the locals were all very welcoming, the model village just out the back was a wonderful surprise too. We cannot wait to come back to Tree tops next year, thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.

Lovely place to stay, perfect location.

A few little complaints like loose flags in the back yard, tiles in bathroom also coming loose and front door very hard to lock from the inside. But we would love to come back!

Beautiful cottage so relaxing will definitely be back

Lovely area, great village.

Tree Tops clean and comfortable. One or two little niggles - the toilet seat was broken, outside table was badly burned and the outside area was disappointingly scruffy which let the property down.

Great holiday cottage.

Loved the extra touches (fizz, chocolates, dog treats, fleece blankets). Very warm & cosy (in face we had to turn heating down both upstairs & downstairs as too hot!). We’ll definitely be back.

This was our second stay at Tree Tops and it was just as wonderful as the first time we stayed.

The property is beautiful, very well thought out and well maintained. It truly is a home from home. The bedrooms are generous in size and beautifully decorated, the beds are super comfy and you're guaranteed a great night's sleep. The downstairs is also generous in size and the kitchen dinning area is the perfect entertaining space. The kitchen is well equipped and having the luxury of a double fridge / freezer is fantastic. The location is peaceful but it also has local amenities within walking distance, and Alston is only a short drive away. There are plenty of places to visit as well and all within easy reach of the property - which makes it a great base for exploring.

Absolutely stunning property, did not disappoint.

We will definitely be returning. The property has been renovated to an outstanding level and in keeping with the age of the cottage. Loved the open plan feel of the downstairs area and the kitchen is really well equipped. The bedrooms are all an excellent size and the bathroom is beautiful. Outside the garden is a decent size but would benefit from an additional gate to stop children or dogs getting to the gate at the front of the property. One last things, the boiler makes a rather large banging noise when the radiators upstairs come on. Overall 10/10 property and outstanding area.

Absolutely lovely cottage with everything we needed, even provisions for the dog.

Beautiful area, stunning walks right from the doorstep. The layout inside the cottage is great for families, we loved the kitchen/diner. Would definitely go again!

Our third month in temporary accommodation and we couldn't have chosen better, this time in Nenthead Big, spacious, light and airy, Tree Tops certainly ticked all the boxes.

Great kitchen, well appointed, a pleasure to cook in and a lovely social space for meals and drinks. Comfortable beds, grand bath and shower, lots of hanging space and wooden hangers too ! Lounge in the lounge? we certainly did and the TV with all the channel and streaming options provided endless entertainment. With such amazing scenery on the doorstep and a vibrant and welcoming local community, Nenthead really suited us and we take very fond memories as well as a raft of stunning photos with us as we leave

Beautiful cottage.

Very comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The photographs do not do it justice as we much more spacious than we thought Just feel the front gate needs attention in the way of a lock. We did close properly on exit, but found a couple times it was open on our return and the handle fell off a couple times. All in all though, one of the nicest we have stayed in

Glorious property that is wonderfully decorated and has all you'd need for a lovely retreat.

All spotlessly clean. Would love to come again!

Tree Tops is an excellent holiday home, one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed in!

The location, whilst slightly isolated, was great for touring around different places and we visited Ullswater, local NationalTrust beauty spots and Hadrian’s Wall. I would highly recommend this cottage.

TreeTops is a beautiful property, tastefully decorated with everything you need, and so much space and comfort.

It is in a very quiet, lovely little village, only an hour and half away from the Lake District which was a great day trip. It is ideally located within easy reach of shops and pubs. We really enjoyed our stay and thank you very much for your hospitality.

We could not have had a nicer stay at Tree tops.

The photographs do not do the property justice. It was so cosy and homely. The home was so clean and tidy with beautiful little touches. We will definitely be returning! Thank you again for letting us stay!

A fantastic stay at a fantastic cottage.

Very well furnished and modern. Lovely welcome gifts including processo, mince pies, tin of roses chocolates and a pizza. Excellent value for money, would definitely return for another stay.

This cottage is outstanding, a home away from home we spent new year here and we loved it, it has everything you need and more.

Lovely owners amazing decor and very luxurious can’t wait to return

We had a fantastic relaxing break at Treetops.

It truly is like home from home. The cottage is lovely and comfortable, very warm and plenty of space. There are plenty of walks very close by which is great when taking pets. Would highly recommend Treetops.

Treetops is the most delightful place to stay, it is truly a home from home.

It has generous sized bedrooms, with quality furnishings and the very comfortable beds. The bathroom has the most wonderful shower and bath, and again is fitted to a very good standard. The downstairs of the property is also of generous proportions and is very well thought out. The kitchen / dining space is huge and allows for everyone to be together whilst cooking and eating. Both the living room and dining room benefit from the log fire and it makes the place feel even more homely. There are lovely little touches such as a pint of fresh milk in the fridge along with some tea, coffee, biscuits, chocolates and even a few dog treats on arrival - which are very much appreciated. The outside space is also of a good size and is secure which is very useful when taking a dog. There's ample on street parking for two cars (possibly more) directly outside the property and access to the property is simple and straightforward. We had the best time here, it was lovely and peaceful but also only a short walk to the local shop and amenities. We genuinely can not find fault with anything. We had great communication with the owners, who were friendly and polite. Its safe to say we will be returning next year and we can't wait to do so!!

Treetops cottage was absolutely beautiful.

We have been staying in cottages all over Britain for many years now and I can say this was one of the best. Beautifully, tastefully furnished, amazing attention to detail, and the most amazing log burner !!! as well as underfloor heating!! Loved the open plan layout downstairs. Fantastic shower in the gorgeous bathroom. Delightful bedrooms with beautiful beds and quality linens. Krissie has thought of everything and much more!.Just fabulous all round

Treetops cottage was absolutely stunning.

The minute we arrived we felt at home. It had everything we needed plus more. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a complete getaway. we did some walking nearby which was also very beautiful.
