“A lovely cottage in a very scenic area.”

Facilities very good, apart from difficulties in lighting the log fire in spite of many attempts!

“This a beautiful cottage.”

Contrary to other reviews, the bed was very comfortable and I was not disturbed by the outside street light. It is right in the middle of Middleton, very convenient for local walks around this stunning part of the country.

“Really good and helpful service”

“The mattress, pillows and protectors are needing replaced.”

Bed was very soft and dipping into where others have lain. Lovely village.
Mr Crawford July 2019

“Cottage was fine - a good location with amenities close.”

However, the one big moan I have about booking through Sykes was that after booking, I was continually bombarded with ads for Sykes on my computer - most of which were for the cottage I had booked! This was just really annoying - I was obviously very unlikely to book the same - or another cottage - before I had even been to the first one. I'm not talking of the occasional wee add in the corner of the page; Sykes bombarded my internet, making it a struggle to even read the BBC news. Whilst I will certainly return to the area where the cottage was located, I would never in a month of Sundays use Sykes ever again.

“Single senior male stayed seven nights.”

The cottage met expectations with the following exceptions. Location exceeded. Extremely convenient for all activities and a grocery shop only a minutes walk away. Kitchen exceeded. Modern with all conveniences. Only the master bedroom and bathroom used. Mattress was soft and somewhat uncomfortable. Owners to check quality and age of mattresses. Artificial lighting in the bathroom and other rooms insufficient. Steep stairs to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Would not suit tenants with mobility constraints and or young active children. This should be stipulated in the listing.

“A really comfortable cottage, well equipped and in a superb location.”
Mrs Elliott January 2019

“This is a very comfortable, well equipped cottage.”

However, the thin curtains in the front bedroom are a problem with the street lamp right outside the window. I had to sleep in the back bedroom because of this, which is a shame as it could be so easily rectified with a pair of blackout linings. Apart from that, we were very happy, and very much enjoyed our stay in Gentiana Cottage .

The cottage was fantastic in every way but one,it states en suite but it's not one of the bedrooms is on the landings which was a bit annoying as we are a bit older we like our privacy so it did spoil it a bit ,

“Excellent Cottage!”

Simply loved it. Excellent cottage in a great location, and very convenient for Middleton's shops. And Middleton itself was a great base for exploring the surrounding area.

“Long Weekend Break”

Just back from a long weekend in Gentiana Cottage. We found it to be a lovely cottage in the heart of the village. The property is a real home from home and has all you are likely to need for a break away. Wifi would have been a nice addition as phone and internet signal are not great on some networks. But that is just a suggestion. We would stay again. The parking is on street but we had no problem getting a space during our stay. Darker curtains in the main bedroom would be nice as the daylight comes in and the street light is directly outside the window and lights up the room through the night. But other than that enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

“Fabulous cottage in lovely Middleton in Teesdale”

We stayed here over the May Day Bank Holiday and had a wonderful time. The cottage is ideally situated with good on street parking directly outside the cottage and everything in the village in walking distance no more than a couple of minutes to everything. Everything you need is in the cottage and has a very comfortable king bed in the main bedroom with ensuite bathroom and comfortable twin room and a further bathroom upstairs. Everything was spotlessly clean and Janette the housekeeper was extremely helpful. Middleton is a great place to stay with lots of good days out to be had in this area, fantastic fish and chip shop and excellent meal had in the Brunswick Arms hotel on the Saturday night. Highly recommend this cottage.
