"We were not aware that the property had a flying freehold so could hear neighbours upstairs, or that neighbours have a right of way through the garden."
Dear Dorothy with reference to your comments I write as follows The flying freehold, I would to think that many properties up the Dales of an age of 1700 would have flying freehold. It is common practice for mid terrace properties to gain access through there neighbours gardens. Regards Ella Property Owner

"This was our second stay at Hawthorne Cottage."
It is so comfortable and homely. It has everything we needed. Also, it's an ideal location for exploring the area. We did plenty of woodland walks and visited many of the areas waterfalls. We enjoyed it so much, we've already booked the cottage again for next year!
Thank you Christine for your feedback so pleased you got a couple of nice days and remember always lots more to visit looking forward to see you all again regards Ella Property Owner

"I have a very nervous rescue dog and didn't realise neighbours have to pass through the garden with the bins."
Noise and people are things she reacts to but fortunately we were out or back door shut when this happened. I appreciated the homely feel and the fire had been switched on in the lounge to welcome us. The shower rooms and kitchen were clean, modern and looked very new. Lovely cottage in a lovely village with plenty of walks from the door, no need to get in the car, but probably wasn't the best fit for us on this occasion.
Sorry to hear of your dog nervous disposition. The property is all double le glazed. Hopefully you will come back again and thank you for your feedback Property Owner

"A welcoming little cottage right in the centre of a lovely village, ideal for visiting our family nearby over the Christmas holiday."
It was full of period character, yet very well equipped and with all necessary mod cons. The Christmas decorations and Welcome Treats were a lovely touch and much appreciated. We would certainly like to stay there again.
so very happy we always try to do our best and your appreciation is very welcome indeed. Hope to see you again Many thanks happy new year to you and yours Property Owner

"The overriding issue was that Sykes added an extra £140 on the original booking when we had to defer the holiday due to unforeseen circumstances which meant that Hawthorn Cottage was overpriced for the accommodation on offer."
The “free parking” was on the opposite side of a busy main road and it wasn’t always possible to park close to the property. Transferring suitcases became a challenge to say the least. The cottage itself was clean and tidy but very small and the lack of privacy both in the front room and the backyard could have been improved upon. The provision of logs for the burner was welcome but a set of saucepans and a bread knife would have been even more so. The packet of biscuits as a welcome pack was pleasant but to be honest, after a long drive, a small bottle of milk plus some teabags would have been more useful. Judging from the comments of other guests in the visitors book, we are in the minority but based on our experiences of many other holiday rentals Hawthorn Cottage was disappointing, sadly; especially in view of the overall cost of the holiday.
I am disappointed that you have chosen to misrepresent my property in this way. Your criticisms are totally unfounded. Could you be confusing my cottage with one of the.many others you have stayed in. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay, cottage was very clean and cosy, bedrooms were large and well equipt."

We were very happy with the cottage - very clean, everything you needed in the kitchen Having the two reception rooms was very nice as it gave each couple an opportunity to either watch tv or sit by the log burner with a book Having direct access to an outdoor space was lovely for the dog - we didnt use the space as we were out everyday exploring the area Good walks nearby and the Fox and hounds oub proived an excellent meal and was dog freindly Didnt get to meet Ella as she was a bit poorly unfortunately but communicated by text and made sure we were happy (hope you are ok now Ella) Thoroughly reccomended

"Superb property and very well equipped lovely surrounding area."
Only downside is there is no shops in the village. Barnard Castle is only 4 miles away so it wasn't a problem.

"We have just stayed in Hawthorn Cottage in Cotherstone."
It has been one of the loveliest cottages we’ve stayed in. It is an old stone cottage with loads of character but it has also been recently modernised to a high standard and is tastefully furnished with a very modern, fitted kitchen. It is very comfortable and cosy. It”s gorgeous to sit in front of the log fire in the sitting room reading a book in the evening. It’s so cosy. Cotherstone is a lovely village too. I’d highly recommend this cottage for a very relaxing, comfortable stay.
thank you for your review I do appreciate it. Ella Property Owner

Nice cottage, one of the better ones we have stopped at although the rugs have seen better days and are a bit thread bare, Pillows not really to our liking but apart from these minor things a pleasant stay, weather was generally kind for the time of year so a good stay

"We really enjoyed our stay at Hawthorne Cottage."
The cottage was so clean and comfortable. Loved all the pictures and knick-knacks which made it so homely. The kitchen was very modern and well equipped. Can't think of anything that it lacked. Cotherstone is such a lovely village and the locals made us feel very welcome. Teesdale is a hidden gem. The scenery is beautiful and we visited some lovely places. Great walks from the doorstep including down by the river and the Tees Railway Path.

The property
Hawthorne cottage is centrally situated in the traditional village of Cotherstone in beautiful Teesdale, and within easy reach of both the North Pennines area of outstanding natural beauty and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, an ideal base for a family or couple.
Like the rest of the village it is constructed of stone and slate and behind the red door it has been completely renovated to a high standard, but retaining many of the original features.
You will be greeted by a warm and welcoming sitting room where you can relax and watch programmes of your choice on the smart television.
Continue through to the dining room with its stone flagged floor and Inglenook fireplace, where you can curl up in a comfortable armchair in front of the log burning stove.
Beyond is a modern fully equipped kitchen with patio doors leading into the sun trap garden.
The ground floor shower room sports a large shower enclosure with plenty of elbow room.
The stairs lead from the corner of the dining room up to 2 charmingly furnished and decorated bedrooms, a double and a twin with an upstairs shower room, again with roomy shower enclosure.
Once you have settled in you can plan your holiday, if you are walkers Cotherstone is situated in the network of footpath’s extending over the whole Dale and the Tees Valley Railway walk goes from Barnard Castle to Middleton in Teesdale.
Further afield is the Pennine Way and the Durham Heritage Coast and Lake District are only an hours drive away ( in opposite directions obviously).
Barnard Castle has of course the castle, a great range of shops especially antique shops and don’t miss it’s Piece de resistance, the wonderful Bowes Museum with exhibits to interest all ages.
Raby Castle is one of the finest medieval castles in England, still occupied by Lord and Lady Barnard and where you can take a fascinating tour and enjoy the restaurant and Deer park.
