Dr Brotherstone August 2020

“Comfortable, modern cottage in a good location, next to Crook golf course.”

Mobile and WiFi signals were strong and we enjoyed walking the dog in the surrounding countryside. Handy for Binchester Roman fort and Bishop Auckland castle.

Mrs Wood August 2020

“Beautiful cottage, with all the home comforts.”

Stayed here as a family of four. Everything was clean and like new and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. Owners have made it really dog friendly with dog bed, blankets, throws, bowls and treats waiting for our two dogs. Weather could have been better but the beautiful scenery and peaceful setting made up for it. Was a much needed break after having previous holidays cancelled due to Covid-19.

“Stable Cottage is very comfortable,cosy,clean and beautiful!”

It is in a delightful setting,peaceful and quiet.It was our first visit to County Durham and surrounding area and the beauty of the countryside and coast is absolutely breathtaking.It was also the perfect place to stay to visit our family who have just recently moved to the city of Durham and we are looking forward so much to visiting again. Delightful places to visit;Seaburn Beach,Hadrian's Wall,Seaham,great fun searching for beautiful Seaglass and the most delicious Fish and Chips eaten by the coast in lovely sunny surroundings! The perfect holiday destination for our family aged 3 to 63! Thankyou!The Jackson Family,Ringwood,Hampshire,London and Durham.

Mrs Dyson August 2020

“We have just returned from a long weekend at Stable Cottage and we had a great time.”

The accommodation was beautiful and very clean and we settled in very quickly. The outside area was lovely and due to the nice weather we spent most of our time there. It is well located with shops only a 10 minute drive and we visited Durham a couple of times which is fabulous city. We will definitely return to this cottage

“There is not enough seating in the lounge for 4 people to sit comfortably.”

We had to carry a chair up from one of the bedrooms. Everything else is great

Mrs Pritchard April 2019

“In the features it says outskirts of village of Crook I would say it’s more like a town not village It also says garden/patio under Features and under amenities Enclosed garden and furniture So when I viewed the cottage online I presumed the bench and patio was the front by the house and the enclosed garden with furniture would be at the back of the cottage which there wasn’t I think it should say patio with seating area and gravelled drive with two small grass areas and small flower bed.”

I think it was a bit misleading as our dog having arthritis and bad legs didn’t like crossing the stoned area to the grass. The cottage inside was lovely.

- Mrs Pritchard, April 2019
Miss Addison October 2018

“This was a most warm and clean cottage which catered for us and our dogs with dog bed, towels treats and a welcome 'hamper' for us too.”

It was in a great spot for visiting lots of places in the NE. As it was on the edge of a small town there were facilities nearby but no road noise at the cottage as it was well back from the main road. Would stay again if holidaying in the area.

- Miss Addison, October 2018
Miss Howes September 2018

“Very nice place to stay ...”

Mrs Hitchen August 2018

“Relaxing, quite spot, ideal with dogs but plenty of places to visit in the surround area.”

- Mrs Hitchen, August 2018
Mr Royds August 2018

“The house was lovely, the location was lovely.”

Sheep out of one window, horses out of another! The property has been renovated to a really high standard and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. Lovely welcome hamper with milk and wine in the fridge, and there was a few treats for the children included too. Leaflets for local attractions were handy, and we enjoyed the games and DVDs available too. Nothing bad to say!

- Mr Royds, August 2018
Mrs Vause August 2018

“Lovely well presented cottage.”

Very peaceful and a nice welcome pack which had treats for the dogs too.

- Mrs Vause, August 2018
Mr Sorby July 2018

“Stable Cottage was lovely, it is a real home from home.”

Modern and built to a high quality it is a credit to the owners John and Tracy . The welcome pack was a big surprise. We would like to return to visit an interesting part of the country.

- Mr Sorby, July 2018
Mr Emptage February 2018

“Because of the weather conditions I have had to stay at stable cottage for a further two days.”

Three is no problem with that also they took me to the shops two days to do my shopping. They went out of there way to help me out the problems that the weather had caused to me. But now I am having to go home on the 05.03.2018 Derrick Emptage

Mrs Ward January 2018

“Used the cottage to visit family in the local area.”

Was absolutely ideal and stunning. John and Tracy were brilliant hosts leaving nothing to be desired and a beautiful welcome pack.

- Mrs Ward, January 2018
Mr Drew September 2017

“Cottage fantastic and the welcome hamper a lovely touch.”

There were even treats for the dog. John and Tracy very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We loved the well equipped and comfortable open plan living room and the view out onto the fields. It is even better than it looks in the photos. Cottage proved to be in an ideal location to explore Weardale and Durham. Plenty of dog walks, good bus service and the Coppermine pub round the corner well worth a visit. Excellent mobile phone signal so intermittent wifi not an issue. Had a great holiday despite the rain. Would we book again? Absolutely!

- Mr Drew, September 2017
Mr Dunn September 2017

“A beautifully furnished property.”

In a beautiful part of the country. The only adverse comment is there is no internet in the property, although the owner did give us the password for the main house the signal was so weak it would not eve recognise the network. The internet is non existent not intermittent and I rely on a good internet connection for my job.

- Mr Dunn, September 2017
Mr Ferguson August 2017

“John & Tracy very friendly & helpful nothing to much trouble lovely flowers and hamper nice touch (and a bottle of wine) milk in fridge all you would except beautiful views and looking onto horses and sheep nice and quite peaceful, central location for Durham and other areas plenty walks for dogs.”

Shops only a short drive or 15 mins walk. Cottage spotless and doge made to feel welcome..
