“Fantastic”
We was moved to Footway cottage after moving from the holiday cottage the we originally booked ( which was unfit for us to stay in)
We was so pleased we had to move as this cottage was perfect, beautifully clean and in a fantastic location.
On arrival we was welcomed by Norma, the owner. She showed us around and told us what we would need to know.
Their was a lovely welcome pack, milk, coffee, tea, sugar, breakfast cereal and she had even brought our son some chocolate, so very thoughtful.
We had an amazing few days. We visited, Beamish, Carlisle Castle, Barnard Castle and other local places of interest. The only downside was we didn't have long enough there. We will definitely go back next year. Thank you David & Norma.
