“This is a lovely cottage in an ...”

This is a lovely cottage in an ideal position if like me you have dogs and like walking. Close enough to the village to access the facilities it is far enough away to be peaceful. The facilities in the cottage are good and the views are outstanding. The master bedroom is a great size and the bed is very comfortable. The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. Walks along the river are lovely and I saw a kingfisher!

“Lovely cottage in a great area, ...”

Lovely cottage in a great area, very comfortable with super bedding and linen. The owners Norma and David were very welcoming, contacted us to tell us the cottage was ready. After having driven from home in pouring rain we were more than ready for a cup of tea, Norma had filled the kettle and put teabags in mugs ready for us which we very much appreciated. Highly recommend.

An ideal location for walking and cycling.Within easy reach of Stanhope,a town that catered for all my needs. I did not need to use my car for the week that I was there.The cottage itself is well presented. The neighbours were nice and so were Norma and Dave the owners.

We was 2 adults and 1 child.

“NEVER DISAPPOINTS”

We have just returned from our second visit to Footway and it really is just a joy to stay there. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped, cosy, in a lovely quiet area yet close to Stanhope and dog friendly which is very important to us. The owners Norma and David are lovely people and nothing is a trouble to them. We would highly recommend this cottage.

“This is the second time we have ...”

This is the second time we have stayed at Footway and it was just as lovely as the first time. It is very comfortable and well furnished, cosy and in a quiet location, but just a short walk into Stanhope itself. It is also dog friendly which is important to us, and is a good base for visiting the area.

“Delightful!”

My mother and I spent a very pleasant week here in August. Wonderfully clean cottage with everything you could possibly need for a self catering stay. Great location and lots to do, owners even provide leaflets and typed out a list of recommended places. Area is beautiful and the neighbours are really friendly. We visited the town of Stanhope which has a co op and crafts plus some nice cafés. Alex Clark has a boutique there with beautiful gifts. Would certainly hope to stay again. Great cottage run by great people and a great base for exploring Northumberland and County Durham.

“Fantastic!”

We stayed in Footway Cottage for a week in Febuary. We had a wonderful stay, the welcome pack was very good, and even included a crayoning book for our little girl! The rooms are very good, very clean and nice and warm as it was very cold when we stayed. The location is superb, 5 minute drive into Stanhope. The view to the front is great with rolling fields and a stream winding down the hill. To the back is decking and views over the hills, would be great in the summer. The owner Norma was fantastic, even though we never met her ,the communication was great and even sent our child's book back by post which was left in error with a lovely letter telling my little girl that postman pat has sent it back to her! Overall I would give it 9/10, it would have got 10/10 if there was broadband as it would have been handy picking up emails etc, but that is being picky! We shall certainly being going back this year to this hidden little gem as we have family up there, fantastic!

“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.
