  • "Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, with everything you need during your stay."

    The cottage was spotlessly clean and tastefully equipped and decorated. The owners were on hand if we needed them. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Jack's cottage.

    It is beautifully presented and very comfortable. Well situated too in Wolsingham with shops, pubs and other facilities in walking distance. The accommodation is warm, comfortable and modern. Everthing was perfect for a week's break.

  • "This lovely cottage in central Wolsingham in Weardale Co Durham is the ideal base for enjoying this area."

    The careful and creative property renovation provides first floor living and kitchen accomodation with ground floor bedroom and spacious shower room that works really well to offer a confortable and spacious cottage. Definitely a place worth more than one visit! A warm welcome and help required if needed .

  • "Beautiful cottage, parking was a little tricky at times but always managed to find somewhere."

    Everything in the cottage was to a high standard as was cleanliness. Lovely and peaceful and really nice hosts whom although live next door leave you alone unless you choose to interact with them which i had the pleasure of meeting upon arrival. I would recommend Jack’s Cottage to anyone wanting to stay in the region without any hesitation.

  • "A comfortable, well appointed cottage with modern facilities."

    Fortunately we brought our own shower mat as one was not supplied. Also, there was no " welcome pack" and no instructions re heating controls or WiFi password with which we have come to expect in Sykes cottages. We would recommend that these be provided in future.

  • "Jack's Cottage is a lovely property, ideal size for a couple."

    The design is well thought out, very comfortable, light, airy and plenty of space. There wasn't anything that we were left wanting or needing. It was ideally situated for us so that we could visit historical sites during the day and have a comfy base in the evenings. It's not often we say this but we would definitely stay again.

    We loved the bathroom en the nice kitchen. The whole property was allmost new and decorated with love. The owners Derek and Jacky were very welcoming. There is a lot to see in the area and Wolsingham is a nice place for exploring the area. We loved the Pennines, Cragside, Durham, and of course the Angel of the North. Derek gave us nice tips about sightseeing and restaurants. We loved the Duke of York in Crook. We would visit Jack's cottage again when we would stay in the area.

    The lounge and dining area are very bright and airy and the underfloor heating keeps it at a comfortable temperature which can be altered if required.

    Although there is no allocated parking, this was not a problem as there is plenty of free parking very close to the property. The area is definitely a walkers paradise, plenty of walks on the doorstep.

  • "Beautiful cottage."

    Everything very fresh, modern and newly fitted. The cottage features underfloor heating, which we got the hang of. A welcome pack would have been useful to explain such things but equally could have asked the host who welcomed us by text message from the get-go. Minor niggle would be the internet being lower bandwidth than we have at home, but probably we’re spoiled with our speed at home and we do stream all our tv viewing. We worked with it as you cannot have it all. Lovely bathroom and layout in the lounge-kitchen-dining area upstairs. Location is super for all sorts of reasons. Lots of places to visit for all kinds of holiday. Would go back in a heart beat.
