Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention that the cottage is very clean and well-kept, suggesting a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for walks and enjoying nature, with stunning views over the reservoir. However, the remote setting affects mobile signal, which some guests found inconvenient.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, with the open fire adding to the overall comfort of their stay.
The property is well-equipped according to guests, but some noted the lack of WiFi and a not very powerful shower. The ease of using the oven and the immediate lighting of the fire are positives.
Several reviews mention welcome gifts and homely touches, indicating the hosts' thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, guests should consider them a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Beautiful peaceful surroundings. All facilities were great. Shower not very powerful but managed fine as enjoyed hot bath each night. Driving a must to be able to visit all places or shops etc. Barnard castle/high street and high force waterfall a must see. Only recommendation is to drive to the local reservoir instead of trying to walk down from the cottage as no footpath actually planned out. You have to go through fields and bit of a trek.
