What our customers say about their holidays

  Pepper Cottage is incredible.

  Abby has done a beautiful job making the house comfortable, homely, fun and practical with so many fantastic touches that make it a real pleasure to stay there. The house is designed and styled tastefully and artistically and she really has thought about what people want from a family holiday. The kitchen is brand new and airy while reception rooms are warm and cosy, stocked with everything you need including great games. The bedrooms are restful and comfortable. There is even a room for the dog and the garden is particularly beautiful. The egg chairs are fantastic! We were made extremely welcome with lovely, generous food/wine/coffee welcome pack. Wolsingham itself is great with so many walks, a fantastic pub with a Monday live music evening (Bay Horse), nice cafe, and Durham just up the road. I didn’t want to leave and I hope to be back at some point soon. Thank you for one of the best holidays we’ve had.

  The house was good value and in a great location.

  Parking was no issue. The sofa was very comfy, the kitchen was very well-equipped and the shower was good. The beds were a little hard, but this may be down to personal preference. Finishing touches were missing (peeling paint in places in the lounge, rough tile edgings on the kitchen, a few glasses not cleaned properly). The main issue which will prevent us coming back was the noise (and we understand that this is beyond the owners' control) - the main road outside was used as a drag-strip at night and the pub across the road ran karaoke until 1.30am on the Friday. All this disturbed me, the dog and meant we didn't get a decent sleep. Overall, a good property and with a little work could probably command a higher price, but the noise was just too much and we won't be returning for that reason alone.

  Pepper Cottage is a lovely, cosy and well- equipped cottage.

  The cottage is in the very sleepy and quaint village of Wolsingham and offers lots of fantastic dog walks nearby. The cottage was super dog friendly. There was a utility / dog room set up with lots of well thought out touches for the doggy family member. The cottage was clean, cosy and well designed. The log burner was delightful after a day out walking & sightseeing. The bedrooms were very peaceful at night with the blackout blinds and curtains. Lovely touches by Abby owner for our arrival with bread, milk, cheese and wine, etc. Abby also went extra mile to check we had enough logs for log burner during a windy night. Highly recommend Pepper Cottage for R & R for an idyllic break, particularly if you have dogs as the cottage & location is so dog friendly!!

  What a fantastic stay we had at Pepper Cottage.

  So grateful that we were given such a lovely cosy holiday home that would allow our 4 dogs. Abby was only a text away providing any advice / recommendations needed throughout our stay. The cottage was soooo well equipped and was lovely and clean. The only issue we had was a lot of places nearby were either closed or weren’t serving food as it was out of season, so if you were to go at this time of year I would suggest properly researching places to visit / eat before hand. Very ideal dog walking field situated at the end of the street, and long walks mapped out through the “AllTrails” app that literally begin when you step out of the gate. We would definitely stay here again and are glad to know we have a holiday in mind for our pooches in the future :)

  Hi we were very surprised at the amount of stairs there were at this property.

  34 in total, all of us are pensioners so we found it exhausting emptying the car when we first arrived. The flat itself was very nice and spacious with a well equipped kitchen with a lovely fridge freezer but alas no cupboard space for food. In the living room there were two settees but these were the type with scatter back cushions and they were very uncomfortable to say the least. My husband used the dining room chairs due to the settees making his back ache. The beds were nice and comfortable, and the rooms were large. It was quite hot while we were staying there and it was very difficult to open the windows and to get them to stay open. We all love Barnard Castle so we will definitely be going there again but we won’t be going to Ronnies Roost.
