Very clean and everything you could need. Great base for exploring the area. We visited Bowlee visitor centre and visited the high force waterfall, weather was very wet but didnât dampen our enthusiasm. If visiting and has been raining make sure you wear wellies or sturdy waterproof shoes . Also visited Hamsterley forest which we enjoyed, Durham castle and Cathedral. Rose cottage had everything we needed , only slight personal criticism was the single bed mattress was too soft for me . But like I say that is personal preference and didnât spoil the visit . We were contacted by the hosts wishing us a pleasant stay and to ring if we had any issues, which gave us peace of mind. Large garden which would be ideal if you had children. We would highly recommend Rose cottage. Final feedback would be leave a pen with the visitor book as we wanted to write a review. Would definitely visit again.

Well equipped. 10 minute walk into the village centre with good butchers and other stores, cafes, restaurants and bars. Nice walks from the cottage and amazing countryside a few minutes drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay and would highly recommend.

Ideal for us and our 2 dogs. Lovely welcome pack for humans and dogs. Very clean and comfortable throughout. Fantastic garden, safe for the girls. Heating very managable, so we could have heat where required. Ten out of Ten for us. Thank you. Already booked again for 2024.
