Just a stone's throw away from a hub of amenities, and within driving distance to the North Pennines AONB, Fellend House offers a well-equipped base for a countryside escape, inviting four guests and a furry companion. Park up on the roadside before travelling through the enclosed rear yard, offering plenty of space for your dog to roam. Head indoors to reach the fully-equipped kitchen, complete with all the essential appliances to ease your self-catered stay, including a washing machine. Prepare delicious meals to be enjoyed in the neighbouring dining room, or for an alfresco affair, set the patio table in the front garden.
Unwind and socialise in the sitting room, where you can catch up on your latest programmes upon the Smart TV, light the woodburning stove, and cosy up on the plush sofa. As the night unfolds, retire to the two well-presented bedrooms, including a double and a twin, both serviced by a contemporary bathroom with an indulgent free-standing bath; a walk-in shower is also available to suit all preferences. Once you're ready to explore, head into the village to stock up on the essentials or to sample some local menus. You can also visit the local pub The King's Head.
