The house is compact but has everything you need including two good sized bedrooms. Wildlife is plentyfull and we even found a young Deer eating the plants in the back garden one morning! Would certainly have no hesitation in staying in Tindale again - but this time in summer! The scenery is impressive and there are walks right from your door.

The only downside was the weather on 2 or 3 days - rain and strong winds! However, this was October and the terrace is located on high ground. So, changeable weather was not unexpected! Hallbankgate and Brampton are a few minutes drive away, so groceries are not a problem (or pubs if you enjoy a drink). The accommodation was fine, but we would have welcomed curtains or a blind in the downstairs toilet. I tried to explore the back garden, but found it to be much longer than anticipated and could not reach its end! The owner has a very interesting collection of books and guides/maps for exploring the wider area and there is plenty to see and experience around Tindale, Brampton and area. I would certainly recommend 3, Tindale Terrace for a small family or a couple looking for something quiet and a little different! I wish I had had more time in which to do some walking in the area, but couldn't fit it in this time.

There is the potential for some nice walking - given reasonable weather! The owner has a small library of interesting and informative books, which were appreciated. A very interesting and extensive back garden and great views of the nearby North Pennine fells.
