With it being a bank holiday, it took 4 days to rectify the problem. It should be emphasised in the listing that the East Wing is totally unsuitable for the disabled or persons with walking difficulties due to stairs access. Although the surrounding grounds and the views are outstanding and meticulously maintained, there is no allocated area to enjoy a glass of wine and outdoor dining on a warm summer evening. (there is one provided for the Garden Cottage and a small shaded area in front of the main entrance is allocated for the East Wing with some furniture - well beyond itâs sell by date) Apart from the above points the accommodation could not be faulted and is highly recommended.

With many country walks around the village and just a short stroll to the village shop, cafe, pub and restaurant we found Geltsdale the perfect location to experience village life for a few days.
