What our customers say about their holidays

  The Coach House really was a perfect place for us to stay and have some rest and relaxation.

  It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and warm and had everything we needed. Debbie and Nigel were close by in case of any problems but we didn't see them to talk to until our last day. They are lovely and friendly and provided some lovely buns, flowers and milk for our arrival. We had some lovely walks into the Wear valley, drove into Stanhope for the butchers and bakers and greengrocers. We had a coffee by the open fire in the Vicars Pele tower in Corbridge. It was freezing outside so it was great to find somewhere to warm up. Our dog was more than welcome in there and was given a few biscuits. We liked the bookshop opposite the cafe too. Information on both places, and more was provided by Debbie before our arrival. I can't fault anything and I can't think of anything that could be improved either. I have recommended the Coach House to family and Friends already. We had the best week - thank you!

  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 :)

  We had the loveliest time away here.

  Nigel and Debbie were so warm and kind, especially to our dog. This impacted our stay, we felt really welcomed and grateful for their kindness. Nice hosts make for a nice stay! The property itself is lovely and safe as it’s slightly tucked away from the main road, it had everything we needed for a week stay including some very thoughtful flowers, cakes and milk on arrival. We loved the garden so much with beautiful views over the village and fields onward. The surrounding areas are all very lovely too and we were surprised how dog friendly they were, our dog was able to join us in most charity shops and spaces which was a bonus. We would definitely recommend staying here and if we return to the North, would absolutely stay again.

  Overall, a really great stay.

  Would highly recommend. There was everything we needed and more. The welcome basket was a great touch and some goodies for the dog wasn't expected, they thought of everything. The house was bright and airey and generally comfortable, although we didn't sleep too well on the really soft beds with giant pillows, we know this is our taste and personal preference so doesn't impact my score or view at all, but I'd suggest if you prefer flatter pillows to take your own. An L-shaped sofa would work really well and just give that extra comfort and intimacy for small families. But out 2 year old daughter and 9 year old dog enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Will tell friends! Thank you.

  Lovely stone built cottage, so pleased we booked it Once inside it was so peaceful & cosy Dog friendly places are hard to find with 3 pooches with a sealed garden, even had dog beds, bowls and a few tasty treats too The kitchen was well equipped, with 50/50 fridge freezer, dishwasher washing machine & tumble dryer The large bathroom was downstairs, lovely hot shower, could possibly do with an extractor fan The stairs are quite steep leading to 2 larger than average double bedrooms, tastefully decorated, with very comfortable beds If you needed anything the friendly owner was only a phone call away The welcome tray was very much appreciated by us We will return soon
