Absolutely loved this property. It was clean, cosy and welcoming. Its situated in a beautiful area, with walks from the door, and breathtaking views from every window. We felt totally at home as soon as we stepped through the door, the cottage is equipped with some very nice touches, including beautiful bed linen and fluffy towels. Even a dog towel provided by the front door. We had a 3 night weekend break, but felt we had stayed much longer. We didnt want to leave ! We had a meal and a few drinks at the local, which was nice and welcoming, and around a 10 minute walk away. And also the walk down by the river was a nice peaceful one. We absolutely loved the visits from the horses in the adjoining field too. We would love to return.

It has already been our second stay at this cozy cottage. The cottage had everything that we needed. It just feels like coming home after a day of exploring the North Pennines. The host Sarah is very helpful and kindly left milk, a bottle of wine and some cookies for us. We'd definitely like to come back some day!

We loved our holiday in Daddry Shield, Weardale. It is a beautiful area with fantastic walking and super countryside. Although only away for the week, we could have stayed much longer as there was so much to do in the area. The cottage had everything that we needed and felt homely and inviting at the end of a days walking. We visited Durham and walked on Hadrian's Wall, but the real highlights were those early morning and evening dog walks from the cottage along the River Wear. Relaxing and beautiful.

Remote location, but very useful food store just minute's away. We visited Durham and Roman Fort site Vindalanda both broadly 45 minute's drive, and both filled our day. Beautiful scenery everywhere you walk, bike, drive. Would happily book again, and horses at back window are sorely missed by our family.
