About this property

Butterfly cottage, dog friendly, great price 24th-29th Aug due to cancellation

3rd most wished for property in the UK on Airbnb during 2022 for under £100! Privately managed with owners near, no corporate letting agency managing. The cottage is comfortable, a multi stove log burner and stunning views. Has it's own Balcony in peaceful area. Secure garden. Doggy guests warmly welcomed. Walks on the doorstep and based on the borders of Northumberland, Co.Durham and Cumbria, ideal for a range of jaunts in the region. Butterfly Lodge our converted cart house is also proving a hit. Have a look!
The space
Smashing converted hay Barn. Up dated and redecorated. Open plan living area with Vaulted ceiling and wood burning stove, kitchen/ dining area. The cottage is fully central heated and guests have control of the system via the Hive control. There are views from all the old thick deep set windows and main stable style door out to the Decked balcony overlooking the Valley and Pennines toward Teesdale. Going downstairs to a nicely decorated bedroom with fully tiled Bathroom with full sized bath and newly installed thermostatically controlled shower and dressing area and large Durham Cathedral cloisters Mural. Good quality King Sized pocket sprung and memory foam mattress and Luxury Alpaca duvet and pillows, which are natural fibre and hypo allergenic. Spare pillows and blankets are also available in the draws.

Now with Alexa smart speaker and HD music.
If you are looking at a motorcycle holiday why not stay with us? Secure parking and washing facilities for your bike/s. We are now also able to offer a complimentary half day or full day motorcycle tour. See the seldom travelled roads of Weardale or an extended trip to Hadrians Wall country where you will be taken on road and off road (loose gravel) byways to get that illusive picture. Weardale is well known by motorcyclists for it's interesting roads but most stay on the main routes and miss a lot! Why not join me for a good day out?
Guest access
Guests have full use of the One bedroomed cottage with their own door and gated area and fully enclosed private garden for their sole use. They have their own dedicated parking space in front of the cottage.

Cottage was very cute, dog friendly garden and clean throughout.It is very remote in the hills so a car is a must. My husband is 6ft tall so found it small and couldn’t stand up straight in the shower. There wasn’t anything to do within walking distance, unless it’s walking you want to do.There were 2 dogs next door who were quite barky when our dog was in the garden which was a bit annoying.The hosts left a gift package which was welcome and the cottage was well equipped with everything you need.
