A lovely quiet location in the middle of the countryside yet near to amenities and sights in every direction. The cottage is a little bolt-hole away from the hustle-and-bustle of busy living and perfect for unwinding. It is cosy, comfortable (lovely bed) and tasteful.

Lovely little cottage in very peaceful location. Very clean, lovely colour scheme. Great for a rural escape but also within easy reach of amenities and lots of places of interest.

Our holiday started with a warm welcome to the clean and comfortable cottage. Everything had been considered from a place for outdoor shoes to an extra blanket for evenings playing cards on the sofa. The bed was comfortable and the shower powerful and hot. There was plenty to do in the local area, the suggested walk from the cottage was full of wilRead moredlife and not too tasking. We plan on returning to Curlew Cottage for more adventures and to see how the chickens are getting along. Hide

This is a very nice, well-equipped cottage - small, but fine for two people. Excellent value. Spotlessly clean. Nice welcome from the owners. Left in peace for the week, but owners available if needed. Isolated & peaceful location. A long way from anywhere to eat out (10 miles to nearest pub that allows dogs inside), but ok if you're happy to fullyRead more self cater. Plenty of good places to visit within 40 mins drive. Recommend: Vindolanda, Hadrians Wall, Beamish, Durham. Waskerley Way is good walk Hide

Had a lovely week at Curlew Cottage, looked after by very hospitable and welcoming hosts. Accommodation was very comfortable and cosy. The hosts provided plenty of helpful tips and advice about the location, sites to visit how best to travel an park, plenty of places to find refreshments and to eat.

Delightful cottage but a little remote for me. It is about 15 mins drive from nearest grocery shop. Needless to say it is well equipped and very comfortable. It is in a pretty scenic area and very peaceful.

Delightful cottage in peaceful surroundings. Owners very welcoming, and extremely helpful. The cottage is within easy reach of the Waskerley Cycle Trail, which links with 3 others in the area, and as such a window on the wonderful countryside.
