• "Very cosy well equipped secluded cottage with stunning views of the Northern Pennines countryside."

  My stay was in early December but the central heating was spot on. Easy to find from directions and owners Tina and Steve live close by and were always available. One thing to bear in mind is that the bathroom is downstairs but that is a very minor (in)convenience. Well recommended. Easy travelling to either Ullswater, Hadrian's Wall or Teesdale and almost on the Pennine Way. Finally the small market town of Alston is just a few minutes away with a Co op and Spar food shops and petrol station. Well recommended if you wish to get away from it all. .

• "It was above and beyond our expectations, Tina and Steve were amazing."

  The cottage was stunning, beautiful interior design all done by Tina. Our welcome pack was great and included treats for our dogs. Beautiful lambs in the field right outside our cottage,rabbits, pheasants and even a black grouse. Already booked in next year, can't wait. A peaceful and relaxing holiday had by us and the dogs.

• "Beautiful cottage with excellent views, really quiet, really clean and comfortable."

  Welcome pack is a lovely touch, eggs are lovely. Have now booked again. Instructions to get there is misleading but the locals are really friendly to ask.

• "A beautiful cottage - clean, cosy and well equipped with fabulous views of the countryside."

  Owners are very friendly and helpful. We arrived in dreadful weather conditions to treats not only for us but for the dogs too which were much appreciated! Garrigal is a small village just right if you are looking forward to peace and quiet. Would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to a return visit in the future.

• "The accomodation was superb but just two points I would mention."

  The online information did not indicate that the owners house was so close alongside, they were very nice however and to say that there is Wi-Fi is a little misleading as it was more off than on.

  Thank you so much for your feedback, With relation to the Wi-Fi we have looked into this and found there was an issue, I sincerely apologise for this. We have since had the issue rectified and can assure you the Wi-Fi is fully working. I hope you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
