"We have stayed her before and all was great."
This trip when we arrived the heating sounded like a jack hammer in the house. It was the heating. After reporting an engineer turned up on Monday. 2 Sleepless nights later. When they looked at the system they stated they could not fix it as the room where the fault was was locked. The system became quieter but did not work properly for the rest of the week. The engineer stated it would partially work until the fault was fixed. So we were cold at night. The back door lock was broken and an locksmith turned up Tuesday to fix. There was a broken handle on the entry gate and the rest fell apart but i managed to put it back together to get us in. 1 Handle was broken off on arrival. Overall we love the place and this trip was disappointing due to the problems.
We are sorry you experienced these problems and found your trip disappointing. We want to assure you we did everything we could to resolve the issues as soon as we were made aware of them. We were informed of the problem with the heating and back door on the Sunday evening of your stay and organised the appropriate trades to attend to the problem at the next available opportunity. For the heating this was Monday. On arrival the plumber rang us to explain the situation and to arrange getting a key to the door. He advised us that the guests in the cottage didn't require him to get a key as there wasn't a problem anymore.Therefore he left. We were unaware that the problem hadn't been resolved and that you were cold. We can only apologise for this but had we been made aware of this we could have had the issue fixed. The back door was operational on change over so again we can only apologise for the problem you encountered. We arranged for this to be fixed at the earliest opportunity and the issue was resolved. The gate was left operational. We were aware of a problem with the gate handle from previous guests and had organised for it to be fixed. A temporary fix had been completed ( we are waiting for a part).We are sorry that the temporary fix didn't hold up and for any inconvenience caused. Please accept our apologies and know we did our best to resolve the issues at the earliest opportunity. Property Owner

"We loved Tree Tops for our 3 nights in October 24, 3 walkers plus dog having a go at most of Isaac’s Tea Trail."
The cottage is warm and comfortable, especially the adjoining sitting room and large kitchen with the wood burning stove across both ( which we used- so cosy) The weather was atrocious, but with dog in tow we went out in all our waterproofs. We had some slight reprieves especially walking along the river out of Allendale which was beautiful. Highly recommend the trail, if you have good boots, maps and gear ( and better weather). Could we ask for the following which would have helped our stay? *Clothes horse to hang up wet clothes Also The kitchen tap is dripping all the time The door locks ( including French doors to back) are tricky so perhaps more than just advice is now needed? We are strong and yet still struggled The gate handle needs fixed ( important with a dog to help keep safe as you go in and out) Perhaps a hand towel each would be nice as well as an extra towel in kitchen
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you loved your stay. Thank you for your suggestion of a clothes horse - we will look into getting one. Thank you for letting us know about the tap we will get this looked at. We have got somebody booked in to fox the doors and gate. Thank you for staying at Treetops. Property Owner

"Wonderful holiday let extremely clean and cosy ."
Very spacious and well equipped It would seem to be an ongoing issue locking the front door and also the handle on front gate broken so difficult to keep gate secure to prevent our dogs getting straight out to main road . That was the only niggle in a very relaxing holiday Would love to return to this beautiful place
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you had a relaxing holiday. We are sorry for the problems with the gate and doors. We have booked somebody to come and fix them. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Very nice, comfortable, spacious house."
Underfloor heating made it warm on arrival. The log fire is great. Bathroom shower and bath fantastic. Plenty of kitchen space and facilities for food preparation. Comfortable lounge and good WIFI access, if you need it. Note for owners: half of external side gate handle is missing. Also External door locks were difficult to lock/unlock without human weight braced against door. WD40? Otherwise, many thanks, we enjoyed our stay!
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry you had problems with the doors and gate. We have asked somebody to come and fix them. Thank you again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner

"We booked this cottage looking for a relaxing break and we weren’t disappointed."
Tree Tops is a wam, clean and comfortable cottage in a friendly village in beautiful countryside. The kitchen had a most impressive double fridge/freezer, the shower in the bathroom was excellent with almost immediate hot water and the range of programmes on the television in the comfortable lounge couldn’t be bettered. However being in my 80’s I found the entrance door very difficult, at times nearly impossible, to close and lock properly because of its very tight fit. Despite that minor problem we had a wonderful stay and we returned home refreshed and relaxed. Thanks for making our holiday so memorable. Hopefully we will be able to return in the future. John,Susan and Lyndsay Stanton.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you had a memorable holiday and found Treetops warm, clean and comfortable. So sorry you struggled with the door, we will have this looked at. Thank you for staying at Treetops and we look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Absolutely beautiful cottage with such a calming feel to it and in such a peaceful setting."
A luxurious stay with everything you could need. The little touches like the milk and biscuits was so thoughtful and helpful. I’ve already recommended the cottage to family and friends and we’ll hopefully be able to book for a longer stay next time as a weekend just wasn’t enough to thoroughly appreciate the place. The local area is beautiful too. We went on a few lovely walks - much needed after a busy working week. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable

"We had a wonderful week at Treetops."
The cottage was superb. Extremely clean and well laid out. The kitchen had everything we needed. Comfy beds, comfy sofas, heating whenever we needed it. There were lovely walks straight from the front door and the cottage was very dog friendly with a secure garden. The milk, biscuits etc on our arrival were very thoughtful and appreciated. All round Treetops was fabulous- thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you had a wonderful week. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

"What a lovely stay at Tree tops."

"The home was beautifully presented and clean and equipped with all your cooking needs, and the garden was secure for our dog, there was a small shop just up the road for your essential items also a good park over the road if you have children, and great local walks for our dog."
Just in the next village there were a few shops, cafes and takeaways. This is a great stay for families and we would come back

"We have stayed at tree tops three times now and we loved it more every time."
The place is clean and cozy. The people that live in the area are so friendly and will always smile and say hello to you. My dog loves going on his walks in the area to try and spot the rabbits and loves that there’s sheep so close to him. We will definitely come back here as much as possible.
Thank you for coming back to stay at Treetops. We are so pleased you find it clean and cosy. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Property Owner

"We have had a fantastic week at Tree tops."
The cottage is absolutely stunning and homely, the best we have stayed in. Excellent for the dogs too. Brilliant for watching Red squirrels and location perfect. A great base to explore the beautiful Pennines and the lakes. We loved the village of Nenthead, the locals were all very welcoming, the model village just out the back was a wonderful surprise too. We cannot wait to come back to Tree tops next year, thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found Treetops homely. Thank you for booking with us and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

"Lovely place to stay, perfect location."
A few little complaints like loose flags in the back yard, tiles in bathroom also coming loose and front door very hard to lock from the inside. But we would love to come back!
We're so glad you found Treetops lovely. Thank you for letting us know about the flags, tiles and door. We will get these looked at as soon as possible. So pleased you'd love to come back. Thanks again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner

"Lovely area, great village."
Tree Tops clean and comfortable. One or two little niggles - the toilet seat was broken, outside table was badly burned and the outside area was disappointingly scruffy which let the property down.
Thank you for leaving a review. We are so pleased you found Treetops clean and comfortable and we hope you had a lovely time. Thank you for letting us know about the toilet seat and outside area, we will get this looked at straight away. Unfortunately the outside table was damaged by previous guests and we are in the process of replacing it. Thanks again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner

"Great holiday cottage."
Loved the extra touches (fizz, chocolates, dog treats, fleece blankets). Very warm & cosy (in face we had to turn heating down both upstairs & downstairs as too hot!). We’ll definitely be back.

"This was our second stay at Tree Tops and it was just as wonderful as the first time we stayed."
The property is beautiful, very well thought out and well maintained. It truly is a home from home. The bedrooms are generous in size and beautifully decorated, the beds are super comfy and you're guaranteed a great night's sleep. The downstairs is also generous in size and the kitchen dinning area is the perfect entertaining space. The kitchen is well equipped and having the luxury of a double fridge / freezer is fantastic. The location is peaceful but it also has local amenities within walking distance, and Alston is only a short drive away. There are plenty of places to visit as well and all within easy reach of the property - which makes it a great base for exploring.
Thank you for your lovely review and coming to stay with us a second time. We are so pleased you enjoyed it as much second time round and had a lovely time. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

"Absolutely stunning property, did not disappoint."
We will definitely be returning. The property has been renovated to an outstanding level and in keeping with the age of the cottage. Loved the open plan feel of the downstairs area and the kitchen is really well equipped. The bedrooms are all an excellent size and the bathroom is beautiful. Outside the garden is a decent size but would benefit from an additional gate to stop children or dogs getting to the gate at the front of the property. One last things, the boiler makes a rather large banging noise when the radiators upstairs come on. Overall 10/10 property and outstanding area.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you liked Treetops and had a lovely time. Thank you for letting us know about the boiler, we will get this looked at straight away. Thanks again for staying at Treetops and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

"Our third month in temporary accommodation and we couldn't have chosen better, this time in Nenthead Big, spacious, light and airy, Tree Tops certainly ticked all the boxes."
Great kitchen, well appointed, a pleasure to cook in and a lovely social space for meals and drinks. Comfortable beds, grand bath and shower, lots of hanging space and wooden hangers too ! Lounge in the lounge? we certainly did and the TV with all the channel and streaming options provided endless entertainment. With such amazing scenery on the doorstep and a vibrant and welcoming local community, Nenthead really suited us and we take very fond memories as well as a raft of stunning photos with us as we leave
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased Treetops didn't disappoint and you have fond memories to take away. Thanks again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage."
Very comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The photographs do not do it justice as we much more spacious than we thought Just feel the front gate needs attention in the way of a lock. We did close properly on exit, but found a couple times it was open on our return and the handle fell off a couple times. All in all though, one of the nicest we have stayed in

"Tree Tops is an excellent holiday home, one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed in!"
The location, whilst slightly isolated, was great for touring around different places and we visited Ullswater, local NationalTrust beauty spots and Hadrian’s Wall. I would highly recommend this cottage.

"Treetops is the most delightful place to stay, it is truly a home from home."
It has generous sized bedrooms, with quality furnishings and the very comfortable beds. The bathroom has the most wonderful shower and bath, and again is fitted to a very good standard. The downstairs of the property is also of generous proportions and is very well thought out. The kitchen / dining space is huge and allows for everyone to be together whilst cooking and eating. Both the living room and dining room benefit from the log fire and it makes the place feel even more homely. There are lovely little touches such as a pint of fresh milk in the fridge along with some tea, coffee, biscuits, chocolates and even a few dog treats on arrival - which are very much appreciated. The outside space is also of a good size and is secure which is very useful when taking a dog. There's ample on street parking for two cars (possibly more) directly outside the property and access to the property is simple and straightforward. We had the best time here, it was lovely and peaceful but also only a short walk to the local shop and amenities. We genuinely can not find fault with anything. We had great communication with the owners, who were friendly and polite. Its safe to say we will be returning next year and we can't wait to do so!!

The property
Alston 4.5 miles.
Tucked away in Nenthead, Cumbria, near to the bustling town of Alston, is this contemporary end-terrace cottage, Tree Tops.
Sleeping up to six guests in a spacious property, Tree Tops is ideal for a family or group looking for a getaway in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the North Pennines.
Upon entering the cottage, you are immediately greeted by a bright and airy kitchen/diner, containing everything you need to host a dinner party for friends or family, including a lovely corner couch with a rustic wooden table, double electric oven and Smart TV for entertainment; start the woodburning stove and ease your feet on the underfloor heating after a long day of exploring.
With dinner done and dishes in the dishwasher, retire to the peaceful sitting room just next door for a film night.
Heading upstairs, Tree Tops has three double rooms with storage space for hiking gear or your best going out clothes, as well as a bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower and free-standing bath for a refreshing end to the day.
Back on the ground floor, the French doors in the sitting room lead to a quaint patio with Tree Top’s spectacular stone wall as a backdrop, whilst you enjoy your morning coffee on the picnic bench.
The cottage is just around the corner from a shop, where you can stock up on the essentials, whilst wandering around the quiet Nenthead, which also has the fascinating Nenthead Mines for guided trips underground, the village also hosts The Hive - a converted Weslian Chapel that now is a wonderful licensed cafe, art gallery and craft shop, serving amazing food, cakes and drinks.
For a more bustling village, Alston is a short journey away, with pubs, restaurants and cafes to enjoy, historic cobbled streets to explore and local specialities to try.
A little further south west lies Melmerby, a small village at the foot of the Pennine scar that boasts picturesque views, winding streams and sits at the edge of Eden Valley for spectacular walks.
Just beyond Melmerby, you will find Penrith, a busy town known for its impressive 14th century castle, Roman Museum houses to discover local history and plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing and canoeing, as well as cinemas, leisure and cultural centres.
Resting on the edge of The Lake District, you'll find ample opportunities for walking and watersports.
Perfect for exploring a wonderful area of Cumbria, Tree Tops offers a memorable trip with your loved ones.

About the location
NENTHEAD
Alston 4.6 miles; Stanhope 15.4 miles; Penrith 24.4 miles.
Nenthead is one of the highest villages in England and has a rich mining history. Many mines still remain which are open to the public and waiting to be discovered. The village was also the first to have electric street lighting due to the excess power created by the mining industry. This is a fantastic base for those looking to explore the area as the village has a pub, restaurant, shop/Post Office, children’s play area and a church set in an elevated position. There are a number of attractions available in the nearby area including taking a ride on one of the lovingly-restored steam and diesel engines through the beautiful scenery of the South Tyne valley on the South Tynedale Railway. The River Tyne is also noted as one of the finest salmon rivers in England and day-ticket fishing is available locally. With the entire North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your doorstep you will need to return again and again to the area to explore everything there is on offer.
