Cottage holiday rentals in Stanley

Genuinely amazing little place to stay, in a beautiful part of the world. We were even greeted with a lemon drizzle cake :) 10/10 would recommend!

We had a lovely stay, however, we would like the hot tub to be a little bit more private. It’s next to the house, so you can’t make any noise. Also, you can only use the hot tub until 10pm. When you pay a £55 charge for this it’s abit annoying. We wish we knew this before hand. There is also not enough towels we could not has 2. So the floor got soaking wet, as there’s nothing to put on the floor no bath mats etc. And there was no bathrobes for the hot tub, that would be a nice extra when paying £55. The towel rail in the bathroom didn’t seem to work. Also, several lightbulbs not working. This is just constructive criticism but we had a great stay Thank you

We had an absolute wonderful two-night stay at this cottage! It's lovely, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-equipped with everything you could need. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, and the hosts were so friendly and quick to respond to all our messages. The location is perfect, just a short few minutes drive to the beach. What truly stood out was their amazing hospitality: we accidentally left something behind, and they sent it to us via next-day delivery without hesitation. We can't recommend this place enough!

A beautiful little cottage not far from Richmond centre. It’s on a steep hill but we didn’t mind the exercise as we had a dog with us and after a days eating and drinking you needed to walk it off! The only thing that lets the property down is the parking, we had a neighbour across the street in the cul-de-sac estate complain to us asking (are you from that cottage?!) to which we politely replied yes and they then rambled about how they were sick of the parking here as it’s an estate for old people etc, did not really know what to say or where to put ourselves with not being from the area, but don’t let that put you off the cottage and the location and surroundings are beautiful, Hannah is responsive and gets back to you with any questions straight away. We will stay again!

Back at Ivy Cottage again, we had another great stay. We love the hut tub and pool table, and plenty of space for everyone. Thanks Jane.

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

We enjoyed a great break in Peewit Cottage, which was spotless and had everything you need. The surroundings were well looked after and amenities great. The little touches, including the welcome pack (best we’ve had and included the dog!) and Prosecco and strawberries to enjoy in the hot tub were thoughtful and lovely. All the information you need is provided prior to arrival or readily available within the cottage. We used the cottage as a base to visit local attractions, all easily accessible by car. Glen was both very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend and somewhere we would return to. Thank you, Jacqueline!

10/10 recommendations!! Stayed here for a couple nights with a group of friends. The cottage was even better in person the photos really don’t give it enough justice. views outside were beautiful. We were lucky to have the hot weather during our stay so made good use of the outdoor amenities like the hot tub and fire pit. Overall an excellent property which is excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend and I personally will be back! Massive thank you to Mark and Michelle!

Elaine greeted us as we parked up and was incredibly friendly and attentive right from the start. We really appreciated the thoughtful breakfast items she had left for us – such a lovely touch! I was staying in the area for a wedding, and her location was absolutely perfect. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely stay, perfect for what we needed it for.

If you are looking for a week off-grid then we would definitely recommend the Hemmel, it was everything we needed and more. Our favourite bits were the views, the peacefulness, and the red squirrels running across the stone wall in the garden! We can’t wait to come back again and explore more of Northumberland. Kate was an excellent host who was extremely helpful and very friendly. We based our plans off her comprehensive local guide folder and filled the rest of the time with the wide variety or board games, books, and DVDs!

Perfect! Exactly what we wanted, the cottage was pristine and equipped to a high standard with everything you need. Although dogs are welcome you would never know that a dog had been anywhere near. The location is secluded and peaceful with great views with horse stables next door and horses in the field. Swallows nesting in the stables constantly flying around. The enclosed garden is ideal for dogs to wander freely safely. Joanna is a great friendly host responsive and only too happy to help. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful place, as Bev says - the place gives you a warm hug. Relaxing, quiet, and perfect rest for us and our anxious rescue dog! Lovely being near the river, lots of birds and wildlife nearby. Felt right at home and hope to return again soon!

Such comfy beds. A bed upstairs and a sofa bed downstairs both great. Excellent.

We stayed overnight to break a journey and the Henhouse was perfect to rest in after a long drive and busy work day. It felt like we turned a corner and found ourselves looking at a lovely view with a nice village feel. Local pub was good for drinks and really well priced but food not to our taste so we drove into Durham for a Turkish meal. Good vibe in the Arkasu . We didn’t meet John and communicated only for instructions as everything we needed was there. Would stay again .

Our stay at Maple Cottage was fantastic! Gladys was so lovely and helpful, and gave us some great recommendations of nearby places to visit. The location was great - stunning views, waterfalls within 5 minutes and 20 minutes drive, a lovely town 10 minutes drive down the road, and some great walking routes nearby! The house itself was lovely, cosy and we felt right at home. The log burner was great and very cosy, everything you could need was in the kitchen, including milk, cooking oil, tea, coffee and biscuits etc that were left by the host for us to use! Lots of pots and pans and utensils for cooking which was amazing. The beds were extremely comfortable and everything was very clean. Finding the cottage was easy and there was more than enough parking. The views were just incredible from here, and the sunset was even better! 10/10, the perfect get away from our 4 year anniversary, and we would love to return!

We loved our stay at the cottage, the space is beautiful. Cozy, peaceful and great vibes. Joanna was the best host, nothing was an issue and she went above and beyond to make our stay more than we could hope for. Would love to come back again!

The perfect place for a weekend getaway! Lots of great places to see in the area. Addy’s cottage had everything we could have needed and more. We made good use of the fully equipped kitchen but had some great recommendations for places to eat out nearby too. The cottage is a clean and cosy space and we couldn’t have asked for more! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

What a great house, had everything we needed, is modern but still cosy, great pizza place (knead a slice) nearby, and fab tea room on the square. Beautiful local walks - deer park, binchester roman fort by the river. Thoroughly recommend and highly enjoyable!

Fantastic location and beautiful home with the added bonus of a sunny garden! We really enjoyed our stay and Michael and Anna were so responsive and helpful, thank you we will be back

Holly and Chris were lovely hosts. Offered us local recommendations, super friendly and messages were clear. They provided basics like milk and coffee/tea, and extras like bread and eggs which were a lovely touch Felt like they were available if needed but also gave us our privacy

A beautiful, private location with plenty of space and everything we needed for a family with young children. The house was clean and beds were comfortable too!

We cannot reccomend a stay at capheaton estate highly enough. A beautiful cottage, with comfortable and luxurious finishing touches in incredibly peaceful surroundings, responsive and helpful hosts. Such a wonderful place to relax, away from the busy world, but close to some great pubs and within reach of key attractions. Would happily stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay , a proper home from home ! Very comfortable and clean , stunning decor, comfy bed and on a lovely quaint quiet street ( even loved the church bells ). Adam was very responsive . Great pubs in walkable distance , Newcastle City centre took ten minutes in a taxi. We ate a nice meal in the Woodmans Arms and beers in the Bay Horse and One eyed Stag , breakfast in the Harry Casper was amazing for the money . Will definitely stay here again if we can .
