We had a fabulous stay for a few days in Parcel cottage, tucked away in the corner it was peaceful and perfect for a few days of nothing at all.

Parcel Cottage is lovely, clean, comfortable and quirky and set in beautiful, quiet countryside. The secure, dog friendly garden was reassuring. Christine is informative and there when needed, but discreet at all times. The Welcome pack was an added bonus and much appreciated. The Hot Tub was relaxing after walks. Unfortunately the weather was agaiRead morenst us - Storm Ciaran, but the selection of board games on offer passed some time. Parcel Cottage is a lovely Home from Home. Hide
Kathryn
Gorgeous house which is furnished beautifully. Amazing views and garden. Really relaxing stay, we had good weather which was a bonus. Stanhope is only a few minutes drive away and has everything you need and a lovely river walk and stepping stones. Lovely Italian in Wolsingham, 15 mins away. Would recommend taking mosquito spray to keep the bites t o a minimum as it's near the river and later afternoon evening they like to come out. Would definitely recommend this house.
Richard
Really delighted with our holiday here. Parcel Cottage is furnished to the highest tastes which made our stay all the more relaxing and comfortable. The hottub is really nice and our labrador loved the garden. So much to see and do locally in this outstanding area - high moorland, waterfalls, fishing, really nice small towns and villages. Owners ve ry pleasant and helpful.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and furnished to a high standard. It had everything we needed, the garden was perfect for our puppy totally enclosed. The hot tub was a lovely treat at the end of the day. Location very quiet, private and peaceful. Would love to visit again!
Joanne
This cottage is stunning with everything you need, huge garden with hot tub. Love the decor with all the unique furniture, pictures and ornaments. Great lights everywhere too but bear in mind no blackout blinds in the bedrooms so take an eye mask. Lovely walks on your doorstep, great little pub just 10 mins walk away. Walk into Stanhope is lovely a long the disused railway track, High force waterfall was a lovely day out too
