Cottage vacation rentals in Bishop Auckland

A very peaceful and quiet retreat in a lovely part of the North East. It was so quiet and relaxing spending time in the hot tub and inside the cottage. Although this is no fault of Rachael's and/or the cottage please be wary that if you're over 6 foot you will be ducking a lot! I banged my head twice coming out of the bathroom when going during the night and still half asleep (again, this is nothing against the host or the location - just a pre-warning!)

Lovely house, Courtney is friendly and super quick at replying to any questions. Awesome location and we’ve all said we’d happily book to stay again when visiting Newcastle x

Gatecroft barn (& spa!) is a delightfully quaint little cottage in a fairly remote part of the North Pennines area. My wife and I were looking for somewhere almost off grid, from which we could walk our dog, enjoy walks together and indulge in a spot of fell running. We needed it to be not tooooo far from some kind of shops and close enough to drive if we fancied somewhere special to eat. We were also looking for somewhere with a little something else, a cherry on top. Well we found that, in spades! Garrigill is picturesque and then some. There are walks/ runs from the front door! The cottage is well equipped. The hot tub (the cherry on top!) is perfect for after the adventurous days in the great outdoors - hygiene and cleanliness of which is exemplary. The host was as helpful as you could hope for (def one of the better hosts we’ve come across!) and made some great recommendations - most of which we used and welcomed! Including a meal at Langley Castle. We’ll definitely go back… 5*

I absolutely loved our stay at Barnacre Alpacas, we stayed in the rose cottage, it was very clean and the hot tub was a bonus. We enjoyed the alpaca walk and talk, that was something I’ll never forget! On arrival the cottage was dressed up for a birthday surprise and champagne and chocolates was left for us. Thank you to Paul and Debbie, we will be back!

Stanley Cottage is a little gem, near to the beach, easy access to supermarkets and in a friendly neighbourhood. The hot tub was a highlight, along with the outside room with its ensuite and TV.. a hit with my teenager. Thoughtful supplies on arrival. Thank you Ben.

A beautiful and cosy home which was spotlessly clean and as described. It had a well equipped kitchen and the hot tub was ready to use on our arrival. I only wish we had stayed for longer!

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!

Hot tub was fantastic, loved every minute of our stay, so relaxing, can't wait to book again.

We were a group of friends walking the Herriot way and Leeside provided an overnight stop. Carey was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed the open fire and the cosy surroundings. We would not hesitate to recommend Carey to family and friends

Beautiful cottage located in Hawes, self contained village with decent pub offering great food, plenty of cafes, supermarket and shops and above all, stunning walk routes.

We had a lovely couple of days at Brandybuck cottage. Superb location in the heart of Kirkby Stephen with the high street a minute walk away and some gorgeous walks around the local area straight from the cottage. The cottage itself is a real home from home with a well equipped kitchen,comfy beds and a decent shower. There was plenty of space for our family of 4 with 2 older children(who appreciated the TV in each bedroom). Communication from the host was excellent with directions and check in details clearly explained so arrival and check in was a smooth process. Parking is on a road to the rear of the property which again was clearly explained and Marks directions took us to the exact place to park with further clear directions from there to access the rear of the cottage. Tea,coffee,sugar,milk and a packet of biscuits was provided upon arrival which was a nice touch and much appreciated. We booked this cottage as a last minute break and it is a real gem of a find.

Absolutely perfect little get away in a lovely area. My girlfriend really liked it and wants to go again. Very cosy and private place with a little garden for the dogs. Beautiful surroundings will 100% be booking again. Very responsive host even though we got there late. Thanks again

My third stay at Nicks place was brilliant. Looking forward to going again soon.

We booked The Nest last minute and Anette was extremely attentive from the start to finish of our stay. The house was exactly as described & was immaculate. Bed was so comfortable & lots of attention to detail! Great location for exploring the local area. Pub right across the road with good pub grub , Co Op literally paces away& a fabulous foodie pub The Eskdale is a 10 min walk away. Thank you Annette we loved our stay as did our dog !

Very comfortable cottage,nice furniture,clean linen,good communication,great value for money,highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Haven cottage. It was our first holiday with our baby and the cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and easy, with a travel cot, baby bath and even a baby carrier provided by Anna. The cottage was lovely and the location was perfect being a short walk to a pub, cafe and lots of country walks. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again!

Abbey Hill Cottages to high above W. Hartlepool. They are well equipped.Beds are comfortable and so is sitting room furniture. Plenty of hot water. Good shower.Lots of space. I would stay again.

Great location for exploring the Yorkshire Moors. Comfortable cottage and lovely scenery. We enjoyed the equine neighbour!

An absolute gem of a cottage in a beautiful place. Loved the cottage so much - felt so homely and was a perfect place to venture off into the surrounding areas.

Jays place is a wonderful cottage. If you like peace and quiet then this is perfect. Listening to the Curlews and Oyster catchers in the mornings and the sound of the stream opposite was perfect. The house is very comfortable and clean, with everything you need to self cater, and not far from local pubs and restaurants. There are plenty of walks right from the door in all directions. The only problem we had was not wanting to leave at the end of our stay.

We had the most wonderful time at Joanna’s lovely cottage. It is even better than we imagined! The garden space was perfect for our dog, she could stay off the lead and we knew she was safe because of the wiring on the fence. Great location with lots of walks that were recommended on a leaflet left in the cottage which we found really helpful too. We would definitely return and recommend to others! Thank you again 🥰🥰

Thank you once again for a lovely stayand your friendly manner. The location is fantastic for the dales and the local pub is 3 mins away and serves lovely food. The cottage is really cosy and we will definitely be back again.

Hen Cottage faces newly planted fruit trees in front of a low stone wall enclosing a stone barn in a farmer’s field. Has a bench out front so you might want to park a little down the road so to not block the charming view. Inside is shipshape and snug with a robust warm shower. Galley kitchen had good knives, etc., and full-size cooker. John lives behind and, though we never met him, dropped off a couple of items I requested ASAP.

Atte Combe was a brilliant place to stay while we explored Northumberland by car, the location is excellent and within 10 minutes to any amenities. We loved the house, especially the decor, and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was well stocked and the shower worked very well. The kitchen also was well stocked with hot drinks and even milk on our first day. Angela even left some lemon cake and cheese scones which were delicious and much appreciated after a long journey. The folder under the table inspired several of our trips, including one to a local curry house! Thank you for a brilliant stay and holiday! Sam, Joy, Andy and Nat
