Cottage vacation rentals in Butterknowle

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Really cosy place, awesome decor and a huge bed. Would love to visit in winter to make use of the fireplaces (the weather was too good this weekend!) Hot tub was great and pizza oven fantastic. Thanks for having us!

Amazing stay at Gatehouse Barn. It is a really lovely, homely, welcoming place to stay. Plenty of sleeping options downstairs and up and a cosy living space. Also loads of seating areas outside which were perfect to enjoy the sun. The area is really quiet and peaceful and the location of the barn is extra secluded and private. As a final bonus, the attached spa area was a real treat after long walks (loads of which can start literally from the front door).

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. The location was lovely and peaceful and the hosts were really helpful and friendly.

what an absolutely amazing place to visit, with one of the moat picturesque views of the Yorkshire Dale anyone could wish from right in the backgarden. the cottage is spotless and has everything you could want for a break away.

Spent 3 lovely peaceful days here! The place is spotless. Easy to check in, but quite a late one for standard check in times. Even with surrounding neighbours there was minimal disturbance.

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

Fabulous stay at HOTH. Beautiful cottage with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. WiFi was great and instructions to find the cottage were very clear and easy to check in. Fabulous location in the delightful village of Hawes - so many lovely places to eat and fantastic walks from the doorstep. Definitely recommend visiting the local creamery and Simonstone Hall for a drink with a great view! Our second visit here and sure we’ll be back for a third!

A really cosy, home from home cottage with a beautiful enclosed garden overlooking the surrounding countryside. Very well equipped and very tastefully decorated. The bathroom is a real treat. Thank you Debbie.

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

We had a great stay at Elm Tree Cottage! The house is beautifully decorated, really clean and they’ve thought of everything you may need during your stay. After travelling 3 hours it was great to arrive to a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, cake and bottled water - helped us out before our Tesco delivery arrived! (Thank you again!) The local area is so peaceful, the people are really nice and the walks are endless. Ed and Caroline are great hosts, they respond quick and provide lots of information over messages and also in the cottage. We visited the local pub and enjoyed the fish and chip van that goes there every Thursday! The cottage is a great base to then explore walks further out and lots of lovely towns not too far to visit.

We had an amazing week it was perfect for the dogs straight out to the Valley Gardens and a good sized, secure garden. Amenities were close to hand including train station and bus stops we didn’t use the car all week. Stunning walks and friendly bars and cafes. The Outlook was an amazing property we can’t recommend it enough. Also check out the spa hotel 🥹

The Nook was an absolute delight to stay at. Immaculate, tastefully appointed and with such attention to detail. When staying at most self-catering properties, there is always something you wished had been provided but Brynne & John had thought of everything - kindling, matches and wood for the fire, toiletries in the bathroom, salt & pepper and tin foil in the kitchen, plenty of books, lots of candles - the list goes on! Stunning garden setting provided lots is outdoor seating to read a book, enjoy a glass of something cold or dine al fresco. A superb property with wonderful hosts. We will definitely be staying again!

Holmlea is a lovely little cottage with off-road parking in the heart of Mickleton. There’s two decent pubs in the village (Blacksmiths for beer, the Crown for food) both of which are easily walkable. The Teesdale Railway Walk is nearby, ideal for exploring other nearby villages and getting out into the country. The cottage itself was spotless, a cosy retreat for a couple and their dog. Very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Take a book, the tv signal is poor but you don’t go to this part of the world to watch tv. Will definitely be back soon.

what a beautiful cottage. Decorated perfectly, cozy and quaint. we walked every day from the cottage. It's perfectly placed. The sun room was perfect to chill in on a summers evening. Comfortable bed which is always needed after long days I the sun

We had a lovely stay in the cottage over New Year’s Eve. The wood burner made it feel very cosy, and it’s really well equipped - it has pretty much everything you might need for a few nights stay. The location is perfect for walking - we did a couple straight from the cottage, with really varied landscapes which were absolutely stunning, including rivers, big vistas and farmland, ending with an excellent pub in Gunnerside. Just a couple of things, which wouldn’t bring my review score down but worth noting - we couldn’t get the washing machine to work, which didn’t really matter to us but worth checking with Harriet if it’s an essential. Also, the hairdryer wasn’t great so worth bringing your own if your hair takes hours to dry like mine! Lastly, the sound system is pretty old and doesn’t have Bluetooth, so better bring a speaker if you like listening to music. Overall, we loved the cottage and had a fantastic stay!

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!

We had a lovely stay at The Hayloft while visiting my sister who lives nearby. We love the area and the cottage is in a lovely peaceful location away from the main road and with footpaths on the doorstep. We had lots of great days out revisiting places like Richmond, Barnard Castle and Deepdale Wood and Raby Castle. The cottage was very clean, cosy and well equipped with a lovely view of the fields from the bedroom and a beautiful private garden. The bathroom has also been updated really nicely since the photos were taken for the listing and really exceeded expectations. Thank you for an amazing break. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Great accommodation with all amenities you could require. Walking distance from bars and restaurants, with easy parking Friendly and proactive service. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return In future.

A beautiful cottage, which is even better than the photos show. Everything you need, clean, a lovely outdoor space and comfy beds. Children’s toys, gorgeous bath and welcome wine/crisps were an added bonus. Sue was very welcoming and no problems at check in etc. We will be returning! Thank you.

A lovely relaxing stay at this wonderful peaceful cottage. Felt like a home from home, so much so that we've just booked to stay again in July! The cottage had everything we needed and more. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, very quiet, near a good market town with independent shops (butcher, baker, vegetable shop, craft shops). Within easy reach of lots of places to visit in an area of the country that we hadn't really explored before - went on a guided tour of Durham Cathedral, rode on the Weardale Railway and visited Beamish Living History open-air museum. Lovely to meet Sarah, very welcoming and enjoyed talking to her - thank you for the cakes. Sarah sent good recommendations before our trip for food so we could book, including Buen Appetito in Wolsingham and The Fox and Hounds in Cotherstone.

The cottage was beautiful and we loved our stay there. The location was perfect for walks and exploring the area. The cottage was very well equipped with beautiful soft towels and luxury linens, the bed was very comfy too! It really was a home from home and we not hesitate to stay here again.

What a find! The cottage ticked all the boxes for us, really comfortable no problems , Allison was a perfect host Really enjoyed our stay we'll be back. Steve & Lorraine
