Cottage vacation rentals in Cresswell

Sundial is a beautiful cottage, central to Skelton. The cottage is comfortable and has the convenience of a downstairs and upstairs bathroom / shower and a separate utility room. I booked Sundial for the hot tub and this feature didn’t disappoint. A superb way of relaxing after a busy day. We visited Saltburn (walkable along the Cleveland way) and Whitby (I highly recommend the Park & Ride). Before coming home I drove to Marske-on-sea where my dogs and I enjoyed a gorgeous walk along the wide, open beach. Marske has a dog friendly cafe (The dog house) if any dog lovers are reading this review!

we had a lovely restful stay at the cottage and would thoroughly recommend a stay here. The cottage was perfect and equipped very well. There was a large welcome hamper which was much appreciated. We made full use of the pool and hot tub and enjoyed a walk round the lakes. will certainly recommend. thankyou

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!

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!

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).

A lovely place to stay! Host was very helpful and friendly. Had an amazing field nearby for kids and dogs. Would recommend!

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

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!

This house is a home from home. Everything you might need and so much you hadn’t even thought of. Carolyn is an excellent host. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Beautiful welcome basket with both necessities and treats. Sipping bubbles on the balcony watching the sunset; what more could you need. The upstairs lounge was so beautiful, with lots of restful seating, lots of tables for drinks (with enough mats too), nice reading area and a cupboard full of books if it’s wet. We were lucky with the weather, but the house would easily keep you entertained in bad weather. Nice to have fresh flowers. The house was the right temperature and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a lovely surprise. The kitchen and bat(room cupboards have absolutely everything you’ll ever need and more. Great system for leaving all used items in one bag at check-out. Carolyn is a super efficient, super friendly host. Without doubt a fab-u-lous place to holiday. Thank you

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!

Comfortable, clean and tidy cottage in a beautiful location. Fantastic pub on the doorstep (book in advance it’s very popular). Easy access to coast or country. On arrival we found milk in the fridge and Prosecco on the side which provided a nice touch.

We had a great time at Jane’s place in Amble. The location was good for us without a car. There are nearby supermarkets and bus stop and it’s a few minutes walk to the harbour. Warkworth and Alnmouth are in easy reach. Comfort is important to us. We liked the comfy bed / bedding / sofas / footstool / blankets and the smart tv with Netflix. There is a good shower and bath too. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a washing machine. We enjoyed sitting outside to eat in the cute little garden area. Jane was a great, responsive host! Thank you Jane, we will definitely be back!

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 🥹

Very cosy 3- bedrooms terraced cottage tucked away in a quiet corner of the lovely seaside town of Amble. It’s less than 5 minutes walk to the seafront and 10 into the town centre which has some great cafes and restaurants. The cottage is really nicely fitted out and finished. Very clean, neat and tidy. Very comfortable. We liked the booklets giving lots of details of surrounding attractions. Parking is a very short distance away, 100 metres maybe.

Just returned home from a lovely stay in the amazing Bartlehill Cottage. Absolutely spotlessly clean and even nicer than the photos. The garden is beautiful and the woodland walk was perfect for our lively terriers! The cottage is so well equipped and lots of thought has been given to supplying pretty much everything you may need. Furnishings and bedding are super quality and very comfortable. Lowri is the most perfect host, helpful and very responsive to messages. It was our first visit to Northumberland and the Scottish Borders and we'll definitely be returning to Bartlehill to do some more exploring!

The place was amazing! Pictures aren’t able to do it justice! (Must see in person!) The home was very clean, had everything and more that you’d need. It’s been put together with care and attention. (Eg. A nice selection of board games, individual games and group games, leaflets with information about activities in the local area, a physical map and a list of instructions for anything you maybe wondering how to do in the home). Nicola as a host was amazing, kept in contact on the build up to our stay and gave clear and helpful information. Which made us feel really welcomed. Thank you very much Nicola and your team!

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 cottage was lovely. The views of the sea were amazing. The drift cafe was very good. So nice to be that close to the sea.Very nice beach.

Beautiful property in a stunning seafront location. The cottage had all the amenities we needed with a wonderful view of the sea. Nigel and Jane were very welcoming and recommended a bistro in Amble, Jaspers which was one of the best meals we have had in a long time.

A beautiful lodge in a wonderful location. Ideal for a relaxing break when you need to wind down. The lodge has everything you could need, well equipped kitchen and easy to use appliances. Plus the little extras you don’t always get, condiments, tea coffee sugar, toiletries and more. Welcome pack of bread biscuits milk & butter were much appreciated. We loved the airiness and comfortable feel of the place. Would definitely return…. Could actually live there.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful we could not fault a single thing. Everything you could need and more for a relaxing break. It was so lovely and peaceful with lovely views from the living area. Sue is a fantastic host, extremely friendly and gave us some great recommendations. It was our first visit to Northumberland and we will definitely be back and would stay at the cottage in a heartbeat. Thank you once again Sue for a fantastic stay. Tracy and Shane

What a fantastic cottage! It’s spotlessly clean and full of lovely pictures and ornaments. The bedrooms are large and the beds comfy. We loved sitting out in the garden (so lucky with the weather!) almost as much as we loved gazing out at the sea views from the lounge. We had no issue parking behind the house each day. Michael was really helpful and responsive and we LOVED the welcome basket of a locally baked loaf, organic butter, milk and delicious chocolate cake. The beautiful clean beach is about 3 mins walk and there are some nice places to eat and drink in Cullercoats. We loved Tynemouth - we had a nice meal at fish quay, a potter round the lovely shops and the priory is worth a visit. Honestly, can’t rate this highly enough - if we could give it 10 stars we would!

Toft Hall Cottage exceeded our expectations in the location, spaciousness, internal appointment of fixtures and fittings and the level of comfort provided. We were welcomed by Maggie. Mac and Maggie were always available for any queries, but in actual fact, the details provided beforehand meant most of our questions had already been answered. The coffee machine was a really nice touch. The local bird life kept us amused thanks to the abundance of food provided. All in all, a great stay. Would look forward to a return visit

Maple Cottage was a delightful place to be for a much needed week of peace & tranquility. It was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside & felt like a proper home from home. The beds were super comfy & the upstairs living space is the perfect place to chill out after a day out. With high ceilings & lots of light coming in it was spacious & airy while still having that cosy & homely feeling. The kitchen was super well equipped with modern & easy to use appliances & even had a slow cooker. There were thoughtful touches everywhere & Gladys was the perfect host. Fresh milk in the fridge, tea bags & a packet of biscuits goes a long way when you first arrive & it was very clear that Gladys has put a lot of love & care into Maple Cottage to make it feel like a proper home from home. We had a fabulous time & would recommend Bowlees Visitor Centre as the perfect base for short picturesque walks by the river to see some stunning countryside.
