Cottage vacation rentals in Stanley

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

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hannah’s lovely home! Beautifully furnished and the hot tub kept our children entertained. Richmond itself is lovely and easily walkable. And the Yorkshire Dales are just a stones throw away. We would recommend to anyone and look forward to returning!

Jane met us on arrival, explained everything, then left us to chill out. The welcome pack and fresh flowers were a lovely gesture and were much appreciated. The cottage was spotless and felt extremely homely. We very much enjoyed the games room and enclosed hot tub. The garden areas were vast with lots of outdoor furniture. We enjoyed a lovely ice cream at Archers ice cream parlour (10 min walk) and experienced both pubs in nearby Heighington, very friendly, great food and service in the George & Dragon. Another recommendation is the nearby Raby castle, definitely a worthwhile visit. We definitely recommend staying at Ivy cottage and look forward to returning there again. Thank you Jane.

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!

Mark’s and Michelle’s home is by far the best place we’ve stayed in. Everything’s exactly what was in the description— all the amenities are well cared for and the attention to detail are well thought of. So you can also expect a luxurious and pleasant getaway for a reasonable price. Thank you again to you both for your warm hospitality! We’ve had perfect and relaxing weekend rest. We’ll for sure come back— a little longer stay next time.

Excellent we enjoyed it very much. We definitely will be back. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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

This is a beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It’s in a great location to explore Northumberland but very quiet & private. We self catered but there were plenty of places to eat out in walking distance if you want. We self catered and every piece of equipment you need is in the kitchen, including an air fryer. Our only disappointment was not getting to use the log burner as it wasn’t cold enough !!

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

What can I say... Absolutely fantastic place. You couldn't ask for anything more. Really peaceful location with fantastic views of the hills etc. We had a strange issue but this was sorted out very swiftly by Malcolm 👍 We will definitely be looking to book again and have another peaceful time just watching the world go by. Thanks Bob & Chris

This was one of the nicest places we have stayed in very many years. Carol was a delight and the cottage had everything one could want. I was impressed by the number of books available, it was a joy.

We had a wonderful time at the Garden Rooms. The house and garden were beautiful, and such a great way to experience the springtime. House was clean with full facilities, including charging for electric vehicle. Vanessa was on hand to answer all our questions, and to make us feel really welcome. The area is full of things to do, with great restaurants close by in Corbridge, and castles, beaches and activities not far away at all. Many thanks to Vanessa for helping us have a great Easter holiday!

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.

We had a lovely time at the cottage. The location is beautiful and private with gorgeous views and very quiet and peaceful. There were peacocks , pheasants, goats and 2 very friendly cats, they were all very quiet and non-obtrusive. If you are an animal lover you'll greatly enjoy them but if you're not they were never in the way and they were very quiet.The location is perfect for visiting Hadrian's wall, to go on lovely nature walks, shops are a very short drive away.The cottage itself was immaculate, spotlessly clean, well appointment, very comfortable bed and couch, it had everything we needed and more. The photos don't do it justice, it's such a beautiful place, very spacious and bright and hands down the best place we've stayed in over the years.Christian was lovely, friendly, quick to respond , kindly left us some refreshments as well and he'd set everything up to perfection. We hope to return as we had such a lovely time and I encourage everyone looking to book with confidence !

We needed a place to stay while our bathroom was being remodelled, and it needed to be close to home so we could check on the progress of the work. Violet Cottage fitted our needs perfectly. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked with essentials (the chocolate biscuits were a bonus) and was simply everything we’ve come to expect from an Airbnb Superhost. Grant was very responsive when we had questions and generally made sure our stay was entirely to our satisfaction. For out of town visitors, this place is close to the city centre, close to the river and close to a lot of facilities, both for basic needs and entertainment. We highly recommend Violet Cottage.

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 🥰🥰

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location. Great base for exploring nearby Hexham and Corbridge, and Roman ruins such as Vindolanda, Housesteads and Hadrian’s Wall. Very well equipped kitchen, much better than average, with all the kitchen utensils you need. Very friendly and welcoming host. Would highly recommend.

All round lovely stay. Everything was perfect and exactly how described. Really lovely, cosy space with everything you need. Fiona seems really lovely and was very quick to respond to any queries I had. Price is really good for area and what you get. Perfect getaway

Have just spent 4 nights at Elmhurst. Beautiful, traditional cottage with all of the home comforts. Wood burner, well stocked with logs. Very well equipped cottage. Chris really is the best. Highly recommended.
