Lovely cosy place with friendly hosts, felt right at home!

Emma Carter

We loved Parcel Cottage! The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. The location is fantastic for exploring Teasdale, with highlights like High and Low Force nearby. It's also a great base for a day at Beamish or visiting Raby Deer Park and Castle. Definitely recommend this place!

Jamie

We had a lovely time at Parcel Cottage! The surrounding area's history is quite fascinatingand the walk along the railway into the village was perfect for our dog. Christine was a friendly hostand the enclosed garden made relaxing in the hottub even better!

Laura

We had a lovely stay with our group of 3 adults, 2 teensand our dog. The owner was very friendly and greeted us upon arrival, always available if needed. The kitchen was super well-equipped, making cooking easy. The garden was mostly secure, just a tiny gap under the gate which we easily blocked to keep the dog safe. Loads of walks right from the doorstep, plus relaxing dips in the hot tub after. We also enjoyed a great meal at the nearby Cross Keys pub. We'd definitely come back again!

Emma Clarke

We had a really lovely stay at Parcel Cottage. It's beautifully decorated, super cleanand surprisingly quirky in a charming way. The peaceful countryside setting is perfect for a relaxing getaway. The secure, dog-friendly garden made us feel at easeand Christine was just the right balance of helpful and discreet.
