We had a lovely stay at Vale Cottage. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing and watching stunning sunsets. It's so peaceful here, with plenty of wildlife to spot around the garden. We also appreciated how close it is to the coast, Durhamand Newcastle - really handy. Despite some rain, we enjoyed visits to the Bowes Museum and Hartlepool's Royal Navy dockyard. Definitely a good base for exploring!
Simon Clarke
We spent a lovely weekend at Vale Cottage. The views from the patio and BBQ area are absolutely stunning, perfect for relaxing outside. Inside, the open-plan living space made socialising easyand the kitchen was well stocked if you fancied cooking. The three bedrooms were a good sizeand everything was spotless. The owners were really friendly and thought of everything beforehand, so we didn't need to ask for a thing. Great location for visiting Durham, Beamish, or Seaham seaside. Highly recommended!
