Reviews

Recently stopped here with my wife, daughter and dog. Cottage is very well equipped with aĺl of the amenities you would would expect in a home away from home. The hot tub is a welcome addition and in an excellent location away from the house and next to the brook. The bathroom is ok however would benefit from a new shower ( i think this is already in their plans for the future). Parkimg is not straightforward but I was able to negotiate with my wife guiding me in without much issue (I have a nissan qashqai) Overall very impressed with the cottage and would recommend!

We stayed here in august 4 adults with two dogs. This is the nicest place that we have stayed with the dogs for quite some time. The cottage is lovely and clean with everything that we would have expected. The pub down the road is also exceptional. All in all a fantastic week, we will be returning, thank you.

Lovely large and comfortable cottage with great furnishings and wood burning stove. It was situated in a lovely area.

Rated by Mrs Murray reviewed on 13th March 2016

Bilberry Nook Cottage is a beautifully decorated and spacious cottage, with a lovely big patio door overlooking the garden and river at bottom of the garden. Bilberry Nook Cottage gives easy walking access to the Weardale way, miles of signposted walking beside the river Wear. The owner, Joanne, runs a beauty therapy business offering 10% discount to cottage guests. I had a wonderful massage from her. Having a pub nearby with their own microbrewery and delicious food was very handy!

The cottage was beautiful, all new and spotless. The owners were lovely and accommodating. The surroundings are a pleasure, especially the river at the bottom of the garden. Had a lovely relaxing holiday. Would recommend to anyone, especially if you want a holiday with your dogs.

A quiet location, and the cottage was very spacious and well equipped. There was a nice garden and walks on the doorstop.

Rated by Mrs Lovell reviewed on 30th August 2015

This cottage is set in a remote but beautiful location and has plenty of space. It is dog friendly and is adjacent to the Wear. So you can sit outside and listen to the gurgling of the water. The cottage is well maintained and has everything you might need. Westgate is well situated for Teesdale, the Lakes and North Yorkshire. The owners were were very supportive at all stages of the rental process. We will be back!!

A great cottage in a lovely village. The property was very well equipped and furnished - obviously a lot of thought had gone into it.

Rated by Mrs Laws reviewed on 20th June 2015

The cottage was lovely and clean and the back garden was excellent, straight down onto the river, great for dogs. The owners are great hosts, kept themselves to themselves but were there to advise on walks etc.

Rated by Mrs Gallacher reviewed on 31st May 2015

The cottage was immaculate, and the service from the owners was second to none. Would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation, five stars!

The friendliness of the owners was brilliant, they made our comfort and needs their top priority. The place is set between some great walks, perfect for us with the dogs. The kids really enjoyed the things to do around the area too. We would definitely come back.

One of the best presented cottages we have ever stayed in, the owners had gone above and beyond to make our Xmas in their cottage special. Just perfect sums it up. Very highly recommended, we will be booking again soon.

Rated by Mr Muter reviewed on 28th December 2014

Bilberry Nook Cottage is perfect in every way. Weardale is a little known hidden gem of an area and the cottage is well placed to visit many local attractions in Durham, Northumberland and Cumbria. The décor is tasteful, with lots of personal touches and the cottage is well equipped with everything needed for a self catering holiday. One of the best cottages we've stayed in.

Rated by Mrs Aveyard reviewed on 19th November 2014

We stayed here as a base whilst my son went on the Tyne Tour, we took our Beagles who like us loved the local walks on your door step.WIthin 10 minutes you are walking along side a loverly river and then into the open moors. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Couldn't believe the wonderful wheather we had.House was well equipped and we even had Halloween biscuits waiting for us.

Rated by CPM1Bedfrordshire_UK reviewed on 9th November 2014

The cottage owners were extremely welcoming and helpful, giving us local walks to do and places to go. The property was very tastefully done which was especially nice to find when you take dogs, you often get shabby not chic! The location was stunning; fabulous scenery, great garden backing on to the river with lovely patio and seating areas, even lit by fairy lights when it got dark! Just everything a cottage should be; clean, well equipped, nicely decorated & furnished and in a great location.
