Please note: There are steps in the grounds. This property has a natural water supply from a spring. There is a raised fountain within grounds 10 yards away.. The Stables is a stunning property and sits in an elevated position with grand views over rolling countryside, just outside the popular village of Stanhope in the Durham Dales. Within the extensive grounds, there is a variety of seating areas, picnic tables and loungers - something here for everyone. Completed in July 2022, The Stables has been finished to an exceptional standard. Care has been taken to allow for accessible entry for less mobile guests, or wheelchair users.

The spacious open-plan living space has huge floor-to-ceiling windows bringing the outside in, the leather corner sofas are positioned to take full advantage of this. A suspended egg chair is bound to be a firm favourite, while a wall-mounted Smart TV provides entertainment. There is a large well-equipped kitchen/dining room, boot room, a utility room and a separate toilet. The bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements for £20 per bed split on request.

Outside, enjoy a dip in the hot tub at an extra charge of £10 per night booking. This is in a smaller courtyard garden, a great way to relax after a busy day. Amble down to the fountain to find a quiet spot to read a book or enjoy an al fresco supper. As night draws in, take a warm throw to wrap up and sit and experience the amazing starry skies above. The children will love the activity play area. To cater for your stay, grocery deliveries from the major supermarkets are available.

The village centre is approximately one mile away with an excellent variety of local amenities, where you will find pubs, tea shops, cafés, butchers, bakers, and takeaways. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Stanhope is often referred to as ’The Gateway to the Dales’. There are many established walks, cycle paths, and routes running directly from the town and out toward some of the traditional villages. Also ideal for children is the Weardale Railway which stops in Stanhope, and covers an 18-mile heritage line that chugs through parts of County Durham and has different events all year round. Other attractions include a visit to Raby Castle, or Barnard Castle with its lovely riverside walks and the famous Bowes Museum. Two horses, dogs and cats live on the property.

Excellent cottage in a great location with lovely views across the dales.

Excellent cottage in a great location with lovely views across the dales. Had everything we needed to have a fantastic weekend break. Fixtures and fittings are to a high standard, with quality products provided throughout. Hot tub in the courtyard was great. Ideal place for dogs both in the cottage and the fenced paddock. Communications with host very good. Would love to return in the future.
