  Excellent cottage.

  Brilliant hostess, thankyou for the goodies. Parked outside on street fine. Very clean and tidy. Had lots of kitchen items so you can easily make meals or eat out locally in an abundance of nearby eateries. Super impressed to find washing up liquid, hand washes, soaps, tea towels, dish cloths, plenty of toilet roll, toiletries, hairdryer, washing line. We made very good use of the brolly and clothes maid which we definitely needed the super wet week we had. Some hooks to hang up to dry our wet coats would be good maybe over the kitchen radiator, it'd be useful for dry coats too. We'd love to come back again and revisit some attractions as well as try some new ones we couldn't fit into our week at Mill Cottage. It's an excellent location a very short walk to the shops, play area and river.

  We very much enjoyed our stay at Mill Cottage.

  It's very clean and comfortable, and very well-equipped. We were very grateful as well for the collection of goodies left by the owner; we always bring basics like tea and milk, as we've been stranded before, but the chocolates and wine exceeded our expectations! Wolsingham is a beautiful village, and there are some terrific walks in the neighbourhood. Not all the amenities (such as the pub) were open because of the partial lifting of the COVID regulations; but there is a very well-stocked local shop,an independent bakery and an excellent Italian restaurant, 'Buon Appetito', only two doors down from the cottage, where we were able to eat at an outside terrace. All in all,this was a great venue for our first post-lockdown holiday, and I would definitely stay there again.

  A lovely welcome from Julie who showed us around the cottage and told us about local places to visit and eat.

  The cottage is beautiful; it’s spotlessly clean and has absolutely everything you could possibly need. It’s tastefully decorated and the beds and sofas are SO comfortable! There was a welcome basket containing wine, chocolates, coffee, tea and biscuits with milk in the fridge...a very generous and special touch. The village is lovely. The cottage is in walking distance of the shops, cafe etc and everyone is so friendly. It’s also very central for visiting other places in the area too. We had a lovely walk down by the river, had a meal at the local Italian restaurant and enjoyed numerous cappuccinos at the cafe along with a little trip on the Weardale railways! Would definitely recommend this cottage; we’d definitely like to go back!

  Many thanks to Julie for sharing her delightful holiday cottage.

  The cottage has been beautifully and tastefully renovated, and the furnishings and amenities make for a very enjoyable stay. The generous welcome basket, quality linens, towels and toiletries add an extra special touch. The beds in the cottage are the most comfortable we have ever come across in a holiday let. We loved having breakfast in the sunny and colourful courtyard garden. The village of Wolsingham has superb walks from the doorstep with good small shops and various pubs and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the ale and company at the Black Lion. It is a great spot for trips into the dale and for going a bit further to Durham or Newcastle. Highly recommended.

  Beautiful cottage.

  Everything very fresh, modern and newly fitted. The cottage features underfloor heating, which we got the hang of. A welcome pack would have been useful to explain such things but equally could have asked the host who welcomed us by text message from the get-go. Minor niggle would be the internet being lower bandwidth than we have at home, but probably we’re spoiled with our speed at home and we do stream all our tv viewing. We worked with it as you cannot have it all. Lovely bathroom and layout in the lounge-kitchen-dining area upstairs. Location is super for all sorts of reasons. Lots of places to visit for all kinds of holiday. Would go back in a heart beat.
