Cottage vacation rentals in Stanley

Genuinely amazing little place to stay, in a beautiful part of the world. We were even greeted with a lemon drizzle cake :) 10/10 would recommend!

Family (2 adults & 2 kids) loved our stay, very well equipped and a lovely place to stay. Football goals and football was a good addition - the playground is no longer there but kids enjoyed their stay.

Our second time at the gorgeous Preston Mill Loft and it was just as wonderful as we remember. Super dog friendly, the upgraded hot tub is IMMENSE, comfy bed, welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen. The lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Stayed here a few times now, for times when were going to events. Each time we visit we love Stanley cottage and the surrounding area a little bit more. It’s a lovely cottage with everything you would need for your stay. Great hosts, we will definitely be here again.

Back at Ivy Cottage again, we had another great stay. We love the hut tub and pool table, and plenty of space for everyone. Thanks Jane.

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

We enjoyed a great break in Peewit Cottage, which was spotless and had everything you need. The surroundings were well looked after and amenities great. The little touches, including the welcome pack (best we’ve had and included the dog!) and Prosecco and strawberries to enjoy in the hot tub were thoughtful and lovely. All the information you need is provided prior to arrival or readily available within the cottage. We used the cottage as a base to visit local attractions, all easily accessible by car. Glen was both very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend and somewhere we would return to. Thank you, Jacqueline!

Amazing stay with my family, lovely host, the most comfortable beds and a added extra of fluffy robes and slippers to use x

Could not fault The Hemmel at all. Absolutely beautiful. The accommodation, surroundings and view was exceptional. Ezra our labradoodle loved the enclosed garden. From the greeting off Kate, the beautiful homemade cake and flowers left for us, watching the red squirrel and the beautiful Northumbrian countryside and beaches, there was nothing we did not like about our stay. If we decide to come back to this neck of the woods, this would be our first pick. Five stars and beyond.

Perfect! Exactly what we wanted, the cottage was pristine and equipped to a high standard with everything you need. Although dogs are welcome you would never know that a dog had been anywhere near. The location is secluded and peaceful with great views with horse stables next door and horses in the field. Swallows nesting in the stables constantly flying around. The enclosed garden is ideal for dogs to wander freely safely. Joanna is a great friendly host responsive and only too happy to help. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful place, as Bev says - the place gives you a warm hug. Relaxing, quiet, and perfect rest for us and our anxious rescue dog! Lovely being near the river, lots of birds and wildlife nearby. Felt right at home and hope to return again soon!

Only point is parking is a 5min walk away

Anna was a perfect host, quick to respond to any questions. The cottage is in a great location with lovely views overlooking the fields. The cottage itself was nice and cosy, well laid out with all the facilities that you'd need. Everything was clean and easy to find. The welcome card and hamper was a nice touch. There are lots of walks around, we had two spaniels, we took them around the village and on the old Teesdale railway line. We also went up to High and Low Force waterfalls which is only a 15 min drive away. A great weekend stay despite the Saturdays weather. Would definitely book again if we go to the area.

Lovely cozy cottage on a farm with a beautiful view from the veranda. Kind, hospitable hostess Susan had provided everything we needed and was a joy to chat with. My cat and I had a fabulous time exploring the grounds together. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed overnight to break a journey and the Henhouse was perfect to rest in after a long drive and busy work day. It felt like we turned a corner and found ourselves looking at a lovely view with a nice village feel. Local pub was good for drinks and really well priced but food not to our taste so we drove into Durham for a Turkish meal. Good vibe in the Arkasu . We didn’t meet John and communicated only for instructions as everything we needed was there. Would stay again .

Our stay at Maple Cottage was fantastic! Gladys was so lovely and helpful, and gave us some great recommendations of nearby places to visit. The location was great - stunning views, waterfalls within 5 minutes and 20 minutes drive, a lovely town 10 minutes drive down the road, and some great walking routes nearby! The house itself was lovely, cosy and we felt right at home. The log burner was great and very cosy, everything you could need was in the kitchen, including milk, cooking oil, tea, coffee and biscuits etc that were left by the host for us to use! Lots of pots and pans and utensils for cooking which was amazing. The beds were extremely comfortable and everything was very clean. Finding the cottage was easy and there was more than enough parking. The views were just incredible from here, and the sunset was even better! 10/10, the perfect get away from our 4 year anniversary, and we would love to return!

We loved our stay at the cottage, the space is beautiful. Cozy, peaceful and great vibes. Joanna was the best host, nothing was an issue and she went above and beyond to make our stay more than we could hope for. Would love to come back again!

The perfect place for a weekend getaway! Lots of great places to see in the area. Addy’s cottage had everything we could have needed and more. We made good use of the fully equipped kitchen but had some great recommendations for places to eat out nearby too. The cottage is a clean and cosy space and we couldn’t have asked for more! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

What a great house, had everything we needed, is modern but still cosy, great pizza place (knead a slice) nearby, and fab tea room on the square. Beautiful local walks - deer park, binchester roman fort by the river. Thoroughly recommend and highly enjoyable!

Probably the best Airbnb we have stayed in to date. Extremely well equipped cottage in beautiful surroundings. Very helpful owners. An ideal spot for exploring all that Northumberland has to offer. Thanks for having us!

Holly and Chris were lovely hosts. Offered us local recommendations, super friendly and messages were clear. They provided basics like milk and coffee/tea, and extras like bread and eggs which were a lovely touch Felt like they were available if needed but also gave us our privacy

A well equipped house with character which was a great place to spend a week exploring the south of Northumberland. The house has character, is in a quiet spot on a hill overlooking fields and is well equipped. John was there if we needed him and always chatty and helpful when. We'd definitely stay again!

A beautiful, private location with plenty of space and everything we needed for a family with young children. The house was clean and beds were comfortable too!

We really enjoyed our stay , a proper home from home ! Very comfortable and clean , stunning decor, comfy bed and on a lovely quaint quiet street ( even loved the church bells ). Adam was very responsive . Great pubs in walkable distance , Newcastle City centre took ten minutes in a taxi. We ate a nice meal in the Woodmans Arms and beers in the Bay Horse and One eyed Stag , breakfast in the Harry Casper was amazing for the money . Will definitely stay here again if we can .
