Belle View Cottage Details
Belle View Cottage was lovingly converted 30 years ago from old farm buildings. The owners, Phil and Sue, live in the adjoining house and are keen walkers and are always happy to recommend walks, whether short strolls or serious hikes. The area is stunningly beautiful and full of industrial heritage from the lead mines and quarries in the area, as well as rich in wildlife - we have had many types of birds in the garden including Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, Woodcock and Cuckoos, with Grouse, Curlews and Oystercatchers on the moor around us. Our other close neighbours are sheep and of course their lambs.
The cottage sleeps 3 people (one king, one single room) and includes WiFi, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, towels, bed linen, 43” television, Blu-Ray DVD player and Wii, plus there is parking for two cars and secure bike storage. We welcome guests with up to two well-behaved dogs.
We don't have e-charging facilities at the cottage, but guests with electric cars will find charging points in the Dale, the nearest being at Stanhope, 6 miles away.
Included in the price:
Oil fired central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels, tea towels, oven gloves and Wifi. Guest also receive a welcome pack including biscuits, milk, tea and coffee to get you started.
We don't charge extra for the view or for that chilled feeling our guests always leave with!
