Overlooking the River Wear, this converted farm building is peacefully situated in Frosterley in Weardale with in an AONB.
The cottage makes a wonderful base to explore the surrounding area with its rugged upland, fertile valleys and historical landmarks. Weardale is very popular to both walkers and cyclists with its numerous paths and cycle ways.
The cottage sleeps four people comfortably and is ideal for families. The gardens and grounds are shared with other cottage users but there is ample space for everyone. The matured gardens have ponds (toddlers beware), decked patio areas, seating and a summerhouse ideal for a bit of quiet reading time. The gardens prove popular with children who often make use of the swings, trampoline, and games room which has a pool table, games, books, tv and wii console.

We would hope you would find everything in the cottage you need to make your stay a great one.

Friendly hosts and comfortable stay

Very nostalgic with the retro decoration and tasteful Christmas decoration. Lovely old farmhouse property which had fantastic amenities including games room and outdoor water features. Loved having a pool tournament with my wife and son. Went walking around the old quarry sites and riverside which had fantastic views and loved going in the local pub. Highly recommend. Thank you Val for being a lovely host. Hope to return some day with extended family after Covid is long gone

schön gelegen, einsam, hat trotzdem viel zu bieten

sehr gute Unterkunft, sehr sauber, alles ausreichend vorhanden, freundliche Gastgeber, allerdings zu weiche Matratzen. Im Garten spielmöglichkeiten für Kinder und Erwachsene. Pavillon, Grillecke, Spielhaus mit Poolbillard Gesellschaftsspielen, Wii, etc. schöner Teich mit Brücke ideal zum entspannen.

Excellent Weekend

River View Cottage is well appointed for either a long weekend or longer stay and in a good location for exploring County Durham and Northumberland. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are revisiting later in the year and will be bringing our friends with us. Val made us more than welcome.
