Beautiful cottage set in the most awe inspiring surroundings, we are so glad we chose this cottage as the restoration work and passion put into the place is un-beliveable. Spent many happy hours getting lost up in the hills but the best part was coming back to your cosy cottage in the evenings relaxing with a drink by the fire. You have truly made this trip unforgettable, we will hopefully be back later in the year"

Robert and Clare, Cambridgeshire

On arriving at Innkeepers Cottage we knew we had picked the right cottage - the attention to detail was perfect and a lot of thought has gone into the restoration. It was the perfect location for touring Weardale and the Black Bull is not to be missed. A pity we were only here for one week, we will definately be back"
