Cottage holiday rentals in Stanley

Really cosy place, awesome decor and a huge bed. Would love to visit in winter to make use of the fireplaces (the weather was too good this weekend!) Hot tub was great and pizza oven fantastic. Thanks for having us!

Amazing stay at Gatehouse Barn. It is a really lovely, homely, welcoming place to stay. Plenty of sleeping options downstairs and up and a cosy living space. Also loads of seating areas outside which were perfect to enjoy the sun. The area is really quiet and peaceful and the location of the barn is extra secluded and private. As a final bonus, the attached spa area was a real treat after long walks (loads of which can start literally from the front door).

A lovely place to stay! Host was very helpful and friendly. Had an amazing field nearby for kids and dogs. Would recommend!

We had an absolute wonderful two-night stay at this cottage! It's lovely, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-equipped with everything you could need. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, and the hosts were so friendly and quick to respond to all our messages. The location is perfect, just a short few minutes drive to the beach. What truly stood out was their amazing hospitality: we accidentally left something behind, and they sent it to us via next-day delivery without hesitation. We can't recommend this place enough!

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!

10/10 recommendations!! Stayed here for a couple nights with a group of friends. The cottage was even better in person the photos really don’t give it enough justice. views outside were beautiful. We were lucky to have the hot weather during our stay so made good use of the outdoor amenities like the hot tub and fire pit. Overall an excellent property which is excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend and I personally will be back! Massive thank you to Mark and Michelle!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage while attending a wedding recently. It’s so peaceful, clean and cosy. Waking up to see the horses in the field was so charming! Helen was a great host. The checkout list was more than we’ve ever come across before, but certainly not hard work and is totally justified. We would recommend!

The studio was ideally located for me to stay while attending a family funeral. Peaceful and private, ideal.

Wonderful place with the comfiest bed ever. Such Wonderful views. watching the swallows. Everything we needed for a couple of nights. Would have loved some milk in the fridge but not too far to local farm shop to stock up.

Bev’s place was a perfect spot to relax surrounded by lovey countryside. Exceptionally clean and homely.

Such comfy beds. A bed upstairs and a sofa bed downstairs both great. Excellent.

Nick's house was easy to find, very clean and tidy. Excellent information on how and when we could get in. Close to the sea front with all the restaurants you could need. I would definitely visit again.

We had a lovely stay! The place was tidy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We did experience a couple of minor issues, like some sockets not working and a brief problem with the hot water boiler. However, the host was extremely helpful and quick to respond, and everything was sorted out promptly. Really appreciated the support — it made all the difference. Would happily recommend this place to others!

Lynnes property was such a great find. It offered us (four adults, two children, one dog), such a great place to base ourselves for our week away. The house is much bigger than it looks in the photos and it has everything you need including loads of useful items for small children (toys, plates/ bowls, toilet seat etc.). We definitely recommend Lynnes place.

Fabulous spacious cottage with good views set in a lovely village, straight out onto footpaths, perfect for walking and exploring a totally unspoilt part of the country. The cottage is very comfortable, the host super helpful if you need anything, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

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.

Spacious and comfortable cottage ideal for a couple in a pretty village by the moors. We enjoyed visiting the surroundings including the city of Durham and Beamish Open Air Museum as well as castles and countryside. On street parking was no problem as we always parked in front of the cottage.

Having previously occupied the adjacent cottage we were delighted to have the opportunity to spend time in the larger High Pasture . We hope to return at the first opportunity as our son , daughter in law , and nine month grandson live close by .

'Elmhurst' is the quintessential English village experience. It is a delightful and extremely comfortable cottage in a quaint little village. The cottage is very nicely and thoughtfully furnished with comfortable sofas and beds. It is very well-equipped and had lots of thoughtful touches including fresh flowers on the table, milk in the fridge, candles and a fire laid in the fireplace. There is a small back patio area where I sat in the spring sunshine and also a small front garden area facing the road. The road is quiet, especially at night. The Bridge End Inn is a nice little pub directly across the road where I chatted with the locals and enjoyed delicious Italian food. Just walking outside the door of the cottage takes you to lovely country walks along the Tyne river and into the woods behind Ovingham. This is a truly lovely place to stay and I'll definitely stay here again. Chris is a friendly, helpful and proactive host - thank you!

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 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!

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!

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 .
