We stayed in The Wayside Cottage run by the Burnside. A lovely quaint little cottage. Functional and quirky shaped kitchen. Pleasant living room which besides the usual sofa and table, also came with a rocking chair! The bedroom was spacious and also a little quirky. And most importantly, the bed was very comfortable. Other than a door to the bathroom and walk in changing area, it was all open plan. It was also set in a very picturesque area. We paid extra to have breakfast each day and that was well worth the money. The fruit salads, cereals and full English cooked breakfast really set us up for the day. And Jemma, the host, was very down to earth and helped us with some of our planning for the days.

Other than there being no power shower, the bathroom was perfectly adequate for our needs.

If you're looking for countryside peace and quiet, look no further. The surroundings are spectacular, and the tiny studio had everything I could need during my stay with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast, served from 7 to 9, was excellent, freshly served with locally produced ingredients. The host was lovely and very helpful. Loved the sound of the birds and crickets.

Not a negative, but a few things to bear in mind. There's bad or no phone signal, so if you use SatNav to arrive, you may need to download the map first. If you are a light sleeper, and need complete darkness, you may want to carry with you a sleeping mask as blinds do not completely black out.

Wayside cottage was absolutely lovely. It was very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The location was ideal, and our host, Jenna, was helpful, charming, and thoughtful, the perfect host! It felt like a home from home... but better! We would thoroughly recommend a relaxing stay at this venue in the Pennines 🙂

The lack of WiFi was the only snag as we do like to plan our next days activities by looking them up on a website for planning our journey and the opening times, etc. Especially in an unfamiliar area

We stayed in a wonderful holiday cottage, which looked like it was renovated from an old stable of some sort. The Holiday cottage for two (twin beds) was absolutely perfect. It was fully equipped, under floor heating (lovely for when we went during the winter month of February) it was warm and very comfortable. Jenna was super friendly and very accommodating and thoughtful with everything, from ringing us up to check how our journey was to the holiday cottage from London, to providing us with whatever we needed. Breakfast isn’t to be missed out. It was the best thing to set us up for when we stayed up to go to a friend’s wedding at Healy Barn.

The only bad thing is that there is no signal for those on O2 network (sorry I can’t comment for other network providers). However! There is working WiFi in the holiday cottage and a working TV with plenty of channels to choose from.

This is a lovely traditional cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was comfortable and there were lovely big soft towels. The kitchen was very well equipped and the WiFi worked well. We were cycling during the day so it was lovely to come back to a warm cozy cottage. The pub for food is across the road and there's a bar selling pizza very nearby.

We had a lovely 2 day stay here, the location was great, lovely and quiet with nice outdoor spaces.The hosts have it just right, very helpful, friendly and considerate I thank them for making us and our 2 dogs feel welcomed and making us a great breakfast each morning in the conservatory. The chalet was clean cosy and comfortable with all we needed at hand ( a few fun old fashioned games to use and great local information) we all slept well and had everything we needed at hand

My little dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Burnside. It exceeded all our expectations, and we had a super holiday. Facilities were excellent, with one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Good quality bedding, warm, cosy room, plenty closet space, lots of hot water in the shower, and more than sufficient facilities in the kitchenette. Loved having our own front door, much easier with the dog. Topped off by an excellent breakfast, good long breakfast slot, and very pleasant, friendly, welcoming hosts. First class. We will most definitely be back.

Nothing at all.

The host Jenna was always on hand to give suggestions for touring and to attend to any enquiries. Breakfast was fabulous ..good range of cereals, fruits, nuts and a full English breakfast as requested. We loved the patio area for sitting out and the animals , chickens, horses just a short stride up the hill. WiFi worked well; Smart TV.. Cottage was, clean, comfortable and well thought out with board games, books of the area etc. Nearest town was Stanhope, about 15 mins with a full range of shops, pubs, cafes etc. Great base to your Weardale. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Burnside, would return and can recommend.

Nothing to fault. Our needs were well catered for

Jenna was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for me. Very helpful also with places to visit. Breakfast was great she was especially helpful re gf food, even giving me the left over bread to bring home. It was all so nice I stayed a night longer than originally planned.

Nothing.

Jenna was really lovely, very welcoming. The location is beautiful, the grounds are lovely and the cottages are a great size and have everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious every day. We visited as a family and had a toddler and dog with us and everything was great. High chair and child friendly cutlery was a bonus. Thanks so much we'd love to visit again in the future!
