“We have been to this property for a few years now and since we have been there have always been little things that have been commented on already that have never been fixed.”

There are loose tiles in the bathroom, beds are uncomfy, there is always cobwebs and bugs around the property, we tend to have to give it a hoover when we get there. The bedding doesn’t fit the beds properly. There were orange stains on some bed sheets in the 2nd bedroom. The garden this time was full of weeds, it seems that there isn’t a lot of love for keeping the place any more which is a massive shame as we have brought our little boy here since 2023.

I feel as though we are going to have to find our new favourite spot in the lakes as this place has lost a bit of its wow factor unfortunately!

Hello. Thank you for your comments and bringing them to our attention. We are sorry that this was your experience. We don't complete the cleaning and change over ourselves - we have a company that does this for us and we were not aware that this is how the property is being presented to guests. Please be assured we will look into this and raise your concerns. We have had someone in to fix the tiles in the bathroom and was under the impression that they had been, apologies for this and we will raise it with the trades person and try and get it rectified as soon as possible. The bedding that we provide for the property fits perfectly so we are unsure what has happened here so please accept our apologies and be assured we will look into this. With regards to the stain on the sheet this is not upto our standard and again we can only apologise and raise it with the company we use too carry out our cleaning and change overs. We will also raise your concerns about the cobwebs and bugs and having to hoover when you arrive as this is not how we want our property to be presented to guests. Once again we are very sorry that this was your experience, this is not what we want for our guests and we will do our upmost to look into the issues raised and rectify them as soon as possible. Thank you for staying at Treetops since 2023 and please accept our sincere apologies. Property Owner

“On arrival with 2 dogs we quickly realised that although the property was enclosed it was not secure for a small dog due to the the gap at the hinge side of the gate and the gap between the bars.”

I called the owner who could not come round but he suggested we built a barricade using logs and plant pots which we did. Not ideal but it solved a problem. The property was very clean and well laid out. However, I would dispute the claim that the kitchen contained everything I would need for a dinner party. The baking trays were particularly grimy so bring foil to line them. The biggest problem we had was the front door. It was a struggle to lock it from the inside when you could lean your weight into the door but for me it was impossible to lock from the outside. Only my husband could manage that. Looking at past reviews this has been an ongoing problem so why it is not fixed by now is a disgrace. We could have used the patio doors and walked round but we had already built out dog barrier! Linen was provided (fitted sheets did not fit) as were towels though only one small bath towel per person and one hand towel between us all (we had to go out and buy more!). From the welcome info we were told bin bags were available under the sink - they were not. The smart TV wasn't smart, after we had plugged everything back in we could not get the Roku stick to work, so no film night for us as mentioned in the description. All the beds were very hard and we all agreed that we were not sleeping well. The pillows were very thin too. I also agree with past reviews about the mirrors and the toilet seat is still broken. While we were there I put the major issues in an e-mail to the address provided in the welcome pack, but not had a response. Good points: location, good capacity on fridge and freezer space. We would return to the area but definitely not this property.

Hello. We are pleased you found Treetops very clean and laid out. Thank you for raising your concerns with us. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and we will do our best to rectify them as soon as possible. Property Owner
Claire March 2026

“Lovely House, amazing fire place, owners were responsive and helpful.”

Quite little village close to Alston town. Village shop is a short walk away, only open at certain times, village pub looked like it was closed.Some lovely walks near by, model village is a short walk away.

Paul January 2026

“A gorgeous cottage, provided a relaxed week, we had a week of awful weather, but we're cosy and comfortable.”

We did not manage to walk Hadrian's wall, so we will back.

- Paul, January 2026

We are so pleased you had a relaxing week, despite the weather, and found Treetops cosy and comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

“This cottage was lovely well looked after we had a small leak and owner sorted it out straight away can not fault the location beautiful .”

Lovely to arrive to milk in fridge biscuits and coffee tea chocolate. If I had to change one thing missing was no dryer but this would not stop me booking again. Thank you Tracy

Lucy September 2025

“Tree Tops is a lovely house in a beautiful and peaceful location.”

Great base for exploring the area and it was lovely that we could take our dog for a walk along the river or in the woods right from the house. Convenient parking and the house has all the amenities you could need. Comfortable beds, really powerful shower, lovely bath (great for having a relaxing glass of wine in the evening!) and really nice to have the fire on in the evenings. Easy check in/out. We would definitely stay again! Our only feedback would be that perhaps the bathroom needs a bit of a refresh and there was no information book in the property or emailed to us.

- Lucy, September 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry that you didn't receive the Welcome pack via email, apologies for any inconvenience caused. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Colin June 2025

“On arrival at the cottage we were pleasantly surprised on the size of the cottage However the overall cleanliness wa somewhat disappointing We had to buy Febreze pet odour spray as the soft furnishings were not very clean I also had to give the house a quick hoover and clean dead flies and cobwebs in a few of the rooms The area is beautiful, however we were feeling that the local village was no existent No pubs but on the Sykes advert claimed there were 2 pubs serving good food No community hub cafe even the mines were only open certain days and certain times We were a party of 4 one of whom is coeliac to find out that there was no where around the village that catered for that requirement where as it’s stated that the pubs and cafe serve good gluten free food We also reported a leak from the bathroom which was coming through the living room ceiling; we had to put a bowl and a towel on the unit to protect the furniture We reported this on Tuesday to Sykes and no one got back to us until the following day at 14.”

20 to say someone was attending the property but by that time we had already left to go out for the day A few little tweaks ie cleaning , welcome pack and a list of where to put dirty bedding etc and a must to update the local area information it could be a nice place to stay The owners are clearly very passionate about their home but maybe change who you list your property with

- Colin, June 2025

Thank you for your comments, I am sorry you felt you had issues with the property however we were not informed about a leak or issues about the cleanliness, there is my personal number in the property however we did not receive any calls / emails and if we had, we would have done our utmost to try and rectify these. As for the local village the local pub unfortunately this did close, however Alston, 5 minutes away has a number of welcoming establishments, and our neighbours in the village are more than welcoming, albeit a somewhat quieter pace of life than you may have been expecting. Many thanks. Property Owner
Caroline May 2025

“The house was lovely and clean, very comfortable beds and lovely powerful shower.”

There was no welcome pack or information about the house, rubbish disposal etc, or the surrounding area. House really suited what we wanted, but it was just too far out from everything for us. We did walk around the village and some good tracks for cycling for youngish children, but nothing else, so ended up with a lot of driving. The village does have some interesting spots and a community shop and post office who were really helpful, but is not particularly scenic. The house was really nice but was not in a location I would go back to, more suited to a quiet escape. I booked very last minute so didn’t research enough - no fault of the owners or Sykes.

- Caroline, May 2025

Thank you for your feedback back. We're glad you found Treetops clean and comfortable. We are sorry about welcome information we are in the process of reprinting it, however you should have been sent one via email prior to your arrival (sometimes they go into spam or junk).Thank you again for staying at Treetops and we hope you enjoyed your stay.

Emma May 2025

“We had such a lovely break at treetops, it's a beautiful house, it was really clean and an amazing sociable space for our family to enjoy.”

The kitchen was really well equipped and had everything we needed. The bedrooms were all a great size and comfortable beds. Some lovely walks right from the doorstep, we really enjoyed exploring around the mines. We had an issue with the door lock but it was easy to contact Sykes and the owner got in touch right away which was great. I was in the back bedroom and my only suggestion would be to move the mirror to a more accessible place. The mirror was above the headboard of the bed and no other mirror, so I kept having to stand on the bed to use it. All in all we had a great time and with family living in nenthead I know we'll be booking treetops again soon ...thank you!

- Emma, May 2025

We are so pleased you had a lovely break at Treetops and found it clean and comfortable with everything you needed. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Thank you again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner
Lesley March 2025

“We had a very relaxing time at Treetops, it was very home from home.”

The cottage is beautiful cozy and comfortable. We walked our legs off straight from the front door. Nenthead is perfect for walking, we picked up Jacob’s Tea Trail, there are high stiles to negotiate which wasn’t always ideal to get our labradoodle over but he seems to be crossed with a kangaroo and managed to jump most.

- Lesley, March 2025

Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad you had a relaxing time and found Treetops cosy and comfortable. Thank you for staying at Treetops. Krissi and James. Property Owner
Elaine December 2024

“We have just returned from a fabulous break at Tree Tops.”

From the time we unlocked the door to the tune we left we had the most comfortable stay. The decor is tastefully done and the detail of the furnishings was second to none. I thought we would be cold so took lots of jumpers. When we arrived the underfloor heating was in and was most welcoming. Together with the Christmas tree lit up it was just magical. I didn’t need my jumpers even when the heating wasn’t on! Everything was there for us and we didn’t even go out for 2 days as it was so comfortable and relaxing. A lovely area to stay and we will certainly be returning. Will whoever designed the rooms and decor, and the gorgeous bathroom please contact me . Thank you very much

- Elaine, December 2024

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found Treetops warm, cosy and comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Krissi and James. Property Owner
Stephen October 2024

“We have stayed her before and all was great.”

This trip when we arrived the heating sounded like a jack hammer in the house. It was the heating. After reporting an engineer turned up on Monday. 2 Sleepless nights later. When they looked at the system they stated they could not fix it as the room where the fault was was locked. The system became quieter but did not work properly for the rest of the week. The engineer stated it would partially work until the fault was fixed. So we were cold at night. The back door lock was broken and an locksmith turned up Tuesday to fix. There was a broken handle on the entry gate and the rest fell apart but i managed to put it back together to get us in. 1 Handle was broken off on arrival. Overall we love the place and this trip was disappointing due to the problems.

- Stephen, October 2024

We are sorry you experienced these problems and found your trip disappointing. We want to assure you we did everything we could to resolve the issues as soon as we were made aware of them. We were informed of the problem with the heating and back door on the Sunday evening of your stay and organised the appropriate trades to attend to the problem at the next available opportunity. For the heating this was Monday. On arrival the plumber rang us to explain the situation and to arrange getting a key to the door. He advised us that the guests in the cottage didn't require him to get a key as there wasn't a problem anymore.Therefore he left. We were unaware that the problem hadn't been resolved and that you were cold. We can only apologise for this but had we been made aware of this we could have had the issue fixed. The back door was operational on change over so again we can only apologise for the problem you encountered. We arranged for this to be fixed at the earliest opportunity and the issue was resolved. The gate was left operational. We were aware of a problem with the gate handle from previous guests and had organised for it to be fixed. A temporary fix had been completed ( we are waiting for a part).We are sorry that the temporary fix didn't hold up and for any inconvenience caused. Please accept our apologies and know we did our best to resolve the issues at the earliest opportunity. Property Owner
Lindsay October 2024

“We loved Tree Tops for our 3 nights in October 24, 3 walkers plus dog having a go at most of Isaac’s Tea Trail.”

The cottage is warm and comfortable, especially the adjoining sitting room and large kitchen with the wood burning stove across both ( which we used- so cosy) The weather was atrocious, but with dog in tow we went out in all our waterproofs. We had some slight reprieves especially walking along the river out of Allendale which was beautiful. Highly recommend the trail, if you have good boots, maps and gear ( and better weather). Could we ask for the following which would have helped our stay? *Clothes horse to hang up wet clothes Also The kitchen tap is dripping all the time The door locks ( including French doors to back) are tricky so perhaps more than just advice is now needed? We are strong and yet still struggled The gate handle needs fixed ( important with a dog to help keep safe as you go in and out) Perhaps a hand towel each would be nice as well as an extra towel in kitchen

- Lindsay, October 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you loved your stay. Thank you for your suggestion of a clothes horse - we will look into getting one. Thank you for letting us know about the tap we will get this looked at. We have got somebody booked in to fox the doors and gate. Thank you for staying at Treetops. Property Owner
Elaine October 2024

“Wonderful holiday let extremely clean and cosy .”

Very spacious and well equipped It would seem to be an ongoing issue locking the front door and also the handle on front gate broken so difficult to keep gate secure to prevent our dogs getting straight out to main road . That was the only niggle in a very relaxing holiday Would love to return to this beautiful place

- Elaine, October 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you had a relaxing holiday. We are sorry for the problems with the gate and doors. We have booked somebody to come and fix them. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Duncan September 2024

“Very nice, comfortable, spacious house.”

Underfloor heating made it warm on arrival. The log fire is great. Bathroom shower and bath fantastic. Plenty of kitchen space and facilities for food preparation. Comfortable lounge and good WIFI access, if you need it. Note for owners: half of external side gate handle is missing. Also External door locks were difficult to lock/unlock without human weight braced against door. WD40? Otherwise, many thanks, we enjoyed our stay!

- Duncan, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry you had problems with the doors and gate. We have asked somebody to come and fix them. Thank you again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner

John August 2024

“We booked this cottage looking for a relaxing break and we weren’t disappointed.”

Tree Tops is a wam, clean and comfortable cottage in a friendly village in beautiful countryside. The kitchen had a most impressive double fridge/freezer, the shower in the bathroom was excellent with almost immediate hot water and the range of programmes on the television in the comfortable lounge couldn’t be bettered. However being in my 80’s I found the entrance door very difficult, at times nearly impossible, to close and lock properly because of its very tight fit. Despite that minor problem we had a wonderful stay and we returned home refreshed and relaxed. Thanks for making our holiday so memorable. Hopefully we will be able to return in the future. John,Susan and Lyndsay Stanton.

- John, August 2024

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you had a memorable holiday and found Treetops warm, clean and comfortable. So sorry you struggled with the door, we will have this looked at. Thank you for staying at Treetops and we look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

Sarah July 2024

“Absolutely beautiful cottage with such a calming feel to it and in such a peaceful setting.”

A luxurious stay with everything you could need. The little touches like the milk and biscuits was so thoughtful and helpful. I’ve already recommended the cottage to family and friends and we’ll hopefully be able to book for a longer stay next time as a weekend just wasn’t enough to thoroughly appreciate the place. The local area is beautiful too. We went on a few lovely walks - much needed after a busy working week. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable

“We had a wonderful week at Treetops.”

The cottage was superb. Extremely clean and well laid out. The kitchen had everything we needed. Comfy beds, comfy sofas, heating whenever we needed it. There were lovely walks straight from the front door and the cottage was very dog friendly with a secure garden. The milk, biscuits etc on our arrival were very thoughtful and appreciated. All round Treetops was fabulous- thank you!

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you had a wonderful week. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

“What a lovely stay at Tree tops.”

Amazing property in a lovely quiet location. Very clean , lovely open space. Loved the fire which came in handy during a wet Saturday evening after being soaked competing the mighty hike in the lakes! Would definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future. Thank you!

- Jayne, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Glad the fire came in useful. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner
Karen May 2024

“The property is beautiful and well designed.”

We felt although it wasn’t as clean as it should be. We wanted to clean a couple of things that weren’t right and wasn’t able to use anything antibacterial (my mum has an illness we must guard) and we had to use oven cleaner. We needed a pen while there but couldn’t find one and we were unable to light the fire as there were no matches and an empty firefighter.

- Karen, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you weren’t happy with some elements of your stay however if you had contacted us as the time we would have done our best to accommodate your requests. Pens are available in the drawer in the lounge. A working fire lighter was also provided and limited fuel for the fire. Property Owner
Helen April 2024

“The home was beautifully presented and clean and equipped with all your cooking needs, and the garden was secure for our dog, there was a small shop just up the road for your essential items also a good park over the road if you have children, and great local walks for our dog.”

Just in the next village there were a few shops, cafes and takeaways. This is a great stay for families and we would come back

The place is clean and cozy. The people that live in the area are so friendly and will always smile and say hello to you. My dog loves going on his walks in the area to try and spot the rabbits and loves that there’s sheep so close to him. We will definitely come back here as much as possible.

Shelley September 2023

“We have had a fantastic week at Tree tops.”

The cottage is absolutely stunning and homely, the best we have stayed in. Excellent for the dogs too. Brilliant for watching Red squirrels and location perfect. A great base to explore the beautiful Pennines and the lakes. We loved the village of Nenthead, the locals were all very welcoming, the model village just out the back was a wonderful surprise too. We cannot wait to come back to Tree tops next year, thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.

- Shelley, September 2023

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found Treetops homely. Thank you for booking with us and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

A few little complaints like loose flags in the back yard, tiles in bathroom also coming loose and front door very hard to lock from the inside. But we would love to come back!

- Rachael, September 2023

We're so glad you found Treetops lovely. Thank you for letting us know about the flags, tiles and door. We will get these looked at as soon as possible. So pleased you'd love to come back. Thanks again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner

Jean May 2023

“Lovely area, great village.”

Tree Tops clean and comfortable. One or two little niggles - the toilet seat was broken, outside table was badly burned and the outside area was disappointingly scruffy which let the property down.

- Jean, May 2023

Thank you for leaving a review. We are so pleased you found Treetops clean and comfortable and we hope you had a lovely time. Thank you for letting us know about the toilet seat and outside area, we will get this looked at straight away. Unfortunately the outside table was damaged by previous guests and we are in the process of replacing it. Thanks again for staying at Treetops. Property Owner
Paul December 2022

“Great holiday cottage.”

Loved the extra touches (fizz, chocolates, dog treats, fleece blankets). Very warm & cosy (in face we had to turn heating down both upstairs & downstairs as too hot!). We’ll definitely be back.

Amanda November 2022

“This was our second stay at Tree Tops and it was just as wonderful as the first time we stayed.”

The property is beautiful, very well thought out and well maintained. It truly is a home from home. The bedrooms are generous in size and beautifully decorated, the beds are super comfy and you're guaranteed a great night's sleep. The downstairs is also generous in size and the kitchen dinning area is the perfect entertaining space. The kitchen is well equipped and having the luxury of a double fridge / freezer is fantastic. The location is peaceful but it also has local amenities within walking distance, and Alston is only a short drive away. There are plenty of places to visit as well and all within easy reach of the property - which makes it a great base for exploring.

- Amanda, November 2022

Thank you for your lovely review and coming to stay with us a second time. We are so pleased you enjoyed it as much second time round and had a lovely time. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner
Charlene October 2022

“Absolutely stunning property, did not disappoint.”

We will definitely be returning. The property has been renovated to an outstanding level and in keeping with the age of the cottage. Loved the open plan feel of the downstairs area and the kitchen is really well equipped. The bedrooms are all an excellent size and the bathroom is beautiful. Outside the garden is a decent size but would benefit from an additional gate to stop children or dogs getting to the gate at the front of the property. One last things, the boiler makes a rather large banging noise when the radiators upstairs come on. Overall 10/10 property and outstanding area.

- Charlene, October 2022

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you liked Treetops and had a lovely time. Thank you for letting us know about the boiler, we will get this looked at straight away. Thanks again for staying at Treetops and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

Valerie June 2022

“Our third month in temporary accommodation and we couldn't have chosen better, this time in Nenthead Big, spacious, light and airy, Tree Tops certainly ticked all the boxes.”

Great kitchen, well appointed, a pleasure to cook in and a lovely social space for meals and drinks. Comfortable beds, grand bath and shower, lots of hanging space and wooden hangers too ! Lounge in the lounge? we certainly did and the TV with all the channel and streaming options provided endless entertainment. With such amazing scenery on the doorstep and a vibrant and welcoming local community, Nenthead really suited us and we take very fond memories as well as a raft of stunning photos with us as we leave

Lorraine May 2022

“Beautiful cottage.”

Very comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The photographs do not do it justice as we much more spacious than we thought Just feel the front gate needs attention in the way of a lock. We did close properly on exit, but found a couple times it was open on our return and the handle fell off a couple times. All in all though, one of the nicest we have stayed in

- Lorraine, May 2022

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you liked Treetops and had a lovely time. Thank you for letting us know about the gate, we will get this looked at straight away. Thanks again for staying at Treetops and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

It truly is like home from home. The cottage is lovely and comfortable, very warm and plenty of space. There are plenty of walks very close by which is great when taking pets. Would highly recommend Treetops.

“Treetops is the most delightful place to stay, it is truly a home from home.”

It has generous sized bedrooms, with quality furnishings and the very comfortable beds. The bathroom has the most wonderful shower and bath, and again is fitted to a very good standard. The downstairs of the property is also of generous proportions and is very well thought out. The kitchen / dining space is huge and allows for everyone to be together whilst cooking and eating. Both the living room and dining room benefit from the log fire and it makes the place feel even more homely. There are lovely little touches such as a pint of fresh milk in the fridge along with some tea, coffee, biscuits, chocolates and even a few dog treats on arrival - which are very much appreciated. The outside space is also of a good size and is secure which is very useful when taking a dog. There's ample on street parking for two cars (possibly more) directly outside the property and access to the property is simple and straightforward. We had the best time here, it was lovely and peaceful but also only a short walk to the local shop and amenities. We genuinely can not find fault with anything. We had great communication with the owners, who were friendly and polite. Its safe to say we will be returning next year and we can't wait to do so!!

“Treetops cottage was absolutely beautiful.”

We have been staying in cottages all over Britain for many years now and I can say this was one of the best. Beautifully, tastefully furnished, amazing attention to detail, and the most amazing log burner !!! as well as underfloor heating!! Loved the open plan layout downstairs. Fantastic shower in the gorgeous bathroom. Delightful bedrooms with beautiful beds and quality linens. Krissie has thought of everything and much more!.Just fabulous all round

The property

Alston 4.5 miles.

Tucked away in Nenthead, Cumbria, near to the bustling town of Alston, is this contemporary end-terrace cottage, Tree Tops.

Sleeping up to six guests in a spacious property, Tree Tops is ideal for a family or group looking for a getaway in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the North Pennines.

Upon entering the cottage, you are immediately greeted by a bright and airy kitchen/diner, containing everything you need to host a dinner party for friends or family, including a lovely corner couch with a rustic wooden table, double electric oven and Smart TV for entertainment; start the woodburning stove and ease your feet on the underfloor heating after a long day of exploring.

With dinner done and dishes in the dishwasher, retire to the peaceful sitting room just next door for a film night.

Heading upstairs, Tree Tops has three double rooms with storage space for hiking gear or your best going out clothes, as well as a bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower and free-standing bath for a refreshing end to the day.

Back on the ground floor, the French doors in the sitting room lead to a quaint patio with Tree Top’s spectacular stone wall as a backdrop, whilst you enjoy your morning coffee on the picnic bench.

The cottage is just around the corner from a shop, where you can stock up on the essentials, whilst wandering around the quiet Nenthead, which also has the fascinating Nenthead Mines for guided trips underground, the village also hosts The Hive - a converted Weslian Chapel that now is a wonderful licensed cafe, art gallery and craft shop, serving amazing food, cakes and drinks.

For a more bustling village, Alston is a short journey away, with pubs, restaurants and cafes to enjoy, historic cobbled streets to explore and local specialities to try.

A little further south west lies Melmerby, a small village at the foot of the Pennine scar that boasts picturesque views, winding streams and sits at the edge of Eden Valley for spectacular walks.

Just beyond Melmerby, you will find Penrith, a busy town known for its impressive 14th century castle, Roman Museum houses to discover local history and plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing and canoeing, as well as cinemas, leisure and cultural centres.

Resting on the edge of The Lake District, you'll find ample opportunities for walking and watersports.

Perfect for exploring a wonderful area of Cumbria, Tree Tops offers a memorable trip with your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

NENTHEAD

Alston 4.6 miles; Stanhope 15.4 miles; Penrith 24.4 miles.

Nenthead is one of the highest villages in England and has a rich mining history. Many mines still remain which are open to the public and waiting to be discovered. The village was also the first to have electric street lighting due to the excess power created by the mining industry. This is a fantastic base for those looking to explore the area as the village has a pub, restaurant, shop/Post Office, children’s play area and a church set in an elevated position. There are a number of attractions available in the nearby area including taking a ride on one of the lovingly-restored steam and diesel engines through the beautiful scenery of the South Tyne valley on the South Tynedale Railway. The River Tyne is also noted as one of the finest salmon rivers in England and day-ticket fishing is available locally. With the entire North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your doorstep you will need to return again and again to the area to explore everything there is on offer.
