    “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.

    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.

    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

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.
