Belle View cottage offers a relaxing ‘away from it all’ holiday destination set above Bollihope Burn in Weardale with stunning views over the moors and the North Pennines National Landscape. The cottage is perfect for couples and small families, with lovely walks from the door especially for those with canine family members.
On the ground floor there is a well equipped kitchen including an electric hob and oven, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The open plan lounge/dining room offers lovely views across the dales. On the first floor there is a king size bedroom and a separate single bedroom, plus the family bathroom with shower over the bath.
There is private parking for two cars and garage space to store guests’ bikes. The cottage has a small private garden but guests are also welcome to use the owner’s larger garden with shady nooks and sunny corners to enjoy. Walkers, cyclists and nature lovers will find the area an ideal destination, along with many remnants of industrial archaeology such as lead mining and quarrying. Please note the final section of the track is not tarmacked and is unsuitable for cars very low to the ground.
