Testimonials

Just beautiful! Everything about this cottage was just perfect! After a 6 hour journey to get there we were not disappointed - the cottage is beautiful, photos do not do it justice, and to find a pint of milk in the fridge with tea cups and Scottish shortbread laid out ready for us made us feel really welcome!

Excellent Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Beautifully converted Sheep Pen Cottage. Every detail perfect. Welcome very friendly. Will Recommend And Will Return!!!

Sheep Pen is EXCELLENT in every way. Thanks again for a lovely stay. Renovated so well and just our taste!! Good luck with future projects. We will return some day. Your welcome and hospitality were second to none.

The cottage was lovely and in a beautiful location. It was extremely well equipped, every possible need had been catered for. We have stayed in many different self catering accomodations and this was by far the best.

What a find! We will definitely return. A tastefully furnished, yet homely environment in which to relax. Great views. Bliss!

The selfish part of us would love to keep this wonderful cottage secret but we cant be so mean. A lovely find on the internet which we will be passing on to all our friends and acquaintances. We shall return!!

What a beautiful place to stay! The house was fabulously well-equipped, clean luxurious and in gorgeous countryside surroundings. Thanks and we'll be visiting again.

Beautiful cottage - very comfy beds, great showers, well equipped kitchen, fantastic location. Hope to be able to return. Liked the flat rim to the bath - just perfect to rest a glass on !!

Sheep Pen Cottage is in a beautiful country setting but only 10 mins easy drive from Durham and 25 mins from Beamish so perfect situation for us. The cottage was scrupulousy clean - it is beautifully decorated but still has a lovely relaxed feel and is very comfortable.
