Lapwing Cottage is in a lovely location looking out over fields. - Latest review of Lapwing Cottage "Lapwing Cottage is in a lovely location looking out over fields. The cottage was very well equipped to make a decent meal. Very comfy furniture and the bed was huge. Nice to have a choice of a bath or shower and great heavy curtains mean you don't get woken early unless of course you want to. Gorgeous homemade cake greeted me on arrival and my hosts gave me a further one couple days later. They were always on hand if you needed anything and gave plenty inspiration on places to visit etc. Amenity wise small shop in village, bigger super markets 10 minutes away and a takeaway/restaurant which you would need to drive to, Beamish Museum, Tanfield Railway and The Angel of the North within easy reach. Good location for visiting Durham/Newcastle and easy reach of coast. Hope to go back next year." We look forward to welcoming them back and welcoming new guests The calendar is open for for 2024 as well as last minute availability - see you soon https://www.ridingfarmcottages.co.uk/our-cottages/lapwing-cottage/
