The Byre at High Watch, Wearhead

This is a lovely accommodation that is well maintained.

This is a beautiful property to stay in with outstanding views over the Pennines. The property was very comfortable throughout with every detail thought of by the owners; I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat, in an idyllic part of Great Britain, with some lovely walks literally on the doorstep.

The nicest cottage we have ever stayed in and the owners were wonderful.

Liked the very pleasant interior with comfortable furniture and quality fittings. All the appliances worked well and the instructions were in good order and clearly available if required. There were lovely views and it was a peaceful setting. Without doubt this was the best cottage we have stayed in, with caring thoughtful owners who were only too ready to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We hope to return.

The cottage was perfect! Furniture was comfortable and the cottage was warm with an efficient heating system. All in all this was a fantastic experience, the owners are to be congratulated on achieving the perfect 'home from home'. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

The cottage was very nice, welcoming and very homely. The surrounding area was beautiful and very relaxing and was just what we wanted.

This cottage is delightful, cosy, warm and private. We found this property excelled the description on your website. We would also commend the owners who were kind and thoughtful. This must be one of the best properties we have ever had.

A beautiful cottage with great hosts, everything was thought of. The location was fabulous.

This property is just about perfect. The owners were very friendly and helpful with an added option of a pottery session. The wood burning stove with fuel was a great bonus.

A very warm and friendly welcome, a delightful, comfortable property in a beautiful, peaceful location within easy reach of places of interest, walks etc. We shall be happy to return.

Location ideal both for local walks and for exploring other dales and fells in the area. Area is very quiet and relaxing, but within easy reach of many interesting places - Durham, Bowes Museum, Hadrian's Wall, etc. Cottage exceptionally well-equipped and comfortable. Hosts friendly and helpful but respectful of privacy.

We loved spending time at the cottage, it was so peaceful and relaxing. It helped that the cottage was beautiful.

From my first phone contact with the owners we felt really welcomed, and the cottage was just what we hoped. It's well appointed and has a really homelike feel, with books on the shelves, a wood burning stove, and pictures on the walls. There's also a lower bit of garden below the house that you can use in relative privacy. The cottage has a view over upper Weardale, with walks from the door and wonderful bird life and wild flowers all around. We used it as a base for exploring and would return to cosy evening meals and relaxation in the large, comfortable lounge. It's within easy driving distance of Hexham and Corbridge and beyond that the superb Roman sites, Hadrian's Wall and, of course, the North Pennines. All in all I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a base for a holiday in the NE, though obviously its position makes a car fairly essential. The owners take real trouble to make sure their guests are comfortable and well provided for.

Excellent location, the cottage was above and beyond our expectations. A lovely friendly reception from the owners.

A very well situated cottage with stunning views and access to quaint little villages and lots of nice walks. We arrived to a very warm and friendly welcome. The accommodation has everything you need to have a comfortable cosy stay. It was very well equipped with a beautiful wood burner and many leaflets with info on the area and surrounding parts. Every detail has been thought of from board games to books. We had a fantastic week in the middle of February it was slightly blustery, which made our stay very warm and cosy indoors enjoying the peace and tranquility which surrounded us. We will most defiantly be back we just embraced the rural living with open arms. :)

Perfect little getaway. Beautiful surroundings and a very warm welcome. Everything you need is provided in the cottage.

Lovely clean and welcoming cottage, helpful hosts who greeted us on arrival. Everything in the cottage you needed to feel home from home, lots of information on things to do in the area. Wonderful area to visit, beautiful scenery and the views from the cottage were amazing. Killhope well worth a visit as was Beamish Museum, a little further afield but worth the drive over the moors.

Lovely, roomy and airy accommodation and quiet location with wonderful views Only one negative point; the bed and pillows were far, far too soft and therefore not comfortable

Character accommodation with plenty of room in a central location with beautiful views.

The owners were very accommodating and ensured that the stay was above expectations, thank you for a lovely week.

This is an exceptional cottage, and it is clear that the owners maintain it to the highest possible standard. It is incredibly good value for money, and we would return.

Quiet location, good accommodation, friendly and helpful hosts.

Friendly, helpful and welcoming owners in a part of the Dales I had never visited and was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful it was. Excellent views from the property, peaceful, and was big enough and equipped to a degree that allowed my family to visit for a meal without having to ask them to bring their own cups, and cutlery. I would visit again.

We were warmly greeted by the owners. The cottage was lovely, very well presented, with a superb log burner. Great location, very peaceful with wonderful views. Very good walking area and lots of places of interest nearby. The weather was amazing too, which was a bonus.

Very relaxing and the owners were very welcoming and helpful. Plenty of wood for the log burner and considering the weather conditions, this was a boon.

Very welcoming hosts. The food hamper was great! Comfy and exceptionally clean. Very well equipped, the hosts added little touches like tin foil, food bags, a stock cube and salt and pepper- always the things I forget! Mostly suitable for a little toddler. Travel cot and high chair and a child friendly fire guard provided. We would stay again, it was one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.
