Romantic rural retreat for 8 w/log burner (Pets welcome!)

Camellia Cottage is a romantic 400 year old cottage with quirky decor, fabulous rural setting and beautiful walks from the doorstep.

Sleeps 8 in 4 well appointed bedrooms, in 1 superking bed, 2 Kings and 1 double sleigh bed.
There is even a romantic four poster bed for guests looking for something extra special.
We have a cosy log burner in the living room which is perfect for colder nights, games for the children and Smart TV for those accustomed to Netflix and Prime etc.

Fabulous views across the beautiful North Pennines countryside. Have breakfast on the patio with the refrains of the sheep, pheasants and resident owl. Spot a red squirrel or the many rabbits that frolic in the fields around us whilst you relax in our comfortable living room.

Next to Cranmore House (so can accept large parties of 12 adults together, see separate listing.

All 4 bedrooms and our bathroom have fabulous country views.

Unwind in a peaceful, rural village high up in the magnificent North Pennines AONB, Cumbria. Often referred to as England's last wilderness, our area is a marvellous land of biodiversity. It was Europe's first UNESCO Geopark. Use Camellia Cottage as your base for exploring the many sights that nature has to offer around us. A short drive from the Lake District, perched high up on the border between Cumbria and Northumberland, and within easy access of the beautiful Weardale Valley and Yorkshire.

Dog friendly but we can only accept a maximum of 2 dogs due to carpet downstairs. We are incredibly lucky to have a massive 6 acre free dog paddock on our doorstep, about 1 minute walk from the door. Fully enclosed and perfect for reactive dogs. We also have a second dog paddock about 3 minutes walk across the river. Walks from the doorstep abound.

The cottage comes with all mod cons including a fridge freezer, washing machine,fully equipped kitchen with Tassimo Coffee machine, Smart TV with Netflix/Prime, modern electric hob and oven. We have a living room, dining room and open plan kitchen. At the back we have a patio area with BBQ facilities and outdoor dining for spring/summer months. In the front is a fully enclosed and fenced garden suitable for dogs.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.
