The Croft

Stanhope is often referred to as ’The Gateway to the Dales’. The North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the perfect setting for a rural retreat or for guests who enjoy walking orcycling, as well as those wanting to just enjoy a leisurely stroll through some of the most splendid countryside that the county has to offer. For cyclists it is handy for Cycling and mountain biking trails at Hamsterley Forest and close to the C2C route.
Fully renovated in 2022, this beautiful cottage is light and bright with attractive furnishings and has a truly welcoming feel. The spacious living room has a Smart TV, and an inglenook fireplace with electric wood burner. Adjoining this is the well-equipped kitchen, with all the electrical appliances you will need for your stay. A warm and social space with shaker-style kitchen, dresser, and dining table, perfect for a hearty brunch or warming supper. Outside is a small courtyard area with bistro table and chairs, a lovely spot for a morning coffee or glass of wine as the sun goes down. Three beautifully-appointed bedrooms to catch your sleep, each offering ample storage space to unpack your belongings. Enjoy beautiful views across the rolling Dales to the Pennines from the front bedrooms.
Along the High Street you will find pubs, tea shops and cafés, local butchers, bakers, and takeaway food options, as well as interesting gift shops. At the nearby Durham Dales Centre, you will find a great selection of walking maps and information, as well as a variety of craft shops and a small café. Pub and restaurant/tapas bar around the corner. There are many established walks, cycle paths and routes running directly from the town and out towards some of the traditional villages including Eastgate, Cowshill, Rookhope, Killhope, Frosterley and Wolsingham.
Ideal for children is the Weardale Railway that stops in Stanhope and covers an 18-mile heritage line that runs through parts of County Durham and has different events all year round. In the warmer weather, enjoy the river or Weardale Open Air Swimming Pool, which is the only heated open-air pool in the county.
Local attractions include: Kynren – An Epic Tale of England, the UK’s ’must-see’ spectacular live action show that takes place every summer. Hamsterley Forest, Raby Castle, or a little further visit Barnard Castle with its lovely riverside walks, High Force and Low Force Waterfalls, independent shops, galleries, eateries, and the famous Bowes Museum. Within an easy 40-minute drive, guests will be able to visit the city of Durham with its historic cathedral, castle and university. Beamish Living Museum, Gateshead Metrocentre, Newcastle upon Tyne, Hexham, Corbridge and Hadrian’s Wall can all be reached in an hour’s drive and offer a great day out for guests of all ages. Pub and restaurant ¼ miles
