) Would have liked some gifts that other guests had been left :( The hot tub is in a cave making it very cosy and private but a little difficult to get in. The cottage is only small but we knew this before booking and isnât the smallest place weâve stayed. The village of Stanhope is small and isolated but there a plenty of shops, pubs and cafes to explore. We had no problems checking in and parking was easy. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely recommend!

Just a very short walk to the village centre, where you can find pubs, shops & a lovely fish & chip shop. Beautiful walks also nearby.
