Stayed 24th to 27th July. Nice Cottage, friendly owner who lived on site. Basic amenities, bathroom could have been cleaner but lovely bedroom and comfortable bed. Very close to Beamish museum and the owner has a free pass to get in which we used. Also Tanfield railway was nice. The local pubs were good and great mixed grill in local sizzler pub. Good for walkers.

We stayed at Gracies cottage for three nights. We were in the area to visit Beamish and the Tanfield Railway so it was perfect. We ate out in the evening at the pub just outside Beamish museum which was excellent. The cottage was good for two people and the bed comfortable. We were able to park next to the cottage and although there were two other small cottages next to us there was enough room for all. WIFI and tv were good and we knew about there being no oven so planned for that. Lovely walks just through the back gate into the forest and if there on a Sunday you can see the steam trains.The owner lives on site and was very welcoming. A great weekend.
