Absolutely nothing!

Everything! Beautiful cottage in a beautiful village! Everything you can possibly need and more.

Nothing to note.

We don’t usually do the “everything was wonderful, 10/10” reviews that seem so common now. But this property really stood out for the obvious care and attention that has gone into building it and fitting it out. Certainly, it feels like you are using someone else’s cherished home, which you may well be? I am only going on a bit because when you experience a number of properties you notice this difference straight away. I went on the record as saying the building was generally more comfortable and useable than the one that came with an expensive villa we rented in Italy for a week this trip (putting aside the large grounds/pool at the villa). It has everything you need and you could live here for a month if you needed to - it would take me a month to read all the interesting books on the shelf. A proper kitchen and well-controlled heating etc. Getting that said, for context, this property will suit you if you are happy to be a 10 minute walk from the centre of a (proper) town, in this case Allendale, which means you have walking access to good services, a few interesting shops, a good Co-Op supermarket and a decent English town vibe. This means though, the property is adjacent to one of the main roads into town, which means it won’t be rural quiet all the time if you are in the front yard, but there is no traffic noise to be heard from inside with the windows closed (good windows, thick walls). Do note also that this property is not about views except perhaps from the upstairs windows

Dene Croft is an absolutely lovely place to stay. It is comfortable, well furnished and with everything needed for a great holiday. Fabulous attention to detail. We only stayed three nights but are hoping to be back for a longer stay as we enjoyed it so much. Allendale is a beautiful village in a good location for stunning walks locally and for visiting Hadrian’s Wall and all its forts.

A beautiful, cosy cottage in Allendale. It was the perfect place to relax and the host provided everything needed for a very comfortable stay. All information needed was given prior to arrival. Thank you for a lovely few days.

Wish I was there longer, home from home with everything you need. A brilliant place to stay.

Can’t think of a thing. Wished we had longer to enjoy it.

Really comfortable & fully equipped stone cottage. Has obviously been loved and beautifully restored. Great base to explore surrounds and sections of Hadrian’s Wall.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Absolutely beautiful property, spotlessly clean and fully equipped. It is in a lovely peaceful location with beautiful views just minutes away. Great if you like to walk or just relax.. we loved it. Also the host went out of his way to help when we accidentally locked ourselves out which we greatly appreciated.

The cottage was absolutely stunning, sparkling clean and extremely comfortable. It is tastefully decorated and you find absolutely everything you need for a relaxing stay and even more. I had the best stay.

Nothing. Loved it.

There wasn't anything not to like. The owner was great to communicate with and the place was spotless. The decor was beautiful and so comfortable. The owner's lamp game was fabulous as I love good lighting! Every room was just beautiful. The bed was ridiculously comfy. Allendale Town is a few minutes down the road and is within walking distance. Another reviewer commented you could walk the other way into town. This takes you down deep steps into the gorge so if you have any mobility issues avoid. No issues with parking. We had a small car but even if you have a large one there's plenty of room to park across both spaces. If you get a bit of sun the garden gets sun all day which is great. The garden faces a main road - but it is very well sheltered by a thick hedge (and fence) and is completely self contained for little ones. The property has everything you could possibly need including throws and a footstool. It's the little things and the attention to detail here is fabulous. Thank you for having us.

Nothing….. (other than having to go home at the end of the stay)

The cottage is absolutely stunning, magnificent setting, lovely outdoor sitting area, interior is cozy and relaxing. The beds were sooo comfy. Absolutely loved the place, and the WiFi is full fibre to premises and rocket fast. We loved the kitchen and the coffee machine was a real treat. Just a couple of mins from the center of Allendale the cottage was a perfect location for our trip. The owners were so thoughtful, making sure there were coffee pods, a few biscuits and even a little bottle of milk to get us going. Allendale is a lovely place.

Only that we couldn't stay longer.

What a lovely week we've had. The comfiest bed I've slept in for ages, I slept better than I did at home. Great location just 5 minutes walk into Allendale Town. Everything you could possibly want in the cottage. Some people thought parking was tight, I have a large SUV and it easily fitted into the lower space. Great communication from Jeremy, the owner. Quick tip: cross the road and go right for about 100m, and you will see the entrance to the woods.
