Thornfield Reviews

We absolutely loved our stay in Thornfield. The property itself is wonderfully furnished with beautiful antique furniture throughout,without ever feeling dated. All rooms are spacious and practical and have everything you'll need for your familypets aren't overlooked either, with a selection of treats and even a dog bed left out along with our welcome gifts on arrival. The setting itself is within peaceful surroundings and sitting outside offers peaceful relaxation adjacent the cattle fields and amongst the local wildlife there's even a resident pair of peafowl that like to stalk around the spacious grounds. Hannah and Rob are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble they even have a selection of locally sourced meats for purchase from their farm home just down the road. And if there's any budding musicians amongst you there's a beautiful piano and a classical guitar in the living room for them to enjoy. All in all I would say that Thornfield is the perfect place to stay to 'get away from it all.'

Another wonderful stay at Thornfield cottage. Even when the weather was far too hot to go out and about with my dogs, staying at Thornfield made the holiday still enjoyable. This place is definitely our home from home & as soon as we drive through those gates, we know our holiday will be the perfect blend of relaxation and fun days out.

Jennifer

A lovely cottage in gorgeous surroundings, with everything you could need for a quiet and cosy few days!

Victoria

The cottage exceeded all expectations. Its incredibly spacious, much more so than the photos suggest. It was absolutely immaculate, with everything you could possibly need and more. The hosts were outstanding, responding quickly and going above and beyond with helpful advice and support throughout our stay. The setting is simply beautiful, with stunning scenery and lovely farm animals adding to the charm the peacocks were a real highlight. A truly wonderful stay, and we wouldnt hesitate to return or recommend it to others.

Gillian

An absolutely beautiful cottage much bigger than I expected, really homely, clean, warm, comfortable. Thank you to Rob for getting the hot tub heated up for our arrival that's a great service to provide we really appreciated it. Thank you Hannah for recommending the Cross Keys for my birthday meal just lovely. Loved watching the farm animals and wildlife going about their daily lives. Absolutely idyllic. We'll be back.

We could not fault the cottage The only thing let it down was the hot tub it took forever to heat up and having to buy the logs you were easy using a 2 bags to get it warm i think they should supply the logs in with the price at 5 a bag it works out quite expensive

Amanda

Loved this property, it is to a high standard with all the comforts of home, the surroundings are stunning and the owners are nearby if you need anything. We had a great time and will hopefully rebook sometime.

Absolutely stunning property,we loved every minute of this holiday,wish we had booked for longer! !!

Would highly recommend this lovely cottage in this beautiful area. From the welcome pack to sorting out any little issues the owners are welcoming and very helpful. The grounds are secure for dogs to explore and enjoy. The hot tub is an added bonus!

Albert

The 2nd time we have stopped at Thornfield this year so we love it. Hannah our host was very helpful and welcoming. We would recommend you ask if there is any lamb at the farm it was 1st class. The cottage is set in beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. Everything we needed was inside and spotless. Will definitely be going back

Amelia

Absolutely beautiful we will definitely be booking again cant weot for our next hokiday with you guys

Deborah

This is our second stay at Thornfield & we enjoyed it so much, that weve already booked again for next year. The place is a definite home from home & not lacking in any of our creature comforts. Hannah & Rob are on hand if help is needed, whilst far enough away to give us our privacy. Theres plenty around the holiday home to spend a relaxing time & not have to venture out on those days when it was too hot to go out with my dogs, Vega & Riley. They just loved to play outside whilst I sat & watched the Curlews in a mornings. The place is so quiet & relaxing on an evening & having a hot tub, adds any extra layer for relaxations. When venturing out, theres plenty of places to visit, from wonderful walks to waterfalls, days out to many of the castles, stately homes & parks, to shopping days out in many of the towns & cities within easy reach. Travelling a little further out, is a number of wonderful coastal places to visit, making this holiday home the perfect base. Thanks Hannah & Rob for making our stay so enjoyable.

We had a great holiday at your lovely cottage. Thank you!

Lovely cosy home with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The huge enclosed garden was perfect for our dog to explore. Loved listening to the birds while relaxing in the hot tub. Plenty of woodland walks within 1015 minutes drive. We didn't need the owners, Hannah and Rob, for anything while we were there, but were confident they were on hand at anytime if we did.

We had a lovely weeks holiday at Thornfield, such a great, well equipped property. Nice and remote, but handy for trips out to places. We all enjoyed a relaxing time in the hot tub most evenings, only hearing the animals and birds nearby. We all slept well in the comfy beds, a nice powerful shower in the mornings and relaxing in the comfy lounge. Grounds were secure for our dog to explore and for her and the children to play safely in. Have recommended to family and friends, will hopefully be back again soon.

Christina

We loved our stay at this property. Spacious clean and comfortble with a big garden which our dogs loved. We did worry about the sheep and birds in the adjacent fields but our dogs didnt even notice them. The location is great with many dog friendly pubs and walks within easy travel distance. Owners are just a phone call away if needed, they are very friendly and responsive.

The cottage was lovely in beautiful surroundings The owners were responsive to an issue we had and super friendly. It was a excellent stay in a well equipped comfortable space

The whole cottage from start to finish was just perfect for our family and additional family. It was icing on the cake that our dogs could come too. Rob and Hannah were perfect host and was at hand when needed. 1010 would highly recommend booking.

Albert

The description of the cottage didnt really do it justice. It was well laid out and with everything we required and needed with the extra bonus of the grounds and views. A really relaxing place to unwind. Hannah our host was really helpful with her recommendations for the best places to eat and shop. Will definitely book again

Sharon

Thornfield is a great property within amazing views and animals nearby. The hot tub was really great for relaxing under the stars. We wanted somewhere to relax for a few days and this was just what we needed . well equipped and perfect for a break away from it all.

Amanda

Had a lovely stay here, the property is set apart on its own private plot and it is quiet, surrounded by countryside. Lovely facilities in a great location, clean, comfortable property and helpful and friendly communication with owners. Loved our stay, would highly recommend and would be excited stay here again if we are back in the area.

Clean cottage, with lovely views especially if you like animals which we do. Very quiet and peaceful location. Enjoyed hot tub on first evening which was ready for us when we arrived. We had trouble doing it ourselves another night, so make sure you ask how to get it started owners are very happy to help. Log burner was lovely addition too on a cold evening.

We spent a lovely few days in this comfortable cottage. It was perfect for all our needs and the dogs loved being able to sniff and explore the large outdoor area. I loved opening the curtains to the view of the goats having breakfast. I would say if you are going to use the hot tub to ask for it to be preheated as it takes hours to heat up in the cold weather March and we eventually lost interest. The owners would have been more than happy to help us though! Lovely stay and will return I am sure!

We had a medical incident before arrival and so everything was up in the air as to when or if we would arrive. Communication with the hosts was prompt and helpful throughout, and the cottage ready for us when we finally arrived. Found everything as we would hope, and are looking to go back again at some point, when hopefully we'll actually manage to see a bit of the area!

Absolutely amazing property, loved the mix of old and modern, everything provided you could possible need. Lovely walks, woods and waterfall near by. Loved the hot tub and goats in the field next door. Highly recommend to any age. Billy the bulldog had an amazing stay as did we. Hope to be back soon.

Brilliant cottage, large secure area around property and beautifully presented, ... Brilliant cottage, large secure area around property and beautifully presented, logs available for hot tubfire at a very reasonable price And considering it was half term we were happy with what we paid

Jacqueline

Pros and Cons A lovely place in a beautiful setting and many good features inside the cottage such as comfortable beds, a nice kitchen and lovely shower. However, the hot tub was very small and we didn't use it in the end. We were only left three very small towels I think most people expect proper bath towels or bath sheets. The fridge was small there were only two of us and it was a struggle not sure what families or parties of six would do. There was stinginess with some items a tiny amount of washing up liquid and only two dishwasher tablets we are then told to make sure all the dishes are clean when we leave. There was only enough wood shavings to light the log burner three times. I would rather have these items stocked up on rather than a 'welcome basket' which we didn't want and left. The owner also made an appointment with a worker to come and look at the boiler while we were staying, which was very inconvenient as well as sending me a text on our home asking if we had taken one of their blankets The blanket was found in another room.

Had a fantastic time staying in Thornfield Cottage for 5 nights in October with family and 2 dogs. There was a lovely welcoming basket on arrival and logs for the log burner. The cottage was immaculate with provision of all amenities you need for your stay. We also used the Hot Tub which was great. Each day we were greeted by the Peacocks in the garden and the goats. There are plenty of dog walks nearby as well as Durham, Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland all within a short travelling distance and with many places being dog friendly. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Stewart

Very nice place to stay and we'll positioned for a base to travel to lots of attractions, landmarks etc. A well positioned bungalow for peace and quiet, surrounded by scenery and wildlife.

Stephen

What a fabulous Cottage, we felt like we were in a home from home. Immaculately clean and the Kitchen very well stocked equipment wise. We loved the daily visits from the family of Peacocks and saying good morning to all the Goats... Unfortunately we didn't get to fire up the Hot Tub this time but we will be back so look forward to a glass of wine then while sitting in the tub and watching the sun go down. Thank you again for making our stay such a comfortable one and look forward to seeing you again soon.. Debs & Steve from Reading xx

Cottage was ideal for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. Lots to see and do in the surrounding area. Communication from Hannah very good. Very nice welcome basket on arrival. A wood fired hot tub for those who wanted it and for budding musicians a guitar and piano in the lounge.

Deborah

Fantastic holiday home for both humans & dogs alike. Would highly recommend this place. Rob & Hannah are close by if help is needed, but far enough away to give you complete privacy. Absolutely loved having the other animals close by & fell in love with Bilbo the bagot goat. Already booked to return next year & cant wait to be back. Thanks

Crystal

A fantastic cottage, it was clean, comfortable and the hosts were extremely accommodating. We also brought some of their beef which was lovely. Brilliant location and we all had a great time, adults and teenagers. We will definitely be back.

Lesley

Lovely cottage, we would go back again. Very peaceful and secluded. Nice get away for a relaxing holiday.

Cathrine

All we needed for a wonderful stay in this lovely location . . Would definitely recommend Thankyou again ....

Howard

We had a brilliant family holiday in Thornfield. Secluded yet accessible location, with plenty of tourist attractions close by. The premises was of a high standard and hosts very friendly. The hot tub was a wonderful way to relax and spend time together.
