The living room is full of mementos and authentic furniture, which has been collected from all parts of the country to create the right atmosphere.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms that comfortably sleep four, the main bedroom has a luxury dressing table with angular mirrors that will make sure you are looking like a style icon before you head on out for the evening, do you still rock those drainpipe jeans or that polka dot mini dress?

Peartree cottage was a great find for a short visit to the north east with plenty to see within a 40 minute drive. The cottage is well presented and spotlessly clean, and finished to a high standard to an era from a time when life was so different from today's. Our hosts Gillian and Stephen are and where very frendly and helpful gear couple,I would recommend peartree cottage you will enjoy your stay.Rob & Cath
