Home away from home, 3 bed cottage with hot tub and pool table
Homely 3-bed cottage with hot tub in the hamlet of Walworth Gate, set in the idyllic countryside of County Durham. Ivy Cottage is, in our opinion, surrounded by some of the most beautiful and fascinating landscapes in the country. Whether it be taking long walks in Hamsterley forest, a visit to the thunderous High Force or taking part in the many activity centres in the nearby towns, there is something for everybody to enjoy.
On entering Ivy Cottage, you are welcomed by a spacious hall adjoined by a wc on the left and kitchen to the right. Within its newly fitted kitchen you will find utensils and fixtures to make your stay comfortable. Leading on into a lounge dining room where you can put your feet up in front of the fire (one bag of fuel provided, any additional chargeable) as well as enjoying a sit down meal at the dining table.
The ground floor also boasts a games room with full size pool table, 58 inch tv and bar (unstocked sorry!) to add that element of fun to your stay!
Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to a master bedroom with king size bed, ensuite with large shower and walk in wardrobe. Further on you will find a smaller second bedroom with a double bed. Next to this is the third bedroom with a kingsize bed and also the main bathroom with large shower and bath (towels provided).
To the rear of the cottage is a large garden with garden seating, BBQ area (BBQ not provided) and, 6 person hot tub.
To the front there is space for 3 cars on a single drive.
Cot bed and high chair available on request. However, no stair gates.
If you want to explore then Ivy Cottage is a gateway to an array of activities and sights. The local area offers something for everyone.

From the first moment of getting there to the sad moment we had to leave this had to be the best place we have been as a family over the new year period, Jane was amazing as a host very informative and let you feel at home straight away. The property is everything and more to the point we only left the house once and that was for a lovely meal in the neighbouring village. One thing i will say is we can't wait to book again thank you for a lovely stay Jane and family.

Home from home
Lovely base for exploring the surrounding area, House is kitted out with everything you could need for your stay. Hot tub and outside seating areas are excellent. Only niggle is the access to back garden from living room was a wee bit awkward for my wife who usually walks with a stick. Still it is a great property to stay at.

We got off to a great start with a warm welcome from Jane and a really good welcome starter pack which was much needed after our long journey. We found the cottage very comfortable and spacious which is just what we wanted. As well as the cottage itself we all enjoyed the garden and the hot tub was a special treat for us.

Absolutely beautiful!
This property is stunning! We found it very underated after viewing the photos, as it is all much more beautiful in real life! Jane was an amazing host! If we needed to get in contact during our stay, she responded quickly and even went out of her way to come to the cottage if she felt needed! She left us some welcome treats, including a bottle of prosecco and homemade brownies, which were very much appreciated, especially after a long drive to arrive... Both the home and hostess were spot on! We will definitely be revisiting!

Wonderful
The listing really doesn't do this property justice. Inside and outside it's a gem. It's spacious, comfortable, beautifully presented and full of character, yet with all modern amenities. The garden wraps around the house which means there are sunny spots all day with a lovely outlook. And I couldn't forget the new hot tub with robes and towels provided. We spent hours in the games room too. We found the house a good location for exploring this part of the world but a haven to return to. And Jane was lovely!

Faultless cottage.
This has been the best property we have stayed at. Everything you could need for a holiday, if it isn’t here you probably don’t need it. The attention to detail in the cottage is excellent from the welcome items,fixtures/fittings to the decoration and equipment in the kitchen and the games room,everything is there. Jane has put together a fantastic family destination. The cupcakes were excellent too. My family really enjoyed this property. Jane was easy to contact throughout our stay and information prior to arriving was superb and we were greeted by Jane on arrival. If I could give this property more stars I would. Thank you very much from us all. Would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Amazing stunning Property
Wow what can I say, this is an amazing property, Jane is a wonderful host, answering numerous questions & queries prior to our arrival. The size of this cottage is absolutely wonderful, more than enough ample space for my growing family. Kitchen has all the facilities and lots of extras, we especially loved our fresh farm eggs delivered to us Saturday morning (best eggs my 12 year old has ever tasted). Myself, hubby & children loved the games rooms, we all spent so much time in there having fun. The hot tub is just perfect, our weather was not the greatest, although this did not matter. We do hope to return in the future. Thank you for a much needed family break with so many little extras, robes, towels, shampoo/conditioner, tea, coffee, sugar, foil, oil & a lovely bottle of wine * chocs for children to name a few. Thank you I have been highly recommending this property to all our family & friends, our 1st cottage holiday & most definitely not our last , love the Martin family
