Cottage vacation rentals in Darlington

We had an amazing weekend for my wife's 40th birthday. The cottage itself is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was an added bonus and our kids loved it. We would highly recommend it. Tom answered any questions I had and was really helpful, he even went an extra mile by getting some balloons and a card for my wife. All round amazing time.

We’ve had the most wonderful time staying here. The Loft is spotless, beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The views from the hot tub are breathtaking , it’s genuinely like stepping into a postcard! The perfect location for exploring The Dales. Claire and Neil are very welcoming and thoughtful, providing great recommendations. We’d thoroughly recommend staying here and would not hesitate to book again! Thank you for having us x

In a word - wow! Lovely cottage, well equipped with modern tasteful decor and an excellent kitchen which is well presented with good quality equipment. The hot was amazing and the area is stunning. We had great weather and enjoyed sitting out on an evening next to the stream. The little details such as doggy provisions and the welcome bottle of fizz were appreciated. We will be back!!

Lovely cottage in a great location. Walking the surrounding area from the house was great and very near to a pub and tearoom which both served great food. The hot tub was an added bonus!

Oh my goodness, this place is a dream! We had the best stay here, the cottage is just beautiful!! The views, hot tub, facilities and just everthing creates the most amazing stay. Catherine was absolutely fantastic at messaging us and being super responsive :) Honestly cannot recommend this place enough…

We enjoyed a great break in Peewit Cottage, which was spotless and had everything you need. The surroundings were well looked after and amenities great. The little touches, including the welcome pack (best we’ve had and included the dog!) and Prosecco and strawberries to enjoy in the hot tub were thoughtful and lovely. All the information you need is provided prior to arrival or readily available within the cottage. We used the cottage as a base to visit local attractions, all easily accessible by car. Glen was both very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend and somewhere we would return to. Thank you, Jacqueline!

Lovely cottage well located for exploration of North Yorkshire. The place is perfect for long or short stays, giving you a fully equipped kitchen, ample living and dining space and comfortable and cosy bedrooms. There are also plenty of entertainment options for rainy days in, plus a nearby shop and pubs should you be needing to stay local. Well worth a stay here!

Simple answer is... It was perfect! The perfect place for a mini getaway. The cottage was beautifully presented and well maintained. It had everything we needed, kitchenware to bathroom supplies. The location is fantastic and is only a 20 minutes away from other local villages. It made our first mini vacation perfect. Thank you.

Jacqui is a friendly, very responsive host. She offered us chance to check in the property earlier than checking time, and come out 2 hours later than checkout time, which we were very grateful for. Helmsley is a beautiful little market town with lots to do, lots of restaurants and cafes. Some lovely surrounding countryside and walks. We were very fortunate with glorious weather. I would recommend anyone to stay in Jacquis cottage.

First the negatives (although not many!). The charm and quirkiness comes at a price, namely very tight and steep staircases (sometimes slippery due to the polished wood floors), and the low wooden beams, although beautiful, I managed to bang my head on them about half a dozen times (before I learned how to duck!). That aside, the minor negatives were completely out-balanced by the many positives. The place was easy to find, it was spotlessly clean, comfortable and cosey. The safe and secure yard was great for Bowzer to run around in (He's a 3 year old cockapoo by the way!). The village itself is tranquil, and the short walk to the waterfall is lovely. The town of Leyburn is only a 5 minute drive or a 30 minute walk away, where there are plenty of dog friendly shops and eateries to be enjoyed. Overall then, I would recommend Puzzle Cottage to anyone who just wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle for a couple of days and recharge their batteries (and bring their dog too).

Enjoyed our stay. Very friendly hosts

What a perfect place to stay. The cottage is cute and cosy and has everything you need. Every convenience has been thought of. Everything is of high quality. Bed was super comfy, really nice quality bedding and the shower was amazing. The village is gorgeous and food at The Eskdale and the Downe Arms was superb. There are so many great walks in the area, even from the front door which was fab. Co-op was really handy for last minute items too. Annette was a great host. Very welcoming and friendly. She gave great recommendations for places to visit and things to see. We had really clear instructions for getting into the cottage on arrival. Annette always answered any queries quickly. A really lovely place to stay. We will be back. Thank you Annette.

Anthony was extremely helpful very kind and considerate. Nothing was too much trouble his wife and family were lovely

What can I say... Absolutely fantastic place. You couldn't ask for anything more. Really peaceful location with fantastic views of the hills etc. We had a strange issue but this was sorted out very swiftly by Malcolm 👍 We will definitely be looking to book again and have another peaceful time just watching the world go by. Thanks Bob & Chris

Such a lovely cottage, everything you needed was there. Helen our host had left us tea, coffee, milk and some delicious cookies. Lots of little touches made our stay wonderful. Helen was very helpful with transport which was a huge help to us. I would definitely recommend staying here for the beautiful cottage and the amazing scenery, walks and local places to visit.

Really wonderful stay at Helen’s cottage with friends. The cottage is bright and warm and the view is beautiful. Helen responded super quickly to messages and gave very detailed instructions on getting to the cottage and places to park. The beds were really comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We had a really lovely, restful time. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. Thanks so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the property is beautiful, and the surrounding area is stunning with lots to do within reasonable driving distance. Carey is a kind and thoughtful host, and provided us with breakfast supplies and fresh homebaked bread! I highly recommend staying at Carey's property if visiting the area.

We had a really lovely stay at Curlew Cottage for my husbands 40th birthday weekend. It was a great base to explore the surrounding area as we are into our walks. The house itself was beautifully presented, spacious, very clean and had everything we needed. The setting was very peaceful with beautiful views all around. We spotted lots of wildlife which was lovely. We would highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future.

Beautiful cottage in a great location for walking and visiting castles and national trust places. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful cottage, perfect for our stay in Great Ayton. The cottage was spotless and it was such a pleasure to stay there. Yvonne is such a welcoming host and was so accommodating for us. Very responsive and easy to communicate with. She made our stay there so easy!

Stunning cottage with magnificent views we had a wonderful weekend.

The cottage was perfect for our weekend doing a bike event. It was clean and tidy. We liked the fact we could get the cars off the road.

We had a wonderful few days. Idyllic. Recommendations absolutely spot on. Local pub very welcoming …. Visited several times 😂

A very beautiful and comfy cottage, leisurely walk to the main street, as a single person felt very secure, great comfy bed. Fantastic communication with Chris.
