Oh no I’m so sorry to hear you found our new pillows uncomfortable. I hadn’t pre tested them. Thank you so much for staying I hope you will come back soon!
We have to charge a premium for a one night stay to cover our changeover costs. Hope the late check out was helpful for you!
Thanks
Kimberley
Great Stay
There were so many lovely extra touches throughout the cottage that really made it feel special and homely. You could tell a lot of thought had gone into making guests feel welcome and comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back again. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a cosy, comfortable and welcoming place to stay. We didn’t want to leave!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage and honestly couldn’t fault it. It was so cosy, comfortable and welcoming, and had everything we could possibly have needed during our stay.
There were so many lovely extra touches throughout the cottage which really made it feel special and showed how much thought had gone into making guests feel at home. It was exceptionally well equipped, spotlessly clean and had such a warm and relaxing atmosphere.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a cosy, comfortable and thoughtfully prepared place to stay. We’ll certainly be keeping it in mind for a future visit! ❤️
Most enjoyable home away from home.
☺We loved everything about our stay! The location was very pretty and quiet and it was truly a home away from home. The owner has gone to great lengths to make this accommodation as lovely as it is. The pub across the way was so convenient and the food delicious. Easy access to premises and parking. Highly recommend
Excellent location,pub opposite, the food was a varied menu.
The cottage was very well equipped and extremely comfortable .
Very thoughtful items were left out for our arrival in a food basket, milk left in the fridge
Cleanliness was exceptional, location superb.

Perfect place to visit surrounding areas.
Idyllic situation.
Everything and I mean everything you could want especially if you've forgotten anything.
Beds were ultra comfortable
Great having bathrobes provided, we sometimes take our own.
Easy parking
Free wi fi (our O2 mobile signal not good) so WiFi was great
Nothing too much trouble for Kimberley.
We were visiting our grandchildren in Newton Aycliffe and had a great time playing with all the games provided
Shower pressure good and had rain and adjustable head
Will definitely return

Very welcoming and relaxing property.
☺A cosy little cottage in a pretty village. The cottage had all that you required with lots of nice touches, like home made biscuits supplied by the owner.
A quaint cottage with all mod cons and the ambience of a 17th century cottage tastefully decorated.
We were there to visit Kynren and it proved to be the ideal location.
We had evening meal at the Bay Horse Inn directly across the road. Food was excellent but it’s definitely a must to book a table before your arrival day as it is very busy.
Thank you to the owners for a pleasant stay. Would we stay again? YES, definitely.
☹This is not a complaint, just an observation, plug sockets not available near a mirror for drying hair etc.
Thank you so much for choosing Stay Northside for your trip to County Durham and Kynren!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I am so sorry there was not a socket next to the mirror for you. I will certainly be looking to fix this problem! Thanks again for all of your kind words!
I hope you will come back soon!

It’s usually incredibly hard to find a 2 bedroom location but i’m glad i found this for our trip to Kynren! The host is incredibly friendly and the accomodation is beautiful in a lovely location nice and quiet. No problems whatsoever and because of finding this hidden gem we are planning to return in future to discover some more of the surrounding area other than Kynren!
Thank you Kimberley :)

☺It was great, the home is cosy and clean.
The location is superb, with the Bay Horse serving excellent food and drink just across the road. It's a quiet village, so felt very serene whilst at the same time you had easy access to all the amazing experiences the local area had to offer.
We visited Kynren with the family, this was only 15 minutes drive away and was a fabulous day out for everyone.
The house is beautiful and the level of detail both in how the home is decorated and also all the little extra amenities showed how committed the hosts are to ensuring you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
We will definitely be back.
☹Nothing it was great.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are so grateful that you chose Stay Northside for your visit to watch Kynren!
Thank you for being brilliant guests , we hope you will come back soon for a longer visit!
Kimberley and Gary!

Wonderful stay, albeit only for one night to attend Kynren. The home was spotless and comfortable, all amenities were available and we felt very happy returning late at night. Kimberley responded very quickly to all messages. Highly recommend!

I stayed at Stay Northside in June 26 and it is an amazing cottage. Very homely, great decor, with everything you would need and more when you are away from home. There were even dressing gowns available to use. Kimberley is a lovely host and reliable in case of any questions or needs. It has been the best airbnb experience myself and my husband have had.

A hidden gem!
☺The property was exceptionally clean, well furnished and decorated to a high standard. They really had provided everything you could possibly need. Really comfy and cozy cottage in a peaceful village location. Parking a bonus if needed. Situated across the green from a wonderful pub/restaurant, highly recommended! The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, and went out of her way to make sure we were looked after. You can tell they really care about their guests and their property. Would definitely return!
