County Durham Self Catering cottage, 45 South Green, Staindrop, sleeps 6

Stunning cottage in a lovely place
We were a bit concerned reading the previous revier but completely unnecessarily. The cottage is stunning, fully equipped with lovely log burner ( we also got a basket of logs). Very comfortable beds (even the bunkbed). The garden is magical and fully secured what is great when travelling with dog. We met neighbour, very helpful and lovely lady. Staindrop is beautiful, specially in the autumn. We walked to the Raby castle and had few local trips. As requested we left the house tidy and clean and had no problem with the owner ( Kate texted us before and during the stay, was very kind and helpful). I can highly recommend the cottage, im sure we will be back soon.

Do not stay here !!!
We stayed here as our house was being built !! Just to say I have excessive ocd on cleanliness enough to have been referred to a counsellor from my gp so I was mortified that we recieved a message to say we owed £65 for cleanliness. Because there was a bit of dust under the settee she pulled sofa out and sent it to us, which I said have you not got a brush as a holiday property owner this is what you do ? , we made her aware that with the winds due to a storm which was highlighted on the news that day, ( had blew her back gate down )but tbh we thought it was someone else's garden out the back with old rotten furniture and the fence itself is dilapidated with gate wedged open with old chairs , I even had to tidy back garden near her property as it was a mess and now she's asking for money for gate!! , I had to unblock drains and dishwasher did not work but there was tools and stuff to use for this so it's obviously a problem she knows about.. soon as we left she messaged asking where blankets were I had washed them she didn't even look!! then apologised as she found them . Please if you stay here take photos of everything as this women is angling for money , also we left belongings such as xmas presents which she hasn't returned !! This is the darkest property I've ever stayed at it has no actual lights just old table lamps which work now and again , very disappointed in people like this !! So upsetting
