5 The Croft

Only minor suggestions - maybe another small table in the sitting for drinks and some hooks in the bathroom for clothes?

The comfy Bed & Sofa

Another tea towel & some wash up liquid

This is a self-catering holiday home with a local co-op in the village and an Aldi 30 minutes drive away. The owners gifted us a bottle of preseco 🍾 some cookies 🍪 🍪 and a lovely postcard stating where we were staying, the lovely lady Georgia(i think that was her name) told us about The Sill as we were asking about Hadrians wall and told us about the local pubs and shops. 5 The Croft was located in a beautiful village called Bellingham and the views were excellent. Myself and my friends would highly recommend this perfect little place to stay.

This is not a dislike, just a suggestion :) A cheese grater would come in handy

Beautiful property great location and spotlessly clean

I arrived at 5, The Croft half an hour early but Jayme let me in even though he was halfway through cleaning the house. He was very friendly and gave me a good tour of the property. It was very clean and looked as it it had hardly ever been used. Although I parked on the road outside for the first night, I moved my car round the back which made loading the car so much easier than the unloading which was a bit unnerving on such a busy road. Although busy, you hardly noticed any noise as there is quite a big front garden between the road and house. As it happened, I didn't need to use my car at all during my stay as the village centre is only a short walk away. The welcome pack was a nice touch and much appreciated. I had taken my own tea towels, oven gloves, cutlery, coffee, sugar etc so I didn't use those items which were provided in the house. There was a dishwasher that I didn't use but there wasn't a washing machine which may be a problem for a family staying for a week or longer. The bathroom was big more in keeping with a boutique hotel. The living room was big and even with four adults in it, I don't think it would feel cramped.

There was no freezer compartment in the fridge which could have been a problem if I had brought food for a week rather than the three nights that I was there. My only other quibble was that there wasn't much shelf space to put toiletries etc around the basin, nor in the shower.

This is a well appointed property just over the bridge from Bellingham. It has been tastefully updated and is a real treat to stay there - comfortable and cosy. A great base to explore a beautiful area.

A beautifully presented, cosy cottage. Absolutely spotlessly clean. The owner was very friendly and met us to welcome us to the property.

The property was amazing, the decor was lovely and the furniture and furnishings were to a high standard it was lovely and clean, a lovely view and located just a short walk to the nearby village, we had a lovely time.
