Welcome to Stonecrop Cottage
Picture an inviting river winding its way through a wide wooded valley. Fish jump from the pools, which lie between the bubbling rapids, birds call from the trees and shooting stars fly across the black night sky. Nestling in the South Tyne Valley is the small hamlet of Eals, and near the end of the cul-de-sac is a picturesque whitewashed cottage with its own orchard.
In addition to the tranquillity and peace, Stonecrop now has modern comforts of a new kitchen and bathroom, a cosy log stove and 3 bedrooms. We have found this valley a place of delight and refreshment, and we would like to share it with you.
Visit Alston, the highest market town in England, or shop in Haltwhistle, the centre of Britain, en route to a visit to Hadrian’s wall. Discover castles in the hidden valleys or hibernate in the cottage and have Tesco.com deliver food to your door.
We have always maintained a very high standard of cleanliness. We use a local professional cleaning firm to ensure that everything is in tip top condition prior to your arrival. A copy of our Covid risk assesment and cleaning protocol is available upon request.
Guests are welcome to wander freely from the garden at the Cottage through the adjoining 5 acre field, and some woodland, to reach the riverbank which abuts a delightful section of the South Tyne river. There are a couple of benches there to sit and watch the birds and wildlife.
