What our customers say about their holidays

  Pepper Cottage is incredible.

  Abby has done a beautiful job making the house comfortable, homely, fun and practical with so many fantastic touches that make it a real pleasure to stay there. The house is designed and styled tastefully and artistically and she really has thought about what people want from a family holiday. The kitchen is brand new and airy while reception rooms are warm and cosy, stocked with everything you need including great games. The bedrooms are restful and comfortable. There is even a room for the dog and the garden is particularly beautiful. The egg chairs are fantastic! We were made extremely welcome with lovely, generous food/wine/coffee welcome pack. Wolsingham itself is great with so many walks, a fantastic pub with a Monday live music evening (Bay Horse), nice cafe, and Durham just up the road. I didn’t want to leave and I hope to be back at some point soon. Thank you for one of the best holidays we’ve had.

  The cottage was nice and clean.

  My sole purpose of renting this cottage was because it was advertised as an enclosed garden, which would have been ideal for my pet dog, unfortunately as soon as we got there it was obvious that the enclosed garden is not actually attached to the house, so you could not have the door open to let the dog out, without him going around the building onto the main road. Also when sitting in the enclosed garden the dogs from next door were at the small picket fence barking at my dog and trying to get underneath the fence, By the end of the second day, the dog was so stressed, and so was my husband and myself, with the garden situation, that we decided to leave, and go home. I did recommend to the owner that the house needed to be more secure for pets, and that it was a bit of false advertisement in my opinion. Not a lot of privacy here either, very much overlooked.

  We were disappointed with our stay here.

  The cottage is very tiny. There is a folding dining table & chairs provided but really no space to put it. The double bedroom has limited space to walk by the window side & at the bed & at the bottom of the bed. The kitchen window overlooks a well planned seated garden which you discover is next doors. When you open the kitchen door the small sloping garden that greets you is overlooked by the other neighbours kitchen window, there wasn't any where to sit out at the rear. To the front is a small patio area with seating & a table but no lawn as that is next doors! However, the cottage is extremely well thought out & been designed to very high standards. Using every possible bit of space to its advantage. You have to appreciate the quirky character of it & it is in the most wonderful area with the sounds skylarks, curlews & the local peacocks.

  Pepper Cottage is a lovely, cosy and well- equipped cottage.

  The cottage is in the very sleepy and quaint village of Wolsingham and offers lots of fantastic dog walks nearby. The cottage was super dog friendly. There was a utility / dog room set up with lots of well thought out touches for the doggy family member. The cottage was clean, cosy and well designed. The log burner was delightful after a day out walking & sightseeing. The bedrooms were very peaceful at night with the blackout blinds and curtains. Lovely touches by Abby owner for our arrival with bread, milk, cheese and wine, etc. Abby also went extra mile to check we had enough logs for log burner during a windy night. Highly recommend Pepper Cottage for R & R for an idyllic break, particularly if you have dogs as the cottage & location is so dog friendly!!
