About this property

Butterfly Lodge, Cosy December get away in this snug converted rural cart house

Book a few nights away for a December festive get away. Enjoy Mulled wine and Festive nibbles by the roaring fire with the tree lights twinkling. Butterfly lodge is a super quirky welcoming property! Frequently bathed in light and the garden catches the sun for most of the day making it a great place to kickback and chill, listen and watch the bird life and admire the hill views. Set in an Area of outstanding Natural Beauty a conservation area and a UNESCO geopark. The large coach doors are impressive and everyone comments on how inviting it makes the place opening the living area out into the garden with the trees and views beyond and the views out across the valley. The cottage is warm and cosy with exposed stonewalls, beams, a real fire and importantly, comfortable sofas and beds. There is something a little bit quirky and different about the decor which guests are loving. The cottage is situated with walks right outside the front door in all directions with a Riverside walk with mini falls a short 5 minute walks away and the small market town of St Johns Chapel just a mile away by foot with 2 pubs, a cafe, a well stocked co-op and rural fortnightly cinema and Town hall where interesting things do happen! Being on the borders of County Durham, Cumbria and Northumberland there are places to go and things to do in every direction. The Lakes are just an hour for example, Beamish museum 45 minutes or more local attractions such as High Force 15 minute away or killhope lead mine 23 miles away.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a bathtub or shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

A beautiful cottage
The cottage is beautiful. Everything you could possibly need. Anita is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The beds are really comfy and the coal fire was an added bonus. We would highly recommend a stay here.

Perfect getaway cottage
Lovely cottage in a quiet location in the wear valley. Great space, secure garden for dogs. Loved the Christmas decor (an unexpected surprise for our early Dec stay). Good base for exploring Weardale, Teesdale, Northumberland and Cumbria!

Comfortable Country House
Very warm welcome by both owners - great conversation about the house and area. The cottage is very well appointed, clean and comfortable. The location provides easy access to attractions in all directions - winding roads in beautiful hill country, and lots of walks. Just the relaxing country vacation we were looking for.
