About this house rental
Homely 3-bed cottage with hot tub in the hamlet of Walworth Gate, set in the idyllic countryside of County Durham. Ivy Cottage is, in our opinion, surrounded by some of the most beautiful and fascinating landscapes in the country. Whether it be taking long walks in Hamsterley forest, a visit to the thunderous High Force or taking part in the many activity centres in the nearby towns, there is something for everybody to enjoy.
On entering Ivy Cottage, you are welcomed by a spacious hall adjoined by a wc on the left and kitchen to the right. Within its newly fitted kitchen you will find utensils and fixtures to make your stay comfortable. Leading on into a lounge dining room where you can put your feet up in front of the fire (one bag of fuel provided, any additional chargeable) as well as enjoying a sit down meal at the dining table.
The ground floor also boasts a games room with full size pool table, 58 inch tv and bar (unstocked sorry!) to add that element of fun to your stay!
Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to a master bedroom with king size bed, ensuite with large shower and walk in wardrobe. Further on you will find a smaller second bedroom with a double bed. Next to this is the third bedroom with a kingsize bed and also the main bathroom with large shower and bath (towels provided).
To the rear of the cottage is a large garden with garden seating, BBQ area (BBQ not provided) and, 6 person hot tub.
To the front there is space for 3 cars on a single drive.
Cot bed and high chair available on request. However, no stair gates.
If you want to explore then Ivy Cottage is a gateway to an array of activities and sights. The local area offers something for everyone.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Lovely base for exploring the surrounding area, House is kitted out with everything you could need for your stay. Hot tub and outside seating areas are excellent. Only niggle is the access to back garden from living room was a wee bit awkward for my wife who usually walks with a stick. Still it is a great property to stay at.

This has been the best property we have stayed at. Everything you could need for a holiday, if it isn’t here you probably don’t need it. The attention to detail in the cottage is excellent from the welcome items,fixtures/fittings to the decoration and equipment in the kitchen and the games room,everything is there. Jane has put together a fantastic family destination. The cupcakes were excellent too. My family really enjoyed this property. Jane was easy to contact throughout our stay and information prior to arriving was superb and we were greeted by Jane on arrival. If I could give this property more stars I would. Thank you very much from us all. Would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Amazing cottage beautifully furnished and immaculately presented. Our host went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely stay. Would have loved to have stayed longer.

Ivy Cottage was a wonderful home from home. Jane, our lovely host had thought of everything, from a very nice welcome pack, to garden games and lots of other small touches that made our stay such a good one. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again and would heartily recommend the place!
