Comfortable property with plenty of space and a hot tub in the garden, within easy reach of excellent local amenities, great days out and heritage coastline. Perfect retreat for families or friends.

Perfectly located in historic Sedgefield with its gift shops, friendly pubs, renowned restaurants and cafes, this welcoming cottage is ideal for families and friends and up to two beloved canine companions looking for a restful holiday. Leave the car and let your hounds lead the way to Hardwick Park (0.5 miles) for a stroll around the lake and woodlands and time to enjoy a coffee.

This stylish property, set over two floors, is an elegant home-from-home, and you will start to relax the moment you walk up a couple of steps and enter through the front door. Downstairs is a bright lounge with a large bay window that catches the morning sun. Unwind on comfortable sofas after a day exploring and watch a little TV while your pups nap at your feet. A spacious dining room lets you enjoy celebratory meals together and French doors lead out into the garden. The kitchen has a TV and all the necessary appliances to make meal preparation a breeze. The ground floor features a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a contemporary shower room. Upstairs on the landing is a play area for competitive fun with air hockey & table football. There is also a king-size bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom. Outside to the rear is a picnic table for al fresco dining and fold-away seating from which to enjoy the views. Unwind in the woodfired hot tub, watching the sunsets or stargazing.

By car, the nearby heritage coastline is less than 20 miles away; Seaham, Blackhall Rocks and Crimdon beaches all welcome paw prints. Head 10 miles to Bishop Auckland and catch the Weardale Railway to Stanhope, or head to the must-see open-air Beamish Museum (23 miles). Set tails wagging with a walk in the Yorkshire Dales from Richmond (23 miles), or Newcastle is less than 30 miles away to experience its exciting arts scene.

Overall we found the cottage to be clean, comfortable and spacious. The countryside views from the back of the house are amazing and a real feature of the property. Beds and sofas were comfortable and the shower was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of crockery etc. For us it was a bit disappointing that the main TV was fairly baRead moresic and had reception issues. However the location is very attractive and convenient for the village and all amenities. Overall a very good stay. Hide

Our third stay at Oaklea. Very comfortable and so accessible for lovely days out either with the car, or without. We had a fabulous day at Saltburn and Redcar. We walked to Hardwick Hall and around the lake, and a lovely meal at the dog friendly Pickled Parson in Sedgefield.

Had a great weekend at Oaklea Cottage. Easy to get to from A1. Peaceful location with nice views from back garden, and near to Sedgefield village. Good base for exploring wider area.
