    “One bedroom was really comfortable, the other not.”

    There was no instruction on how to use the heating and being of an older generation we didn't know how to use the thing to put the heating on. The instruction folder was totally out of date. The cold water tap needs serious attention and the dining chairs were dangerous as the bolts were falling out and we had no allen key with us to fix them. The bungalow was well equipped and the garden pleasant. There was very little to do and we couldn't access the walks because we couldn't download anything ...

    There was no instruction on how to use the heating and being of an older generation we didn't know how to use the thing to put the heating on. The instruction folder was totally out of date. The cold water tap needs serious attention and the dining chairs were dangerous as the bolts were falling out and we had no allen key with us to fix them. The bungalow was well equipped and the garden pleasant. There was very little to do and we couldn't access the walks because we couldn't download anything on our phones. I have already sent the owner a list of the problems and added some positivity too. The owner had the wrong mobile number and email number, because he said he'd sent key code etc in the morning but I still hadn't received anything until I phoned and gave him the correct information. This made a very stressful beginning to the holiday. We left early because of the weather but that was no one's fault of course.

About the location

ALLENDALE

Hexham 11 miles; Allenheads 8 miles; Newcastle 34 miles.

The town of Allendale was once the centre of a busy lead mining area, and many relics of the mining era remain around the area. Allendale is ideally placed for access to Carlisle and Lake District to the west, Hexham, Newcastle and Durham to the east and the Hadrian's Wall just to the north, as well as the Scottish Borders. There are lots of walks, cycling opportunities and unspoilt villages in the surrounding North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is an ideal location for exploring the surrounding countryside or travelling further north to the glorious Heritage Coastline. Allendale is home to the New Year tradition of Tar Bar'ls well worthing seeing or visit in the autumn to visit the Allen Valleys Folk Festival. Furthermore Allendale is a popular stay for cyclists carrying out the Coast to Coast.
