Harbut Law Holiday Cottages

We’ve just returned from a short break at The Cottage between Christmas and New Year. We loved it. The cottage was wonderful. Clean, spacious, and perfectly remote. Ideal for our family of four and our dog. The owners even decorated for Christmas and left milk and treats. We made good use of the hot tub on two evenings. Booking was simple and on both nights no one else had reserved it, so it felt like we had it all to ourselves. We walked into Alston one afternoon, a lovely walk across fields and public footpaths. It's a small town with not a huge amount going on, but that suited us. We ate at Alston House and The Cumberland Inn; both were friendly pubs serving decent food. We also drove to High Force Waterfall, about 30 minutes away. Absolutely worth the trip. The cottage had all the essentials, but nothing beyond that, so if you’re staying for longer you might want to bring extras like board games, salt and pepper etc. Overall, The Cottage and the surrounding area were perfect for us. It was great value for money, and we’d really happily return.

Great place to stay for a quiet break, the hot tub is new and amazing even in December -1c. The owners are really friendly and will help wherever they can.

We stayed over Christmas 2024 and can honestly say what a wonderful time we had. The location is stunning and the cottages lovely, the owners were great and we had a lovely welcome pack with festive treats which was a lovely gesture. Highly recommended and we would visit again definitely….
