The corridor from the kitchen leads to a ‘cave-like’ living room, with a big screen, armchairs and surround sound speakers.

The Cosy Cave cottage is full of character, a luxury modern stay with hints of traditional archways and stone walls. It makes for a perfect base when exploring the local Wear Valley area. The town of Stanhope has plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops to explore, and a lot of people flock to it for its C2C cycle route.
