A large house, the Gingang was ideal for our family get together. Centrally located in the much under appreciated Weardale we had a great time. The house was extremely well resourced and the garden and the summer houses are a brilliant addition. ##### Margaret Wilmore This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 6 Nov 2020 #### Lovely large house, short drive to lots of natural beauty sites, well equipped large kitchen and soc Lovely large house, short drive to lots of natural beauty sites, well equipped large kitchen and social spaces, professional and lovely landlord. Linked to two other houses which could be rented together if you want a really big get together. The houses offer good privacy too BTW. I’d rent it again for sure.

This is an excellent holiday cottage. Plenty of space, well laid out, and everything worked. Large kitchen and a separated large dining area. Double oven so no problems making food preparation. Sainsburys and Tesco deliver with no problems. Village is nice. Decent chippy and Co-op. Only one pub open at present but warm welcome there and basic pub grub. Lovely area ( although we had very dodgy weather) and plenty of walks and places to visit. Shared parking with other properties but plenty of space. Each has a separate seating arrangement and barbecue just in case its warm enough outside. Covid preps seem to work well. Thoroughly recommended.
