Welcome to Foxglove Cottage, a beautifully restored two-bedroom retreat.
We like to think of it as cottage charm with modern comfort. Located in the beautiful village of Staindrop, this pink-fronted gem is as pretty inside as it is outside.
The living room invites you to curl up on the corner sofa beside the electric log burner, while the 40-inch Smart TV makes movie nights irresistible. The stylish kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking, featuring all the essentials plus a breakfast bar for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
Both bedrooms feature double beds, wall-mounted 32-inch Smart TVs, and generous storage — including a walk-in wardrobe, open shelving, drawers, and dressing tables. The bathroom offers a beautiful blend of modern design and classic comfort with a full-size bath and overhead shower.
Outside, unwind in the private garden with decking and seating — the perfect spot for sunny breakfasts or starlit evenings.
Parking is simple and stress-free with free on-street parking.
