Surrounded by sunny gardens on your doorstep and stunning countryside further afield, any group of family or friends will find something to adore during a short break in this happy haven.

Our second visit to Parkview this year and we had another lovely holiday. Its a warm and cosy cottage which was great as the weather was inclement. Well equipped cottage with comfortable beds and not too far from the usual tourist places. We did take a trip to Barnard Castle which was further afield. Lovely northern town.
