Bonny Bits is an old lead miners cottage dating back to 1790. It is named after the crystals that the miners would find in the mines. Stone walls, wooden beams and not a straight line or right angle in the place. Peaceful area surrounded by wildlife and numerous waterfalls. The village of Garrigill is at the centre of the North Pennines Area Of Natural Beauty. Walks from the front door to Ashgill Force; the Source of the River Tyne; the Pennine Way across Alston Moor; or to Benty Mine. Exposed stone walls cannot withhold the history of Bonny Bits, revealing long forgotten doorways and obsolete windows. Original front door and turn of the century fireplace add to the charm. A wonky wedge of a cottage embraces the quirk. 18th century draughts have been sealed and a baby blue log burner turns the cottage toasty. Delve into nature. Eat breakfast with the birds, just inches away on the window bird feeder. Love your food with this small but well equipped kitchen. Sharp knives, garlic press and electric whisk - essential for those cream topped hot chocolates or cream scones. Indulge in the roll topped bath and watch the world go by; the lambs in spring, house martins in summer and pheasants in winter. Step back in time and visit the local village shop, just how it used to be. Peace and tranquillity. History, nature and waterfalls await!
