This is a lovely house in a quiet location overlooking the river Tees yet close to the town center.. The open plan living, kitchen and dining area is beautiful, comfortable, spacious and cosy. Downstairs, the 2 bedrooms are comfortable and nicely decorated. The only areas of disappointment are the bathrooms, which are quite basic, and hot water system which simply isn't up to the job. The showers were lukewarm and on a cold winter day it was difficult to get the main living area up to a comfortable temperature .

The place needs a very deep clean. We reported this right away to the host and all they offered was for a cleaner to call round. Which wasn't very practical considering we only spent 2 nights there, we were out walking most of the main day so nobody around to meet a cleaner. Be aware there are excessive fees to say here. Also be aware that they initially state they hold your £250 damage deposit for 3-5 days, then I was informed it would be 7, now it's 14 days. I find this very troubling since I had to contact the host 3 days after check out to make sure everything was OK with the cottage and I will be receiving my deposit back. (minus an admin fee) They do give an option to pay £25 for a damage waiver however I feel this is nothing more than a cash grab scheme. The stay does have potential to be very nice and it's very disappointing that I've had to write my first bad review of a place, but until the host company is to address and take responsibility of the issues it remains.

The house is in a great location next the river with good views and plenty of bird life. It is close to the town. Could be better lighting in some areas, they have dark shades, the light pull cord was missing in one bathroom and there was a fair amount of dust around. Not very keen on the Host and Stay damage system. You can put down a deposit which is then returned with a £10 handling charge deduction, never heard of this anywhere else, or you pay a £25 insurance. Not really that great. The property handbook send in advance is comprehensive. The underfloor heating is very slow to respond and takes some getting used to.

River View Cottage was fairly easy to find and park right outside the front door. Its standout feature is the view of the River Tees from the rear of the property and the balcony that's accessible from both the bedrooms, this also faces the river. The main living area of the lounge, dining room and kitchen are all one big open plan room. It was all very well furnished and equipped. The main bedroom is a good size and is well furnished. It could do with a brighter bulb in the main light fitting, though. The second bedroom is quite a bit smaller but very well lit. Personally, I would swap the chest of drawers with a combined wardrobe and drawers unit. The beds and bedding were all comfortable. We didn't make use of the garden due to weather conditions. This property really could do with a condensing type tumble dryer being installed. Its location was excellent with regard to walking into the town centre and accessing local walking paths. Overall, we were warm and comfortable here.
