Prospect House, Rookhope, Stanhope, Durham, DL13 2BN

Lovely house but could do with a good clean.

We stayed for a friends birthday, location lovely but disappointed with the kitchen, the oven and oven door were dirty and so was the fridge, it was unclean with hairs left in it, clearly hadn?t been cleaned. The floor also wasn?t clean either and I couldn?t even go bare foot. There was a foisty smell aswell which I understand if it?s not used but you would think it would have had a good clean before we arrived, the downstairs toilet hadn?t been flushed in a while either and took a few times to get rid of the black at the bottom of the toilet.

Plates didn?t seem clean either and the glasses had a funny smell.

Upstairs was much cleaner and beds were so comfortable. Probably wouldn?t stay again

The house was beautiful and well equipped for our 10 guests. Location is perfect for weardale adventure centre and there is good access to local towns, Derwent fishing and the most gorgeous sceneries.

We all enjoyed the array of board games and football table and the owner is more than accommodating.

The beds were super comfortable 2 bedrooms with ensuite's. The rest have access to a beautiful large bathroom.

I would recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future

We stayed for New Year 2019/2020 as a group of friends with young children. The house is large, spacious and well equipped. It's warm and very homely with everything you could need. The village is lovely and the pub is well worth a visit, with beautiful walks all around. There is plenty to do and it's a great place to go and recharge your batteries. Would definitely recommend, and we'll definitely be back!

Absolutely fab house for a family Christmas 9 adults really cosy and beautifully dressed for Christmas

Kitchen/diner brilliant it meant we all could be prep and nobody felt isolated it was also really well equipped everything we needed definitely a home from home would definitely recommend this property

Tried to book for next Christmas but unfortunately for us it's already booked

We had a lovely weekend at Prospect House all the family age from 3 to 86 for a surprise birthday party for my sister. Cottage was lovely and warm and space was great for all of us plenty of utensils etc great for all the family 10 in total all to be together will definitely be back.

We have just spent a week here in this beautiful house and had a fantastic time

House has everything you could possibly need for a family stay. We have 4 children Ages 13,11,9 and 3

We all had plenty of space and the playroom was an added bonus which the kids loved and it meant we could watch some TV in the living room when they were playing

Great base to do lots of things eg Diggerland, Beamish, Bowes Museum, Kilhope Lead Mining Museum and Sci Fi museum in Allendale

Would love to come and stay here again

We had a lovely stay at Prospect House - a great place for a group of friends, clean, spacious, well-equipped kitchen, nice big table, conveniently located for Hadrian's Wall country (45 minute drive to Vindolanda), plus local walks from the front door. We had a toddler with us, and the playroom and toys were very welcome (plus there's a good playground 5 minutes' walk away). Great heating system - nice and warm on what was a very cold weekend.

Prospect house provided a great place to stay for a family get together!

Every room in the house has been finished to a high standard and looks very impressive as soon as you walk in. On a weekend where it was freezing outside with a lot of snow showers the house felt warm and cozy and was the perfect setting for a few days of relaxation!

A lot of thought has clearly been put into the house when setting it up as a holiday let. It gave everyone a chance to be together but also to have their own space. The kids loved having their own play room and the lounge

Prospect House is classy & of a very high quality. If you are looking for large & spacious accommodation with fantastic facilities , then treat yourself to a stay at Prospect House. No expense has been spared in the fittings & furnishings & cleverly designed living areas, which create a wonderful luxurious home from home feel.

The local pub is very welcoming & hosts regular quizzes & activities. The caretaker of Prospect House is extremely helpful & was more than happy to make recommendations for local walks, places of interest ,

We had a fabulous time at Prospect House. This outstanding property had a warm and welcoming feel on arrival, the decor was second to non, comfy beds, crisp white linen, the kitchen was equipped with everything and more. The property is so vast everyone had chance to enjoy their own space, yet have the pleasure of being able to dine altogether in the hub of the house. It was pleasure being able to take our family dog who enjoyed all the walks straight off the doorstep. To have the Rookhope Inn a two minute walk away was just the icing on the cake, they serve
