First Floor:
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (2ft 6in) Beds

Parking for 1 small car; free parking nearby. No smoking. Please note: There are 3 steps in the courtyard and a covered well.. What was living in the 1960’s like? As a child, do you remember your grand parents home and everything that was in it? This will bring your memories flooding back as the owners have gone to great extent to recreate this period that you may have grown up in. Everything that you see is functional, from the original Belling electric cooker to the TV built into a cabinet styled to that era. The living room is full of mementos and authentic furniture, which has been collected from all parts of the country to create the right atmosphere. Sit in front of a lit fire and listen to vinyl records on the vintage record player, but don’t be fooled by the television, it’s a modern LED flat screen in there with all your favourite channels. Whilst the kitchen has genuine formica worktops, all in outlandish blue to match the cabinets and accessories, will it be duck a l’orange or crêpe Suzette that will be on tonights menu? Upstairs there are two bedrooms that comfortably sleep four, the main bedroom has a luxury dressing table with angular mirrors that will make sure you are looking like a style icon before you head on out for the evening, do you still rock those drainpipe jeans or that polka dot mini dress? Wake up revived and refreshed from a bath or shower in the classic black and white design bathroom.
Set in the centre of Shildon, you are only minutes away from pubs, restaurants and local attractions including the Locomotion Railway Museum, 1½ miles away, the stunning cathedral city of Durham, 12 miles away or keep the vintage feel of your stay with a visit to Beamish Museum open air museum telling the story of early 20th century life, 25 miles away. Shop ½ mile. Pub and restaurant 520 yards.
There is open water in the property grounds.

Peartree cottage was a great find for a short visit to the north east with plenty to see within a 40 minute drive. The cottage is well presented and spotlessly clean, and finished to a high standard to an era from a time when life was so different from today's. Our hosts Gillian and Stephen are and where very frendly and helpful gear couple,I would recommend peartree cottage you will enjoy your stay.Rob & Cath
