The oldest houses in Wolsingham are at Whitfield Place on Front Street, there are three cottages, the left-most dated 1677 and with the initials 'DM'.

The other properties here have an even longer history. They are said to have been converted from the former Pack Horse Inn where Edward III may have rested on returning from his unfruitful encounter with the Scots in Weardale in April 1327. Another king, Charles II, is said to have ridden his horse up the internal staircase of the house in the 17th century and it still has an impressive staircase today.

Lovely Cottage in good location
Angate cottage is nicely decorated, well maintained, clean, and very cosy. Everything needed for a holiday was provided. Despite being located on a busy road the traffic noise was no issue, and especially at night it was very quiet. Short walk to the town center with some good pubs, restaurants and shops. Many good hikes can be started directly from the cottage. Communication with Eileen and Kevin was very fast and friendly, and Kevin showed us around when we arrived. We would love to stay here again, and also recommend to friends.
