Recommendations please - 2 bedroom holiday cottage, North of England

[caulicheese]

I am looking for recommendations for a short mid-week stay at the beginning of September.

Requirements
-Within approx 2-2.5 hour drive of Sunderland - so looking from Scottish Borders down to Peak District. Probably not into Scotland as we'll have already been a couple of times this year.
-2 bedrooms, ideally one room a twin room
-Village/small town location with shop/cafe/pub within easy walking distance
-Meticulously clean and bonus points for not allowing dogs
-Picturesque walks from cottage

Any recommendations very much appreciated.

And in case anyone else is looking for similar I can recommend Wraycroft Cottages in Reeth, although they are fully booked for September.
