"This is our second visit to Low Thearns."
We have been staying in holiday cottages for over 20 years and this is the best one we have ever stayed in. The property is warm, comfortable and well equipped and the thoughtful owner Sally-Ann, has furnished and decorated the cottage so tastefully it really is outstanding. There is so much to do within half an hour’s drive and lots of local walks too. The village is picturesque, with friendly locals and plenty of eateries plus a Co-op. Book this property you will not regret it, the only problem is you will compare every cottage you stay in afterwards to Low Thearns, and you will struggle to find anywhere as fabulous.

"A lovely warm welcome awaited us."
The cottage is comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The welcome pack and free range eggs were lovely, a real special touch, and very much appreciated. The owners are there if you need anything. Sally Ann and her family provide that personal touch, which is nice. I have already shared our gratitude with Sally Ann for their help during our stay. We enjoyed a relaxing week at Low Thearns, just what we needed.

This is by far the best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in. The owners are amazing so welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. The property itself is tastefully decorated and felt so homely. Everything you could need to enjoy your stay was there. Even thought of the little touches including a welcome basket.
What a little gem of a cottage. We will definitely be back.

"Fabulous cottage with every facility."
So warm, cosy and homely. Sally Anne was so welcoming and friendly. Beautiful area for walking and sightseeing or just relaxing in front of the log burner watching a film with a glass of wine. If you get chance go to High Force and see the waterfall, breathtaking. Certainly will be returning

"This is a beautiful cottage, every attention to detail has been thought through and everything is of a high standard and quality."
The cottage is so cosy and spotlessly clean. We stayed during the recent storm and it was a perfect excuse to stay in, put the fire on, drink wine, watch a good film and enjoy the cottage. It’s situated in a lovely village and we would recommend the local butchers and Samuel James coffee shop and deli. Barnard Castle is a nice place to visit and high force a lovely place to walk to.
The owner Sally Ann came to introduce herself and check we were ok. When we arrived the lamps and heating were on creating a lovely warm welcome and a thoughtful welcome pack was awaiting us.
I would recommend this cottage to anyone you will not be disappointed, we have stayed at many cottages and this is by far the best we have stayed in.

Very comfortable seating and beds. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise from the owner Sally Ann, who checked that we had all we needed after a couple of days, and was very friendly. She also sent us an email of suggestions of what was to do in the area and some local walks, which we did. A very well presented cottage. We would recommend Low Thearns, also High Thearns.

"This is a fabulous property."
The cottage is cosy, comfortable, beautifully decorated and well equipped. The owners have spared no expense in creating an interior worthy of a magazine. There is so much to do in Durham county we couldn't fit it all in. The owner was really helpful and sent us links for walks and places to go. Everyone we met in the village and in the county as a whole was extremely friendly. We can't wait to come back.

The inside is very spacious and furnished beautifully and very comfortably. The owner lives nearby and popped to see us a couple of times to ensure everything was ok. There is a small garden to the side which we were able utilise most days. The scenery is amazing and there are numerous walks to enjoy nearby. I would highly recommend.
