  • "Beautiful cottage, a real home from home experience."

    This was a real gem, everything needed for a wonderful stay. The beds were super-comfy and cosy and the shower was fabulous with a plentiful supply of very hot water. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was lovely and welcoming. A supply of tea, coffee, milk etc was provided on arrival, along with a bottle of Proseco which was a lovely touch. We would highly recommend this property.

  • "If you're looking for a place that when you walk through the door gives you a warm, cosy hug then October Cottage is for you!"

    We were lucky enough to come across this little gem when searching for a last minute family holiday this summer and we struck GOLD! The cottage is in a fantastic location, set back from the bustling main street. The decor is beautiful throughout with some serious attention to detail. The kitchen held everything we needed from a cafeterie for morning coffee (not every letting has one as we've come to discover!) to roasting trays for a mid-week roast sat around the large dining table. The cosy lounge is ideal for watching the world go by and relaxing in after a long day of adventure. The enclosed garden to the rear was perfect for little legs to whizz around in burning off extra energy before bed! The beautiful decor continued upstairs with three good sized rooms, all with plenty of storage, comfortable beds and blankets and cushions in abundance. The shower and bath were 'next level' and both felt like we were staying in a boutique hotel when in fact the whole place was far better than that! Middleton itself had lots to offer on the doorstep, we were spoilt for choice in the deli and the little children's playground was ideal for a shirt wander and enjoyed by our little ones. Faye, our host was really friendly and attentive - her and Craig really have got every base covered and in style! The milk and bubbles on arrival were very welcome and very much appreciated - thank you. We hope to return...maybe without the children

    Wow thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review we really do appreciate it and it's reviews like this that make it all worth while! We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Thanks Faye. Property Owner

  • "October Cottage is a great place to stay."

    We were blessed with good weather but the central heating and woodburner would make an autumn or winter stay comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed and Middleton is a charming village. It has good food options close by and a section of the Pennine Way is a few hundred metres from the door. A special mention to Faye; her attention to detail ran to the hand delivery of a Welcome Pack and the shower plug which she had taken away to ensure its cleanliness. I don’t recall ever staying in a cottage where the owner has done that before. The acid test to any stay is would you return? We definitely would.

    Had absolutely everything you needed. My youngest loved playing out in the garden and myself and my husband enjoyed having a pot of tea outside the front taking in the views. Evenings were spent by the log burning fire in the cosy living room after a bubble bath in the beautiful bathroom. The village was perfect and had everything you needed-we loved Kaylees bakery. Perfect location for exploring- we loved low force, high force, gibsons cave and the woodland area with waterfall that was just around the corner from the cottage. We didn’t want to leave- highly recommend to anyone and would definitely book again in the future. Thank you Faye for the perfect stay.

    We took oven gloves, bin bags, tea towel and toilet roll as most places don’t have enough but we shouldn’t have bothered, this place has absolutely everything we needed, including milk in the fridge and a bottle of Prosecco! The bed sheets are the softest I’ve ever slept in although the beds are quite firm (not necessarily a bad thing if that’s your preference). Little side note, the water gets scalding hot when you’re washing up so take care! Lovely village and the cottage is very well placed to access the shops and pubs. We expected to struggle to park on coronation weekend but we got parked right outside. Faye text on our first day to make sure everything was ok and seemed lovely!

    The cottage was gorgeous, clean and cosy with all the accessories we needed. It was also very modern with some gorgeous features such as the wood burner and bath. The location was spot on, right in the heart of the village and there were some lovely cafes and shops on our doorstep. The pizza place located next door was also lovely and we would recommend Forrester’s for some lovely food. We will deft be back to visit again soon. Absolutely loved it!

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, I’m really pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back soon, thanks Faye. Property Owner

  • "On arrival the property was in pristine condition, absolutely spotless."

    I was disappointed in the welcome pack( essentials) but only because we have had such great ones from Sykes properties before. It would have been nice to have had some milk in the fridge etc but there is a shop close by, just meant we had to go out before putting the kettle on after a long journey. The property information was helpful and we referred to it on a number of occasions. A lovely private garden made a difference as we had some pleasant early evenings out there. High quality furnishings made it extremely comfortable but one gripe is it would be helpful to have a soap tray in the shower and somewhere to hold shampoo. Just tiny things though. I will definitely recommend. A lovely stay!

    Thank you for the lovely feedback, we do usually leave tea, coffee, milk and Prosecco but on this occasion the milk must’ve been missed, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Also I’ve since purchased a tray in the shower for shampoo etc. thank you for the tip, really pleased you enjoyed it though and look forward to welcoming you back soon, thanks Faye. Property Owner

  • "October cottage is one of the nicest cottages we stayed in and we always stay in England for our holidays."

    It is beautifully presented through out and in an amazing part of the world. I highly recommend going to low force falls and walking to high force, it’s absolutely stunning, The village has 2 lovely pubs within walking distance, a pizza takeaway on your doorstep or if you want to cook the kitchen is lovely and you have a co-op on your door step. Faye the cottage owner went above and beyond for us on the day we were arriving as we we’re running late for our organised Tesco delivery but on contacting her, she not only went to the cottage to meet our delivery she put it away for us as well. We are already trying to book again.

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback it really does mean a lot, I’m really pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon, thanks Faye. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was lovely, in a great location in the middle of the village."

    The beds were comfy and the whole cottage was beautifully decorated. Great village to wonder round. Only problems really was the lack of storage for groceries in the kitchen, could do with a free cupboard and thicker curtain needed for the single room. But this wouldn't put us off rebooking and recommending to Friends and Family.

    Thank you for the feedback it’s really helpful, there is an empty cupboard available near the back door for groceries. Really pleased you enjoyed it and we look forward to welcoming you back, thanks Faye. Property Owner

  • "Got off to a bad start with the booking."

    ..double booked but luckily we were able to go the week after. The cottage is just refurbished and they did a good job. Very comfortable. Kitchen very well equipped (not only with appliances but also utensils). Village is excellent base for getting around. We are guessing they still have to do work on the back garden which I am sure they will make a good job of. Neighbour's friendly too. Would stay again

The property

Find an ideal holiday base all-year-round at October Cottage, a beautifully renovated, stone-built cottage located right in the hustle and bustle of Middleton-in-Teesdale town centre, with the North Pennines AONB in sight.

Stroll along the charming town high street and into a welcoming abode, kicking off your walking boots and snuggling up in front of the woodburning stove as the auburn flames warm you up, ideal for a frosty winter's night in front of the TV.

Let the chef of the group take charge of the cooking in the spacious kitchen/diner, a quaint room with fantastic amenities to suit all your dining needs, as well as a gorgeous wooden dining table where family meals can be enjoyed.

From here, access the enclosed garden, boasting a large verdant lawn up several steps from a lovely patio area with seating, a lovely location to tuck into alfresco dining on a warm day, or to sip on a hot mug of morning coffee.

Make your way upstairs to choose between one of three stunning bedrooms, all featuring their own TV for a lazy morning or late night movie, ample storage and pretty décor.

Prepare for a day of adventure in the crisp white bathroom, boasting a sumptuous freestanding bath for a relaxing soak, as well as a separate large walk-in shower!

Step out of the cottage and into the atmospheric Pennine town of Middleton-in-Teesdale, filled with charming boutique shops, an independent coffee shop, and several eateries including a restaurant, a fish and chip shop and a charming café.

The town is in the perfect location to explore the North Pennines AONB, following the flowing River Tees over to cascading water features including High Force Waterfall, Gibson's Cave, Cauldron Snout and Low Force Waterfall, surrounded by an enchanting leafy forest for adventurous rambles.

Walkers who enjoy a challenge will love the wealth of rugged peaks, tall fells, and lush moorlands, hike, stroll or cycle up your choice of High Cup Nick, Hilton Fell, Mickle Fell, or Fendrith Hill.

Spend a day exploring the lively market town of Barnard Castle, roaming around a host of historical attractions including a 12th century castle offering breath-taking views over the Tess Gorge, as well as an even wider selection of highstreet shopping, antique stores, country pubs and fine dining, as well as the fantastic Bowes Museum and The Witham Arts Centre where you can catch a range of shows from theatre, festivals, music, comedy shows and films!
