October Cottage

The cottage was in the perfect location in the village, right in the centre of things.

Plenty of little touches to help make the stay easy and a Coop store only a short walk away if we needed anything else. Perfect back garden for our dog. Lovely walks right from the door, and we also enjoyed trips to High Force waterfall, Durham and Barnard Castle. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Excellent cottage in a great location.

Perfect base for exploring the area. Local cafes were lovely and we all enjoyed the takeaway pizza plus fish & chips. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great 5 nights at October Cottage which was spotlessly clean and in a perfect spot within Middleton.

The kitchen has all the equipment you would ever need, dining area\sitting room well thought out and welcoming, bedrooms really comfortable and the garden was totally enclosed and ideal for our terrier. Would thoroughly recommend and we hope to stay again.

October Cottage is a fantastic self catering cottage right in the heart of Middleton in Teesdale.

It's very well presented with everything you need to make your stay perfect. Decor is modern but retaining a cottage feel. Great shower and beautiful free standing, deep bath is the height of luxury. The only negative is the occasional difficulty parking close to the cottage. However this is made up for by the great facilities and fantastic walks right on your doorstep.

Fabulous little place.

Very pretty and full to the brim of home comforts. Very clean and you would not know dogs stay here which we was very very happy with! A few minor maintenance issues- regrouting shower,paintwork touch ups but thats me just being picky. Did not put us off at all. We would have also loved a little gate to the front and small picket fence between cottages so we could sit out on the front with our dog safely but again, just a personal preference. We will definitely be returning. A great little cottage set in the most peaceful area in a 1st class location of the village.

A gorgeous cottage in the heart of Teesdale which was exactly what we wanted for a girls walking weekend!

Lovely and cosy, we would definitely come again!

We loved this cottage.

It was so well appointed and equipped and the garden was absolutely fully enclosed (a bonus with an escape artist spaniel!). The position in the village was perfect; easy access to shops, eateries and walks. The aim of our visit was to explore the Pennine Way so the location was ideal. We would not hesitate to book again if visiting the area and would recommend to friends and family.

We have stayed at October Cottage on several previous occassions in order to visit family.

As always we greatly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very well presented and comfortable with all we needed for the week.

Fabulous location and beautifully appointed house.

October Cottage is a beautiful and well presented cottage in the heart of Middleton in Teesdale with more than enough space for our party of 5 adults and a large dog.

The cottage is beautifully maintained with nice attention to detail. The garden is fully dog friendly with no potential for any escape artists. The owners were very friendly when contacted and a small issue with a kettle resolved immediately. Middleton is well placed for exploring this part of the country with great facilities including a well stocked Co-op, places to eat and drink including the amazing pies at Kaylee’s. Highly recommend October Cottage and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful accommodation in a fantastic location.

Cottage was spotlessly clean, amazing log burner! Comfortable beds and very warm. Would definitely return.

Comfortable accommodation in the centre of Middleton.

We had no issues at all except the key safe code had been changed without us being told, but a quick call to the owner quickly resolved the issue and we could get in.

Although we are frequent visitors to Middleton-in-Teesdale, this is the first time we have stayed at October cottage.

This is a lovely cottage, right in the heart of the town but set back enough for good privacy. The accommodation is great with everything you need for a comfy stay. The bedrooms are sumptuous with lots of wardrobe space too. We always come up here in the Winter and the weather can be very cold but this cottage has good, responsive heating and hot water. There's a log fire too, if you need an extra boost. We have a dog and it was great to have an enclosed rear garden for exploring and toilet duties. The town is really close to the river and other great walks, right from the doorstep. There are great cafes, pubs and shops within a few steps and the large Co-op store has pretty much all you could want. October cottage is well maintained and spotlessly clean. We would happily stay there again and I couldn't recommend it highly enough if anyone was looking to stay in this beautiful area. 10/10

Love warm property in the centre of Middleton in Teesdale.

What a lovely little gem of a cottage, Very clean & well presented throughout.

Situated in the middle of the village made it ideal for little excursions around the surrounding areas. Comfortable furniture downstairs & a very good nights sleep from the double bed upstairs. If I had to make 1 comment it would only be that maybe the windows upstairs to do with maybe a curtain net covering the lower part of the windows just for a little privacy from the outside onlookers. The Teesdale Hotel was great for food & drink & certainly worth more than the one visit.

October cottage is a lovely place to stay and it is in a great location, near to lots of places of interest and beautiful countryside.

October Cottage was perfect.

Every need had been thought of. Decor ,comfort welcome milk etc and lovely bottle of Prosseco. Unfortun ately we had to cut our stay short due to my husband being unwell. Apologies for not emptying the dishwasher.drying programme not quite finished.We would love to return

We have thoroughly enjoyed our week at this lovely, homely cottage.

Everything has been thought of by Faye and Craig to ensure a comfortable stay and it has all been done to a high standard. Within the village there are restaurants, cafes, pubs and pizza and fish and chip shop, also a well stocked Co op. Middleton in Teesdale itself is an absolutely charming village with lovely friendly locals and the suurounding countryside is breathtakingly beautiful. So all in all highly recommended. Should also add the back garden is brilliant for dogs being truly enclosed, unlike some that profess to be.

Very comfortable and homely cottage, well equipped, tastefully decorated.

Close to all amenities. The fully enclosed rear garden is a huge bonus for the dog owners occupying this beautiful cottage. Great walks from the doorstep too, Will definitely recommend.

We had a lovely week at October cottage, a super property in a beautiful location.

The kitchen was well equipped and with our almost daily visits to the village butcher we had some lovely dinners. The beds were super quality but we would have liked the bottom section of the sashes on the front to have nets or window films for privacy when changing rather than needing to shut the curtains each time (its a method we adapted in our own house for the same reason). The shower was amazing, tons of hot water and our very tall teenager loved the fact he didn't need to duck... meanwhile I was very grateful for the magnified mirror and hairdryer supplied as I forgot my own. The garden was perfect for our four legged friend to make himself 'comfortable' in and sunbathe after his walks. On his behalf we'd also like to thank you for recommending a vet in your book as our boy hurt his paw on the trip up. Our walks were therefore reduced in length but we visited High Force (fab Sunday roast at the Raby beforehand), Barnard castle (and the vet!), crossed the Penines and visited Corbridge roman town and Houseteads and Hadrians wall, Richmond, Low force and Summerhill force and Gibsons cave.

The cottage was in an ideal location, with a range of walks onto the moors from the door, great cafes and a deli almost next door and plenty of attractions, including The Auckland Project within a short drive.

The cottage itself was perfect for us; breakfasts either in the spacious kitchen/diner or outside in the garden and a comfy sofa to catch up with Glastonbury and Wimbledon at the end of a busy day followed by a relaxing sleep in the lovely bed. Faye was a perfect host, checking we were ok at the beginning, then leaving us to enjoy her cottage. Many thanks, we hope to return!

This cottage was perfect we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it Thankyou

Lovely clean, modern property in a good central location.

Lots of useful facilities nearby such as the Co op, newsagent and book shop. Plenty of eating places.

Had a wonderful 5 nights in this beautiful cottage.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Very home from home, tvs in each bedroom and lounge and WiFi which obviously kept the kids happy. No shortage of hot water, central heating you can control yourself and a log fire. Beautiful bathroom with free standing bath and walk in shower. Decorated beautifully with lots of extra touches which makes it modern but still has a cottage feel. The owners really have thought of everything! Located in a small village with a supermarket, couple of pubs, cafes and a couple of takeaways (the chicken parmo from the takeaway next door was beautiful). Few welcome essentials for when we arrived and the owner checked we had arrived safely and was happy with everything. My daughter left something behind, I contacted the owner who has very kindly posted it back to us….. nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our second visit and there will be more.

.. Highley recommended

We loved our stay, the cottage had everything we needed and the location was perfect

Lovely cottage in beautiful village in Teesdale.

Property had everything we needed and very central location, but with lovely views over to Kirkcarrion.

Our second holiday at October cottage and we were blessed by glorious spring weather.

Thanks Faye for the welcome bubbles and milk. We had a fantastic week walking in the area. Middleton has so much to offer guests. We used the fish and chip shop, butchers, cafes, village bookshop, craft shop and Coop. Were always welcomed with kindness and generosity. It’s an area we will continue to visit.

A lovely, well equipped and comfortable cottage.

Cosy and welcoming. Plenty of heat and hot water. Great, roomy bathroom and shower plus extra loo. All very clean. In an excellent village location within easy walking distance of a choice of cafes and two restaurants serving really good food. Beautiful countryside on the doorstep.

Excellent property really comfortable, cosy and very clean.

The local area has great walks with some fantastic views, we would definitely recommend the area and particularly Orchard Cottage

We have stayed in other cottages in the area of Barnard Castle, Staindrop, Mickleton, Romaldkirk and Middleton itself but October Cottage is by far the nicest and sets the standard.

Clean, warm and well appointed for all needs. The rear garden is perfectly safe for children or dogs as fully enclosed. Excellent location for walking with the dog, the coffee shops, pubs and take-aways are on the doorstep. Faye was a great host, checking if we needed anything while staying without being intrusive. Loved everything about the property and we will definitely return.

We had a very relaxing stay.

The house was lovely and warm, very clean and beds comfy. A couple of great pubs for food round the corner, a good chippy and some very nice teashops, also a very handy co-op. We had some great days out, Bowes Museum, High Force Waterfall and Durham Cathedral. Highly recommended.

Home from home but without work.

We have had a lovely restful week which was much needed. Third visit to October Cottage and we will be back. We love it! Everything you need and super cosy especially when the log burner is on! Frequented Winters, Samuel James, The Forresters, pub and restaurant and the food was amazing and great value, the butchers and the fish and chip shop. All top notch. Had Sunday lunch in The Rose and Crown in Romaldkirk, brilliant as ever. Lovely walks by the river and along the old railway line. Just the best.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas break in October Cottage and would have no hesitation in recommending it. Middleton-in-Teesdale has plenty of local facilities, our Christmas joint came from the local butcher, and we can also recommend Ozzy's Pizza next door!

We really enjoyed our stay and found both the cottage and the location within the village excellent for our needs.

Walks, pubs and shops were all great! We felt at home straightaway

October cottage was beautifully decorated and immediately made us feel comfortable.

It was lovely to have plenty of towels that meant we could all have two each in the week. It also made a difference to have handwash, dishwasher tablets and a supply of tea and coffee. The rest of the cottage was well resourced making it a home from home. The locarion was perfect with plenty of local amenities. We have thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay, thank you so much.

Lovely cottage location.

Enjoyed it so much we have booked again for March next year. One observation maybe a blind would be an idea for the front door as you can see straight through to where folks go in an out of the downstairs loo.

Warm and welcoming.

Lovely decor. Comfortable beds. Brilliant location.

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.

The cottage is ideally placed in a lovely village, close to pubs , restaurants and cafes.

The accommodation is first class and very cosy with everything you need for a perfect break. The local area has lots to do and we will certainly look to return.

A very cosy cottage with everything provided for a holiday stay.

It was great to have access to TVs in the bedrooms. The cottage was very clean on our arrival. There were great facilities available in close proximity to the property. Would recommend to others and would certainly return.

Fantastic cottage, excellent location.

Our family enjoyed the stay

We had an amazing week.

The cottage is stunning, beautifully clean, and has everything you need. It is a home from home. Middleton in Teesdale is a lovely village and is a perfect place to explore the stunning surroundings from. Thank you Faye for a lovely, relaxing break.

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

Immaculate and beautifully kept cottage.

Plenty of utensils, crockery and cutlery. We loved the location, right in the heart of the village, near cafes and pubs. Well stocked Co op a short stroll away. Choice of scenic walks from the doorstep.

Lovely, spotlessly clean property in centre of Middleton in Teesdale - perfect location.

Hope to be able to visit again.

Lovely comfortable cottage in a great vicinity.

Could do with more cutlery and crockery when there are 5 people staying. The Prosecco and milk supplied were much appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

We have stayed at October cottage twice now.

It’s a lovely cottage, very clean and a perfect home from home. I only wish that there were a few more pans and kitchen utensils to cook with! (Although I did manage with what is already there)

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.

Lovely cottage, clean and tidy , lots of walking on the doorstep

Absolutely stunning cottage- spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, warm, cosy and the beds were super comfortable.

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.

Great property.

Immaculately clean. Great response from the owner, very helpful. Everything we could need from a holiday home.

What a gem!

This property is furnished to a really high standard and very clean. Cosy feel and well equipped. Highly recommend.

Lovely comfortable cottage, everything we needed all provided with a few extra little touches.

Really lovely warm and comfortable cottage Perfectly placed in the village

Really enjoyed our week in Middleton in Teesdale, and October cottage was pretty perfect in every way.

It was great to have smart televisions which seems quite unusual in our experience. We are hoping to come back again next year as one week definitely wasn't enough in this beautiful area.

October cottage was perfect thank you.

We loved our stay in such a lovely cottage and village. The cottage was comfy, cosy and clean. The bed was so comfortable. Bathroom facilities very good. Lounge was perfect to relax in after a busy day walking. Didn’t light the already prepared stove as we were lucky with the weather. The local butcher McFarlanes never failed to deliver. Thank you for the welcome milk and Prosecco

This is our second visit to October Cottage and I don't think it will be our last.

The property and village are both wonderful and perfect to relax. The surrounding area provides plenty of opportunities to explore and discover some wonderful places.

Lovely property, great location.

Very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend

So beautiful.

The cottage, the town, the views from the cottage. I could go on. The little touches were the best: a pint of milk in the fridge; a bottle of wine on arrival; loads of towels; basic condiments Overall one of the best holidays we have had. Also love the north it’s the best part of England

Fabulous house so cosy beautiful decor , faye was so nice and nothing was a problem for any requests we had , we really enjoyed our stay great location too we will definitely be back x

A beautiful cottage perfectly situated in the centre of Middleton in Teesdale.

Clean, well maintained and loads of utensils if you needed them. Milk in fridge for arrival and a bottle of bubbles. Lovely back garden with shared access to very friendly neighbours who were happy to share information on the local area. We loved the huge shower and beautiful views to the hills. Fantastic deli/cafe on the doorstep. Loads to do locally and the most scenic countryside on the doorstep. Would love to return.

We had a wonderful stay at October Cottage .

The cottage is absolutely beautiful,comfortable with everything you need ,in a lovely idyllic area with plenty to see and do locally and far . This cottage is perfect ,we would highly recommend staying here for a relaxing break we hope to be back soon !

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location.

Cottage was modern, clean and well equipped - perfect stay

Great stay well equipped clean well maintained, nice gardens and view from front, handy for shops , could not have wished for more

The cleanest and best maintained cottage I have ever stayed in!

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!

Our stay at October Cottage was fantastic, we couldn't fault the cottage which was cosy, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, beautifully presented and very well equipped.

A special mention goes to the comfy beds and the wood burning stove :) We also loved the quiet location in the village, which has a few little shops, cafes and pubs, and the easy access to many walks and places of interest. Very highly recommended!

The best holiday house we’ve stayed in.

Couldn’t fault it. Very comfortable house with everything you’d need. Excellent location.

Lovely cottage, great location

Very comfortable cottage with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

Great location for exploring the local area and a short stroll to the local pub, fish and chip shop, delicatessen and supermarket.

A very comfortable and beautiful cottage in a lovely place.

The cottage was just as described with everything we needed for our stay. Middleton-in-Teesdale has many walks on the doorstep and a variety of places to eat. Friendly and welcoming.

Had a lovely stay at this wonderful cottage.

It was Home from Home . It had everything you needed . It is central to all amenities. Lovely shops ,cafes and pubs . People are all so friendly all speak in passing. We met the owners who were really lovely and so helpful ,we had a slight problem with the heating and they were there in minutes and sorted it for us . Would definitely recommend and we would certainly go back there .

Lovely cottage in the centre of the village close to the cafes, shops, pubs and fish and chip shop.

Plenty of walks, both long and short, from the doorstep. Cottage had everything we needed and the log burner was great on the frosty nights! Xx

This is one of the nicest properties we've stayed in.

It was so cosy and welcoming. One of the main reasons we picked it was because of the fireplace which we made good use of. Faye was so friendly and welcoming and answered questions we had both before and during the stay. The perfect host!

Very comfortable, well presented warm cosy cottage.

Everything you need is on your doorstep. No problems with parking. Would definitely book again.

A lovely warm comfortable cottage right In the center of the town .

The cottage was furnished in a lovely modern way with a separate toilet downstairs ( always handy ) . Middleton has an interesting range of shops and eating places . We were only there for a few days but enjoyed a couple of great walks in the beautiful countryside . I would highly recommend this cottage .

Fantastic property right in the centre of the village.

We were very comfortable, excellent heating and lots of hot water. Parking no problem and nice wee shops (plus Co-op) in the village. Lots of walks right on the doorstep. The owner was communicative and very helpful. We'll likely book again!

Highly recommended .

...Lovely cosy, immaculately clean and well appointed cottage in a lovely village with pubs, cafes, shops and great walls from the doorstep. October cottage was perfect for our stay, furnished and finished to a high standard throughout and a lovely welcome pack. We will look forward to returning.

We found October Cottage to be very comfortable, clean and well equipped for our break.

We appreciated the finishing touches to this renovated property and found its location in the village and surrounding countryside very convenient for exploring this lovely area of Yorkshire. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return some time.

Many thanks, we both had a wonderful stay in October Cottage.

The property was immaculate and perfect in every way. We enjoyed two good walks from the front door and others round about, visting the falls on the Pennine Way. We had a glorious day out in the Lake District and a to be recommended dinner in Forresters restaurant. Just perfect!

We had a lovely 2 night break in October Cottage.

Everything was as listed and we very much enjoyed our short stay.

Gorgeous property, great location in the centre of Middleton yet set back from road so really quiet.

The owners have furnished this property beautifully, the kitchen is superbly equipped and bathroom luxurious, gorgeous bath and powerful shower. We loved staying here and would love to come back. Thank you

This cottage is an absolute delight.

Perfect location in the village centre ideal for the local shops and cafes, and as a base for touring the area. We loved the layout of the house, and the furniture and fixtures were all of high quality. I had some prior concerns about parking because of the central location but there was always a space nearby so it was not a problem at all. Nice welcome gifts in the fridge on arrival, very thoughtful thank you! Trying to think of any negatives but there really weren't any at all. A real home from home and only sorry that we couldn't stay for longer!

Lovely cottage - the furniture, fixtures and fittings, in fact, everything provided was top quality.

There was everything we needed for a comfy and cosy home from home. Great position right in the heart of the village but it was still so peaceful! Highly recommended.

What a wonderful home to stay in and visit this beautiful area.

The village has everything you need on your doorstep. Excellent local shops if you want to cook at home alongside two pubs that provide top quality meals. There are many walks from the village with many more a short drive away.

Very comfortable character cottage which is clearly cared for by the owners.

Perfectly clean and well equipped for 5 guests. Friendly and helpful neighbours. Modern and stylish decor. Good long garden to relax in after a day exploring beautiful Teesdale. Highly recommended.

Had a great 3 day stay,at this wonderfully presented cottage,so well equipped, all you needed for a fabulous holiday,Thank you Faye for checking everything was ok on our arrival,hope to return very soon.

Rob.

we had a wonderful stay at October cottage.

Refurbished to a very high standard, very comfortable and welcoming with homely touches. We already knew the area but once again revisited some local walks such are high/low force, much enjoyed the Teesdale railway walk Mickleton to Middleton in Teesdale. Great fish & chips in Middleton!

A beautifully presented cottage in the heart of Middleton in Teesdale.

Good quality furnishings and decor made it feel like a real home from home. The cottage was spotless and the provision of basics to allow us to make a drink on arrival was much appreciated. We had wondered whether the lack of private parking might be an issue but even over the bank holiday weekend we were able to park directly outside almost every time we went out. We’ve had a lovely relaxing break, good communication from the owners who messaged on our first evening to ensure that we were happy with everything. We would happily recommend this cottage.

We had a very enjoyable stay at October Cottage.

It was warm and cosy and central in the village, as described. The cottage had everything we needed for self catering. The bathroom was great and had both a bath and a large shower unit, nice after a day walking.

Very warm and homely property.

Ideally situated with some very good walk on the doorstep. All the facilities in the neighbourhood including very a nice cafe, butchers, restaurants and Co-op. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage to stay.

Had a great time.

Our second stay - great cottage and location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this very comfortable & welcoming cottage.

In the centre of the small town of Middleton-in-Teesdale with wonderful walks from the doorstep & within a short drive. Everything you could need is within walking distance with great eateries, cafes & shops etc. We aim to return for another stay at October Cottage!

Very comfortable cottage in a great location.

We felt at home immediately.

Very enjoyable stay in quality accommodation.

Convenient for shops and other facilities. Easy access for walking. Parking was available close to property but on road so could be better. Would be happy to return.

We had a fabulous stay at October cottage & enjoyed exploring the area with our 2 young children(5&2).

All facilities are great & when we had a problem with the hob not working someone was straight round to sort it which was much appreciated. Our only issue which is more of a personal one is the bed in the main bedroom had an extremely hard mattress resulting in myself sleeping in another room as the main bed was giving me back ache which is not ideal.

Superb.

Lovely house - stacks of room - great location too. We will be back when it’s a bit warmer too! Thanks.

October Cottage is perfect.

Beautifully presented & cared for accommodation making it feel like home straight away. Excellent base for exploring the local area & for country/riverside walking. Would definitely recommend it to others. Looking forward to staying again in the future

Our break was really nice and the property was beautifully equipped and decorated.

Suggestion to make even better would be to provide larger bath towels, the ones provided meant I had to clutch them around me to save my modesty

We had a lovely week at October cottage for New Year and to celebrate my 40th birthday.

The cottage was gorgeous, tastefully decorated and cosy, we really felt as though it was a home from home, wish we could have stayed longer! The location was great as well, we enjoyed exploring Middleton-In-Teesdale and the surrounding areas especially High Force. It was so nice to arrive at the cottage after a long drive and discover it was exactly as pictured - if not better because it had also been decorated for Christmas. Only very minor criticism is the bath towels were too small so we wished we had bought our own. Other than that everything was perfect and we had a lovely week at October Cottage.

Absolutely beautiful cottage a complete home from.

home

October cottage is like a home from home.

So clean and comfortable and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful, even after the horrendous storm in the area which affected the power to the property. A very well equipped cottage and excellent contact with the owners if needed. This was our second visit to the cottage and looking forward to our next trip there.

Had a glorious stay at October Cottage in late November.

The cottage has been refurbished recently to a very high standard and is elegantly dressed and well stocked with utensils. It is perfectly positioned within Middleton in Teesdale and we had no problem with on street parking. There is a Co-op a few paces away from the cottage and Middleton is also served with other shops and eateries. Would return in a heartbeat.

Gorgeous cottage in a beautiful area, renovated tastefully, very clean couldn’t find a single think wrong ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just returned from a wonderful break up at Middleton in Teesdale.

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!

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!

Cottage was clean, tidy and very well equipped.

Recently updated it was beautifully decorated throughout. The website pictures were great but the reality was superb!

This was an excellent cottage, really well arranged with all that we needed for the week.

An excellent location with a good few lovely cafes and restaurants in the village, a great park for kids and lots of lovely walks from the doorstep- would highly recommend holidaying here!

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.

What a fantastic find this cottage was.

Beautifully decorated throughout with lots of homely touches. Loved it!! Will definitely return. Surrounding area fab with lots of walks to pick from for different abilities. Seaham Beach was an absolute delight.

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.

Very comfortable and charming cottage in a lovely village with good facilities including two good pubs and a fish and chip shop.

Cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped, felt very at home there and hope to return. Many wonderful walks from the door and further afield.

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
