Hall Cottage

Beautiful cottage this was our 4th stay and we are already looking at when we can go back.

The cottage is brilliant, secure gardens for the dogs. Wonderful large kitchen and utility room. All downstairs is tiled to laminate so great for the dogs. The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable.

A lovely house at Hall Cottage, comfort in beautiful surroundings.

This cottage is exceptionally dog friendly, and the perfect walled garden is secure and safe for your fury friend. The house has everything you need and the beds were very comfortable - the quality linen made it extra special. There are some nice walks locally and lots of other places in the wider area. Unfortunately the local pub no longer serves food, but is open part of the week for drinks. However there were other pubs within a short drive, we visited Brownlow Arms and had good meals. There is no local shop so best to stock up in the supermarkets in Barnard Castle. The owners were very attentive, easy to contact and helpful. Overall 100% recommended.

The cottage is very spacious, situated in a lovely quiet village, got some great weather so made the most of the garden when not out and about,,, garden is a great place to allow the dog to run free and safe in it ,,,very secure.

The cottage is clean and tidy , the beds are ok but bed are always down to individual taste, I found them ok but some in our party found them a bit hard ,the couch we found to be low and took a bit of getting up out of it but would be fine for others, also found the showers to be weak in the power of there water flow,the only thing that I would recommend is that they put a washer dryer machine in ,as we stayed there for 2 weeks ,a dryer would be really handy , but none of this would put us off coming back again . Thank you Mel for our stay

Beautiful spacious property in a lovely hamlet.

A home away from home, Ideal base for exploring, Would definitely recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay in the spacious, comfortable and very well equipped Hall Cottage.

The location is beautiful and peaceful, and we especially enjoyed the walled garden and spectacular walks along the nearby River Tees. We hope to come again soon.

Great location.

Secure garden was great for the dogs. Very good first impressions on arrival. Lovely clean fresh bed linen. Was a bit disappointed kitchen cupboards weren't a bit cleaner, but overall very good accommodation. Great space for 4 people and 3 dogs. Very comfortable. Good overall experience.

Beautiful property.

Well maintained. Walled garden ideal for the dogs. Would recommend.

A fabulous cottage with everything you will need for a stay.

The house and gardens were great for our dogs, fully enclosed and lots of room. The BBQ is a nice touch as is the lovely garden furniture. Lovely little village and lots to do within an easy drive.

We enjoyed our stay at Hall Cottage.

Very spacious house with everything you could need. The walled garden was very secure for our dog. Lots of nice places to visit nearby. We would stay again if visiting the area.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful location.

Dog walks from the cottage.

Very nice accommodation with superb garden and views.

In a very quiet village with lots to do and see nearby.

Loved our stay at Hall Cottage Cottage had everything you need for a very comfortable stay, great secure garden for the fur babies and plenty of on the door step walks.

This was our first stay but definitely won’t be our last, Thanks

3rd stay at Hall Cottage and great as always.

The facilities are perfect for a comfortable stay and the location is great to explore the area.

What a fantastic place to stay!

Hall cottage had everything we could have wished for. Very dog friendly (walled garden is fully enclosed). We will certainly be back in the future. Thank you Mel for making our stay so enjoyable.

This property is absolutely fantastic!

Comfortable and very welcoming. Out of the last 7yrs doing staycations this is by far the most welcoming to dogs, they were allowed on the furniture and due to this they provided the throws to protect the furniture. Everything was perfect, walks from the doorstep and loads of lovely walks all with 15-30 drive.

Hall Cottage was absolutely perfect for our stay over new year.

The house itself is beautiful, very comfortable (great beds), warm, cosy and had everything we needed. The wood burner was a delight on the evenings. There was more than an enough space for everyone in our party of 6 adults and 3 dogs.The enclosed garden was brilliant for the dogs and completely escape proof even for our most determined escape artist! Both humans and dogs were fully catered for. It was just a short journey by car to shops, bars and restaurants and so much to see and do nearby and lots of nice walks from the house. The village pub was lovely when open which currently is just a few hours a week. We had a great holiday and if we lived in the UK we would be regular visitors. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hall Cottage to others. Thank you Mel and Adrian for letting us stay in your lovely house.

Lovely cottage, everything you could wish for was there.

Great gardens, fully enclosed so no worries that our two small terriers would manage to find an escape route, which they normally can. Would highly recommend on all fronts. We have already booked to return in May 2026.

This property is really equipped from kitchen to board games books to read .

This property is spacious nice and big , the garden is enclosed and a nice size especially for 2 greyhound’s plenty of space inside and outside for them both . On arriving to the property we had a bottle of milk waiting for us and some lovely shortbread and even biscuits for the dogs . Highly recommend this property we had a love weeks stay the 5 of us and the dogs .

Lovely warm cottage.

Comfortable secure garden, large bedrooms, good position for visiting North Yorkshire

Nice spacious house in a lovely villiage location.

Very comfortable throughout, couldn’t fault the property, definitely home from home. Plenty of room for 6 guests & very dog friendly with an excellent secure garden

This is the first cottage we’ve stayed in that has a truly dog proof garden.

The dogs loved it and the little treats left for them and the covers for the furniture were all very well thought out. Lovely village very sad that the Four Alls pub is up for sale but hopefully it will be bought and be a place to eat again. All in all a very comfortable and clean cottage would definitely recommend.

We love this cottage!

It is the second time we have stayed here and would definitely return and recommend to others. Hall Cottage is spacious, well-equipped (without being cluttered) and so comfortable. The beds are wonderful! The village of Ovington is quiet and peaceful and there is plenty to do in the surrounding area.

Lovely cottage in a really lovely setting

Spacious well equipped cottage with large secure garden which was great for our three dogs.

The house is well presented and comfortable; we quickly felt relaxed and at home there. It is in a peaceful village and the local Four All's pub is welcoming and does great food. We had a lovely holiday and the cottage was an excellent base for exploring County Durham and North Yorkshire.

Fantastic cottage, perfect for all the family and the dogs.

Really comfortable and homely, had everything we needed. The village pub was lovely and location is great.

Hall Cottage meets every need.

Big garden for children and pets. Really felt at home. No stone left unturned when it comes to providing a fantastic holiday home. Very quiet and peaceful location. Loved our stay

This was our 2nd stay at this lovely cottage and it was as great this time as last.

Mel & Adrian are the perfect hosts and extremely friendly. The cottage is incredibly comfortable and has everything you could need.

Second time at Hall Cottage and had an amazing stay again.

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 dogs. Great location for getting out and about too

Hall Cottage in Ovington was perfect for us and my family .

Excellent facilities for humans and dogs alike. A large safe walled garden for the dogs. Well equipped kitchen all you could ask for . I whole hearted the recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a peace full retreat with their dogs. A public House close by that serves excellent food.

This is the most dog friendly cottage we have stayed in.

As well as allowing dogs on the sofa using the throws provided, both gardens are secure. The one at the front is the bigger and with the high walls means the road out front wasn’t a distraction for our dog. The kitchen was well equipped and the sofa and bed were very comfortable. The internet is slow but between days out at Raby Castle, Redcar beach and High Force Waterfall amongst others there is more than enough to occupy you in the day and Sky TV, games and shelves full of books occupied the evenings. There are also some nice walks from the cottage itself. We had a great stay and will keep this cottage on our list of ones to revisit in the future.

Great few days away with friends for birthday celebrations.

Everything needed was catered for. Internet a tad slow but cleanliness, facilities, long enclosed garden to keep the dogs happy and a gem of a pub a minutes' walk away for us humans, more than made up for it!

A really wonderful property.

Mel our host had taken great care to ensure everything needed to make our stay was provided. Beautifully warm and extremely comfortable. The local pub was a delight. We were lucky to see some stupendous sunsets and sunrises. Thank you Mel, we and our friends who joined us were really happy with your gorgeous property.

Great holiday cottage, well equipped for dog owners they loved the secure garden.

It was lovely and clean and the beds were super comfy. The village was lovely and quiet and the local pub was very welcoming and served lovely home cooked food.

Love this place.

Very responsive owners to any queries. Facilities and equipment very good. Beds are super comfortable and bathrobes an amazing idea! Garden is huge and secure for doggies. Would love to come back in the summer.

Lovely cottage and south facing garden in a tranquil village.

Perfect location for our needs and the weather was amazing.

A really nice cottage and the garden is ideal for the dogs to run about and not worry about them We have been 3 times and cannot fault it

Lovely cottage.

Well equipped with little extras such as slow cooker and coffee maker. Also lovely thick throws for the dogs and a dog bowl

A beautiful and very comfortable cottage.

Facilities and kitchen equipment excellent. Beds and bedding so comfortable. Extra touches such as dressing gowns were an absolute delight. Never stayed in a cottage so dog friendly. Provided with throws for furniture and beds should you wish to have dogs on them. Cleanliness superb. All in all terrific place to stay would highly recommend Hall Cottage. Home from home.

Get property in great location.

Lots of lovely walks and places to visit did not travel any more than 10 miles from house. Property was very dog friendly and was a great base for all of the family

A lovely cottage in a great position for the many local attractions.

It was very clean, facilities were excellent and it was ideal for our dog with a large garden for ball chasing and blankets, treats and bowl provided inside. The Four Alls village pub was sadly closed for the week but we visited four others in the area which served excelled meals and were dog friendly. Overall an excellent cottage which we will happily visit again.

Hall Cottage is lovely, clean and comfortable.

The owners were extremely helpful & friendly and provided all the information we needed.

Fantastic cottage with great walks from the door.

Enclosed secure garden was ideal for our dogs. Can definitely recommend the village pub the Four Alls for eating out but booking is recommended. Would definitely stay again.

A pretty, spacious and well equipped cottage.

A lovely large, private and secure garden. Very near a friendly and welcoming village pub. A great location to explore North Yorkshire and County Durham.

Have just returned from a family holiday at Hall Cottage, five of us and three dogs.

Did not disappoint - rooms big enough, utility room a bonus. Comfortable seating for all in the TV room, very well equipped kitchen and the garden… well what can I say the dogs had a ball! The Four All’s a MUST we were lucky enough to see the local Morris Dancers do a turn. You do need to book in advance though. Lastly, great location for daily trips and walks. 100% recommended this lovely cottage !

Lovely week spent at Hall Cottage, the secure garden makes it very much more appealing knowing that your four legged friend can’t escape!

!! The cottage was well equipped and clean.

Highly recommended… a beautiful old property that has been refurbished to an extremely high standard.

A stand out for us was the bedding - real luxury. Village location with a pub on the square (check they are open for food before arriving hungry!) Lots of interesting places to visit within 15 mile radius. Throughly enjoyed our stay … we’d love to return again in the future.

A wonderfully clean, comfy and inviting cottage that has everything you need.

Situated in a small village with an excellent pub offering lovely food and many great walks in and around the local area. Great walled, secure garden that’s brilliant for dogs. Would highly recommend, the cottage is superb.

Hall Cottage was nice and clean, very cozy.

Everything we needed was there very well equipped and cooked some nice meals. The beds were very comfortable. The village was very quiet, and the people were very welcoming. The Fall Halls pub was very nice, and the owners were lovely, we joined in the pub quiz, and had 2 lovely meals there. We will definitely be booking again hopefully a warmer month to enjoy the lovely garden. Annette Westwood

Hall cottage was amazing, clean, spacious and very well equipped.

loved the extra touches.Garden was large and very well enclosed for the dogs, no getting out from here, which is very important to dog owners. Lots of footpaths and bridleways on the door step and plenty to see a little bit further away.Fantastic holiday cottage, would definitely recommend to everyone.

Beautifully presented, extremely well equipped and thought out cottage.

Warm and clean on arrival with a couple of treats made us feel welcome straight away. Good selection of games and books, as well as tvs and radio to keep us entertained in the cottage, and plenty of beautiful countryside walks and places to visit on the doorstep. Secluded sunny walled garden, great for our dog, and we even managed to sit outside a couple of mornings with a nice hot coffee! (Coffee machine provided) Made good use of the slow cooker, great to return to a nice hot meal after a long day out, and 1 thing less for us to pack! Had a grocery delivery just after arrival, with plenty of space in large fridge/freezer. Nice and spacious with plenty of room when our family visited for games and meals. We were so impressed with finish and quality of the cottage, we have booked the smaller cottage next door for a return visit in the Autumn. Highly recommend , and looking forward already to our next visit!

Had a brilliant stay at the cottage.

It had everything we needed and more. Not only was it dog friendly, but the welcome book provided lots of information on local walks from the door which helped our first couple of days.

Hall Cottage lived up to expectations.

It was a comfortable, enjoyable place to spend the week, with facilities as described. The location was perfect, enabling exploration in the surrounding area. The Four Alls, the pub across the street, was exceptional, but book early to avoid disappointment. We would definitely stay at Hall Cottage again!

Spacious and well equipped lovely cottage

A Spectacular, spacious, sparking and superb cottage.

Perfect location for exploring surrounding areas of natural beauty. Everything we needed in the cottage and enclosed large gardens perfect for Molly the dog. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful property.

Clean, comfortable, warm, well equipped kitchen, great showers and a lovely big garden no dog could escape from. The bedding and beds were lovely too, for a great nights sleep.. Ovington is a very, very quiet village close to many lovely walks and places to visit. Can highly recommend this wonderful holiday home. Five stars plus any day.

Thanks for a great stay.

We really enjoyed ourselves and happily recommend

Loved the property.

Great garden.Very clean and comfortable. Ann.Bill. Dogs Florence and Myrtle.

Lovely clean and well equipped cottage.

Very peaceful and lovely village. Beds are very comfortable and all facilities excellent. The pub down the road did excellent food.

Amazing cottage with stunning private garden in a beautiful part of the country.

Excellent dog friendly property.

Perfectly secure front and back garden. Rooms spacious and downstairs layout well thought through. Would recommend providing a short hose and shower head so folks can wash dogs as it would help keep the property nice - not an issue for us as we took our own.

A beautiful and tastefully furnished cottage also taking in account the dogs.

Brilliant enclosed sunny garden which we all loved. Very friendly village and lovely walks from the cottage. Would not hesitate in recommending a stay here. We cooked most days and the one item we missed was a steamer instead we had to use saucepans. That was our preference though. Dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid provided etc. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The cottage is situated in a lovely little village with walks from the cottage itself.

The local pub serves good food. The cottage is spacious and well equipped with a wonderful enclosed garden which is perfect for dogs. The cottage has everything we needed and it was an absolute pleasure staying there.

We couldn't have asked for more.

A very well equipped cottage. It had everything we needed. It is spacious, comfortable and has lovely gardens. I could live here! The gardens are extremely secure even for the smallest, most accomplished escape artist.

Brilliant, spotless, very comfortable, spacious and dog-friendly cottage in a quiet village.

We all loved it! Garden is really properly enclosed. Everything you need for a home-from-home stay . No wonder it is booked well-in advance. A gem of a place.

Thank you for a lovely holiday.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped for 3 couples and a baby and especially welcoming for dogs. We really appreciated the dog bowls and dog treats and sofa throws left for us. We brought along our own baby gate so the dogs could sleep in the utility room at night without climbing onto the sofa! Lots to do around Barnard Castle and Richmond too. We loved the walk from Low Force to High Force and back. Also the Ovington village pub landlord was so welcoming and friendly. Thanks again.

Just WOW.

..returned from a week at Hall Cottage and it was amazing. Everything you could need and more!! Spotlessly clean and the photos don't do it justice. Great garden for the dogs and comfy cosy on the cold nights with the log burner. Highly recommended

We were very impressed with the cottage, it’s facilities and the attention to detail.

We didn’t have the weather to try out the barbecue, but enjoyed mastering the wood burning stove and picking herbs from the garden for cooking. The enclosed garden was great for the dog to have a quick run about between walks. We’d love to come back to enjoy sitting out in warmer weather and to revisit The Four Alls for dinner - definitely a highlight of our stay.

Lovely accommodation beautifully renovated listed building - downstairs worked well with 5 adults , a baby and dogs - beautifully warm on the coldest week of the year and idyllic walled garden - completely secure and dog friendly - unfortunately didn’t get to local pub but would love to return

Hall cottage is the best cottage we have stayed in.

Immaculately clean. Very well equipped with everything you need and more. Spacious, warm and cosy. The beds are so comfy. Great garden. Any communication with the owners was quick and friendly. We have booked to return. Next door (Garden cottage 1 bedroom) is owned by the same people and just as nice. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a break in a country setting. The owners have thought of everything nothing negative to say.

have stayed before and was not disappointed on the return visit , would recommend it to anybody wanting a relaxing break

It’s a beautiful cottage well equipped for all your needs Clean,spacious beds are comfortable great location what more do you need

Wow!

What a beautiful, comfortable and spacious cottage situated in a quiet village. We have had a wonderful stay at Hall Cottage, upon our arrival we were welcomed with cookies, milk, tea and coffee, much needed after a 3 hour journey. You have everything you need and more. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and the beds were so comfortable plus ample parking for two big cars. Both gardens were fully enclosed and safe for both children and dogs. The owners emailed us personally before our stay with helpful information we needed about the cottage, the surrounding area and supermarkets, making us feel welcome before our stay. It says it all when you get home and our 4 year old granddaughter says to her mum, I don't want to be here I want to be back at the cottage, so many happy memories, it was definitely home from home. We would recommend this cottage to all, great for families with children and dogs and very dedicated owners who care about giving you the best holiday experience. We will be going back to this beautiful cottage.

Good clean cottage.

Everything you could need.Good local pub.Very nice stay.

What a fabulous property.

Extremely well equipped and comfortable. The bedrooms were of the standard of a boutique hotel. Wonderful bedding and towels with bathrobes for our use. There were 5 TV sets in all. The kitchen had everything we needed and the lounge was spacious and comfortable. The large enclosed garden was very safe for our dogs and the nearby pub very welcoming with excellent food. Very highly recommended.

Lovely property and extremely quiet location.

Great garden for dogs as it's 100% secure. Everything was supplied that was required for the week.

Fabulous spacious cottage.

Wonderful big enclosed garden which our dog loved plus a separate smaller garden at the back of the property. Very clean and comfy and felt at home as soon as we entered. Already booked again for the summer. Would highly recommend

Absolutely fabulous property, felt at home as soon as we walked in.

We could have stayed forever. Lovely little village with a wonderful pub opposite the property that served the best food ever. The owners were a complete joy. Beds were really comfortable, garden was gorgeous and enclosed so our dogs could not escape. Good base to see Yorkshire, the scenery is spectacular.

Lovely spacious accommodation, very well equipped.

Dog friendly with enclosed garden. Quiet and peaceful village . Great local pub serving delicious food (dogs allowed) Lots of places to visit in the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend,

Clean spacious cottage with secure dog friendly garden, ideally situated to explore the surrounding area, local pub very friendly also dog friendly with excellent food.

Would definitely recommend the cottage to others.

We had fabulously weather and a parasol in the garden would of been welcome.

Absolutely loved the house and garden and dog friendly touches. Very clean and no doggy smells etc have recommended to many friends already

Brilliant cottage, lovely and clean.

All you could possibly need in kitchen, TV with sky, also great. Dogs loved the garden as did we! Mel really helpful with any of our questions and needs. Will come back again as very central to visit the north. We drove over to Cumbria for the day, went up to Bamburgh in Northumberland for another day, over to York. Brilliant. Loved it.

What a wow, from the moment of opening the door and entering.

Nothing more could have been thought of to make our stay certainly one to remember. The first class quality for both ourselves and our four legged family made for a relaxing fortnight. The house is situated within a picturesque village with such a friendly welcoming population ( in fact we both said that we could feel at home if we were to live permanently in the house). This holiday cottage is one which we certainly aim to return back to

Great property and location.

We were very happy with the property and had everything with we needed. Dogs were week well catered for and loved the enclosed gardens. Four Alls pubs was lovely pub, great food and very friendly.

This is just a lovely property, spacious, beautifully laid out and decorated, light and well equipped.

We are delighted with the dog friendliness of the owners, together with the lovely, large and fully secure garden. The setting and village are also lovely, right down to the great little pub down the street with such friendly owners and clientele.

Absolutely beautiful cottage and location is idyllic.

Really peaceful and just what we needed to unwind for a week. The cottage has everything we needed and is well presented. Numerous walks on your doors step. The Four Alls pub in the village is worth a visit, really good friendly service and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend this cottage and the area.

We had a wonderful week staying at Hall Cottage - a perfect venue for our 3-generational half-term holiday.

The cottage is spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished set in a really lovely small village, with a village green and a super little pub. There were so many lovely extra touches which made us feel really welcome from the minute we walked through the door. (In fact we had felt welcome before we set off having received helpful, friendly emails from Mel.) There were shortbread biscuits, lots of tea and coffee sachets, along with a generous selection of 'pods' for the coffee machine. There was a generous number of loo rolls, as well as finding lovely, pristine white bath robes for the adults. The kitchen is so well equipped and easy to prepare food in; there is also a utility room equipped with a huge fridge, freezer and a microwave - and, to the delight of the children, an old-fashioned set of scales complete with lots of different weights! The rooms are really good, with plenty of seating in the lounge and really comfortable beds. Having a bathroom and shower room worked extremely well for us. The house was spotless throughout and, although the weather wasn't very warm, we enjoyed the garden and really appreciated the note in the information book suggesting the herbs in the raised beds were there to be used. It is hard to convey in a review just what a great place this is - all I can say is that we are already telling all our friends about it and can't recommend it highly enough.

This cottage was amazing everything you could possibly want and absolutely perfect for three dogs.

The garden is so secure and the house is so welcoming for dogs. There were lovely walks provided by the owner also well as a handy guide for the property. The house it’s self was so comfortable and relaxing we will definitely be back again.

Lovely location.

Garden space good. House had everything we needed. Really helpful to have soaps, toilet rolls and things like cleaning products available to use so not having to bring with us. Decor lovely and relaxing, enjoyed couple of fires when the weather was poor. Plenty of hot water and heating and everything easy to operate. Had all the comforts we needed and dog friendly. An OS map of the immediate area would have been useful in the information basket. Pleased with cleanliness of the property, this is a rarity in our 25 years of cottage holiday experience.

Fantastic place.

Nice to see extras in the kitchen such as slow cooker. Place was so comfy and kept well. Can't fault anything.

We have stayed in a lot of different places around the UK and this is honestly the best we have ever stayed in.

Absolutely perfect in every aspect! Will 100% be coming back! Stunning!

Was a really lovely holiday.

Everything was so clean and there was everything I could possibly want provided in the kitchen. Really appreciated the dog treats left as well. It’s a very special extra touch that would definitely make me come again. The area was also really lovely with lots of nearby walks and the information booklet was very informative. Couldn’t have asked for a better cottage holiday

It was a wonderful comfortable cottage, , bathrooms and showers lovely and clean, the cottage was warm and had a lovely wood burning stove.

Had a lovely pub across the road, have already booked again for next year

We would highly recommend a stay at Hall Cottage.

The bedrooms are all a very generous size and boutique hotel standard with soft towels and dressing gowns. Very well equipped kitchen and utility room. Comfortable lounge for relaxing in the evenings. The dogs were well catered for with xlarge throws to protect the furniture. The weather was beautiful so we were able to enjoy the beautiful walled garden. We will definitely plan to return soon.

Ideal cottage, all as described but whole cottage and garden is in harmony with visitors expectations.

Good local pubs.,and unspoilt Teesdale on the doorstep.

We enjoyed a great week in the Hall Cottage.

The cottage, as last year, was spotless on our arrival and the large enclosed garden is ideal for the 2 Cavapoo dogs we brought along. We found nothing to fault and we recommend this property to any would be holiday makers in a great location for exploring N Yorkshire and County Durham.

First impressions were good but finding toe and finger nails, dog and human hair, toilet not fixed to the floor.

Shower that would become a trickle after 20 seconds of use was not acceptable. It put us off staying there which is such a shame as the cottage and village is lovely.

We had a wonderful week at Hall Cottage.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful tranquil location perfect for exploring this wonderful part of the country. Hall cottage was a home from home and offered everything. The bathrobes were an added bonus. Can not recommend highly enough.

Stayed here for a week in August the house was fabulous.

The owners had thought of everything to make your stay comfortable for arriving. Very dog friendly with enclosed garden plenty of space for them to run around. It’s a small village but an ideal base to visit plenty of places.

Superb holiday cottage that definitely exceeded expectations.

All in a great setting with a fantastic local pub just 100 yards away!

Superb cottage with excellent facilities.

Had a fabulous time and will be back to explore the area in more detail.

Fantastic cottage in a great location, the cottage exceeded our expectations.

It was so well equipped, and all the extra touches the owners had provided made it feel very luxurious. The part walled garden was lovely and very dog friendly.

Amazing!

We had a wonderful holiday at Hall Cottage. The cottage had everything and more that we could have possibly wanted/needed. The location was wonderful and we found so much to do (the good weather helped). The village pub was so welcoming and we had a lovely meal there (definitely need to book). Raby castle and Hamsterley forest were great trips out and Winston Bridge, just down the road, was the ideal spot for the dogs and children to play in the river. We could definitely have stayed in this beautiful place for another week. I would definitely recommend Hall Cottage to anyone and I would have booked again for next year instantly, had the cost not almost doubled!

We loved our stay at Hall Cottage, it had everything we could have asked for and more besides.

It was a very comfortable place to be, a real home from home, and the owners had clearly put a great deal of thought into making their guests feel welcome. The walled garden was so pretty and it was an absolute delight to sit out enjoying the late afternoon sunshine after a day out (we were very lucky with the weather). The countryside around is as beautiful as anywhere else in the country, but a great deal less busy. I recommend the Four Alls pub in Ovington for a meal (very dog friendly and very welcoming) but be aware there is no village shop so plan ahead! All in all, the three of us and our two dogs had a wonderful holiday. We would definitely go back and have no hesitation in recommending the area and Hall Cottage in particular.

Perfect cottage, perfect location, perfect holiday!

Hall Cottage provided us with a wonderful set-up, with incredible views from the bedroom windows and traditional features and comfort throughout. There are some really lovely walks, waterfalls, castles and quaint towns all within easy reach - we wish we had longer to explore more! Hall Cottages was such a lovely place to return to after each day trip - the dog loved the enclosed gardens and we all loved the BBQ, climbing roses, herbs and garden furniture. As well as the woodburner, spacious bedrooms and sociable living area with comfy U-shape sofa, snuggly blankets and Sky TV. Internet connection is there, but it isn't always perfect (as you are in the countryside after all!), so I wouldn't expect to go there and be able to do endless video calls for work, for example (but why would you want to?!). Such thoughtful treats left by the owner (treats for the dog and treats for the humans went down especially well!), so we felt really welcomed from the first moment. And we also appreciated the anti-bac by the key safe. The cottage was also absolutely spotless. The owners were also really friendly and helpful, they left lots of instructions and tips. We felt they would be there if ever we needed them during our stay, but we never felt 'watched'... we were left to enjoy our holiday, which suited us perfectly. Had such a refreshing break and wouldn't think twice about booking again! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Absolutely fantastic cottage in a lovely area that we have completely fallen in love with, so much to see and do, yet easy to get away from crowds.

The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with a well equipped kitchen and a great selection of books and board games to keep everyone occupied. The 2 dog secure gardens are beautiful and sheltered and our pooches adored sleeping on the steps outside the kitchen in the afternoon sun. Great walking straight from the cottage door and the owners are really helpful and welcoming. Can’t recommend enough. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!

Excellent location with lots of activities, places of interest and towns close by Well equipped accommodation

Lovely clean cottage in a great location.

Local pub, FOUR ALLS, serves great food.

This is a wonderful cottage, so comfortable plenty of space, everything we needed was supplied.

All good Quality The garden was beautiful , it was lovely to sit outside in the sunshine very dog friendly The area is great for getting around with the Yorkshire Dales on your doorstep

Everything detailed in the description is exactly like that in the cottage.

Clean, comfortable and very well presented. Great location for a relaxing holiday. We will use again for sure. Recommend the Four Alls as a fabulous place to eat great food, friendly owners and affordable prices.

cottage as described, lovely and clean, with lots of added extras i did not expect

Just a perfect cottage, with a lovely private garden and well placed to explore the surrounding area; very comfortable and has everything you need.

Although no local shops, we had groceries delivered. We had a few excellent meals at the Four Alls pub, managed by Dave and Christine who were extremely welcoming and great hosts. Plenty of sights in the area requiring a short drive, such as Barnard Castle with Egglestone Abbey, Raby Castle, Low & High Force Falls and easy access to Yorkshire Dales. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage for a peaceful stay, to unwind from hectic daily life.

Had a great week staying at Hall Cottage, really didn't want to come home.

The property is fantastic and has everything and more that you need. The rooms are a great size and the layout really works. Beds and linen are very nice quality. All appliances are good standard, lots of extras like tv's in all rooms, coffee machine, bbq, dishwasher. Property was spotlessly clean. The owners seemed very nice and helpful. Two fully enclosed gardens the main one is really big. Good off road parking. Ovington is a good base to stay in. Couple of decent walks from the front door. The local pub The Four Alls is fab, great food and friendly service. Would highly recommend this rental, we will definitely go back.
