"What an amazing stay with the family for a week over Christmas!"
Everything about the house and area was clearly explained beforehand through Sykes emails and a lovely chat I had with the housekeeper, Irene, on the run up to our stay.
The house was even better than the pictures suggested and is fully equipped and beautifully renovated. We were a party of 9 adults with 2 small dogs and had plenty of space to relax. The underfloor heating in the lounge / diner made the heart of the house so toasty warm which was great after returning from either a walk to the Morrit Arms about a mile down the road or the river walks for which the footpath to then start right outside the property. We also went further afield to explore Barnard Castle, Richmond and even visited Tan Hill Inn for a lunch one day followed by a scenic drive in the dales. It was a truly memorable stay and a highlight of our year. Thanks so much to the Tithe Barn team!

"We really enjoyed staying at the Tythe Barn for our long weekend birthday celebrations with friends."
Its very rural location was a bonus for us, but it may not suit everyone. The property for us was generally warm and had a friendly feel, albeit that for 5 adult couples it generally felt a bit of a squash in areas such as kitchen and smaller bedrooms. It is just about adequately equipped and the outdoor utility shed was extremely handy as a drying room. We would certainly go back to the property when we return to Teesdale

"A fantastic property with everything we needed for a great break away."
We loved the semi rural location and there was so much to do, all within a short drive. A short walk from the house would take you to a fantastic river which our boys spent hours exploring.
Beds were comfy, plenty of bathrooms and the water was lovely and hot, and powerful showers too. Kitchen well stocked with great appliances, and a super dining table with room for all of us.
A huge shout out to the housekeeper Irene, who was so helpful and understanding when we had a slight health situation with my nephew. Your compassion and understanding is hugely appreciated.
We will most definitely be back.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a fantastic 2-night stay at The Tithe Barn!"
The property is spacious, beautifully restored, and full of character. The living area with the woodburning stove was perfect for relaxing, and the well-equipped kitchen made cooking easy. All the bedrooms were comfortable, and having multiple en-suites was a huge plus. The private courtyard was a lovely spot to unwind, complete with outdoor furniture and a BBQ which we really enjoyed. Plenty of easy off-road parking made arrival and day trips stress-free. A peaceful, well-equipped countryside retreat—perfect for families or groups. Highly recommend!

"It was our 60th Anniversary and we wanted a place to commemorate it, and this was the ideal place."
We had 9 people to be accommodated and the barn did this. It was warm and comfortable, All the facilities were spot on. We were able to cook our meals in an oven or a microwave, and the dish washer made cleaning the plates and bowls easy. The sleeping accommodation was brilliant, every room had a bath or shower and the beds gave all of us a good nights sleep. The sitting room had 3 large comfortable sofas all facing a television.
I am disabled and unable to have a bath so I use a shower, the bedroom we were in only had a shower, but it was not disabled friendly, perhaps it could have a fixed chair and a rail to hold onto when a person stands up. Another small fixture would be some shelves, we had acceseries with no place to put them, especially in the bath room. Other than these small fixtures everything else diserved ten stars. Thank you for making our Diamond Anniversary so wonderful.

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tithe Barn."
Clean, tidy and very spacious as described, perfect for my celebration with my family. Although weather was’nt great over the weekend, the underfloor heating in lounge was lovely to come home to after visits to various activities. The only thing we felt missing which we have found useful in others Sykes properties over the years was one or two board games to keep the kids ( & adults) entertained and off their phones. Certainly not a criticism simply a suggestion as we could/should have brought our own but bringing everything but the kitchen sink it was quite simply an oversight on our part. Final point all family members were able to have there own room and were suitably impressed by how large and well laid out it was, a tasteful barn conversion.
