Jacob's Lodge

We had a great week in Jacob's Lodge.

A couple of issues were resolved quickly by the owners who also gave us valuable information on the many superb walks in the area. The views all around the Lodge are amazing.

What a fantastic find!

The whole house was so clean, with incredible views. Ample parking spaces and well thought out extras, such as freshly baked bread on arrival, cake and cookies. The owner was so friendly and helpful too and we would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. With the unexpected bonus of great weather for our week, it was the icing on the cake for a fantastic family celebration for a 60th birthday, with ages ranging from 3 to 60. A couple of minutes walk from a pub which also serviced great food. Thank you again to Karen and co for your hard work in making the accommodation so perfect and ideal for our large group.

We had an amazing weekend at Jacob’s Lodge.

The rooms are spacious with plenty of bathrooms. Perfect for our large family weekend away. Owner and her brother really helpful and available for support when needed. Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay at Jacob’s lodge.

The property was spotlessly clean and had plenty of bathrooms, which made it perfect for our large group. The games room was a great bonus and kept everyone entertained, while the hot tub and sauna were the perfect way to relax. A lovely touch was arriving to the amazing smell of freshly baked bread, thanks to the complimentary loaf left in the bread maker. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay with excellent facilities and thoughtful extras. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and would happily return.

We have just had 5 magical day's at Jacob's lodge in Eggleston, a proper Family gathering ( my wife has 5 sisters) and this was the perfect property as one of our party was in a wheelchair ( then one temporary in wheelchair) so both downstairs bedrooms were perfect with full on wet room ( ensuite) the rest of the house was amazing, with an upstairs separate lounge (great for the football) all bedrooms were ensuite with great showers and the most comfortable beds ( no complaints from anyone) amazing views from the property ( especially when the jets were passing up the valley) and also kite's/ buzzard passing over regular.

Great Sauna and hot tub for you to use, again with the views. A very nice touch from Karen the host was the aroma of the fresh bread baking as we checked in. ......and it was tasty

Jacobs Lodge was the perfect venue for our annual reunion with ground floor bedrooms for the less mobile, plenty of space to relax and fantastic views over the valley.

The local pub proved a hit on Pie night too!

An amazing property with everything you need.

We were over the moon with everything this property had to offer, from sensational views, size of the bedrooms, cleanliness, facilities and layout of the property. Amazing. Very pleasant location and within walking distance to a lovely pub that serves delicious food. Owners were extremely my professional, friendly and responsive from booking , arrival and departure. Would 100% recommend this for a lovely break away.

We had a fantastic weekend staying at Jacob’s Lodge.

The property is lovely with stunning views. The bedrooms are well thought out with great provision for family rooms and there’s plenty of space. Great hot tub and sauna area and a large dining table. My only comment would be there isn’t enough fridge space for a property this large - another fridge would be really helpful. Overall, this is a wonderful place for family or friends to get together.

Jacob's Lodge was the perfect place for our group of eleven friends meeting up for a short break.

The accommodation was very comfortable and the location was excellent, with lovely walks from the door ad a friendly nearby pub. The views were spectacular.

Fantastic place to stay, the views are amazing.

The accommodation is great for a family get together. Exceptionally clean; everything is provided. The owners have thought of everything even the smell of bread cooking in the bread maker, cookies and coffee cake was a special touch. The games room and the hot tub was enjoyed by everyone. We would certainly recommend Jacobs lodge and we will look to book again in the future.

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay, the owners have thought of everything with Jacob’s Lodge.

Immaculately clean and well maintained, plenty of parking, incredible views and lovely walks right from the door (we walked to the start of a Teesdale Way circular walk and called in at the pub on the way back). It’s so well equipped in the kitchen too, which was great for our group of 8. We had a brilliant time, just trying to figure out when we can go back!

We had an amazing stay at Jacob's Lodge to celebrate an 80th birthday.

The accommodation was lovely. Beautiful rooms, all great sizes and lovely bathrooms. The communal accommodation was a really good size for us all. The owner met us on arrival to show us how everything worked which was a nice touch. The only criticism we would have is that an extra fridge would have been ideal. There is an American style fridge/freezer in the kitchen but for the number of guests and therefore food and drinks brought extra fridge space would have been great. We stayed in Feb so ended up just putting all of the drinks outside in buckets but if staying in the summer this wouldn't have been possible. This was the only thing to detract from a beautiful house in a lovely location. Thank you.

We all have had a great weekend at Jacobs Lodge 6-9th Feb 2026.

The Disabled access was fantastic for our friend, The house is amazing and we had everything we needed. Perfect.

Had a wonderful weekend at Jacob’s Lodge celebrating my 50th.

The house was perfect and had everything we needed. Owners were really helpful and showed us how to use the hot tub / sauna. All the facilities are of a high standard. We would highly recommend this property for a large group get together.

Stunning lodge made very festive by the owners with a huge Christmas tree in the front room.

Very clean & had everything you need/want. Owner showed how to use the hot tub Games room was enjoyed by kids. Walked a short distance (5mins) to the local pub for Sunday lunch which was delicious. Will def look for another break with them

Fantastic stay celebrating my mams 80th birthday highly recommended

A fantastic property, owner was extremely helpful.

Property was extremely clean, spacious and had everything we needed.

A beautiful well kept house with everything you could possibly need in lovely quiet country location.

A short walk to a lovely accommodating pub, with beautiful homemade food. From arriving to the smell of freshly baked bread, to leaving after 2 lovely nights stay, Couldn’t recommend this property enough.

Wonderful stay with all the family.

Beautiful house and location with great facilities for everyone, will definitely re book again :)

15 of us stayed at Jacob's Lodge for the weekend celebrating a big get together.

Loved the location of the house, facilities, home made bread and cake went down a treat. Couldn't have picked a more perfect place. Thank you x

Would highly recommend this property.

The pictures don't do it justice. The only small thing we would say is the TV in the kitchen, we couldn't get a signal but apart from that everything was perfect. The Moorcock Inn were very accomdating and the food was beautiful. Just so people know that you can't get a takeaway delivered to the house so make sure you have something with you.

Everything about this property was "first class.

" The owner came to visit soon after our arrival to ensure everything was OK and to show us how the Sauna and hot tub worked. The house has been designed perfectly to provide private bedrooms and large sociable areas. Our party of 12 had a great time! The views from the property are stunning and it is ideally located to provide a quiet and peaceful experience and yet be close enough to Barnard Castle or Middleton in Teesdale for shops, restaurants, pubs etc. Overall, a fabulous stay!

We loved the weekend away with family and grandchildren.

Met the owners they were very friendly and made us home made bread x cookies and Victoria sponge cake it was beautiful on arrival very kind of them. Thank you for a memorable time x

Fantastic Stay – Perfect for Groups!

We had an amazing time at this self-catering cottage. The place was spotless, spacious, and really well-equipped – ideal for a big group like ours, with people of all different ages. The layout worked perfectly for spending time together but also having our own space when needed. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Would absolutely recommend and hope to return.

Beautiful accomodation immaculate throughout.

Fresh bread, biscuits and cake waiting for us on our arrival which was a nice touch and much appreciated. Facilities were outstanding with everything you may need for your stay. We had a 70th party of 14 staying with more than enough space for everyone. Hosts introduced themselves soon after arrival and talked us through the controls for hot tub and sauna. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting.

Fantastic property, great quality and enjoyed by all the family - young and old.

Had a lovely stay at Jacob’s lodge with family the the views are amazing.

The owners were very helpful and welcoming and on hand if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend

This was an amazing property.

With plenty of room for all the family to have their own space. Would highly recommend it.

Jacob’s lodge was perfect in every single way.

Perfect location perfect house with fabulous facilities. Plenty of space and the house was so well planned space for everyone at once or time alone. The hot tub house perfect and kept the noise away from the house. Sitting watching the sunset indoor and outdoors was so relaxing. We will be back even if we don’t fill the house due to the location and serenity.

Your house is absolutely stunning and perfect for family and friends to get together.

Myself and family had an amazing time and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again and also recommend to others.

Great stay, had a small problem with the hot tub.

Owners came round within half hour and sorted the problem, great communication.

This beautifully presented spacious property was situated on a hill with stunning views of the countryside.

The owners were very friendly and helpful and dealt with our queries promptly. There was a lovely welcome pack which included freshly baked bread, cake, biscuits, coffee and tea etc. This was an ideal place to stay for 14 members of the North London MG Club with great facilities including a large parking area for all our cars!

Fabulous stay at the lodge, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay.

Everything we needed was supplied including tea, coffee, sugar and milk in the fridge for our arrival. Also the fab smell of baking bread, we loved the bread and biscuits left for us, nice touch. Only a slight complaint from us ladies of a certain age, it was very hot in the house and we couldn’t turn down the heating. Most slept with windows open but we were reluctant to do this on ground floor. Absolutely recommend the lodge and hope to visit in the summer sometime in the future.

This property is marvellous.

We were a party of 12 with little ones, teenagers and other varying ages and it was perfect for them all. The house is immaculate and the 6 en-suites and family bathroom really appreciated. The layout of the kitchen, dining and living room areas work very well and members of the party can go to the hot tub and sauna or to the games room (a full size pool table would have been the icing on the cake). The little ones can go to the second sitting room to watch a film when necessary or others can watch football on a bigger screen. To top it all the surrounding countryside is really beautiful. All in all a perfect holiday home.

Amazing weekend at Jacobs Lodge.

The Lodge is AMAZING and has everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked up with everything you will need to stay here for a week +. There is an iron, washing machine, hairdryer etc so you don't need to pack heavy! Hot tub and games room was a HUGE hit with the kids, in the summer you can open it all up but it was definetly a good idea to keep it closed during these freezing months! The bedrooms apart from 1 all have en suites which is great and very handy when there is so many of you. The beds were very comfy! The communication from Karen the owner was excellent and she was so helpful! It is a 2 min walk to the pub but we didn't go. The view is stunning and I can imagine in the summer it's amazing to sit out and go on a walk. I would highly recommend this place. We didn't want to go home!!!

As a family we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it x

Fantastic property, no faults at all , 16 family members , young and old catered for .

Hot tub and sauna perfect for a relaxing hour after a long walk in Teesdale , A great all round house , credit to the owners.

Lovely house.

everything we needed , in beautiful setting, Hosts kind and helpful . We loved our stay here Lots to see and do in the area.. We will return .

The lodge was absolutely perfect for our family .

.all 3 generations were catered for by the available facilities. The welcome treats though unexpected were a lovely thoughtful gesture appreciated by us all ! Everything you could need was available and it was immaculate throughout. We were all really impressed and nobody wanted to leave lol so we are all sorting schedules to return next year for a longer period of time. A credit to the owners who kindly popped in to make sure we were happy with everything not long after we arrived which was also really appreciated. If you are considering this property for your break away all I can say is don’t hesitate you will not be disappointed!!

What an amazing place!

It was perfect for a group of three generations, with the ground floor for grandparents and kids up at the top. Stunning views, two comfy living spaces, the amazing hot tub and games room, and a lovely welcoming pub just over the road. Really well supplied with all the kitchen kit you could ever need, and a massive fridge - the only improvement might be another jumbo-sized saucepan for big dinners. Karen and her family were on hand to answer any questions. There's even board games and an excellent array of holiday reading on the bookshelf if you fancy a rest! I'd recommend the little walk down towards the village, along the brow of the hill and down to the beck for a wade on a hot day. Really delighted to have found Jacob's Lodge and we'll definitely keep it on our list for big family get-togethers. PS Karen I'm sorry we forgot to write in the visitor's book!

Jacobs Lodge was lovely everything you wanted for a lovey stay.

Would definitely go back. No expense spared to make your stay comfortable. Family loved the games area, sauna and hot tub. Would recommend to anybody wanting a spacious comfortable holiday venue.

We had the most amazing time at Jacob’s Lodge, the facilities and amenities were second to none and the service didn’t disappoint.

The owners were friendly, reliable and couldn’t do enough to accommodate. I will definitely be booking and staying again. This allowed me to make my 30th birthday so special and I will cherish the memories forever. Thank you

Beautiful house is fabulous surroundings.

Our family all agreed that the house was stunning and clearly maintained to a very high standard. The only very small niggle was each day during our stay David came to visit unnanounced and we felt we were being hurried to leave on checkout day. The hot tub was drained around 9am despite the children still being in the games room playing and us not needing to vacate until 10am. Other than that we can't fault the property and would recommend it to other families for their gatherings.

Brilliant Weekend in a fabulous property with amazing views What an amazing property this is.

So well kitted out for every need. Large open plan living / dining / kitchen area with floor to ceiling windows which faced onto a beautiful view of the countryside. Another living room with large TV on the next floor. Separate games room / sauna / hot tub area which went down a treat with us all. The smell of the homemade bread cooking as you walked through downstairs was a real treat along with the biscuits and cake left for us. David called over to see if everything was OK and just to give us a little rundown on various things around the house, a nice touch. The 7 bedrooms were all of a good size, 6 having en-suite bathrooms. There is a lovely large bathroom which is on the same floor as the bedroom without an en-suite. Lovely walks and a great friendly pub just across the road.

From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the house and its views.

We were greeted by David who took us around the house and explained everything. The fresh bread baking away and other goodies in the kitchen were a lovely surprise!! We are a large family from 2 months old upwards everyone could enjoy the facilities and comfort they needed. The leisure block with the games room and hot tub were well used and enjoyed by all. The location 10 minutes drive from Barnard Castle was great, Raby Castle and High Force waterfalls were very close by and we had a couple of lovely days out. We would definitely recommend this house, the location and facilities were perfect for us, we will be back!!

Twelve of us, between 9 and 85 years old, thoroughly enjoyed Jacob's Lodge.

It was very comfortable, clean and warm and had everything we needed. The views were glorious. The Christmas tree was an appreciated touch; as were the treats on arrival. The owners were very obliging and could not have been more helpful.

We have stayed away many times as a large group of 15 people of varied ages (currently 4 months to 79 years) and Jacobs Lodge is one of the best properties we have stayed in.

Especially liked the 2 separate living areas and the extremely well equipped kitchen. Nobody drew the ‘short straw’ bedroom wise as all but one twin were en-suite and that person had exclusive use of the family bathroom. For being such a large property it was warm and cosy and the separate building housing the hot tub, sauna and games room was well used. Pub within 2 mins with good food and friendly locals was great. Owner called to make sure all ok first night and the cake, biscuits and homemade bread were the icing on cake literally. Will deffo be looking to stay again

What a wonderful cottage, well thought through and had everything to meet everyone’s needs.

We were aged 7 to 70 and we all had a wonderful weekend. The weather was typical for December and yet we’re were kept entertained the whole time, whether it was movies in the TV room, trips to the hot tub, taking in the views or enjoying the games room the cottage provided it all. We had Sunday lunch in the nearby put which was nothing special but nice & went to High Force which was only 15mins away for a walk, which was beautifu, especially as there had been so much rain! I’ve stayed in plenty large cottages and would certainly recommend Jacob’s Lodge.

A group of 12 visited Jacob’s Lodge in December and I have to say I could not find a single fault/downside to this place.

So much so we booked for next year as we were leaving. Ground floor bedrooms are perfect if any mobility issues. All bedrooms except 1 have en-suite which I think is perfect for larger groups of people. Everything you need is available. Fully stocked kitchen and the huge Christmas tree was just a beautiful touch. Every room was immaculate, hot tub/sauna/games room was just amazing. Owners were super friendly, location was perfect for us with stunning views. I could go on and on at how much we loved this place, but if anyone is having any doubts about booking - just do it you won’t regret it at all.

Absolutely beautiful property inside and out!

Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

The accomodation was perfect for our group - a three generation family holiday.

We had a wonderful weekend at Jacob’s Lodge! The house is beautiful and was spotlessly clean. The furnishings are high quality and the bedrooms have a nice hotel feel. Being a group of 16, we found it so helpful thay each couple/family has their own en-suite (or could claim the family bathroom). And the size of the property meant we were never on top of each other. The owners have been generous with kitchen items - so loads of crockery, cooking equipment, glasses, mugs. Lovely extras left for us too! And what we hadn’t experienced before on trips was a dining table that could actually accommodate the number of people the house could sleep. Loved the open plan kitchen/lounge so everyone could be together as food was prepared. But having a second sitting room was ideal so we could split up. The separate hot tub and sauna area was brilliant. Again, thought has gone into this so there’s a toilet and shower plus sofas - yet another great space to hang out. And the games room was great! Loved the arcade machine especially. Karen and her brothers were lovely and extremely responsive to questions. We will absolutely be coming back! Wish we had booked for a week!

Karen met us when we arrived and went through a few things with us.

The welcome package was lovely freshly made bread. The beds were very comfortable. The cooking facilities were fantastic and a little stock cupboard. Kitchen/ sitting room area was fantastic for our family get together. The only thing for us was the stairs didn’t have stairgates as we had 3 children 3 and under but ther was enough people to watch. The jacuzzi and games room was a favourite with the children and parents. The cottage was just everything we wanted as a family meeting area. The views were fantastic owners were very welcoming .

Loved the extra welcoming touch of homemade bread in the bread maker, cake and biscuits.

A beautiful home in stunning surroundings. Although we brought our own it was lovely to see that some condiments and cooking essentials were available in the cupboards. Our party thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the large kitchen, dining and living area allowed us all to be together in one place. Thank you so much.

Almost everything was perfect.

So much was provided it would be difficult to find fault. The only suggestion would be to have blinds or net curtains in the two ground floor bedrooms facing the road. Our friends using those rooms felt they had to keep the curtains closed so as to maintain privacy. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

Great for an annual get-together of old university friends of over 50 years.

Fab views. Good facilities. Loved the hot tub. Wonderful weather(never seen Teesdale in wall-to-wall sunshine before!)

Jacob’s Lodge is an excellent property, clean and well equipped and maintained but why are there no shelves in the shower cubicles for placing toiletries?

Very inconvenient One important reason for booking this property was its stated suitability for people with disabilities but the shower facilities are not safe for a disabled person. Proper cubicle safety requires: a firmly fixed handle on the wall, a proper shower mat with a bubble surface and a bath mat to step on. My grandson managed to find a bath mat for me in one of the other rooms, but all shower/bath facilities should have a bath mat for safety. While I would recommend the property to fit and healthy persons, as it stands I would absolutely not recommend it to a disabled person. As I am disabled, the above ratings mainly reflect this issue - it’s pretty, with lovely views, but - for me - not safe.

Loved our stay at Jacob’s Lodge, the owners have thought of everything.

Great location.

Absolutely amazing lodge with really good facilities and spacious for big families.

The owners were very friendly and available by phone whenever needed. Everyone really enjoyed it that we extended our stay with the owner and can’t wait to come back.

The house was comfortable and we appreciated the goodies and the homemade bread but the photos shown on the Sykes website were misleading and we didn’t realise we would be adjacent to a road which turned out to be quite busy.

As we had a 9 month old baby used to a quiet location with us this turned out to be a major problem. Some of the party enjoyed the hot tub etc.

We had a great holiday at Jacobs Lodge.

8 adults,8 kids had plenty space for everyone to enjoy .The hot tub and sauna was brilliant and kids enjoyed pool and games room.

Stayed at Jacobs Lodge on the 24th and 25th June 2023, for a surprise 80th Birthday Everyone loved the lodge, fantastic property, everything spotlessly clean, lots of space to relax in.

The hot tub and games room proved very popular too. Ideal that there is a local pub,The Moorcock Inn, just one hundred yards away, very convenient for the men in the company to escape to, also very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Jacobs Lodge, the proprietors were helpful and there for any questions or enquiries

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jacob’s Lodge, the house was amazing with great facilities, the owners were friendly and very accommodating.

The views from the house were awesome! We would highly recommend!

Great holiday home with lots of space indoor and out.

Set in a rural location with beautiful views over the valley. The welcome pack and homemade bread was a lovely touch. The house is well equipped and very clean. The 7 bedrooms are set over 3 floors with plenty of bathrooms. Added bonus was the games room which was great for the kids (the adults enjoyed it to!) and the hot tub and sauna. We were a family of 13 people ageing from 5 to 80 years and everyone agreed it was a great weekend

Had a fantastic week staying in Jacobs’s Lodge with family and friends to celebrate my 70th birthday.

The grandchildren particularly enjoyed the hot tub with its music and disco lights. The lodge has everything you could need and the surrounding countryside is superb. As it’s not in a National Park, the area tends to be much quieter than the Lake District or North Yorkshire. Raby Castle is well worth a visit. Lovely walks, quiet, pretty villages and lovely market towns - what more could you want? The weather was very kind to us, no rain, not too hot. The only thing I would suggest is to bring along some comfortable folding picnic chairs as the outdoor seating is just picnic table/bench combination.

Fantastic accommodation very clean, tidy and comfortable with everything you could need.

Everyone loved the hot tub and games room ! The views were beautiful and it was a lovely quiet area. Would definitely return in the future. The Lewis family

Wonderful house for a large group with space to be all together or to find a quiet corner.

Loved all the arty touches - beautiful

This was our 2nd visit to the lodge and it is perfect for large groups and families.

Property is maintained to an excellent standard, beautiful surroundings and had everything needed to enjoy our stay. Open plan living and kitchen area means everyone can comfortably be together, the owners are also close by if there are any questions or queries. 10/10!!

Holiday home was perfect.

Really well equipped, comfy, very clean and loads of space. The only negative was that the Wi-Fi was quite slow but that was a minor thing and everything else was pretty much perfect. Three generations of family all stayed and didn’t feel cramped and the kids loved the games room. We looked for a long time to find a place which would suit what we needed in terms of layout and facilities (like a table big enough to all eat together) and I don’t think we could have found a better place

Lovely property had a really good stay

I booked Jacob's Lodge to celebrate my Sister's birthday with the family.

Fabulous property which exceeded our expectations.

Jacobs Lodge is an absolutely fabulous venue for a group getaway.

We went as a group of 3 families with children aged from 10 to 17. The facilities were great, kitchen well equipped and most rooms en suite. The games room was brilliant and again well equipped. There is a pub just over the road which we visited twice, the food looked lovely although we didn't eat there. There are beautiful views from the back of the house and the area is great if you want to get out amd about.Highly recommend and we will be returning.

Full marks.

Fantastic holiday home for all the family. Great views and lovely quite location. I would highly recommend this accomodation and hope to return in the future.

Had a lovely break with family here, nice Christmas warm up.

This is my second time visiting the lodge and it’s a great space. So we’ll laid out room for everyone, and most importantly plenty of bathrooms.

Spectacular stay at Jacobs lodge, it had everything you needed and more!

The hot tub didn’t seem it’s cleanest but the lodge outweighed any negatives! It was beautiful!

Really lovely location, the house was amazing!

We had a couple of tiny maintenance issues but they were addressed efficiently and promptly without issue. Would happily go again - really enjoyed our week!

We had a wonderful stay at Jacob's Lodge.

The place was in a spectacular setting and close to various areas of outstanding beauty. Karen and David were excellent in communicating the necessary and left us to enjoy our break. We thoroughly recommend this hideaway and are looking forward to staying there again soon.

This was a perfect property for our large 3 generational family.

We highly recommend it to others.

Lovely house with beautiful views.

Plenty of room for a large group (we were only 7) with great ground floor facilities. Very helpful owners. Not an area we have visited before, but plenty to do and see.

Property was fabulous.

Very well designed for large groups. Very homely feel to it. Beds extremely comfortable. High spec finish throughout. The leiaure facilities were superb. Views absolutely stunning with some amazing skies at sunset. The owners were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Would love to return.

Hosts were really lovely and helpful, and the place was amazing!

!! We had a fantastic stay.

Very well equipped, comfortable and spotless.

would possibly like something to dry clothes without having to put tumble drier on especially with current energy costs. We would definitely recommend this cottage. !!! Beautiful location with some great local attractions.

Absolutely stunning property, very spacious and equipped with everything we might possibly have needed during our stay.

The owner was contactable when we needed information whilst we were there. The lodge was very well maintained and cleaned to an exceptionally high standard. All 14 of us loved our stay, would definitely return and would recommend this lodge to others!

Our family of 16 stayed at the beautiful Jacobs Lodge early December 2021.

The property was clean, spacious, warm, and everything you needed was on hand. A lovely jacuzzi with Sauna and games room. Something for everyone! A lovely surprise welcome with the freshly baked bread which was left for us. The owners were lovely and the views were amazing. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at Jacob's Lodge.

The effort that has been put in by the owners for this property is amazing, they've thought of everything! The kitchen was well equipped, the layout of the house was perfect for us and the hot tub and sauna was a lovely treat. We would highly recommend this to all.

The location and space, inside and out.

The quality of construction. The convenience of facilities. The jacuzzi and sauna.

Such a wonderful place well equipped comfortable everything we wanted and more games room and hot tub was a hit with all

We had an amazing time!

Arrived to freshly baked bread which was delightful. Dave came and showed us around, explained how to use the highly technical hot tub (which has inbuilt speakers) and sauna. The beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on with fantastically soft sheets. Everything was extremely modern and clean - very COVID-19 friendly. Would be a fab location for those who need step-free access as there is a ramp and 2 ground floor bedrooms with disabled access en-suites. All but 1 bedroom had en-suites which were all great sizes. The location is perfect for access to Barnard Castle and beautiful walks. Amazing 360 view from the house. Kitchen very well stocked - we had everything we needed to make a roast dinner and bake a birthday cake. Everything was perfect, we can't fault a single thing!

We stayed at Jacob’s lodge for a 40th birthday.

The house is absolutely stunning and scrupulously clean. The hot tub is huge and is checked daily by the owners who live next door. The kitchen is kitted out with all the amenities you could need including scales, hand mixer etc if you wanted to bake whilst on your stay. The owners are extremely helpful and always on hand if you need anything. We had an amazing weeks stay.

We had a wonderful time .

Beautiful ,spacious house, tranquil surroundings and the pool room and jacuzzi was a real bonus.

Absolutely stunning property in beautiful surroundings, the perfect place to hide away and relax .

I would definitely recommend staying here

A perfect stay all round.

The garage area with hot tub, sauna and games room is amazing and the fresh bread cooked on arrival was an amazingly thoughtful touch. 10/10

There was 13 of us in our Party and everyone thoroughly enjoy our stay at Jacob's Lodge, They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and they was everything that we could of needed.

The lodge is very spacious and they was plenty of room. We would not hesitate to go and stay there again. Just a fantastic week away in the Yorkshire Dales!!

The house was amazing the view also amazing the people very friendly we loved it all thank you very much xx

House was great, well kitted up for large groups.

Owner very helpful. Views amazing, as Is location for walks etc. Would definitely recommend .

We’ve just returned from staying at Jacob’s Lodge for 3 days in March.

This cottage has it all by the bucket load: great location, stunning views (even better when you’re sat in the jacuzzi), all the comforts of home, and a short flat walk to a friendly pub serving good food at reasonable prices. Inside and outside the cottage is up there with the best, we were spoilt for choice when it came to picking bedrooms! Communication with the owner is the best we’ve experienced in years, replies to questions usually within hours, so no worries there then. Thanks, Karen for a memorable break, we will be back.

What a fabulous house for our weekend break.

Greeted on arrival by the owner and the smell of fresh bread baking for us. Such a spacious house with the kitchen, dining area and open plan lounge big enough to accommodate us all easily for meals and relaxing with only the kids venturing to the upstairs living room to escape our music! For such a large group it was perfect with all the en-suites that getting ready could be done at pace. The bedrooms are all superb so it took me a visit to them all a few times to decide which we were having (first to arrive). The hot tub, sauna, games room area was an absolute winner with us all and we made full use of it every day. We ventured to the Moorcock Inn across the road for a wonderful home cooked meal with a Vegan and a fussy eater (me) catered for no problem, great service from the staff. I would not hesitate coming to Jacob’s Lodge again in the future, I highly recommend you book.

Great situation.

Pub less than 5mins walk. Great food. Lodge lovely and warm and spotless on arrival. Only issue was with wood burner. Very smokey when first lit but didn't really need it. Would definitely recommend.

We have just returned from a weekends stay at Jacobs Lodge to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday.

There were 14 people in total ranging from age 2 to 60 and there was something for everyone at this house! We already knew there would be a games room, cinema room and hot tub but there was also such a large range of books, games and films to keep everyone entertained. There was plenty of space for everyone including every room having their own bathroom facilities. Everything in the house was such good quality and to a high standard. There was also more than enough pots, pans, cutlery etc. It was a real home from home experience. The owner, Karen, was so lovely and came over to show us how everything worked and to explain contact details should we have any problems, although we didn't need to use these. There was also lots of information about the local area. We wished we had more time to explore this beautiful area. We will all be highly recommending this house and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Jacobs Lodge is absolutely amazing.

As a party of 16 we thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Everything was of the highest quality. Stunning views. Hopefully we will visit again soon

I booked the lodge for my friends 50th there was 16 of us , it had everything you needed beautiful location , I would definitely recommend it the owner was very nice and very helpful.

Owners are fabulous!

We felt like it was our home for the weekend. It was perfect for our groomsmen and their partners to stay for the wedding weekend. Everyone had a great time! Facilities are awesome! Immaculate too

The lodge is outstanding 2nd visit there and we love it!

Only downside this time is we realised having a one year old that a gate into the property to make it secure would improve it immensely

What can I say!

The accommodation was fantastic; a warm welcome was given to us by the family; even the weather was in our favour! There were so many places to visit within a short drive of the property, which with 6 young children is always a bonus.

Great layout downstairs made for maximum socialising.

Lots of great walks nearby, and fun activities in the vicinity too. We loved the welcome pack, especially the homemade bread. Hot tub also a bonus. Easy access to shops.

It was a great lodge with great views and walking distance to a couple of pubs.

The owners were lovely and let us check in/out earlier/later. there were chocolates,biscuits,milk and freshly cooked bread that awaited us that was a nice touch. All 13 of us said we would go back.

holiday home absolutely perfect great position stylishly built plenty of room for 13 of us.

hot tub, pool table, sauna and table football among the facilities.can not fault.thank you for making our holiday great.tony jackie and family from suffolk

Jacob's Lodge is an absolutely stunning place.

I spent the weekend there with a group of friends celebrating my 30th birthday and we all had a wonderful time. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, would definitely stay again!

Lots of space and facilities to entertain all ages.

Very well equipped house, with every home comfort to ensure a lovely, comfortable holiday.

We had the best weekend ever the house is georgoues head fantastic views there is everything you need in the house the hot and games room are fab the village pub is great I could go on and on an amazing weekend

We had a fantastic stay at Jacob's Lodge which was accurately described on the website and met all our expectations.

We would have no hesitation in booking this property again if we return to the area.

It was a perfect venue for our trip away.

We found the WiFi to slow up as the week went on but that’s a minor blip in what was top quality accommodation. The equipment in the games room was not up to the standard of the other facilities - fine for children.

We were met at the property and shown around in a very friendly manner.

All facilities were shown and local information given. The owners were excellent, cannot compliment them enough for their welcome.

This holiday home is fantastic.

It’s got loads of space for families and friends and an en-suite in each room except one which has its own separate bathroom to use anyway. The hot tub and sauna are excellent. We had mine and my friends birthdays here and couldn’t have asked for more. Fully fitted kitchen, utility room, excellent facilities, etc. The views are fantastic and there is a pub 2 mins walk away. There are Great walks around this area. Very helpful caretaker x Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this property.

This holiday house was fantastic.

Well equipt for cooking and even for our baby boy who had everything he needed including feeding utensils. The house was spotless on arrival and the owners made us feel very welcome.the hoise is very spacious and plenty to do for all ages. The hot tub was a bonus to. The house is absolutely stunning and it was great that every bedroom had their own bathroom. Lots of added details to. Thank you for such a wonderful stay adding to our Christmas memories.

We have just returned from a lovely week at Jacobs Lodge.

The property was amazing, well equipped and furnished to an excellent standard. The owner was very helpful and the location was perfect for sightseeing and walking. Highly recommended. We will definitely be returning.

Luxurious accommodation in a picturesque location.

This is a great house located in just the most perfect area with stunning views that are captured from the windows of the house.

Very warm and comforting , with everything you can thing of to hand. The hot tub and games room adjacent to the house is fabulous. the owners just left us to get in with things after a brief talk about do and don’ts which was very few. They even left us freshly warm baked bread in the bread maker . Couldn’t fault this house it was amazing 10/10 in anyone’s books !!!

The photographs of Jacobs Lodge dont do in justice, in reality its so much better.

The views from the lodge/house are exceptional and will be missed by all of us. Jacobs Lodge was booked for a family get togther to celebrate a 90th Birthday and it was just perfect, it suited all generations from 4yrs old to 90years young and we all hope to visit again in the near future. We would also like to say a big thank you to the owners who were warm, friendly and extremely helpful.

Absolutely outstanding property, and perfect for our multi generational family weekend.

With ground floor rooms for the oldies and a games room for the kids, top-end fixtures and fittings for us all to appreciate and the most well equipped kitchen I have ever seen for a rental property. FABULOUS! The views and walks from the house are great. Cant wait to return. Thank you for the welcome treats - greatly appreciated!

No we thought it was just perfect and 5 days of cloudless skies helped, can't believe we didn't need our wet gear in the North East.

Fabulous location, great walks etc. We will be back.

The friendly hospitality, luxurious accommodation and amazing views.

We stayed at Jacob's Lodge in Eggleston.

The house was wonderful, it was perfect for our group with 7 bedrooms, 6 en suite. The hot tub was a bonus and the games room with pool table and table football was brilliant for our teenage grandchildren. The best thing about the house was the view from the lounge which was spectacular. It was very close to Barnard Castle and the Bowes Museum and only an hour to the lakes. It was perfect.

The owners were extremely helpful and friendly.

The house is in the most beautiful of settings - not sure enough is made of this in the description. It is very well equipped with great little touches like heated towel rails in the bathrooms. Minor fault in the house description - it mentions a Pilates/ Yoga space? There was no sign of it.

Jacobs Lodge was by far the best house we have stayed in, we are a family of 16 members, and the living space and ameneties were amazing

Seven ladies on a walking holiday the booking was made on the phone with sykes it was very easy and helpful advice given i was very impressed we were greeted by the owners of jacobs lodge which was so nice they gave us lots of information on walks which were fantastic the house was amazing we could not find a fault the whole experience from start to finish was great thankyou so much .

Jacobs Lodge exceeded all our expectations.

The house was fantastic built to a really high spec and so clean and modern and well equipped with everything you need. The hot tub facilities were brilliant, 11 of us stayed and we had a lovely weekend. The owners were so helpful and friendly it was a pleasure to stay there and I would not hesitate in booking again.

What an amazing place!

From the moment we arrived with the welcome of a roaring fire and freshly made bread, to the moment we left we could not have asked for any more in this place. The facilities are amazing and are finished to the highest standards. The sauna and hot tub were welcome additions after long walks on the beautiful Durham Dales. So thrilled were we with Jacobs Lodge that as soon as we got home we immediately booked in for next year!

An excellent trip away, a shame the snow cut it short on the Sunday!

The host was excellent and really made you feel welcome, also came over when we had trouble with the sauna. Highly recommend this property, the perfect weekend!

My wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our son and daughter, grandchildren and their partners, Jacob's Lodge is amazing all you need and more, facilities first class.

Great weekend for my mams 60th birthday - photos don't do the property justice.

Owner friendly and helpful and even made us a fresh loaf of bread for us arriving. Can't fault the property at all it has everything you'd ever need and plenty of it too. Great weekend would return.

This is a wonderful property for a family get together.

It is spacious, with a large well equipped kitchen with spacious dining/ living area. All rooms are to a high standard and having a bathroom per bedroom was a bonus. The hot tub and games room were a real hit, and the upstairs lounge was a great space for the kids to have as their own. Beautiful Christmas tree too! The property has stunning views over open countryside, and there are plenty of walks on your doorstep. We had a lovely meal out at the three tuns. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

Had an amazing family holiday in this beautiful lodge.

The owners were so helpful and really made sure we all had a great weekend. Lodge was just amazing with beautiful views. Very comfortable beds and gorgeous showers. Really enjoyed the cinema room and hot tub. We will be definitely be coming back.

We had a fabulous time at Jacob's Lodge and would highly recommend this beautiful property.

There were 15 of us- 4 couples and 7 children children ranging in age from 6 to older teenagers. The property was easy to find and immaculate. The accommodation was really flexible with plenty of space for everyone to relax. We really appreciated the two separate living rooms although spent most time in the open plan kitchen dining living area. Adults, teenagers and little ones very much enjoyed the leisure suite and we spent lots of time here too. We have stayed in numerous holiday properties over the years and would say that this property ranks amongst the very best. Having never holidayed in this area we were really impressed with the beautiful Teesdale countryside. There were amazing views from the property and several fantastic walks straight from the front door. We particularly enjoyed the circular walk starting at Eggleston and taking in Romaldkirk and Mickleton before heading back to the house. The cooking facilities are very good but we also enjoyed a couple of meals out at The Crown in Mickleton and The Three Tuns in Eggleston - both were excellent. We would definitely consider a return visit to Jacobs Lodge and another chance to enjoy this fabulous property and stunning countryside!

Jacob's lodge was fabulous!

The hot tub etc were a huge hit. The rooms are decorated to a high standard and the living rooms were great areas. Loved it!
