"This is a charming cottage which of all the cottages we have hired previously has suited us the best."
It's compact and yet there is plenty of room for two. There are magazines, books,and dads plus tv and the internet although that can be a little eccentric! The beds are very comfortable and the shower room not the least cramped. The host left a lovely welcome pack that included a bottle of Prosecco which went down very well when we celebrated our wedding anniversary during our holiday. We particularly enjoyed watching the antics of the bunnies and coots in the field in front of Curlew cottage. The host also lent me some pieces of disability equipment which made my stay easier as well as the use of a dining room chair with arms. My only proviso and it is a really picky thing - is that the carpet in the bedroom needs the wearing of socks or slippers as it is rather scratchy to sensitive feet like mine!
Thank you Elizabeth, your feedback is appreciated. The floor covering in the bedroom is the result of a deliberate decision when we carpeted elsewhere. It was because, after enquiries with guests we were told that it was easier to manoeuvre a wheelchair on that covering rather than on a pile carpet with underlay. Property Owner

"This is probably the most relaxing small cottage we have stayed in."
The area is so peaceful with stunning views and pristine villages. We talked about whether we would stay in curlew cottage again and agreed we would. Which is a first for us.

"A fabulous cottage, well equipped, gorgeous setting, lovely quiet location that is close to Durham, Yorkshire and Northumberland attractions."
Owner left a generous welcome pack of coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits and prosecco. Beds were extremely comfortable, shower powerful. Enclosed front patio area with seating area and good weather meant we could dine alfresco in the evening (the patio is a sun trap). A pool at the side of the cottage is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the peacefulness. Visitors book includes many return visits by clients and we will also return for a visit. Photographs do not do the cottage justice. This is definitely a 5 star stay.

"We would like to thank Rob for making us feel so welcome and checking in that all was OK."
Also, the welcome basket was the most generous we have received anywhere in around 10 years of staying in holiday cottages. Curlew Cottage was a lovely little Easter retreat for us and we appreciated it very much indeed. We hope to return!

"Another fantastic stay at Hauxwell Grange Cottages following a week in the Stone Byre a few years back."
The cottage was similarly cosy, comfortable and fantastically well appointed. There's no doubt at all that an awful lot of thought has gone into what might be useful/helpful in making a relaxing and super-comfortable stay and the place lacks for nothing. Quite the opposite in fact - some of the little touches - fresh flowers on the window ledge in the Dining Area (in January!) for instance ; incredibly generous basket of useful, well-considered items in the welcome basket - are an unexpected joy. I loved staying this time just as much as last and very much hope to return to this haven again in the not too distant future.

Just perfect for 2 people. Clean, warm, comfortable and had everything you needed. A lovely welcome pack and a warm welcome note. Afraid did not meet the owner. We had a bit of trouble with the water not draining from the shower and loo, but that sorted itself out. Would certainly stay again, and would recommend to anyone who wantd to stay near Durham.

"The cottage was clean everything you need is supplied the beds were too soft the chairs are not good for relaxing you can't sit properly in bucket chairs shower a good step up to get in ."
Did not like the cooker as the rings did not cool off quick.also the owners who were on site never came to see if we were ok at any time we just gotthe key I from the box on the wall and left the key on table on leaving so disapointed all round
I am saddened and confused by this feedback. She says here that the cottage was clean and everything that you needed was supplied, but then gave cleanliness 50% and scored down for everything.? There are indeed two bucket chairs and also an upholstered two seater settee. The step into the shower is 9 inches and there is a grab handle inside. A stool can be provided on request. She must think that I am the gardener. I was working in the garden when they arrived and I went to say hello and make sure that they had the key, offered to help bring things down from the car and said to get in touch with me if necessary at any time. It has always been our policy not to intrude when guests are here. We are always ready to respond to queries or problems. To quote their entry in our visitors' book: "Nice cottage. Well equiped. Would have been nice to meet the owners. PS. Thanks for the extras very much appreciated." Property Owner

Heating is generous in colder weather. It is small but extremely well thought out and easy to get around. It is in a quiet, pretty location and is an ideal base for walking, bird watching or general sight seeing. Swaledale is close by and Barnard Castle, a friendly little town is a 5min drive away.

"(To the owner: We omitted to write in the visitors book so please feel free to copy these comments to it)."
We had a pleasant and comfortable stay in Curlew Cottage and the owner, Rob, did everything he could to make our stay a good one. Several adjustments were made to accommodate our limited mobility. A lovely welcome basket, wine, fresh flowers and an anniversary card awaited us, which was a really thoughtful touch. The kitchen equipment was modern and good quality, the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of DVDs, books and guides. A highlight was the colourful and well designed gardens and pond area with lovely open meadow views. Rob’s late wifeVal and their grandson Max created the gardens with love and imagination. A bonus was speaking with Rob who is knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. The cottage is only a few miles from the fascinating Bowes Museum with lovely gardens and a good cafe and about 15 mins from Raby Castle with beautiful walks in the grounds. We would be happy to return if we visited this area again.

"The Cottage is in a lovely peaceful situation its within easy distance to supermarkets and shops in Barnard Castle."
The standard in the cottage is very high everything you needed was there, a very cosy cottage. We didn’t light the wood burner but it was laid and there was plenty of coal if needed. Beds were very comfortable and we slept with no problems. Loved the little pond garden area which can be closed if children are staying. Very easy to visit lots of places with many beautiful villages in the area. No hesitation in recommending the cottage.

Books and dvd’s for if you want to cabin up on a wet day, and for those that need it great WiFi. It is well laid out with space to move constant and ample hot water. The hosts are very welcoming with a lovely basket of essentials and they even gritted from the door to the car park which for me was very much appreciated as I was on walking sticks. They even supplied aids for the bathroom and shower if needed. Curlew cottage is only a short drive from Barnard Castle which is a nice market town with everything you would need and some lovely walks

Although it’s a very old cottage, it was warm and cosy and has been beautifully refurbished and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a log-burning fire. The welcome pack and fresh flowers were a pleasant surprise. It was well situated only a couple of miles from the town of Barnard Castle, where there is a fair-sized supermarket and many other smaller shops. Curlew Cottage has a lovely atmosphere and, despite the weather not really being suitable for walking, I very much enjoyed my stay here. The owners are delightful, generous people and always ready to help out with anything you need. Looking forward to returning one day, hopefully in the not too distant future.

We briefly met one of the proprietors from a distance as per COVID and he apologised for that and said they normally welcome their guests personally. Bonus: a complementary box of goodies with Prosecco and fresh pink roses. We will be back!

Where you’ll be staying
BARNARD CASTLE
Staindrop 6 miles; Richmond 13 miles; Darlington 16 miles; Durham 20 miles.
The market town of Barnard Castle is situated in the unspoilt countryside of Teesdale in County Durham. It stands on the site of an ancient Roman fort which crosses the river. The medieval ruins of the castle still tower over the river and are well worth a visit. Known affectionately as 'Barney’ by residents and visitors alike, the town boasts cobble streets, yards and back lanes, which were first laid out in the 12th century. The nearby Bowes Museum is well worth a visit and a wonderful way to spend a day wandering around this beautiful building and experiencing the fascinating exhibitions. Beautiful walking country is right on the doorstep of this lovely market town, with woodland walks and cycle routes and the Lake District, the Pennine and Teesdale Ways, and the River Tees and magnificent waterfalls at High Force are all within easy reach.
