    "Absolutely fabulous stay in a lovely cottage."

    We were grateful for the bread and milk which was left and after arriving at 11pm was most welcome. The hosts were very accommodating during our stay ensuring we had all we needed to put together an important evening we had planned. They couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect. The cottage is in a great location allowing for lots of activities which we took advantage of. Thoroughly recommend this property and will hopefully return again next year.

    Thank you so much for the great review. We are very happy to assist our guests to have a fulfilling holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back next year Property Owner

    "Amazing cottage,everything and more included ."

    It was snowing when we arrived so the log burmer was lovely and when the under floor heating and radiators kicked in ...so cosy.Welcome pack,tea,coffee sugar toiletries and cleaning products were very much appreciated. The only reason it didn't get a 10 was the raised garden wasn't enclosed .We dragged a cushion store over the top of the steps to stop our 2 goldens getting out .A gate would be ideal as we think someone else was using it,as several times we picked up poo that was not ours and it would have been nice to let Albie and Arfa off lead. It was dark at 4.30 the week we were there so a outside light that you could switch on and off would have been good as the steps up to the garden were quote steep and the flood light only lasted 5 seconds at a time so we were constantly waving our arms to see ....We bought a torch in the end.We would definatly recommend it and hope to return x Cheers Julieann and Duncan Mckinnon .

    "This was without a doubt the best cottage we have stayed in."

    There are beautiful views from the cottage itself. Comfortably furnished with a very well equipped kitchen. The area has so much to offer. Castles, forest walks and beautiful waterfalls all with a short ride. The town (Barnard Castle), has a large variety of stores with several antique shops, to enhance your stay is just a five minute drive away. The owners provided us with a thoughtful supply of food upon arrival. The cottage was very tastefully decorated for Christmas season. Their support and care throughout our stay was second to none. We will definitely make a return tom the cottage in due course.

    "We have just returned from a 4 night stay at this beautiful, very well maintained cottage, with a lovely secure garden for our dogs and grandchildren."

    The cottage was equipped with everything & more and the welcome items were very useful! We met the owners and they gave us a very friendly welcome. There was no issue from anyone regarding parking outside the cottage and we were always able to park there. It's a big YES from us and we hope to return at some point in the future - many thanks to the owners :-)

    Thank you so much for the feedback. So pleased you found Falcus Cottage well equipped & that the dogs and grandchildren could enjoy the secure garden space. Pleased there was no issues with parking although parking is on ‘the street’ there is plenty of room. We look forward to welcoming you back ; hopefully in the near future. Property Owner

    "Very cosy and comfortable cottage."

    Well equipped but larger towels needed please and only 1 bedside cabinet in main bedroom. Great shower downstairs, bath is beautiful but we didnt find very practical, given amount of water needed and time to fill, as well as tricky getting out! Very comfortable beds for great nights sleep and sofas in lounge to relax on in front of tv. Quiet location. Liked having the two sitting areas. Couldn't see compost bin in kitchen mentioned in the folder or doggie items except for 2 blankets for chairs, but not a big issue for us. We had no problem with parking outside. No facilities in the village but 50 minute casual walk into Barnard Castle. An OS map for local footpaths would have been useful. Would definitely return as great base to explore this beautiful part of the world from and return to relax and unwind.

    "We all 5 adults and two dogs had a wonderful stay at Falcus cottage, everything was well thought of."

    A very well equipped kitchen. We had forgotten our dogs bowls and were pleased to find some in the kitchen. The beds and quilts were comfortable and cosy as was the sofas. Loved the underfloor heating in the dining room. Seeing the stars through the skylights was a highlight for us. A perfect place to stay for exploring the North Pennines, Barnard castle is also a lovely town with lots of shops. Always good to find a butchers. Our only niggle was the towels need to be bigger and it was very difficult to park outside, with one rude neighbour telling us not to park outside her house and to park further up. We would definitely stay again

    "Gorgeous unique cottage in a beautiful, friendly location which is quiet, yet within easy distance of places of interest and amenities."

    Parking is on the road… usually in front of the cottage and there is a safe dog friendly garden at the back. Falcus House is very clean, spacious and welcoming with comfy sofas and snuggly cushions, a kitchen which is generously stocked with all you need to rustle up a meal to eat in the dining room, while upstairs we found sumptuous comfortable beds and a huge bathroom. Having a downstairs shower-room is a plus and very handy. In fact this cottage is a real gem which I’m very glad we found .

    "We had an absolutely wonderful stay."

    The information pack we received prior to arriving was brilliant. The cottage itself was gorgeous, had everything you needed and more, plus some surprise goodies on arrival. The owners have thought of everything and the little details and extras made the stay so pleasurable. There is only 1 tiny thing I would suggest: bigger towels. I couldn’t wrap the towel around me, and with a father-in-law in the house it was a bit restrictive and felt I had to dress and undress in the bathroom. However the towels you did have were so soft a fluffy, they felt so luxurious. All 3 bedrooms are spacious and have very comfy beds. The living space downstairs was cosy and comfortable and the garden was lovely. The kitchen was so well equipped and had everything and even more than I have at home! There is a little park just at the end of the road which was a highlight for our daughter as we could easily pop to it in the morning and evening. Overall it was a wonderful stay in a fabulous cottage, the owners have thought of everything and should be really proud. We would highly recommend Falcus cottage.

    "Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!"

    We stayed there to celebrate New Year’s Eve with a group of 5 and 2 dogs and had the most amazing time. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need to make a fantastic meal. The fireplace was adding extra coziness and the hosts were so amazing and welcoming - we even found two doggies Christmas crackers (that we didn’t know even exist:). The location is brilliant, we specifically came there for a hike and if you drive it is an easy access to Lake District and other wonderful destinations for epic walks and adventures. Highly recommend - you would really enjoy it!

    "Falcus cottage was clean and cosy with everything you could possibly want and need (it even had a teapot!"

    ). Our party ages ranged from 0 -70 + dog and all were well catered for. Central heating was very efficient, though it was warm weather for October, and the cottage kept the heat in well. I am told, all the beds were comfortable with very good pillows. The property is very well situated for exploring the area, we had great days out at Raby Castle, Low and high force waterfalls, Barnard itself, and good walks from Middleton and Staindrop. I would recommend taking an Ordinance survey map of the area if you are intending to walk as there are so many paths to choose from. Also, for autumn and winter evenings perhaps take some board games and books with you. There are plenty of cafes and eating establishments in the area and can recommend the cafe at the theatre in 'Barney' and the Old Well Inn for Sunday lunch. All in all a good time was had by everyone and who knows, we may yet be back. Thank you.

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.
