“The accommodation is well suited to 3 generations and was comfortable.”

Guests coming to this venue need to be aware that there can be a strong smell ‘of farm country’

- Mrs Walker, October 2018

“Living less than an hour's drive from the cottage we hadn't planned to do much sightseeing, but for anyone not from the area the cottage provides an excellent base for Durham, Tyneside, Cumbria, Yorkshire and the coast.”

The cottage is comfortable and warm, with plenty of piping hot water. Didn't use the spa bath but the shower was brilliant, with good water pressure. The owners were friendly and helpful - on arrival it you can't get hold of them at the farmhouse or on landline, try the mobile number as they are likely to be out working on the farm. Agree with previous reviews about the strong smell, but it is a farm, after all, and we soon got used to it. Usual mismatch of pans, cutlery etc but enough to get by with for holiday catering. Would recommend and would certainly consider staying there again.

“Really great family holiday home.”

Wanted to visit the north and the Dales, relax, visit some well known places like Beamish, NRM Shildon, High Force, etc. and found much more was here to see. This was the perfect base, child friendly, (3 kids in our group ages 6 to 10), set in a beautiful situation, well fitted out cottage, we loved it. We all agreed that it would be nice to come back. Great service, great spot, we give it an a+.

“Most Enjoyable”

Surrounding area was very interesting. House was a very spacious and well appointed renovation. Very hot water on instant supply. Owners were very friendly. Negatives - the oven took a lot of understanding, as did the dishwasher, and the cow byre was too close. No smell inside the house but outside was quite often a bit smelly.

About the location

STAINDROP

Barnard Castle 5 miles; Durham 20 miles.

The pretty Teesdale village of Staindrop has always been closely associated with the fortunes of nearby Raby Castle and its owners. The Castle (open to the public) is one of the most grand in England. Enlarged and beautified over the centuries, the medieval heart remains and a walled garden and 200 acre deer park add to the splendour. Staindrop has many interesting shops, pubs and cafes set round its long village green. The popular market town of Barnard Castle is 5 miles away, with its castle, the Bowes Museum, plus of course its wide range of shops and tea rooms. Walkers will enjoy the many walks around Teesdale.
