“Good facilities spacious and lovely play area for children.”

Location is superb and lots of things to do in the area for children of all ages.We would have liked to have had an out door table to go with the chairs as the weather was very hot. The accommodation was also too hot upstairs as only two small windows which we had to keep open day and night.Unfortunately the smell from the cowsheds-which are directly behind the cottage was overwhelming and the cows were very vocal on several nights which kept us awake, not good when you are driving especially with two small children. Perhaps this is a one off due to weather but it appears that the cows are housed in the sheds all the time and it would be good to warn potential hirers. I live in the country side so it is not a complaint from a townie

“Idea for a family get together.”

Although location was a bit more remote than first expected.The facilities were ideal for our needs plenty room for 5 adults 2 children and a baby. Kids were all impressed with the climbing frame and all the toys provided. Loved the spacious living area.

“The history and quirkiness of the cottage really suited us.”

The owner was very pleasant and happy to describe the farm and the area which was beautiful. With our friends from France we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Thank you.

“Easter Escape”

We had a very warm welcome and early check in. There were two boxes of age appropriate toys for our baby and superb level of equipment through out. The en-suite sauna was definitely an added treat for me!! Lovely out door play equipment for the children and high level of comfort and thoughtfulness in everything. Would look to come and stay again and have recommended it already. The added bonus of being in a Tesco delivering are made this a really easy and relaxing holiday. The beautiful market Town of Barnard Castle is only 10 mins drive away, easy access to Darlington, and some fantastic scenery on your door step!

“Delightful”

very nice owner great cottage, and great situation. very well equipt, loved the dish washer and sauna. the children loved playing in the wonderful adventure garden, Great location hard to choose what we liked most, but adored Barnard Castle a big hit with my 2 young grandsons.Plenty of places to explore and good places to eat, so plan to go back on the downside, felt the shower could have been cleaner but soon sorted that. some wonderful memories, thank you.

“Quiet location. Convenient for seeing the area.”

Very warm, comfortable large property which is well equipped. Since its initial renovation some parts of the property are beginning to look tired and in need of some TLC. A good spruce up and some minor maintenance work would do the trick. We enjoyed our stay. Very friendly owners.

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.
