“We received a very warm welcome far above any expectations.”

Lovely real fire, bacon, eggs, milk and an additional goodie basket! The cottage was clean, cosy and warm. The hospitality of the owners was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly stay there again and have had the best holiday.

- Miss Palmer, May 2019
“The owners were extremely helpful and friendly but not intrusive.”

The cottage was really comfortable and it was great having the wood burning fire in the evening. Feeding the little lambs was certainly a highlight of our weekend. We are planning to go back later in the year.

- Mr Jones, March 2019
“Had a lovely time staying in Willow Cottage, it was absolutely perfect for myself, my husband and 2 dogs.”

We were out all day and came back to a lit fire, and had a wonderful complimentary basket full of jams, biscuits and wine and also butter, bacon and eggs in the fridge. You don't need to take anything with you other than your clothes as they have everything you need. Definitely a 5 star rating

- Mrs Brind, March 2019
“We were made to feel very welcome and the attention to detail was lovely.”

We came home to a roaring fire each day, which was a very special treat and much appreciated. We would certainly return to this location and have already recommended 'Willow Cottage' to our family and friends.

- Mrs Robinson, February 2019
“The warm reception of the hosts and the beautiful setting of the cottage far exceeded our expectations.”

This was a last minute change in our holiday location due to unforeseen circumstances and both Ros and Dave did everything they could to make us comfortable. The farm yard and the private garden were exceptional .The cottage was lovely and warm,the welcome pack was like a Hamper even down to the complimentary bacon eggs and milk we received. I wish all holiday makers could experience this professional friendly cottage.

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.
