“Had an amazing time with my boyfriend and dog, Lui.”

We couldn’t recommend this place enough and also using Sykes Cottages to deal with. They were extremely helpful and even found me a better deal on other dates, giving me an option.

We couldn’t recommend this place enough and also using Sykes Cottages to deal with. They were extremely helpful and even found me a better deal on other dates, giving me an option. I will most certainly be returning to Willow Cottage and also using Sykes Cottages to book through any other holidays we will be going on. Thank you!!

Mrs Brookes October 2019

“We have just returned from a wonderful stay in Willow Cottage.”

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by the owners. The welcome pack was the best we have ever had a pleasant surprise after a long journey. The weather wasn't too kind but we managed to get out and about with the dogs. It was nice to come back at the end of the day to find David had made up the log burner ready to light. A great holiday very restful and peaceful and will definitely return.

“The owners Roslyn and David were so friendly and welcoming.”

They showed us round the cottage and the facilities, including the lovely garden, and provided us with lots of useful local information. The cottage was very comfortable and extremely well equipped- they had thought of everything! The welcome pack went down well, too.

“Just spent 10 days at Willow Cottage.”

Fantastic cottage, dog friendly, the owners Roz and David lovely couple always there if needed but also gave you space. Cottage part of the main house on a small working farm, no farm noises or smells , enjoyed sitting outside the cottage having a quiet drink looking at the views. Lovely welcome basket and fridge items on arrival. Would recommend this cottage to friends and families and would definitely book again.

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.

“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

“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.

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.
