“What a wonderful week”
A thoroughly enjoyable week in a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable location free from the influence of Wi-Fi, did not use the laptop for the whole week, MARVELOUS! My wife and I together with our dog Barney have spent another thoroughly relaxing week in this idyllic location and will be returning again to this very special barn conversion.
The conversion of a traditional barn has been completed to an exceptionally high standard and has been undertaken in a most sympathetic manner to make the most of the original features and the space available. The owners are extremely welcoming, helpful and lovely to talk to. Bonuses are the donkeys Wilfred and Parkin and Rollo the new Labrador dog. A nice touch is the lovely orchard at the rear to sit in with a glass of wine and a good book or a pair of binoculars to watch the wildlife and even cook-up a barbeque.
The property is beautifully kept to a very high standard and is in a fantastic location at the end of the village green and only a short stroll away from a great pub/hotel/restaurant (The Rose and Crown).
Private parking with lots of space is good.
There are a number of walks virtually from the front gate of the property which in itself is a good base for exploring the immediate area, Teesdale, Durham, Cumbria, Lake District, Hadrian’s Wall and Holy Island on the North East Coast.
A visit to the local Church of St. Romald is well worth a visit.
Thoroughly recommend this cottage for singles or couples with or without a dog.
