Our self catering Holiday Cottages are set in beautiful rolling unspoilt countryside in Lower Teesdale on the Durham/Yorkshire border. Conveniently situated within easy reach of Northern England's most beautiful scenery and historic sites, including the North Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, Durham Cathedral, Barnard Castle, Richmond, Hadrians Wall, Newcastle and the Lakes. Locally there is an abundance of walking and cycling routes through peaceful lanes and quiet limewashed hamlets with everything from a Michelin-starred restaurant, to welcoming local pubs, restaurants, farm shops and cafes.
Mill Granary and Mill Byre are two luxuriously appointed stone built 18th century converted barns, sleeping eight and seven guests, these are separated by open fields and a wild flower meadow teeming with wildlife. They are great for family gatherings and celebrations.
Our village property is 16th century Church Cottage which can sleep four guests. It occupies an idyllic setting on the quiet green in the historic village of Gainford.
Cheeseborough House is our jewel in Barnard Castle, a 19th century grade two-listed town house within walking distance of Bowes Museum, shops and restaurants, sleeping four guests.
Also a stunning Shepherds Hut with a chic interior lovingly created for you to enjoy. A perfect retreat for two.
Dogs are welcome to stay in the Mill Byre and Mill Granary.
Had a lovely 2 night stay. Everything you could need and all good quality, was spotless, - I have been to a lot of lodge holidays lately that were handed over dirty so it was lovely to see someone can do it properly! The dog loved pottering around and was easy to get to Raby castle, farm shops and the pub - recommendations were great - we went to the spotted dog the first night. The outside area was so perfect to sit out in even when it was slightly rainy. Hopefully will be back one day!
Wir warten dort als Großfamilie mit Großeltern, Eltern und Enkel. Wunderbar Lage mitten in der Nordenglischen wunderschönen Landschaft. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen, es ist alles da was man braucht, auch wenn man per Flieger anreist. Alles sehr gepflegt, super sauber und mit Liebe gestaltet. Wir waren wirklich sehr begeistert. Schade das wir die Besitzer nicht kennen lernen durften.
Our first impression on arrival was that the cottage was a little smaller than the pitches make it out to be. The garden is a little small as are the windows in the lounge which means it's quite dark and the lights provided don't do very much to lighten it.
on the plus side the beds are extremely comfortable and the shower and bathrooms are wonderful. Location wise it was excellent I enjoyed a walk every evening up to the castle and back. I think this place has great potential if it was just a little better lit and I think it's probably about time to replace the settees as they are very low...more
