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.
The Shepards hut was lovely we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful surroundings and beautifully presented, in the perfect area for us.
We didn't see the hosts but knew they were there if we needed them.
We've stayed in The Shepherds Hut before but this time brought some friends with us so had to stay in one of the cottages - The Byre is fabulous.
The Byre is so well thought out - our friends have decided their next house should be just like The Byre
We'll be back

Another lovely family holiday in Mill Granary. The house is spacious and well equipped for all ages. Lots of outside space with climbing frame and table tennis. The hot tub was popular in the evening.
