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.
We had 2,nights bought as a birthday present at The Shepherds Hut. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, the Hut is very comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing break! The location is great secluded but close to amenities. We will be back!
Three generations gathered to celebrate my 60th birthday. We all had an excellent time.
Mill Byre is large enough to comfortably accommodate seven adults and a baby. It is well equipped and beautifully furnished. With a crawling baby we were pleased with how well the floors had been cleaned before our arrival.
The views are spectacular. Cloudless night skies are something to behold. It is so quiet and peaceful.
We would all recommend Mill Byre and be keen to come for a return visit.
Fantastic stay at Mill Granary, house was described as a chill out house with a wow factor and that is completely true. Very comfortable, plenty of room, beds and sofas clean and cosy. Loads of outdoor space to tire the kids and grandchildren out in.
Cheeseborough House is perfect for 2 couples visiting the area. It is very comfortable and cosy, beautifully presented and clean. The extras in the kitchen and bathrooms were appreciated and the equipment is all good quality. Also ideally placed for walks into the town centre or out along the river in either direction to Egglestone Abbey or the castle. The courtyard is a lovely sunny area to sit all day and the Swifts in the evening made for some great entertainment! We could not fault this cottage. Highly recommended.
