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 Mill Byre is in a fabulous setting, the main accommodation is excellent for groups as it is open plan. It is well stocked in the kitchen and the interior decor and furnishings are really nice and comfy! The log burner was a lovely addition especially as it was winter when we stayed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I’ve no doubt we will return in the future.
Just spent our fifth holiday and second Christmas in Cheeseborough House and it never fails to disappoint ! The house is perfect. It is located in a quiet street but not far from the town with its shops, pubs and restaurants. Cheeseborough House is in a row of interesting and historic houses connected with the past milling industry. It is warm, comfortable and our ideal place for a relaxing break. As soon as you walk in you could be at home - it is so welcoming. There’s nothing pretentious about the place, it is the perfect home from home with everything you need for a truly memorable holiday ...more
