This was the last stay in our 10 week English Countryside adventure, having stayed in cottages in the Bath area in SW England and in Shropshire, south of Shrewsbury in the Midlands/Wales area. I was "stationed" the Mayfair area of London in the 70's with the US Navy, and made numerous trips throughout Great Britain back then. Spending an extended time in Britain was a bucket list trip, made possible by having just retired in December, 2025. It couldn't have ended on a better note. Caroline Cottage was the perfect location to visit Yorkshire, the Lake District, Northern England and Scotland, and served us well for our three week stay. Romaldkirk was the best village we stayed in, with a small, local pub adjacent to the cottage, and a very nice inn and restaurant just around the corner. Barnard Castle, just minutes away had all the provisions one needs for a long stay, and the town was really great. The cottage had all the comfort and amenities, and Gillian and Paul were quick to offer whatever additional items we might need, they were the perfect hosts. Thank you, Gillian and Paul for making this the most memorable stay.

Owner was very helpful

The property was perfect. It had everything we wanted. And what a perfect location from which to visit Northumbria, North Yorkshire, Durham Coast, and the Dales. We visited them All. Teesdale is beautiful, and Caroline Cottage was perfect.

Very well equipped cottage in a beautiful village complete with village green, parish church and hotel. Cottage was spacious and comfortable.
