Location perfect for walking. Could get to it on a bus route.

Lovely decorated compact cosy cottage a few minutes walk from centre of Middleton in Teesdale.

Lack of private outdoor space front area is an open space shared with other accommodations.

Cottage is hidden away from the main village thoroughfare and lovely and quiet. Access to the front door by car is challenging and our host provided good advice, so suss it out on foot before tackling the tight corners down the alleyway. It’s a 'one up, one down’ cottage but is extremely well equipped. The kitchenette is a small one-person galley, but with good quality dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster and plenty of crockery and cutlery. When self-catering, we invariably take some back-up utensils, having been caught out with omissions: not so this time and we appreciated the unexpected welcome basket of goodies. Upstairs the double bed is of a generous size and there’s adequate storage. The shower room is spacious; the shower itself is excellent and the toiletries most welcome. Our host was very helpful and welcoming and we look forward to a return visit. The house apart, there are lovely river, waterfall and hill walks to enjoy.

Nothing to dislike at all. The duvet was a shade too warm but that’s more an observation than a complaint. Our whole experience was extremely positive.

Spacious bedroom with plenty of storage. Very comfy bed. Bathroom very clean with a great shower. Lovely welcome basket. Great location. Cosy and clean. Lovely log fire.

Kitchen was a little cramped, but did have good quality appliances.
