    “We absolutely loved every moment.”

    The hosts were so welcoming and friendly, the freebies and welcome treats were really thoughtful. The hot tub was new to us, but the host took the time to show us how to best use and was always available for any questions. The cabin was so clean and cosy, the wood burner was in use almost every night and really makes the whole thing a wonderful and private experience to relax and enjoy the space and quiet. Our dog loved it too! We will definitly be back!

About the location

STAINDROP

Barnard Castle 5 miles; Durham 20 miles.

The pretty Teesdale village of Staindrop has always been closely associated with the fortunes of nearby Raby Castle and its owners. The Castle (open to the public) is one of the grandest in England. Enlarged and beautified over the centuries, the medieval heart remains and a walled garden and 200-acre deer park add to the splendour. Staindrop has a well-stocked general store, a pub and a coffee shop, set around the village green. The popular market town of Barnard Castle is 5 miles away, with its castle, the Bowes Museum, plus of course its wide range of shops and tea rooms. Walkers will enjoy the many walks around Teesdale.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
