On arrival we were greeted by Karen, shown around the cottage and she gave recommendations for places to visit and food options. Karen provided us with milk, cakes and a loaf of freshly baked bread, a lovely touch. All amenities were spot on, rooms were very spacious and ideal for 6 of us. The village of Mickleton was great, lots of nice pubs for food and drink. We had a great stay and would recommend to anyone!

The accommodation was fantastic with everything we needed and more! Karen was very welcoming and on hand to answer any queries. The welcome gifts and homemade bread were an added bonus. The area is stunning with walks from the cottage and a short drive to Barnard Castle. We also walked from Low Falls to High Falls. Would highly recommend this property and we hope to revisit again at some point.
