About this property

On two levels, this property offers upside down accommodation, taking advantage of the views of the surrounding countryside. Superbly converted, with a spacious feel, this property provides accommodation every visitor will enjoy. Note: Butterwick and Millstone can be offered together to form a single unit accommodating 10/12, with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. This is done by way of opening up a solid wood soundproof door between the two cottages, ensuring complete privacy when the units are taken separately, and a cosy atmosphere when taken together.

Please note that Property Reference 896 and 897 will sleep 12 as one unit.

Located in the York Dales, the pretty Teesdale village of Staindrop has long been associated with the fortunes of nearby Raby Castle. Open to the public, this monument is one of the grandest in England. Modified and extended over the centuries, the heart of the castle is medieval, boasting a walled garden in addition to a 200-acre deer park. The pretty village of Staindrop itself has many diverse shops, pubs and cafes, all set around its long village green. The popular market town of Barnard Castle is only five miles away and is home to the Bowes Museum in addition to its renowned castle and a wide range of shops and tea-rooms. The countryside surrounding Staindrop is excellent for walkers and cyclists, meaning that there is something for everybody in this fabulous region.

    The walk in shower is restricted movement due to space and im a average size person. The hot tap gets to boiling temperature a bit to quickly. Leave it on a high note good size kitchen

    A pleasant seating area outside and lots of parking. Two lovely bathrooms. Very quiet with just the farm noises and birds to wake up to. Very close to Barnard Castle for shopping and eating etc. Lost of dog walks nearby. On the downside: 1) There was no four-poster bed as advertised, which was one of the main reasons for booking the house. 2) The Washer/Dryer advertised is just a washing machine. 3) Whilst the Wi-Fi signal was strong with many repeaters, it was virtually impossible to connect to them and even if we could there was no internet. This was with our two laptops, two mobiles and my car. I think being in the country with copper ADSL and with so many people trying to use the Wi-Fi, and with so many repeaters, it was unusable and very slow. Fortunately, I had a Plan B, an old 4G router that I brought with us! 4) A folder in the house with useful local information would be good. I wish properties would correctly advise the facilities, it's surely not rocket science!

    It was central to what and where we intended to go and do. Very comfortable, especially the bed. The only niggle that we had was no access to a washing line. Highly recommended.
