About this property
A delightful little detached cottage situated in the pretty Teesdale hamlet of Holwick. Created from the skilful conversion of an old stone barn which has also been used as the village reading room. The accommodation is upside down to take advantage of the views of the Holwick fells and beyond. Equipped, furnished and decorated to a high standard. A perfect place to relax and unwind. The owners live nearby and personally welcome visitors.
Situated at the end of a no-through-road in the heart of beautiful, unspoiled Teesdale, the village of Holwick is a lovely, peaceful place ideal for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The village is well served by local amenities and has a pub that serves food as well as a farm-butcher's shop with café situated on the owner's farm. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the surrounding region is a paradise for walkers and lovers of country life. Nearby, and within walking distance, is the magnificent waterfall of High Force whilst just a short distance away the Pennine Way passes close by. Middleton, Mickleton and Romaldkirk are wonderful picturesque villages in the near vicinity, whilst the ancient market town of Barnard Castle is well worth a visit.

Alan
Cooker hood lights didn't work and filters greasy to the touch, bathroom extractor fan doesnt work, shaver light bulb doesnt work, fridge is much too small and has a large freezer which for short stays isn't needed. The bed was very comfortable and ultra clean. The armchairs in the living room are exceptional and of super quality.

It is comfortable, well equipped and has the most amazing views. The location of the property is superb for walking, there are wonderful waterfalls to walk to from the property, or you can drive and park closer for that particular walk. You can hill walk, the views are incredible. What a superb place to holiday! The lodge owner gave us the warmest of welcomes and was very lovely to chat with. We would definitely stay here again.

Met by the very friendly owner who gave us plenty of ideas for walks and visits. We saw several waterfalls and were amazed by the sheer peace, tranquillity and beauty of our surroundings. So many birds, some we had never seen before. Watching the sheep and cows coming and going ....Will be back next year.
