About this property
A beautiful cottage located in the heart of Middleton-in-Teesdale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with plenty of waterfalls and walking country to enjoy. Immediately adjacent to Hudeshope Beck, Oak Cottage is the perfect property for a relaxing break, as the gentle sounds of running water can be heard from the cottage. Whether you are bringing along the family, or spending some quality time amongst friends, Oak Cottage is a one-of-a-kind retreat not to be missed. Stone built, and close to the river, you will be welcomed by a kitchen/diner which houses a breakfast bar, all with the added warmth of underfloor heating and natural lighting. There is a lounge to cosy up in after a long day, sumptuous sofas and a woodburning stove create a lovely atmosphere for relaxing with your favourite movie on play. Follow the quirky steps and exposed stonework to the next floor, where you will discover a snug featuring a selection of books, and floor to ceiling windows. Perfect for some time away from it all, whilst the children enjoy the warm and homely games room. You will be spoilt for choice between the bedrooms on offer; all are presented to the highest of standards, with their very own TV and original beams. The master suite is an excellent addition to the cottage, together with an en-suite shower room, matching that of a hotel quality. A wonderful family bathroom finishes the properties interior.

The cottage is beautiful, well appointed and everything has clearly been completed to a very high standard. Equipment provided is excellent. We plan to come again soon.

Perfect for our family Xmas together. Very clean and comfortable / plenty of space and although we didnât use the games / reading room Iâm sure itâs a welcome addition for larger families. Thank you for the excellent WiFi which my daughters couldnât do without ;) Cottage had everything we needed for our stay, the kitchen is superbly equipped ( although the bin is very small for a group ) minor issue which in no way negatively impacted our holiday. Lovely little town with plenty of essential shops / cafes / eateries and everyone was so friendly. Located next to some good dog walks which we used a lot ⦠a beautiful river walk and not far from amazing waterfalls. Owners have thought of everything and the large welcome basket on arrival was a pleasant surprise Thank you. Communication from the owner was great / would highly recommend this property if you are thinking of visiting this area ⦠Iâm sure itâs even more beautiful in the height of summer.

Very well equipped by the owners (they really do seem to have thought of everything!) comfortable, and really good value. Great for the dog. Although there is no garden, which was the biggest drawback for us when we were considering booking, this mattered less at this time of year and in any case we found the advantages of the cottage far outweighed that as an issue. There are so many walks on the doorstep which were great for the dog. The cottage itself is in a very quiet location yet you are right in Middleton-in-Teesdale which we really enjoyed. Middleton is a lovely, friendly place set in what must be one of the most dramatic, beautiful and yet comparatively little know areas. You are close to High Force waterfall and Cauldron Snout in Teesdale, with Weardale not far and Barnard Castle just down the road. We would certainly recommend and look forward to returning.
