Hoodgill Barn is highly praised for its stunning location, cleanliness, and welcoming host. Guests enjoyed the beautiful views, peaceful setting, and the hot tub. The property is well-equipped and comfortable, providing a great base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. While there were minor suggestions for improvements, the overall experience was memorable and guests are keen to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean, with several reviews specifically mentioning the cleanliness as a positive aspect. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, close to pretty villages and stunning natural attractions. The views and proximity to walking routes contribute to the high score.
Guests found the cottage to be warm, comfortable, and spacious, with comfortable beds and plenty of space for groups. A few comments about limited lounge areas for larger parties slightly affect the score.
Facilities like the hot tub were highly appreciated, and the property was well-equipped. However, some guests mentioned a lack of crockery and issues with the hot tub jets, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
While some guests mentioned a welcome hamper and the provision of milk and tea, there were not enough references to consistently assess the level of thoughtfulness across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such amenities will be provided.
About this property
Middleton-in-Teesdale 3 miles. A stone-built, end of terrace cottage set on a hillside in a quiet rural location, close to the waterfalls of High Force and Middleton-in-Teesdale.

Set across three floors, the property retains much of its original character, mixed with modern fixtures and fittings, to provide a perfect place for friends or family to enjoy a relaxing break. The main entrance leads guests into the first sitting room. Set out around a cosy woodburning stove, this is a great place to cuddle up with a good read. The adjoining dining room is the ideal spot for gathering together to share a hearty evening meal before spreading out the maps to plan tomorrows excursions. A large orangery looks out past the front garden to the valley, providing a lovely place to relax and absorb the excellent sweeping views beyond. Sink into the bubbles after a busy day spent exploring, the perfect end to your day! With four bedrooms, the accommodation offers flexible sleeping arrangements, with the master bedroom boasting a fabulous en-suite facility and a further three bedrooms located in the attic providing a mixture of king-size double bedrooms and twin bedrooms. This cottage is situated in a lovely, quiet location and with very low light pollution, it is ideal for stargazing. The location of the cottage is wonderful, with the hamlet of Newbiggin close by, only a short walk bringing you to Low Force (where the movie 2017 was filmed), Gibsons Cave and Bowlees and just a short drive from the amenities of Middleton-in-Teesdale. Discover the historic town of Barnard Castle nearby, with its quaint cobbled streets, Victorian architecture, independent shops and antique centres. Also in the area is Raby Castle and deer park, Hamsterley Forest, the Bowes Museum and just a mile down the road is the stunning High Force waterfall of the River Tees. This superb cottage enjoys a great location with a little touch of luxury, perfect for your special holiday. PLEASE NOTE: The hot tub will be drained, cleaned and refilled in between each stay.
Nestling by the banks of the River Tees is the pretty Pennine village of Middleton-in-Teesdale. This bustling village offers a good range of shops, pubs and places to eat. This is superb walking country with high open moorland as well as pretty wooded valleys and the nearby waterfalls of High Force, Gibson's Cave and Cauldron Snout are amongst the most spectacular sights in the district.
