About this property
An early 18th century, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, situated on the outskirts of the delightful village of Middleton-in-Teesdale, just 10 miles from Barnard Castle. Boasting outstanding views of the surrounding fells, West House is full of charm and character, offering a quaint sitting room with cosy woodburning stove, a separate dining room and a spacious rear garden, ideal for sitting out and enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the area. This is a good base for those wishing to experience village life with all the local shops, pubs and village walks just a short stroll from the property, whilst the nearby market town of Barnard Castle with its cobbled streets and quaint lanes attracts visitors all year round. With the Northern Dales waiting to be discovered slightly further afield, this lovely cottage is ideal for family and friends to get away from it all!
Set in an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' in the heart of Teesdale, the pretty Pennine village of Middleton-In-Teesdale is perched on the riverbank of the beautiful Tees Valley. With a wide range of shops, pubs and places to eat, this lovely little settlement boasts a range of amenities. The surrounding countryside is a great place for walkers with pretty wooded valleys and high open moorland as well as the incredible waterfalls of High Force and Cauldron Snout, regarded as some of the most spectacular sights in the district. Barnard Castle, a lovely market town, is also close by and offers a huge range of facilities and activities.

Sally Anne checked in on our first evening to make sure we had everything we needed, including information on walks in and around the area. All cafes, pubs and restaurants within a 10 minute stroll into the village. We had a very relaxing stay, a nice little get away from our busy lifestyles.

We were extremely comfortable, cosy and warm and, given that the weather largely curtailed our walking plans, the birds at the feeder kept us well entertained! Sally Ann, the owner provided a generous welcome hamper at the start, and very kindly checked up on us during the week. West House is a beautiful cottage in a stunning location, well worthy of 5 stars and we fully intend to return.

It was clean, welcoming and very cosy. The host kindly left a welcome pack of milk, cordial and biscuits. The views from the living room were stunning. We stayed in autumn and had some lovely sunny days. There is plenty of walking and do in the immediate area and further afield. We will certainly be returning next year.
