Stayed for 5 nights, very good lodge, only 5 minute drive to Barnard Castle, up a mile long private drive, through couple of gates, very quiet, apart from few lambs and the odd pheasant shouting. Very comfortable inside, good shower. Plenty logs for wood burner, says heating controlled from bedroom, but main control is in kitchen. States that there is a coffee machine, but it’s just a cafetière. Nice walks with dog down road/track, into wood. Very easy to miss entrance on road. Main gates are automatic just drive up to them.
