Just missing the ice for a G & T sitting outside in the sunshine. Fortunately the very large and very cold fridge had loads of room so bottles went in fridge easily. Both bed and settee too soft if you have a bad back but otherwise brilliant.

Real attention to detail which makes the place feel welcoming. Spotlessly clean throughout and with a great shower with heated towel rail and under floor heating for cooler days. Middleton in Teesdale is a lovely village, we enjoyed frequenting the local tea shops and Teesdale Hotel. Lots of scenic walks straight from the cottage as well. We would definitely book again.
