Very comfy beds! Great hot tub and bar area and cosy lounge area with plenty of seating. The surroundings are beautiful and there is plenty to do in the area - we visited Barnard Castle, the Bowes Museum, did a really lovely walk to High Force (amazing waterfall) and a walk down the disused railway line just behind the house. There is also a little play park and small football field just to the back of the house - really great for kids. There is a pub just 2 minutes down the road but unfortunately we werenât able to go (we have 2 small kids) but it looks very nice and I read good things about their takeaway pizza in the house guest book. Peter was a really lovely host - he met us on arrival and showed us how the hot tub works etc. there was a lovely welcome hamper waiting for us also! Peter is from the area and so is very knowledgable about where to go/ best parking etc. Overall we had a really wonderful stay and are thinking about returning at some point with a different group x

Pub just over the road. Stairs steep so might be tricky for elderly guests. Two suggestions - shower mat (my mother nervous without one) & extra chopping boards - there were a lot of us to cook for!
