About this property
Mickleton 0.5 miles.
An immaculate Grade II listed, stone-built cottage, skilfully modernised to offer superb holiday accommodation. Furnished, equipped and decorated to a very high standard. The owners live in the nearby farmhouse and personally welcome visitors. The cottage is surrounded by spectacular Teesdale countryside and makes a magnificent base for exploring this unspoilt part of the Dales. The pretty village of Mickleton is only 10 minutes' walk away. Note: Westfield Cottage adjoins Ref. 1132 Garden Cottage and the properties can be booked together to accommodate a group of up to 9.
Situated in the heart of beautiful Teesdale is the small hamlet of Mickleton. Close to the villages of Romaldkirk and Middleton. This lovely little hamlet is within a few miles of the market town of Barnard Castle, making it an excellent base from which to explore the region. The village itself is a quaint cluster of houses which flanks the main street and offers a post office, village shop and two pubs. The Pennine and Teesdale Ways run alongside the village and provide excellent walking through beautiful countryside whilst the magnificent waterfalls at High Force are also worth visiting. The stunning countryside in this area also offers great opportunities for bird watching and cycling, making it an excellent vacation spot for those who love the great outdoors.

Very comfortable with a friendly . helpful hostess, who was happy to help but not intrusive. Would certainly stay there again.

There was everything we needed for a home-from-home, with a kind gift of cookies on our arrival. My only negative comment has to do with the creaky stairs, but I don't suppose anything can be done about that. Overall, a very nice holiday let.
