“Durham” Lovely spacious accommodation finished to a high standard friendly host I would recommend this property . only down side was road noise but we knew about that when we booked . good location lots to do friendly host . I would go again

“Easter Holiday” We spent a few days with family (3 grandchildren) lots of space , easy with the dog and good play area in the front garden. Warm and very cosy to return to. Loved it.

“Enjoyed our stay.” Cosy comfortable cottage. Very noisy early morning because of farm machinery. It didn't bother us but I think it could cause problems with others who are not used to farm life! Our Westie was attacked by two dogs from the farm opposite which was a bit upsetting. But on the whole a very good experience.

“very relaxing but near villiage” Loved this cottage was spotless. plenty room for kids to play outside, lovely view when sitting at patio. Bedrooms smashing bed to big l couldn,t kick my husband when he was snoring. will be back felt to relaxed when l got home

“the perfect place to chill out.:” Our 3rd visit and it won't be the last. Love this secluded cottage and the views. A two minute walk down the field and you are on the Pennine Way along the river Tees with all it's splendour of low and high force. To watch the salmon leaping up low force in October is a magnificent sight not to be missed. If you love a peaceful relaxing holiday, then this is the place.

“A cottage with the most fantastic view.” The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. We moved the dining table in the kitchen to take better advantage of the views over the reservoir and hillside. The lounge was comfortable and the bedroom was fine, except for the small doorway which is fine if you are under 5 feet tall.

“Lovely cottage” We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is nicely furnished, has lovely views and the owners are very friendly and helpful. It's a great location for exploring Yorkshire and County Durham.

“Neat little place” Great views from living area upstairs. Good setup internally. Really would like to use in summer when can make best use of garden. Only one little thing for us was the boiler was right by your head in bed, so sleeping for me was an issue. For anyone who sleeps lightly this might be an issue. Otherwise fab!!

“We were only there for two days it was a lovely rest.” The cottage was well stocked with all you would ever need. The bedrooms were of a high standered, as the bathrooms were. Very clean. There was someone there to meet us and show us the cottage facilitys.

“Wonderful walkers retreat” We took our three kids to this cottage for half-term. It was so cosy and had great accommodation. We walked up and down the Tees Valley way and railway, doing most of the Cleveland Way between Cauldron Snout and Barnard Castle. It was great to walk from the door. High and Low Force are great as is the Bowes Museum with its silver mechanical swan. The local pubs (Rose in in Mickleton and Rose and Crown in Romaldkirk) were wonderful. What a wonderful off the track spot. The hosts are very kind. We loved how quiet it was. We waited for clear nights for the amazing stars which was our only disappointment.

“Really great family holiday home.” Wanted to visit the north and the Dales, relax, visit some well known places like Beamish, NRM Shildon, High Force, etc. and found much more was here to see. This was the perfect base, child friendly, (3 kids in our group ages 6 to 10), set in a beautiful situation, well fitted out cottage, we loved it. We all agreed that it would be nice to come back. Great service, great spot, we give it an a+.

“Excellent Cottage!” Simply loved it. Excellent cottage in a great location, and very convenient for Middleton's shops. And Middleton itself was a great base for exploring the surrounding area.

“Enjoyable and friendly place to holiday” The cottage was very well decorated and the owner has included all the things you need to make your holiday a relaxing experience. We would recommend Owl Cottage to anyone looking for a nice relaxing break. Short walk to the village, nice places to eat and drink and the locals make you feel very welcome, including your dog if you take one. Excellent places to visit which are a short drive away.

“Delightful cottage” We were made to feel welcome to Garden Cottage by the very helpful owner. The cottage is delightful and the area is lovely, not busy and not 'touristy'. Bar/Restaurant in village is excellent and would highly recommend. The enclosed garden is great for dogs as you can open the door and be sure they are safe to wander around. Would love to go back as we did enjoy it

“our best cottage holiday ever.” Rose cottage is the perfect holiday destination.Lovely village setting,gorgeous secluded garden and so peaceful. Lis, the owner made us feel really welcome and we had a great week. Hoping to visit again this year.
