I am a recently retired social care manager for a national children's charity. I loved my work with children and families but hosting my holiday cottage is great fun. I get to meet some wonderful people and share my love of walking and enjoyment of the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside. We live in the cottage next door, although we are happy to leave you to relax and enjoy the cottage we are always available for any assistance, supplies for the cottage or advice regarding the local area.

The house is situated in a friendly small village in an area of outstanding beauty, hill walking or cycling is easy straight from the cottage. It is a peaceful, quiet village with very little through traffic. You can park nearby on a large grassed area for free only a minutes walk from the cottage, it is possible to pull up outside the cottage to unload your bags if you wish. Although there is no shop in the village, within a 10 minute drive there are wonderful farm shops, which sell all the produce you will need for your stay. The markets towns of Richmond and Barnard Castle are only a 15 minute drive away and have supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and a variety of interesting independent shops. The cottage is in a small village only 15 minutes from A1(M), simply exit at Scotch Corner on to the A66. Car is the easiest way to get to the village and access the towns and places of interest in the area during your stay. The nearest train station is in Darlington, there is however no direct bus from there to the village. There are buses from Darlington to Richmond or Barnard Castle, from there a further limited bus route runs through the village.
