My children thought it was the best cottage in the world and they wanted to live there forever! Perfect location, excellent facilities. All we could ask for and the weather was fabulous.
United KingdomWe loved the table and benches outside the property to sit out on. A bonus was that there was also a parasol there for the sun.The cottage itself was in reality better than the photo's we'd seen.
United KingdomThe location of the cottage was excellent, with a lovely seating area outside in the shared courtyard area. The property was very clean, with thought having also gone into issues around Covid risk. It was excellent value for money, and well equipped. The main double bed wasn't the most comfortable though I still slept well. It was a very relaxing stay, and I would definitely return. The hosts were very helpful and made sure we were are of how to contact them should there have been any issues arise, but we had no need to do this.
United KingdomVery central to the Town for pubs and shops and access to lovely walks.
United KingdomThe location was central which was very convenient for accessing take-away and restaurant food. The area is attractive, very typical of a Teesdale village, with easy access to the countryside. This was ideal for our walking holiday. We had very friendly, helpful communication with Anne by telephone and in person. The house was attractively decorated, and considering the facilities had been pared down because of Covid-19 requirements, we were well catered for. We had good sleeps after our walks in the comfortable bed and liked the duvet, as it was not cumbersome but warm to use.
United KingdomThe property had been cleaned to a very high standard . It had everything we needed and is in a great location.
United KingdomLovely spacious cottage in a really good location. Tucked away in the centre of the village. Great walking opportunities all around. Lovely food at the pub. Lots of crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment available to make meals. Good quality bedding and towels. Good communication about check in etc. Would definitely recommend this cottage. Three bedrooms (a double, a twin and a single) make it ideal for a couple or family.
United KingdomNice comfortable, well equipped cottage close to local amenities and easy access to surrounding countryside.
United KingdomClean, cosy and comfortable - with everything you could need for a great stay. Village very convenient, co-op, cafes and pubs. Locals very friendly and lots of walks in the area. Durham, Richmond etc in easy reach by car.
United KingdomFlexible hosts and good communication. Hosts weren't obtrusive during the visit. Plenty of information about the property provided.

Host Info
Mews Cottage used to be stabling for horses travelling from the historic market town of Alston. My father used to stable his horse there when he went to market days in Middleton in Teesdale.
We live just 2 miles away from the cottage and have a smallholding with hens, ducks, sheep and horses. We grow most of our own vegetables.
Middleton in Teesdale is a small village with lots of fantastic walks, all starting from the centre of the village. There are good local shops that supply all that is needed for your holiday. The North Pennines This area is one England’s darkest skies. The North Pennines AONB & UNESCO Global Geopark is recognised as the darkest mainland AONB in the country. In the North Pennines you’ll see thousands of stars overhead compared to only a handful in towns and cities. You’ll see the Milky Way in all its glory, along with distant galaxies and sparkling star clusters and more Dark Sky Discovery Sites than anywhere else in the UK. Dark Sky Discovery Sites Parts of Durham have some of the darkest skies in England, making it one of the best places in the country for stargazing. Middleton in Teesdale is very close to 7 of these sites:- 1. Balderhead Reservoir 2. Bowlees Visitor Centre 3. Cow Green Reservoir 4. Grassholme Reservoir 5. Hamsterley Forest 6. Hury Reservoir 7. Selset Reservoir
