    Only thing was there was a private function at the pub and in the evening i could not park outside the barn, but found somewhere along the road.

    The micro barn is so beautifully set out and has everything you could need for a lovely warm stay, the shower is excellent and the fresh milk on arrival was a added bonus.

    A bit dark from the car park. Windows hard to open (but not a huge issue as we did manage to get them open in the end). Would have been nice to be able to eat at the crown (but due to staff shortages this wasn’t available)

    Great location. Everything you need for a short stay. Facilities were spotless and leaving milk in the fridge was a most welcome surprise

    The weather ....it didn't rain as much as we expected. Still, it was a lovely break.

    Nice comfortable barn. The food in the pub was first class, especially Sunday lunch, and reasonably priced.

    I didnt arrive at the barn till later evening and left early morning so didnt feel I got to fully enjoy the barn but the barn was super cute and cosy, fab kitchen area facilities, lovely decor and comfy bed. Had a lovely stay, would definitely recommend and would love to visit it again and get more use out of the barn next time. Also the owners were great at answering any questions. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Everything. This little barn has a bedroom, bathroom and living room, with a fridge, microwave, kettle and crockery. It is very cosy and spotlessly clean and tidy. It is in a lovely peaceful location with nice walks nearby. The owner is very nice. Free onsite parking too. We stayed when the pub was closed.

    It was quite hot when we first arrived as the radiators were on in both the bedroom and the living area. We managed to turn these both off as it was a warm day already outside. The towel rail in the bathroom was really hot and there was no switch to turn this off which was generating heat throughout our stay. We had to open the windows which were a bit tricky to do to let some air in and cool the room down. There was no milk but thankfully we have took our own in case so used this. The beer garden was full when we checked in as it was a nice afternoon and Easter weekend the pub was open so we didn’t manage to sit outside. We had quite a few people come to the door as it was open for a while due to the heat inside. People thought the barn were the toilets! If you go on a busy weekend and the pub is open be prepared for lots of activity around you as beer garden is right outside. We didn’t mind as the pub closed at 8ish so noise calmed down by 9pm. But if you are looking for complete retreat maybe check if the pub is going to be open or not first!

    Cosy little barn with living area and bedroom. Situated next to beer garden and pub car park. Great location for walking the dogs along the old railway line either to Middleton-in- Teesdale or next village about 2 miles either way.
