This luxurious, five-star retreat rests on the owners' grounds near the village of Boldron in the Upper Teesdale area. Its surrounding areas offer an enchanting experience for visitors seeking natural beauty and historic charm. The market town of Barnard Castle is a real gem. It stands on the site of an ancient Roman fort which crosses the river and offers fantastic independent shops, pubs and cafes, as well as a weekly market and stunning walks along the River Tees. A short walk from the town centre is Bowes Museum, with its colourful collection of European art. Nearby attractions include Egglestone Abbey (4 miles), the historic Raby Castle (10 miles) and the breathtaking High Force – England's highest waterfall (18 miles). Why not visit the historic market town of Richmond (14 miles) or the Dales village of Reeth (12 miles) for a slice of Yorkshire life?

Nestled in serene surroundings, this peaceful stone-built holiday cottage offers a haven of tranquillity elevated with breathtaking views. As you step into the pristine property on the ground floor, a spacious entrance lobby welcomes you with a bistro table and chairs, providing a convenient spot to unwind and shed your coats and boots after a day of exploring.

Relax in the spacious lounge adorned with comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner-effect electric fire, ideal for unwinding after your adventures. The well-equipped kitchen invites you to create delicious homecooked meals to enjoy at the dining table before settling in for a cosy evening.
