Guests appreciate the warm hospitality of the owner and the well-equipped, clean, and comfortable facilities.

Cleanliness

Guests consistently mention the spotless condition of the cottage, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. The property is described as welcoming and very clean, contributing to the overall positive experience.

Location

The location is highly praised for its beautiful countryside views, proximity to local shops, pubs, and walking routes. Its setting near the Pennine Way and waterfalls adds to its appeal, although one mention of a hill climb for those with limited mobility slightly impacts the score.

Comfort

Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the cottage cosy, warm, and inviting. The presence of comfortable beds and a wood burner adds to the overall comfort. However, one mention of a cold dining room due to heating issues slightly lowers the score.

Thoughtfulness

The owner's thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of a welcome pack and attentive service. While such gestures are appreciated, it is noted that these are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

An early 18th century, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, situated on the outskirts of the delightful village of Middleton-in-Teesdale, just 10 miles from Barnard Castle. Boasting outstanding views of the surrounding fells, West House is full of charm and character, offering a quaint sitting room with cosy woodburning stove, a separate dining room and a spacious rear garden, ideal for sitting out and enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the area. This is a good base for those wishing to experience village life with all the local shops, pubs and village walks just a short stroll from the property, whilst the nearby market town of Barnard Castle with its cobbled streets and quaint lanes attracts visitors all year round. With the Northern Dales waiting to be discovered slightly further afield, this lovely cottage is ideal for family and friends to get away from it all!

Set in an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' in the heart of Teesdale, the pretty Pennine village of Middleton-In-Teesdale is perched on the riverbank of the beautiful Tees Valley. With a wide range of shops, pubs and places to eat, this lovely little settlement boasts a range of amenities. The surrounding countryside is a great place for walkers with pretty wooded valleys and high open moorland as well as the incredible waterfalls of High Force and Cauldron Snout, regarded as some of the most spectacular sights in the district. Barnard Castle, a lovely market town, is also close by and offers a huge range of facilities and activities.
