Would stay here agian
Clean spacious cottage with everything you will need. Perfect location for discovering Teesdale and only 40 odd mins from the Lakes. Blacksmiths Arms not too far for a nightcap. Didn't find a local shop in Mickelton but Middleton just down the road has a (pricey) Co-op.
Very cosy and comfortable
Fantastic cottage with everything you need. Really comfy beds. Lovely sunny rear garden. Great location with walks from the cottage available. Lovely pub with garden and food 2 mins walk away called The Crown. Would defnitley return.

Fabulous cosy cottage

Lovely clean and comfortable
This cottage is one of the best we have stayed in, it's immaculately clean and everything you need. Very comfortable bed, which makes a huge difference to us. Lovely pub up the road serving beautiful food and walks from the doorstep.
Perfect property
Ideal property for exploring the beautiful Teesdale area.
Very clean and homely without being personalised.
Very well equipped, with everything you would need on your holiday.
Nice sunny back garden, totally dog safe.
Just couple of suggestions - some simple written instructions how to use TV/DVD for those who are technologically challenged like us!!
Just a couple of areas that would benefit from a bit of TLC e.g. grouting in bathroom/missing plug chain
Would definitely recommend to others.
