  Lovely cottage in a great location.

  Having 3 en-suite bedrooms worked really well for 3 couples to celebrate new year. All the bedrooms were spacious and had good storage. The shower in the twin room is compact but was fine for the shorter couple in the group. Great size kitchen that had just about everything we needed. Some of the crockery and wine glasses were a bit or a mismatch and would benefit from being updated. Living room was also spacious and had plenty of room on comfy sofas and chair to accommodate everyone. Didn’t use the garden as it was winter, but would have been a great space in warmer weather and looked ideal for anyone with a dog. Great location for getting out and about to Durham and the coast and locally for walks. Used both pubs in the village and both did what we needed. Glendenning arms good for a post walk drink and the travellers rest was great for dinner. Would recommend both.

  A fantastic barn conversion in a superb very remote location!

  The host was at the cottage to meet us as arranged and everything was clean and in order The locals were extremely friendly and waved everytime they saw us and spoke when passing which makes all the difference when you are visiting a new area We knew the location was in a Hamlet down a dead end and the views were superb out of every window. Noise was almost non-existent - apart from the odd car or quad going past, we only ever heard the wildlife Sights such as Low and High Force were in walking distance and more were just a short drive away The only thing we were slightly let down by was the fact that the local pub, which is advertised in the listing, was shut but it wasn't a show stopper I'd highly recommend Meadows Edge to anyone and we will be back in the future Thanks

  I booked The Turnip Barn for a week in Dec-22 and we happened to have freezing and snowy weather for the duration.

  The cottage was so warm, inviting and comfortable. It is a large cottage (3 bedrooms, each with en suite) with a walled (secure) garden which was perfect for my dog. The log fire gives extra heat as needed and is perfect for those dark, chilly winter evenings. This really is a wonderful cottage with all the facilities you need during a week away. Additionally, there are very good walks straight from the cottage door. The owners had very sweetly left a bottle of bubbly and box of chocolates as a welcome and when I met one of the owners in person (Chris), he was chatty, knowledgeable and very helpful. This is quite possibly the best cottage that I have stayed in to date and I would certainly look to return for another week next year. Thank you!

  What a perfect spot this is for exploring Teesdale!

  The cottage is very comfortable, cosy, with gorgeous views down and across the valley. We were welcomed by the owner when we collected the keys. The cottage itself is well-equipped, although it’s important to take a few additional items as well (we were glad we took extra towels, which the listing states are needed, plus extra toilet rolls and a hair-dryer). The cottage has incredibly effective heating! It was November and we had to turn it all the way down! You will be cosy. We enjoyed several walks along the Pennine Way—High Force and Summer Force were highlights—and over the moors. It’s a beautiful area, and this cottage is an ideal base from which to explore.
