  When we arrived Steven met us at the cabin and ran through everything we needed to know, he let us know we could contact him if we needed anything but also left us to relax and enjoy out break, which was a great balance.

  On arrival there was milk and wine in the fridge and some biscuits, which was a lovely touch. The cabin is beautiful and has everything you could need, the kitchen is well stocked to be able to prepare simple meals. The gas fire is a little tricky to start with but heats the whole cabin and it is very cosy. Sofa and bed were both incredibly comfortable. It is very clear that a lot of love goes in to getting the cabins ready and ours was absolutely spotless. Steven called us before we arrived to see if we wanted the hot tub pre heating so we were able to get in pretty much from arrival :) there is plenty of wood available to be able to use the hot tub every day. We visited with our dog, there is lots to do locally and most places we visited are dog friendly. There are some secured fields/wooded area next to the cabins that you are able to use for dog walking, which has a beautiful beck at the bottom. All three cabins had a dog staying while we were there, because of how the cabins are arranged we didn't see the other dogs or guests unless walking in the field. There is a very handy welcome file in the cabin which has lots of information in. The week we visited was valentines day (we had some cute cupcakes left by our door!) and my 40th Birthday and I honestly could not think of a better place to have celebrated! Thank you for a lovey stay and we will definitely be returning.

  What can I say about River view lodge other than absolute perfection! Peaceful! tranquil! absolute luxury! and what a setting! We have a couple of holidays like this a year and rarely return to the same place, which is more out of variety than anything else but RVL could be an annual holiday for us going forward. I always say that the place we stay has to be on par or better than what we have at home! When we arrived I think Andrew thought we were staying for a month, we always go well prepared through experience but Andrew's attention to detail is amazing he's pretty much thought of anything and everything. You really have to see this place to appreciate it, fixtures fittings and the finish are as good as it gets, the beds and bedding are pure luxury. It's a shame this place wasn't on grand designs as I would have loved to have seen the building of it. It's the best UK holiday we have had, the local area is beautiful with loads of nice walks by the river. Sometimes it's the smallest detail that makes all the difference and this was how dog friendly it is, hot and cold water to wash your dog off with towels shampoo and all other bits provided. Fantastic! For us this is a 10/10 place we didn't want to leave. WE WILL BE BACK!

  We have just spent a wonderful week in River view Lodge, it far exceeded our expectations in terms of the quality of the fixtures and fittings and the craftsmanship is exceptional! The views are stunning whether your sitting in bed or in the lounge or relaxing in the hot tub on the deck! The owners are extremely helpful and as others have said the fact that there is no parking on site is not a problem, Andrew met us in the village which is only a short walk away and took all our stuff up to the lodge. The village itself is pretty with 2 nice pubs, they only serve food at the weekend but there are plenty of other pubs in nearby villages if you want to have a drive out. The Spice Valley is also well worth trying for a Indian takeaway. The local area is beautiful and there are plenty of walks directly from the lodge and along the river, but coming back to that fabulous hot tub waa an absolute treat! Thank you Andrew and Sarah for a wonderful week, it really is Five star luxury and would highly recommend to others. We will be back again.....even if it is just to get a good night's sleep in that luxurious bed!

  We were recommended Otters Holt by a neighbour.

  The lodge is in a beautiful, peaceful and private setting that instantly lets you unwind...and the hot tub was all ready for us on arrival complete with complimentary fizz! Surrounded by countryside and bird song we watched swallows feed their chicks and heard curlew fly overhead. Our hosts were on hand for anything we had forgotten or needed. Our elderly dog even had his own bag with bowls and snuggly blankets in case he was chilly. A great place to bring dogs with local walks and many others a short drive away. The cabin is cozy and fitted out to a standard much higher than we expected and nothing had been forgotten. A wonderful place in mid summer...it never seemed to get dark. With a flame fire and central heating a visit in the winter would be delightfully cozy. We highly recommend this cottage or the other two on site. Thank you for a fabulous week of peace and rest.

  We recently had a 2 night stay in the Otters Holt lodge.

  Upon arrival, we were met by the owners who went through everything with us. The lodge had been set up with birthday banners and we were kindly left a few treats. This was an amazing gesture as my wife had no idea of where we were going. The lodge was beautiful - had everything mentioned and was very clean and tidy. The owners definitely take pride and this was very reflective of all the details of our stay. They were very kind, knowledgeable about the area and made some great recommendations about where to visit and to eat. The hot tub was great, was secluded from other lodges and very peaceful. The lodge is on a working farm and in a quiet location, it was perfect for a chill out few days. We used the opportunity to visit nearby low / high force, raby and barnard castle. We would definitely come back and recommend to others. A real gem!! Thanks for a lovely stay.
