  Stayed at the Stackyard at Witton Hall Farm.

  Unbelievable! The most amazing place we have stayed so far. The lodge is beautifully laid out and decorated with gorgeous views of the countryside. Arrived to a welcome pack of prosecco, chocolates, milk and fresh farm eggs which was a lovely touch and the eggs were beautiful! The lodge is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need in particular the kitchen area including BBQ utensils. The owner Chris and the rest of the team at site are fantastic and have been on hand any time we needed them. We had a minor issue with the hot tub not working correctly and within 15 minutes of notifying the owners, they were there to fix it. This is a suberb holiday rental with high quality living and sleeping areas, Beds very comfortable, great kitchen/dining area and all very high spec with quality amenities. There were 5 of us staying and all felt the space was brilliant with plenty of different areas to sit and not be on top of each other. Loved seeing the Alpacas and horses every day and feeding them apples and carrots. Outdoor space is spectacular to take in the beautiful views with a corner unit lounge by the outdoor BBQ and a seperate table and chairs with a built in fire pit. Plus the hot tub is fantastic with outdoor lighting and fairy lights over the tub. Amazing location, highly recommend. Plus the owners/managers really go ouy of their way to make you feel welcome. Amazing holiday had by all, thank you. We will book again specifically for here and highly recommend!x

  We have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday at The Aspens.

  The Aspens stands alone surrounded by fields and meadows and has beautiful views of the countryside. Peace and tranquillity is guaranteed here well away from the world and it is totally private. The barn has been renovated and maintained to a very high standard and decorated and furnished with good taste and flair with an eye for detail. Every comfort has been catered for with luxury soft furnishings and bedding. It is immaculately clean and from the moment we arrived until the moment we left we loved every minute Being keen birdwatchers we brought a long list of birds home with us. We were greeted by a family of spotted flycatchers in the garden and we saw black grouse and three species of owl in one week locally. The roe deer with their young were especially lovely to see in forest clearings in an evening. It is also perfectly situated for walking straight from the door or for touring the pretty villages of Teesdale and surrounding moors. We didn't want to leave this cosy and welcoming place and this holiday is certainly one for our memory box. Highly recommended but please leave a place for us!!!!

  This is a well appointed cottage surrounded by stunning scenery.

  We were looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday, and we found it. The facilities at the cottage are excellent, from the underfloor heating to the very comfortable sofas and beds. The two ensuite bedrooms are both a good size and the shower in the main room was excellent (we only used one room but I am sure the second shower is good too). The kitchen had everything you could need including a coffee machine and wine cooler. The lounge was relaxing with good lighting, a log fire and a widescreen television. The wifi was reliable throughout. Outside, the cottage has wonderful views, and plenty of sheep with their playful lambs. The hot tub is well-maintained and extremely inviting, with separate towels, robes and slippers provided. A welcome gift of coffees, preserves, chocolates and prosecco was much appreciated. The owner, Mandy, is friendly, helpful and welcoming but also unobtrusive. She clearly wants to ensure that guests enjoy their holidays at The Aspens, and she certainly succeeded. We have already recommended the cottage to friends and family, and intend to return for a second visit in the future.

  The Aspens is up there with the best holiday cottages we have used over the years.

  The gift pack of local produce including fresh local milk, coffee, chocolates and the all important Prosecco for our first dip in the hot tub on arrival was very much appreciated. The fully enclosed garden was perfect to allow our puppy out in the gardens to explore without any worries over escaping, despite the attractions of the local bird and rabbit population. The old stone cattle barn has been expertly upgraded both inside and out with every home comfort imaginable, with the matching stone flags both internally and externally a personal favourite. The Aspens is an excellent base for exploring the many local walks in the surrounding dales of Durham, Northumberland, Yorkshire and Cumbria, as well as for bird watching or simply relaxing in the hot tub, star gazing, if weather conditions allow. I’ve never seen so many Lapwings or Oyster Catchers in one place. We would highly recommend this property as a base for a relaxing break in the country, in total seclusion, but close enough to the local amenities in Mickleton or Middleton-in-Teesdale and look forward to returning in the future.

  Absolutely beautiful cottage surrounded by stunning countryside with 360 degree views.

  The only thing you will hear at the cottage is sheep such is the remoteness of the location. The cottage itself is extremely cosy with a log burner built into the wall at a height that means children cannot reach it. The underfloor heating downstairs also creates lovely warmth. The stand alone bath in the master bedroom is a lovely touch too if want to relax. There is a hot tub outside which is perfect for an evening soak whilst watching the stars as there is zero light pollution. Towels and bathrobes are also provided for the hot tub specifically. We had a cot set up for us when we arrived with bedding laid out for our little boy which was a nice touch. The cottage has a very homely feel to it which is perfect for relaxing in. It's a short distance to some stunning walks and would be a perfect getawlay for both families and couples. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful cottage
