About this property
Mickleton 0.5 miles.
A pretty stone and slate-built Grade II listed cottage, situated on the owner's working farm on the edge of the village of Mickleton. Formerly the gardener's cottage, the property has undergone a tasteful and imaginative conversion to provide very comfortable and well-equipped accommodation with character features such as sloping ceilings and timber beams. The cottage is surrounded by spectacular Teesdale countryside and makes a great base for exploring this unspoilt part of the Dales. Note: Garden Cottage adjoins Ref. 558 Westfield Cottage and the properties can be booked together to accommodate a group of up to 9.
Situated in the heart of beautiful Teesdale close to the villages of Romaldkirk and Middleton is the small hamlet of Mickleton. Within Teesdale and just a few miles from the market town of Barnard Castle, this pretty village consists primarily of a cluster of stone houses set along a single street. With a post office, village shop and two pubs, Mickleton has everything a visitor could need. However for more specific amenities, Barnard Castle provides a huge range of shops, restaurants and pubs. Just on the doorstep are The Pennine and Teesdale Ways, providing beautiful walking routes through the local countryside. The River Tees and magnificent waterfalls at High Force are also close by.

The owner could not have been nicer. Or kinder. The cottage was clean tidy and had all you needed. The village isn't far and Middleton is only a mile or so. Good walks all round and not far from anywhere Loverly stay. Dog friendly and will be booking again. 110 /10 xxx

The cottage was furnished to reflect its age and idyllic tranquil position. It was very clean, comfortable and furnished with comfort in mind. Parking was excellent as were access to walks within the immediate vicinity of the cottage. Time stood still. Enchanting. 5* .
