Garden Cottage, Mickleton

A lovely little cottage which was very clean, and the owner was very nice. Had a lovely relaxing week.

A lovely cosy cottage in beautiful surroundings, and there were plenty of walks on the doorstep. We will definitely visit again.

The cottage was very cosy and in a beautiful part of the country.

Nice area, good for walks, cycle rides and pubs. However the Agency's description of the property is very misleading. The property is very small and indescribably dark inside - you will have the (tungsten filament) lights on all the time. Yes, old cottages are dark, but the two windows on this property look out onto a grey 6' wall surmounted but a 20' yew and holly hedge. Early morning sun can't get in because of the trees on the other side of the lane. If you intend cooking anything much more than a tea bag you will find that difficult using the ancient microwave / combination and 2 ring electric hob which seems to get hot all over. If you bring in a takeaway there is no table to use*. If you eat it off your knees, there is not a coffee table to use. If you choose "al fresco", the "garden" is a gravel car park you will share with your neighbour, two wheelie bins and two dead pot plants. Upstairs there are two ill lit steps between the gallery bedroom and the bathroom which are a trip hazard at any time and at 2am in particular. At least gentlemen will know when they get there, because they will crack their head on the beam. Incidentally, there are no bathroom towels which is a bit rich for a 4 tick property. I am no architect but I suspect only the stone shell of the building is period and that everything else is 21st Century. * There is a "breakfast bar" but space is so limited we could not see how it was in any way useful.

Everything walkers with a dog could want from a holiday cottage. A cosy cottage with good quality appliances. The owner was friendly and most helpful. The cottage is in a perfect location, quiet but near enough to lovely walks & good pubs serving super food. The outside garden/courtyard area is fully enclosed so safe to let the dog roam. Certainly ticked all our boxes!

The owner made us feel welcome, the free eggs were really nice. Fishing was wonderful, it was a nice comfortable cottage. Should have booked two weeks instead, only booked one.

We were made to feel welcome to Garden Cottage by the very helpful owner. The cottage is delightful and the area is lovely, not busy and not 'touristy'. Bar/Restaurant in village is excellent and would highly recommend. The enclosed garden is great for dogs as you can open the door and be sure they are safe to wander around. Would love to go back as we did enjoy it

Friendly welcome and closed in garden which the dog could roam in safety. No noise which for a working farm was surprising. All villages were fairly close and the scenery fantastic.

Great location, great access to local area. Quiet cottage with excellent fit and finish. Friendly owner. Pet friendly and spotlessly clean. All round had a great stay in a lovely area.

The location was excellent for walkers with many circular walks within a short distance.

The cottage was in a beautiful location, very quiet and peaceful, great for walking. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

Setting and scenery, nice and quiet.

A nice and cosy cottage. Welcome-eggs. The cottage is small but enough for 2 adults. It is not easy to find if you are not from Great Britain. We missed the small road two times. But when we reached the "goal" it was, for us, typical English, nice and kind. We had a wonderful week with good weather and not so good weather. And I had never seen so much sheeps in my live.

We had a wonderful time in Garden Cottage. It is in a great area and there is a lot to see. Very polite people around.

It was very cosy, very quiet and very friendly.

Very peaceful and perfectly situated for walking. The cottage was warm and comfortable and the owners were friendly and helpful but didn't fuss.

The friendliness of the owner and the excellent standard of cleanliness throughout the whole property. Would recommend highly.

Good venue - pleasant hosts. It was a nice venue and great for the dog.

Lovely, nice tranquil cottage. Friendly owners. Central for the 2 villages of Mickleton and Middleton. Ideal for the dog.

Excellent cottage in an excellent location. Within easy reach of the many attractions; the wild moors and nature forests, waterfalls and reservoirs. Peaceful, clean, little traffic and fantastic!

The owners were absolutely great, very friendly and a pleasure to know. Very quiet and relaxing. I look forward to going again. Even a torch at the doorway in case of power-cuts. It was ALL GREAT.

There is very little light pollution and therefore excellent for stargazing!

Great for dogs, less than 5 minutes walk to the old railway track where you can walk for miles with no lead needed.

One of the best cottages we have been to over the years. Thank you.

Peace and quiet among the beautiful surroundings. A very enjoyable & relaxing holiday.

A clean and comfortable cottage with friendly helpful owners.

The cottage was good value for money and in a beautiful area. Plenty of scenic walks alongside the river and the disused railway and a very peaceful & relaxing location. Friendly & welcoming owners but not intrusive.

The proximity to local walks from the door of the cottage. The cottage didn't smell of dogs at all which was great! The owners were lovely, and the settings were perfect.

Good walking area. Quiet retreat close to many interesting places to visit. Enclosed court yard garden for young children.

Great area for walking. Owner very helpful and friendly.

Lovely peaceful cottage, super location, excellent cycle rides and walks.

An excellent cottage in a lovely area. The owners made us feel very welcome and the dog was made to feel welcome also and loved the walks in this area. We would come back anytime.

Good, quiet location.

We went on holiday to chill out and we certainly did that. The weather was brilliant, the cottage was good and we would certainly go back again. We have already recommended the area to our family and friends and have lent out your brochure.

Peaceful situation. Good walking right from the door.

Very quiet location. Could walk without use of car. Villages nearby. People very friendly. Superb eating places close by. Wonderful scenery.

Garden cottage offered excellent peace and quiet, as it sits on the outskirts of the nearest village (a short walk away). Teesdale has excellent walks for all walkers, and lots to do if the weather is bad.

Immaculate cottage in stunning countryside. Excellent walking from door of the cottage. You can walk along the disused Railway path to Middleton where there is a good local Butchers, shops and cafes. In the other direction is Romaldkirk, with the award winning Rose and Crown. Ideal cottage for a cosy Christmas break.

Excellent situation, quiet, and superb walking from the door.

The surrounding area offered stunning scenery and its was an excellent base for touring and walking. The Red Well Inn at Barnard Castle was excellent for food and there were some really nice Olde-Worlde pubs within driving distance. Dont miss High Force Waterfall, Castle Bolton and Barnard Castle.
