Reviews
"The photos do not do this cottage justice! Cosy, beautifully decorated, ideal location and the owner was attentive but not intrusive. Owner has a farm & we were able to see some lambs being born and bottle feed some too! We were supplied with fresh eggs from the farm plus a basket of goodies on arrival. We walked the Pennine way to High Force, the scenery is spectacular. We watched rabbits playing and lambs frolicing in the field opposite. The village of Middleton in Teesdale is small, with a couple of hotels/bars and cafes with some independent shops. Well worth a visit!"
"This was the second time we've visited the West House that is owned by a very friendly couple, Sally Ann and Andrew Teward. The cottage is made of local stone and has been fully modernized inside to a very high standard. It contains a huge kitchen/diner, two cozy reception rooms and a bathroom and two very large bedrooms upstairs. The cottage has stunning views from every window and it's not unusual to see the likes of rabbits and pheasants roaming around. The town of Middleton In Teesdale, has all the necessary amenities. For a market town, Barnard Castle is a short drive away. For the keen angler, the Tewards have fishing rights to a section of the Tees River and welcome anglers. The Grasholme Reservoir is only 3 miles away and offers great angling for reservoir trout."
"Stayed for 2 nights New Years Eve and New Years Day and it was a real relaxing treat. The house was spotless and so very welcoming with everything we needed, even a bottle of prosecco to toast the New Year. Landlady popped in to say hi and make sure we had everything we needed, she even took the time to give us the best routes to go for a morning run with our two young children too which was really appreciated. Both adults and children loved our stay from the warm cosy atmosphere to the nice walk into the village where we were greeted by the friendly locals....some great places to eat too....."
"Loved this cottage was spotless. plenty room for kids to play outside, lovely view when sitting at patio. Bedrooms smashing bed to big l couldn,t kick my husband when he was snoring. will be back felt to relaxed when l got home"
"A lovely friendly welcome made by the owner. Lots of advice given regarding the beautiful walks from the cottage . Furnishings in the cottage were beautiful , straight out of the Country Living magazine. Large Kitchen , well equipped with everything for a lovely holday . We didn't need the car once we got there as the village shops catered for everything we needed. The cottage was in such a good location for High Force & Low Force Waterfalls . A splendid walk from the doorstep . Off road parking . We could not have asked for anything more ."
"The house was everything we could have asked for. Following the cancellation of another property in the area at short notice, the owners of West House couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Fresh eggs, milk and biscuits all left for us, spacious, comfortable rooms, excellent heating in the teeth of very cold wintry blasts and to top it all a super-king size bed for a great nights sleep. We highly recommend this cottage to anybody, it met our needs and more. Hopefully we may book there again next time we visit our relations and friends in the North East. Forgot to mention the views as well..."
"This was our first Christmas away from home, and my wife and I wanted to show our children what Christmas is like away from the city. The cottage was beautiful, we all loved the wood burner, comfy beds and thick stone walls. It was made even better by the snow! The owners were fantastic, providing lovely touches such as decorations and a beautiul xmas tree, fresh eggs and logs. I would recommend this cottage to anyone!"
