Closely associated with the fortunes of nearby Raby Castle and its owners is the pretty Teesdale village of Staindrop in the York Dales. The Castle, a monument that is open to the public, is one of the grandest in England. Extended and modified over the centuries, the heart of the castle is medieval with a walled garden and 200-acre deer park. Staindrop itself is home to many interesting shops, pubs and cafes, all set round its long village green. The popular market town of Barnard Castle is only five miles away, and is the setting for the Bowes Museum, in addition to its wide range of shops and tea-rooms. The area is a wonderful place for walkers and cyclists with numerous routes throughout the stunning scenery.
Reviews
"This a a spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean and quiet get-away cottage in the centre of lots of attractions. The fact that it is part of a working farm adds to its attraction. The owners made us and our dog and guests very welcome. All in all it was a wonderful 8 days. Thank you so much, we will be back. Wendy and Ray"
"Just got back from a 3 night stay here. Wish we'd booked longer as we didn't want to come home. Cottage is lovely and the pics don't do it justice. Well equipped and very spacious. Lots of placed to visit but the village of Cleatlam is very very quiet which is what we loved the most. Most definitely recommend and we will return. The Goodwin's!"
"Cosy comfortable cottage. Very noisy early morning because of farm machinery. It didn't bother us but I think it could cause problems with others who are not used to farm life! Our Westie was attacked by two dogs from the farm opposite which was a bit upsetting. But on the whole a very good experience."
"Fantastic property at a very reasonable price. Kitchen was very well equipped not many places I looked at had a tumble dryer which was a necessity for us with 2 small kids. Really spacious with comfortable seating which I have found is unusual in holiday homes. The play area outside was great. My husband who is a farmer was as happy as a pig in muck to be on a farm and had a few chats with the owner who was really friendly and showed him around his farm and suggested he visited their local contractor, which he did!! Would recommend this property to anyone even without kids or from a faming background it was a real home from home."
