1 Springwater View, Teesdale

We all enjoyed the lovely cosy cottage feel and to walk into the smell of freshly baked bread was fantastic it also tasted great! . Everyone we met were very friendly and I would recommend staying here . One tiny thing we could have done with more teaspoons in the cutlery drawer 4 wasnt enough but everything else was perfect.

There were 3 generations, all adults, we had a wonderful 3 days with good weather. The cottage was just perfect very clean, we couldnt have done better considering we had no idea what to expect. Lovely walks, for our 3 dogs!! Good pubs!! All in all we would highly recommend every aspect of our break

This was the first time weve visited the Durham Dales and we were not disappointed. Springwater View was amazing, very clean and homely, we wanted for nothing. Plenty of room for our family of 5. The beds were so comfy my daughter couldnt believe how comfy they were! Everyone we met was so friendly and happy to chat especially Karen, she gave my hubby and son in law plenty of advice on good cycle routes to keep them busy! Our dogs loved walking down the lane and across a couple of small fields to splash in the river Tees. We visited High Force Waterfall, Barnard Castle and Hamsterley Forest as well as Hayberries Nature Reserve and Romaldkirk. The two pubs in the village are fab, good food and drink. Loved our holiday so much weve booked to go back alreadysee you next year Springwater View.

Brilliant Stay! The house was lovely and spacious for the 8 of us.

The cottage and the owner were lovely. Everything we needed was there & it was a great location with lots of walks for our little dog.

Beautiful home plenty of space for us all and the dog

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage over the New Year. The cottage was well equipped and was lovely and clean. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub and then time to chill in either the front room or kitchen as they both had a TV. It was a nice surprise when we arrived to be met by the smell of freshly made bread and a small selection of delicious biscuits left by the owner. Views from the house were breathtaking with many local walks. The owner was available if we needed anything. Overall our family had an amazing time making memories.

Really cosy, clean and wellappointed property. We had a wonderful stay thank you. We especially liked the welcome gift of baking bread. An attentive host

The Cottage was fabulous and Karen went above and beyond. Hoping to return in the future.

Stunning property with a family feel. Good sized bedrooms and lovely main bathroom.

We had the most wonderful stay at Spring Water View, everything was perfect from start to finish. On arrival we were greeted by Karen, shown around the cottage and she gave recommendations for places to visit and food options. Karen provided us with milk, cakes and a loaf of freshly baked bread, a lovely touch. All amenities were spot on, rooms were very spacious and ideal for 6 of us. The village of Mickleton was great, lots of nice pubs for food and drink. We had a great stay and would recommend to anyone!

We had an amazing weekend stay for a family get together. The accommodation was fantastic with everything we needed and more! Karen was very welcoming and on hand to answer any queries. The welcome gifts and homemade bread were an added bonus. The area is stunning with walks from the cottage and a short drive to Barnard Castle. We also walked from Low Falls to High Falls. Would highly recommend this property and we hope to revisit again at some point.

The cottage was spacious, clean and had all mod cons. The hot tub was also kept in immaculate condition. We arrived to the smell of delicious fresh bread baking which was enjoyed by us all. The cottage was a great base to explore the region. Locally, we enjoyed the Blacksmith Arms pub with its friendly atmosphere & fabulous pizzas. We also had the most delicious Sunday roast at The Crown. We would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful house in a lovely area

Well appointed cottage in a beautiful setting. Comfortably accommodated our party of eight and one dog easily. We all loved the garden and hot tub. Karen met us on arrival, showed us round the property and provided a lovely welcome pack which included freshly cooked bread! The village has two good pubs, The Crown where we had a lovely meal and the Blacksmiths Arms which was very friendly.

Family group of 8 and a dog! 6 adults and 2 children. Lovely accommodation, plenty of space for us all. Hot tub was an added bonus. Had great weather, so also enjoyed the BBQ one evening. Lovely area, couple of nice pubs within easy walking distance. Some nice walks from the doorstep. The host was very prompt in communicating and responding to any queries we had. The bread cooking as we arrived, and the welcome pack was an unexpected but welcomed addition. Would recommend both the accommodation and the area.

The cottage was immaculate and had everything you would need. The smell of fresh bread baking was an extra bonus and the bread, ginger cake and biscuits were delicious. Karen the owner was extremely friendly and easy to contact if needed. Would recommend this cottage as great place to stay and hopefully we will return next year.

We arrived to a lovely aroma of freshly baked bread, to our delight there was a freshly baked loaf in the bread machine waiting. Thank you so much for this and the fruit cake and biscuits. They were lovely after a long journey. We arranged a tesco delivery to be delivered on the day we arrived for ease. Highly recommend! Lovely home, very clean and the beds were very comfortable!! Kitchen well equipped for what you need. Hot tub was a bonus, Julie was in it every day! Have to praise on the house being dog friendly and not just dog tolerant. Was refreshing to visit a property and not have too many restrictions. It felt like they were more than welcome. Visited Barnard Castle a few times. Saturday was very busy and not much carparking, however they have the best fish and chip shop we've ever been too. Fish and chips 149. A must if you enjoy them. Lovely ice cream shops. They do have a morrisons and lidl if you need anything too. We did a few different walks, first one was to high force waterfall from the high force hotel car park. 3.50 per person and tickets can be bought online or at the waterfall. Beautiful scenery, perfect to let the dogs off to have a run through the woods. Second walk was from Bowlees visitors center to high force hotel. Lovely walk, dogs have to stay on a lead, however a good walk with a few waterfalls and Gibsons cave! Teesdale railway walk was If you are after a local dog walk, go straight out the back gate and straight down the lane. You'll come to an open field where the dogs can have a good run to the bridge. Didn't manage to explore over the bridge but there is a public footpath there. Highly recommend eating at the high force hotel. Food was reasonable price and delicious. Hot meat cibatta was amazing. Made a fuss of the dogs. Still lots to visit will definitely be returning. Thanks so much for a lovely holida

Absolutely loved this cottage, perfect for the 7 of us. Bedroom wise, twin rooms are always a bonus for us. Amazing location. Would highly recommend this cottage. Explore the amazing Durham Dale's. Owner Karen is lovely to.

Excellent accommodation and location very well equipped and managed to cook and bake on the three nights that we stayed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The house was clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable with quality bedding. The kitchen was well stocked and there was bread and a welcome pack on our arrival. The hot tub was well maintained and the owner came to check we were ok using it. The local pubs were very friendly the pizzas at the Blacksmiths Arms very nice and we had a nice meal at The Crown. We had snow when we were there and found the locals were helpful and the roads were gritted so we had no problems. We would stay again.

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and excellent facilities, everything we needed. Karen welcomed us on arrival and kindly left us some freshly baked bread which we sampled immediately! and other goodies. Hottub was ready, very warm and roomy. Just needs somewhere to put drinks on, like a small table. Would definitely go again, thank you

Beautiful house, lovely welcome from Karen the owner and a kind welcome pack which was greatly received especially the homemade bread. We had a fantastic stay and the hot tub was magic after a days walking and exploring. Thank You.

Fantastic base for a girls weekend. The house was really clean, spacious and felt very homely. The hot tub was great, the kitchen was well equipped and the owner was lovely and super helpful. Only 10 minutes down the road to High Force and about the same to Barnard Castle for shops and pubs. Can't see why we wouldn't want to return for another weekend away.

Excellent property and location. We had a fabulous stay.

Lovely property. Really amazing weekend all round and everything there that we could have asked for. Really clean, very smart and lovely hosts. Thank you so much for a lovely weekend

We had a fabulous time away, plenty of space for 8 people. The cottage is beautiful and the hot tub was an amazing bonus, which was nice and relaxing. We had a walk to the local pub The Blacksmith Arms as it was a lovely day, it was really nice to sit in the beer garden enjoying a drink. We would definitely be coming back to stay here again. Would 100 recommend anyone to book this gorgeous cottage for a break away.

Lovely accommodation. Comfortable, clean and homely. Freshly made bread, cake and cookies on arrival was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this property.

Great place , lovely to have the freshly cooked loaf of bread awaiting us lovely spot and good for walks and peace

Fantastic stay. We were there for a week and it was the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Lots of beautiful walks on your doorstep plus sightseeing bits for a rainy day only 1015 minute drive away. Theres also a very friendly pub a 2 minute walk away with amazing pizzas The house was well equipped throughout including the hot tub which was a welcome treat after a long walk!

Wonderful cottage. We had loads of room and everything we needed was available. Karen the owner welcomed us and explained everything to do with keys, the heating and hot tub etc. She is great and had left for us lovely cake, biscuits, milk and bread too. The bread was fresh from the brand new bread maker too! We cannot wait to go back next year.

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. A great location for exploring the area. The local pubs and takeaways were great too. Karen was very friendly and helpful when we arrived. We had a lovely holiday thank you.

We had a fabulous stay at the cottage. Karen and her family were friendly and helpful. The welcome pack including freshly baked bread was a lovely touch. The cottage was equipped with everything you could need including a high chair and a cot for our two young grandchildren. As we also had two dogs with we found the cottage sensibly and practically furnished so you were not worried about ornaments etc being knocked over which is sometimes the case in other cottages. The local pub was just around the corner and the landlord and locals could not have been friendlier. Thank you once again. Finally I would would like to thank Sykes cottages for the professional and swift way they found this cottage as a replacement for the one we originally booked which was cancelled through no fault of ourselves or Sykes.

Excellent property in a great location for exploring the local attractions.

Lovely, well equipped and furnished property. Great communication throughout. Hot tub maintenance and checked daily was helpful. Excellent experience.
