Owl Cottage is a stylish escape in the beautiful Durham Dales. The romantic holiday cottage is overflowing with charm, boasting a luxuriously large log burner and the perfect blend of vintage and contemporary furnishings that make it a welcoming escape for couples in every season. The Middleton-in-Teesdale location is excellent for walkers, especially those who don't like being too far from The Forrester's pub for a post-hike pint. With bookings available all year round and short breaks possible outside of peak season, it's no wonder this cottage is so popular with couples and the occasional solo-traveller who yearns for something far more welcoming than an impersonal hotel room.
Middleton-in-Teesdale is right on the border of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. It's next to Hudeshope Beck and only a few miles from the breathtaking drop of High Force waterfalls. Middleton-in-Teesdale is a friendly market town with cafes, pubs, independent shops and a small supermarket all within walking distance. The Durham Dales have a walk to suit every ability. Alfred Wainwright loved the stretch from Middleton-on-Teesdale to High Cup Nick via the River Tees and described it as "a walk of near perfection". The Pennine Way and Teesdale Way pass through the village, and there are also routes leading to Low Force and Holwick. Cyclists and mountain bikers also have access to notable routes with fantastic views. Bike hire is available locally.
Local attractions include Raby Castle, Bowes Museum and Barnard Castle which are all a 15 minute drive from Owl Cottage. Barnard Castle is great for shops, antiques, artisan bakers, and of course English Heritage site Barnard Castle. The ancient city of Durham with its magnificent Cathedral and the famous University is around 40 minutes away, with lots of places to eat, drink and shop. The sightseeing doesn't stop when the sun goes down because the Durham Dales has multiple Dark Sky Discovery Sites, including Cow Green Reservoir, Grassholme Reservoir (and it's Observatory), and Balderhead Reservoir. Owl Cottage provides guests with binoculars, head torches and stargazing maps, as well as comfortable chairs and blankets so you can snuggle up and marvel at the magnificence of the Milky Way undimmed by light pollution and, if you're lucky, the glowing beauty of the Northern Lights.
