Summary
The cottage is quaint and well-located near attractions and a shop. Guests appreciated the comfortable furnishings and responsive owners but noted limited space and a small courtyard needing maintenance. Overall, it offers a cozy stay, though the lack of a back garden was a drawback for some.
The property
Nestled on the Durham/North Yorkshire border in the idyllic village of Staindrop, you will find this charming, listed, 2-bedroom hideaway, Sunny Cottage. Enjoying a wonderful location with easy access to Barnard Castle and Middleton-in-Teesdale, as well as being within driving distance of the North Pennines AONB and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Sunny Cottage makes for a fantastic pet-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of four, plus their two canine companions. Step into the welcoming open-plan living space, where you can look forward to rustling up hearty meals in the well-equipped kitchen, with handy dishwasher and washer/dryer, ready to enjoy over a bottle of wine at the dining table for four. After dinner, retire to the plush sofas where you can curl up and watch a family favourite on the TV, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby, sure to be your pooches favourite spot after a day of exploring! As your eyes grow heavy, climb the stairs to the first floor to catch your rest in one of two well-presented bedrooms, a double and a twin. In the morning, indulge in a soothing soak or refreshing rinse in the shower, before whipping up morning coffees to savour in the front courtyard as you watch the world go by. Explore the local village where you will find the delightful Wheatsheaf Inn and The Country Tea Shop & Restaurant for alternative dining options, along with a well-stocked convenience store for picking up ingredients to cook up a storm in the comfort of Sunny Cottage. Take advantage of your superb location which is just a short walk away from the magnificent 14th-century Raby Castle Park and Gardens, where you can walk the good selection of trails in the 18th-century Walled Garden, spot the local wildlife in the 200-acre Deer Park or stop for coffee and cake in the Raby Castle Stables Café & Shop. Head over to Barnard Castle next, home to the grand Bowes Museum which offers a fascinating collection antiques, art and relics over three floors, there is also the lush Deepdale Nature Reserve for leisurely strolls, the historic ruins of the former castle and the excellent Barnard Castle Golf Club. Venture into the North Pennines AONB, where you will find scenic walking and cycling trails aplenty leading to the picturesque waterfalls of High Force, Cauldron Snout and Summerhill Force & Gibson’s Cave. From here you can explore the National Park where you can wander the scenic dales and find a wealth of attractions including, Pendragon Castle, Janet’s Foss, Parcevall Hall Gardens and the National Trust Brimham Rocks. All this and more awaits with a stay at Sunny Cottage. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 943949, together sleeping up to eight guests.
