Amazing place, so comfortable and everything you need. So peaceful and relaxing and excellent onsite cafe, cakes are amazing. Richard and Karen excellent hosts. Lovely welcome gift of complimentary breakfast in the dairy barn, which was beautiful and some biscuits and prosecco. We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful holiday. Millies Meadow cottage was just perfect for both of us. It was cosy and very well equipped a home from home. The cottage is in a beautiful area of County Durham giving easy access to explore the surrounding area. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly too. We enjoyed eating out at the local pubs, playing golf at a coRead moreuple of local courses, Barnard Castle being our favourite. We enjoyed fishing at two local lakes particularly enjoying Eden Grange fishery. Hide

I chose the cottage for the view and what Id hoped would be comfort. We were not disappointed on both counts, it was great! Lovely scenery all around the area and nice attention to detail in the cottage plus a big comfy bed. A winner.

A very clean and tidy cottage that was warm and comfortable - especially useful given the weather when I stayed was grim. Epic rainfall, high winds and cold. The view is lovely and I absolutely adore the countryside of Co. Durham. On the site the big bonus is the restaurant. The booking information doesn't make enough of this because it's excellentRead more. Prices are very good, the food is top notch and there's plenty of it. You do get a voucher thrown in too. WiFi please note isn't available. Hide

A lovely comfortable cottage with a fantastic view of the Durham countryside. For information the pub within walking distance of the cottage does not serve food and is only open for drinks three nights a week, it could also benefit from a refurb. There are several other pubs that do serve food within a few miles. The Dairy Barn, which is situated nRead moreext door, serves breakfast, lunch, cakes, hot drinks and ice creams and is excellent.
