We had an amazing time at the cottage. The owners were great, very friendly and welcoming. The cottage had everything we could need for our stay, can't wait to go again.
What a fantastic place to stay, the owner and family made us really welcome. The cottage was lovely, warm and relaxing, and the scenery of the area was stunning. Hope to go again in March for a week.
The cottage was really lovely. It was set in a beautiful valley with the river Tees at the bottom and the Pennine Way running by it. I loved the fact that it felt like I was away from it all but that there was actually a village and a pub only a few minutes walk away. All that was visible from the cottage was the stunning scenery of the Tees Valley clothed in beautiful autumn colours. All in all it was exactly what I was after; a really lovely break in beautiful English countryside.
A beautiful secluded location with great access to walks and cycling from the front door. The cottage was cosy and comfortable.
Superb cottage and area, definitely a good cottage for some solitude! The owner is very approachable and helpful, many thanks. Will stay here again and can recommend to all.
It was a fantastic cottage in the middle of a field, full of sheep lambing, and 50 metres from the river Tees. Middleton-in-Teesdale was only 3 miles away. There were fantastic facilities in the cottage, it was very warm with brilliant owners. Can't recommend highly enough.
Very comfortable accommodation in a wonderful area.
The cottage was warm and clean and the upside down system works perfectly. It is also in a fantastic position in a beautiful area and the walking from the cottage is excellent.
Great location for walks along the river and to High Force right on the doorstep. Peaceful setting to chill and unwind in.
Gorgeous and unique cottage in a beautiful area, fantastic pub on the doorstep. This was our 5th visit and we look forward to the 6th!
Our third visit to this cottage, and we just love it, especially the location and privacy. Low Force is only 20 minutes walk, and the perfect place to watch the brave salmon leaping up the falls in October. Great place to chill out.
Perfect place to escape, great for walking and relaxing.
Beautiful outlook, friendly and helpful owners, great walks and a lovely stay.
Nice clean secluded cottage set in beautiful countryside. It was a very relaxing week.
The cottage more than lives up to the description and the owners are, quite simply, lovely people. I went there to find peace and solitude to write and found inspiration, I can't wait to return!
I booked Shepherd's Cottage as I needed solitude to write, and what I found was magnificent isolation! The cottage lived up to all of my hopes and then some. The owner and her daughter were lovely - not minding that I didn't arrive until the evening and lending me a hairdryer. The food at the local pub was brilliant. Well done to the Scott family for providing such a wonderful holiday cottage, I can't wait to get back there. I've been telling everyone I know about Shepherd's Cottage and how wonderful it is.
The proximity of the cottage to the Pennine Way was an unexpected bonus. The location of Shepherd's Cottage made it an ideal getaway. The friendliness of our hosts and everyone we met made the entire experience a relaxing and positive experience.
We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the wonderful scenery.
Cosy and clean. Liked the fact we were away from everyone.
Quaint, cosy and fantastic location.
A lovely cottage, very clean, comfortable and we received a warm welcome from the owners.
A perfect setting for a completely peaceful and restful holiday. The owners were lovely people. There was nothing we did not like.
It was so peaceful and the surroundings were fantastic. If you like being in the middle of nowhere (which we do) it was ideal.
The property was so well looked after and clean and cosy. The location was fantastic - great for walks!
Extremely clean, nice surroundings very pleasant indeed.
A very relaxing holiday. It was our third visit to Shepherds cottage and we hope to return for our fourth at the end of the year. The owners leave you in peace but you know they are always there if you need them. The perfect kind of hosts, the perfect holiday.
We had a delightful holiday, we last came in 2004 and now with teenage boys 6 years later, we made the most of the wonderful walks. The scenery was spectacular and the weather was kind to us. We would highly recommend this holiday for anyone who likes the great out doors. This was a great half term away from the rat race!
Relaxing time in very pleasant surroundings - the property and area. This is about the 9th or 10th time I've been to the owners' properties which include not only Shepherds Cottage but also Meadows Edge. The properties are always comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners are lovely people, always very helpful and cannot do enough for you.
The owners left us alone giving us the ability to totally relax for the period of our stay. Total isolation and not over looked. Perfect for wild life and looking at the stars. A perfect escape away from it all place!
This cottage is a real gem - perfect for getting away from it all in a beautiful location. The pictures don't do it justice. Great for active walkers and people like us who just wanted to chill out for a week in lovely peaceful surroundings.
Wonderful walks along the River Tees straight from the door. The owners were very helpful
Middle of nowhere, fabulous walking, was so much nicer than how it was advertised, not enough was made of it!
The brochure does not do the property justice. It was great to be in the middle of a field with only sheep as neighbours!
Everything - the cottage was isolated with sheep for neighbours! We enjoyed the tranquility and the wonderful scenery, walks from the door if you didn't want to drive anywhere - an excellent base if you did. This was our first visit to Teesdale and we would definitely stay there again. Sykes as ever were very helpful, polite and friendly - an excellent service.
Extremely quiet location. Very good for a walking holiday.
Everything! We had a wonderful time, the owners made us feel very welcome.
The quietness and the lovely scenery, complete tranquility. Also the fabulous walks close by, hope to visit again soon.
Nice and quiet.
We have been to this property several times. It was the usual excellent holiday.
A lovely, cosy barn which was well appointed and set in a beautiful, peaceful location. There were lots of walks on the doorstep but it was also an ideal touring base.
We were made to feel very welcome throughout our stay. The location of the cottage, lovely views and solitude coupled with the fact that all amenities were nearby made this the ideal location for the peace and quiet we were hoping for.
Lovely cottage.
The perfect place to escape from city life!
Peace and quiet, plenty of time to relax and enjoy nature with plenty of walks right from the doorstep.
Didn't need the car apart from the odd bit of food shopping
The owners family were very welcoming and we loved being there during their lambing season. The cottage was remote and very peaceful with fantastic walks from the doorstep. We loved every minute of it!
We enjoyed the warmth and cosyness of the cottage. We were made to feel very much at home and waking up to such beautiful surroundings everyday was an absolute pleasure!
It was secluded as described and the scenery was great. A great place to go for peace and quiet. Plenty of walks to choose from with some very dramatic scenery. The people who own the farm are very friendly
An ideal location for both complete relaxation and a walking holiday.
The property matched the description provided and therefore met our expectations. The remoteness meant that there was an opportunity to enjoy the quietness, lovely views and surrounding nature without interruption. As the cottage is located in an open field we were not overlooked and the dog had a massive area of open land to run in.
Overall, the holiday was very relaxing and enjoyable with plenty of local walks which we thoroughly enjoyed.
A lovely location.
Quiet secluded spot, good views and warm comfortable cottage.
A real getaway-from-it-all holiday. Off the beaten track, but still very accessible.
A holiday cottage suitable for any type of holiday, be it relaxing or going out and about walking.
Property great for young and older holiday makers, the area outstanding, we have had 5 cottages with Sykes and never once been let down. Keep up the good work you do, your standard of properties are first class.
Second time we've been and it was better than before. Felt like coming home.
Fantastic setting, excellent walks and hospitality from owners. Food in the Farmhouse Kitchen good value and delicious
The converted barn is set in a meadow beside the Pennine Way - so views and surroundings were superb. I actually saw a deer crossing our field. It's really peacefull. It was ideal for 2 couples.
We loved the fields and freedom that came with the property, also the close proximity to the Penine Way. The owners were totally unobtrusive but around if we had needed them, very relaxing.
A relaxing but accessible property. Very comfortable and well equipped. I will return here definitely.
Peaceful, great walks & cycling, from easy to challenging. Great pub in walking distance & a very friendly welcome from our hosts.
A really nice cottage in a beautiful part of the world - we will go back again
We were so pleased with this property that my parents-in-law booked a holiday within 1 hour of our arrival for may bank holiday week. The owners were so friendly, it was like coming home. We spent a wonderful week relaxing, walking and watching in anticipatient for the lambs being to be born, non of which failed. Many thanks to Sykes Cottages and to the owners. We will definately be back.
