We had a lovely stay at the cottage! Itâ€™s really spacious and super clean, which we appreciated. The countryside views from the back are stunning and definitely a highlight. The beds and sofas were comfyand the shower worked a treat. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of crockery, so no complaints there. The only downside was the main TVâ€™s reception - it kept cutting out and wasnâ€™t great for music. Still, the location is perfect for exploring the village and nearby amenities. Overall, weâ€™d come back!

We've been coming back to Oaklea for the third time nowand it never disappoints. The place is super comfy and perfect for exploring, whether by car or just on foot. We loved Saltburn and Redcarand enjoyed a walk around Hardwick Hall. The Pickled Parson in Sedgefield is a great spot for dog-friendly meals!

We had a lovely New Year at Oaklea with six of us and two dogs. The house was really cosy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was straightforward to useand Judith was super helpful with lots of info and quick contact. Our dogs loved the enclosed gardenand there are plenty of walks nearby. Pickle the parson is very dog-friendly and adds to the great vibe. We also enjoyed the Indian restaurant, LRead moree Raaj, which is a must-visitand the little Sicily at Black Lion for fab food and cocktails. The cakes and breakfast at No 4 Teashop Hide are spot on too!

This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire. Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour. You will have the chance to bottle feed the lambs, bath a pig and handle some of the smaller animals. Kids will love the big sandpit and the outdoor play area. There is also a cafe and indoor play area for when the weather is not on your side.
