Great stay in a lovely property with beautiful views. We were very fortunate with the weather and were able to take advantage of the hot tub. The very generous welcome pack covered all our needs on arrival and after.
Gemma
Absolutely amazing place, spotlessly clean, very homely, wish we could have stayed longer. Amazing views. Had everything we needed such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, plenty of blankets/towels & lovely welcome basket of treats to add a special touch. Would highly recommend this property.
Kaitlyn
The property and location were amazing. We had everything we needed for a really good weekend. The garden was completely secure meaning our dogs were safe and the kitchen was very well stocked with more than enough to accommodate the 10 of us. We will happily be back in the future.
Kevin
This is the best holiday home we have ever been to. The welcome pack on arrival, the hot tub, the immaculate house, it has everything that you could possibly need . We spent two nights, as a family of 9, enjoying every moment in this stunning property with its picturesque scenery. Our next visit we are organising now.
Gillian Jeanne
We as a family (ages ranging form 18 months to 70 years young) had a fabulous holiday, the cottage was stunning as were the views. the more agile of us did some Stand up Paddleboarding and Canyoning, and we all at some point got to Low and High Force . The walk down to Fox and Hounds was great a lovely welcoming pub. The cottage was absolutely wondRead moreerful, each room was superb and the space in the living dining room was much larger than expected , A great space for games, or quiet times .Thanks. Hide
Virginia
The cottage was lovely and in a beautiful setting. It was very comfortable, clean and well equipped, perfect for a group of 5 couples to share, although the twin room is really for children and not adults so mind your heads! The hot tub was fantastic, stunning views from the patio and beautiful walks from the doorstep.
Sarah
A gem of a house in a wonderful, peaceful and picturesque location. The house is gorgeous and spacious, beautifully decorated and everything to the highest of standards. We had a wonderful week (three generations and a dog). Thank you!
Judith
Skyline is a stunning property in an equally stunning location. The bedrooms were cosy, comfortable and beautifully appointed. The open plan kitchen and living space works really well for a family holiday or stay with friends. Every aspect has been thoughtfully designed and planned out. The quality of the furnishings and kitchen equipment was of a Read morevery high standard. The views are stunning and the house is south facing so the patio is a great outdoor space to spend time when the sun is out! Hide

Really nicely converted barn with all modern comforts. Well appointed property with comfortable and clean accommodation. Nice welcome pack was much appreciated. We will book this one again
Kay
Beautifully furnished, well equipped holiday let. The dreary weather was the only thing that didnt live up to our expectations. Would love to visit again hopefully when the suns out to take full advantage of the gorgeous view.
Elizabeth
Fabulous cottage in stunning location.
Margaret
A hidden gem perfect in every way for a large family gathering. Fantastic break away
Delwyn
This is a lovely property and could not find fault with anything. The owner was also very accommodating and prompt with a response when we contacted her with a couple of queries prior to our stay. Overall would recommend this for a relaxing break in lovely surroundings.
Jade
A stunning house in a beautiful location, this was the perfect place for my family to spend Christmas together. It was tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and in perfect condition. We didnt want to leave
Mandy
Beautiful house absolutely spotless
Elaine
Beautiful 5 star cottage, immaculate and everything you need, amazing views and outside space, spacious, comfortable and beautiful decor. Nice walk but you will need suitable foot wear as pathways quite steep and uneven, not suitable for prams or wheelchairs, two pubs in nearby in cotherstone village a good 15 minute walk down a steep hill and overRead more a couple of bridges, uneven paths. Hide
Samantha
Skyline is superb! We were a family of 10 adults, a one year old and 2 dogs! Plenty of space. Facilities were excellent in every room! Would definitely book again. Hot tub and bbq were used a lot - and the views were breathtaking.
Suzanne
We had a great holiday in Skyline. House immaculate and scenery/views stunning. Plenty of space for 10 people and a dog. Lovely river walks from the doorstep and good grass area for kids to play outside. Comfy beds and sofas and all bedrooms being en suite was great. As per pre-holiday instructions, the long driveway to the house is uneven so take it steady. Outside space is lovely with large enclosed patio, hot tub, seating and bbq which 3 generations all made the most of. We had a great time
Ruth
House had everything we needed, hot tub finished it off for us, very dog friendly with loads of walks from the doorstep. Lovely walk to Cotherstone and a nice pub. Really liked the food at the Old Well in Barnard Castle. Raby Castle has a great deer park. We always do a family come dine with me and Skyline had everything we could want.
Stephen
The property setting was great. The property was well appointed and welcoming. Very comfortable beds. Very well equipped. Very little to find fault with. Twin bedroom really only suitable for children.

26th May -2ndJune We had a perfect week in this amazing barn, the sun shone, we had everything we needed, were extremely comfortable, lovely beds, great en- suites and the layout downstairs was perfect. We were a family of 10, 3 generations and 3 dogs. The area was amazing so much to do within 1/2hr and lovely walks to the river straight from the d oor. Will recommend to friends a perfect find. Sarah David and family.

Had a lovely time at the cottage, beautifully renovated with lots of character and a real homely feel. Would 100% book again
Ian
The cottage worked well for me as a paraplegic, manual wheelchair user, needing wheelchair access on the ground floor with an accessible wet room with a shower. I did have non wheelchair user friends with me who helped a great deal.
Philip
Wonderful stylish and comfortable barn conversion, finished to an extremely high standard. Lovely outside area with stunning views. Although living space and kitchen is open plan, it is huge with plenty of seating areas. Beds were extremely comfortable. Lovely 10 min walk through caravan site to Cotherstone Village which has a couple of pubs. Great dog friendly walk from Cotherstone (starts behind the Fox and Hounds pub) along old Tees Railway line into Romaldskirk. We loved our stay
Ann
Very stylish holiday home with hot tub which had the most spectacular views. Decor and furnishing were beautiful and a very practical kitchen to use for self-catering . The large walled patio area at rear was great to keep the dogs and toddlers in and also a hose was provided for cleaning muddy shoes, bikes and pram wheels. All bedroom were tastefu lly decorating with ensuite bathrooms. The whole house was very warm, very clean and highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a stunning location. It was finished to an exceptionally high standard inside and out, and was really well equipped. Short walk to the lovely village of Cotherstone where the pub serves a great Sunday lunch and the staff are really friendly.
Christine
A Beautiful spacious modern Barn conversion with everything finished to a very high standard all bedrooms had lovely en-suite shower rooms and one with a bath. We especially loved the open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area perfect for our mixed family, adults, children and dogs. The hot tub was large with beautiful views. We stayed for one week and enjoyed visiting local attractions especially the Bowes museum. The only issue we had was the drive down which has very large potholes.
Martina
Beautifully decorated for christmas. A large living space that felt cosy and warm. Comfortable beds and seating areas. Ample supply if glasses and crockery. Could benefit from more space to store groceries. We all enjoyed the local countryside and the view from the hot tub!!!
David
Beautiful spacious accommodation with great views. Lots of quality finishes and details. Welcome pack appreciated.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

Absolutely gorgeous house with ample room for 10 people and 3 dogs. Road to property rough in parts but property is worth the drive. Beautiful views from patio/hot tub. Welcome pack exceptional. Extremely well stocked crockery/kitchenware/towels etc. Property was lovely and warm, very clean, and very welcoming. Lots of places to visit in area and p ub a mile walk away (Fox & Hounds in Cotherstone), serves excellent Sunday roast. Hope to be back one day.
Christine
Fantastic place to stay. The house itself is stunning - immaculately presented and furnished beautifully. The views from the house are also breathtaking! Plenty of walks locally for the doggies and within easy reach of days out for all the family. A great place for coming together, we had a fabulous holiday and would definitely come back!
Tim
We had a party of 8, coming back for our second year : everyone has said it is a great place. We particularly liked the large amount of space in the rooms, the high quality bedding, fittings and decor. The setting could not be better with a great view and quiet location. We walked over to the pub in Cotherstone one evening and enjoyed that. The hot tub, right next to the house, was much appreciated. Lots of great walks nearby; Barnard Castle, especially Bowes Museum, is very much worth visiting

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.
