"A wonderful cottage."
Warm clean and cosy. The beds were so comfortable with lovely bedding. The cottage was well equipped.There is no Wi-Fi, but that means you can really relax. The location is spectacular, with view over the fields, reservoir and hills. The ample sized garden is completely dog secure and the property is very dog friendly. The peace and quiet makes this cottage very special. I would certainly book again.

"Absolutely loved it."
The views were amazing as they changed with the weather it was beautiful especially the sheep being there all the time. The cottage was lovely they had provided everything such as washing up Liquid, tea towels and much more and the bed was really comfy. We went out every day as there were lots of things to do and see and my 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed it We would go here again and will probably go back next year

"This cottage was one of the nicest places I have stayed in."
It had everything that we needed The location was totaly secluded so peaceful. The owners were next door but didn’t intrude at all. I wouldn’t hesitate in receiving anyone to stay there.
-
"This was our 2nd visit to Hury Lodge and I'm sure we will be back!"
The cottage is ideally situated to explore teesdale and the surrounding area. The cottage has everything you need and a stunning view.
-
"We had a lovely time."
The local area was stunning.really away from it all.the very low beam going into the double bedroom should have been mentioned in the description.made life difficult as we are elderly.
-
"This was a lovely cosy cottage with splendid views."
The walks from the door were superb. The owners live next door but do not intrude and the place felt completely private - but they are there if you need them. The back garden is dog proof. Pleasant three mile walks (can easily do a circular walk) to a decent pub
-
"We had a lovely few days at the lodge with our dogs."
The views are spectacular ( especially in the snow !) , very private , in-fact the photographs don’t do it justice. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the cottage was well equipped . The local farmers and other cottage owners were also very friendly and the roads were kept clear in the snow making it easy to explore the area. We would love to return in the future !

"Lovely chill holiday at Hury Lodge."
Lovely little snug lounge very cosy. Everything there that we needed. Nice and clean. Bedroom - bed very comfortable. Kitchen lovely and everything anybody would need. Dining area - what can I say apart from WHAT A VIEW looking out from the large window - absolutely stunning. We didn't get to use the garden unfortunately as the weather was atrocious for all the time we were there nothing but rain and high winds but we wanted a chill break and that is what we had. Found a few friendly pubs too. Would recommend definitely.

"Nice and quiet very cosy lovely places to visit would highly recommend."

"We enjoyed our stay at Hury Lodge,the only thing lacking was the bathroom,it needs a upgrade, I found it very hard to use the bath,there were no grips or bath mat,needed for older people,and the cleanliness was sadly missing,the shower was fine,but the bath itself was not clean,(but could just need replacing)."
...It’s a shame because the Lodge itself,is in such a nice area, and comfy,but anyone with any disability or more elderly would find the Lodge bathroom hard to navigate.
-

"Lovely cottage, lovely peaceful location."
Owners very kind and helpful.

"My husband and myself had a very enjoyable week at Hury Lodge, and envision coming back in the summer to enjoy the lovely views of Hury Reservoir from the garden."
Having an enclosed garden was excellent for our dog to be out and about…The cottage was so cosy and had a lovely “feel” to it! Thank you to the owners!
-
"Cottage was as described and very clean and tidy."
We stayed over Christmas in which the owners left some mince pies and prosecco which was a very nice touch and greatly appreciated.
-

"Nice property in a quiet location."
Plenty to do in the area with Beamish museum, Barnard Castle, nearby and walks a plenty in both the wear and tees valleys . Intermittent WiFi but that actually made the trip better , no phone zombies, card games and talking ensued. We would return gladly.
-
"We had a fantastic week in Hury lodge, the setting was beautiful."

"My father and I had a lovely week at Hury Lodge and were very sad to leave."
The cottage was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. It is in a wonderful location with amazing views. The garden and surrounding area was full of birds and many an hour could be spent just sat in the garden or porch watching them. There are walks straight from the door on the very quiet lanes and footpaths. A walk up the lane above the cottage past Howgill Grange and Botany farms gives amazing 360 degree views. Hannah's meadow nature reserve is a pleasant walk along the road and back along the reservoir. We also enjoyed a walk along the Tees Railway path from Mickleton to Middleton in Teesdale too where we had a very good a lunch at Forrester's French restaurant and bar. Thank you to Ali and Chris for a wonderful week. We would definitely love to return.
-
"Lovely scenery, lots of good walks."
-
"Idyllic is not a word I use often but this cottage certainly is."

-
"Lovely well equipped little cottage more than enough space for the four of us, very peaceful just what we all needed."
Not pestered by the owners but they were close enough by had we needed anything. We will definitely recommend
-
"Lovely week at Hury,Cottage was immaculate made to feel very welcome would love to back one day"
-
"Hury Lodge is cosy with wonderful views over the reservoir."
Communication with the owner was excellent and we had a safe, contactless entry & departure. Everything was very clean and comfortable. It was great having the enclosed garden for our 2 dogs, sadly not the weather for a BBQ, although one is provided. A very enjoyable stay overall!
-
"The cottage is compact, well heated with a fantastic view of the reservoir."
A broad selection of utensils were available but missing a basic few. It was disappointing to find the TV was not working, something that should have been identified and rectified before we arrived. We found our phones were not getting good reception, so, after a texted conversation relating to the internet access and code given for access not working and requests for assistance with the TV, both were resolved by the owners when they returned. Simple things like a tea strainer or cafetiere would have been helpful as making fresh coffee was a bit of a challenge with nothing to stop the coffee ground when pouring.
-
"When you go away in November your not expecting fantastic weather, so staying at Hury lodge was an absolute delight for those rainy days where you could cosy up with a good book and look out the window to the wonderful view of the reservoir."
Also makes for a good walk, though a bit muddy with all the rain over the last week. This is very well equipped cottage with a good range of kitchen utensils, books etc. Nice touch having milk and cake there on arrival, thank you. I have a Jack Russell terrier which I felt was saver keeping on a lead when ever we were outside as there are sheep in the fields around the cottage. Beautiful countryside with lots to explore, would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.
-
"The cottage was ideal for a familly of four, perfect fit for holiday plan in middle of nature"
-
"A well equipped, small relaxing cottage in a beautiful landscape with good views."
An enclosed space for the dog with quiet lanes and footpaths on which to walk him. Be sensible though, lots of sheep in fields so dogs always on a lead. A week not enough to explore and discover everything so hope to return sometime. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
-
"Hury lodge is a beautiful little cottage, we enjoyed two days in lovely countryside, peaceful and quiet."
Some nice walks for us and our two dogs. we all enjoyed it so much we will be back again in the summer. thank you for a brilliant two days.
-

"Wonderfully remote."
Pretty cottage. Beautiful setting. Fabulous view. Well maintained property and garden. Good quality furniture. Everything needed was provided. Great location for Base Camp! Barnard Castle...Bowes Museum...Swale Dale... Richmond...all within driving distance....Fox and Hounds pub nearby do great meals. The only things I'd change? Better quality mattress on the double bed, scourer for washing up, outside bin...washing machine but these are minor gripes. Wonderful place for relaxing. Thank you
-

"This was I think our fourth visit to Hury, hence my expectations are met rather than exceeded!"
It is a lovely place where we are guaranteed a peaceful stay. It's very good for my elderly father - we love the view across the reservoir with ever-changing clouds and light, and easy short walks from the house.

It is in a wonderful location overlooking Hury Reservoir and is quiet and peaceful. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the owners who live adjoining were very friendly and helpful. I have no doubt we will return to this cottage in the future.

"Our second visit."
. Cottage is very warm and cosy with all facilities provided. Small garden, ideal for small children and dogs. Views are spectacular and as based in Durham Dales but close to Cumbria and Yorkshire Dales the cottage is surrounded by stunning scenery. Owners very friendly and welcoming. We don't often go to same cottage twice as there are so many to choose from but in this case we will definitely be planning a third visit! Highly recommend.
-
"What a fabulous clean and well maintained cottage with stunning views."
Cosy and warm. The simple things like a bottle of cava and party poppers awaited us to celebrate the New Year. Certainly recommended. Owners got in touch as soon as we contacted them re key collection. Would certainly return.

About the location
BALDERSDALE
Barnard Castle 9.3 miles.
A dale branching off Teesdale, Baldersdale is made up of a small cluster of hamlets and farm dwellings overlooking the reservoirs of Hury, Blackton and Balderhead. Baldersdale came to fame as the home of Hannah Hauxwell, who featured on television in the 1970s for single-handedly running her farm from her home, which had no running water. 'Hannah's Meadow' is now managed by Durham Wildlife Trust as a nature reserve. The village of Romaldkirk is nearby, one of the most unspoilt villages in Teesdale, with pretty greens, old stone cottages, a beautiful old church and two pubs, one of which won AA Pub of the Year for England in 2003 and serves excellent restaurant and bar meals. The area is surrounded by breathtaking Dales countryside and makes an ideal base for walking and touring throughout North Yorkshire and the Yorkshire Dales, with superb fell, flat and river walks and cycle rides available from the doorstep. The northern Lakes and the cities of Durham and Newcastle are all within easy driving distance, whilst the ancient market town of Barnard Castle, with its many historical and cultural attractions, is just a 15 minute drive away.
