Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"This is a beautiful and well equipped cottage in a stunning location."
The cottage is finished to a high standard, is comfortable and warm. The host left thoughtful gifts on arrival which were very much appreciated and a lovely touch. Middleton is beautiful and friendly, award winning fish and chip shop just across the road and co-op around the corner. We all absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely return.
We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to hosting you again!

"We had a lovely stay at 15 Market Place recently in June."
The cottage was located right in the centre of Middleton-in-Teesdale, so it was very e ll located and handy for the shops, pubs and restaurants.
It had a lot of character but was very modern and tastefully decorated inside. It has two good-sized double bedrooms and a small single room, each one very comfortably decorated.
It had everything you’d need and a good patio for the dog and sitting outside. We were lucky that the weather was gorgeous the weekend we stayed so that made it even better.
Well done to the owners. We loved it!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 15 Market Place and appreciated the central location and tasteful decor. It's great to know that the cottage met your needs and that you had such lovely weather to enjoy the patio. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

"Our second visit to this lovely property."
The house was spotless a real credit to the cleaning company. The kitchen/dining area is excellent in particular the large fridge/freezer and log burner. The outside loo is a bonus and lovely and warm. The beds are super comfortable. We love this town, enough shops for essentials, Kayleighs cafe for coffee and cake, a great chippy and the hotel good for an evening drink. Great dog walks in the woods right on your doorstep. Barny is only 10 miles away, but a lovely drive as no traffic, on the excellent roads.

"This is a lovely property in a perfect location with everything you need both in the cottage itself and within easy reach."
The people in Middletown are friendly and welcoming and it is a beautiful village to visit.
We had an issue with the hob as there are no instructions, I did eventually work it out for myself but the neighbour offered to let us use his hob, how kind is that?
Before we left I hoovered the property, as we have a dog and always aim to leave the property clean and tidy, there was rather a lot of dirt and dust behind the sofas, including a rogue malteser, which definitely wasn't ours!
We did have a lovely stay though and would definitely recommend this cottage and will be back.
Thank you for your kind words about The Cobblers! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the cottage and found everything you needed. It's great to hear that the village and its people made your stay special.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the hob situation and have taken your comments on board. Also, thank you for your efforts in keeping the place clean and tidy – it means a lot to us.
We're delighted that you had a lovely stay and are considering a return. Your recommendation is truly appreciated. We look forward to hosting you again and ensuring another enjoyable experience.
