"Our second visit and this cottage is perfect in every way."
Situated in the most beautiful and relaxing landscape a true home from home. The cottage is so well equipped, attention to detail is fantastic and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Caroline is by far the best host. The hot tub is a wonderful addition to sit and watch the beautiful surroundings. Wonderful, we will return again and again. Definitely our number 1 favourite.

Lots to do in the area and the hot tub was a bonus.

"It was a very well maintained and equipped cottage with lush bedding."
Fantastic host who made you feel very welcomed with a welcome basket and milk in the fridge. The hot tub was a nice treat especially with the lovely views around the cottage. A beautiful base if you want a relaxed holiday to enjoy the amazing beauty of this part of the world. We would certainly return to this cottage again.

"My girlfriend and I recently spent an absolutely idyllic week at the beautiful Crossthwaite Cottage, the location is fabulous, views are to die for and the property itself is stunning."
We tend to have a week away every month through the summer so have stayed at quite a lot of different properties but this easily goes into our top 3, if the wifi was better it would probably go into first place ha ha! (my girlfriend has to have zoom meetings and connection wasn't the best unfortunately). Needless to say we will be making this a regular destination, we are actually back there in September and can't wait!
-
"A good, well looked after Cottage in a lovely location."

-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage."

"A brilliant well equipped cottage, nothing not to like."
Cosy in a great location the village was very Christmassy local butchers is great. The whole week was great, snow on arrival wildlife of all kinds ( please feed the robin ). The cottage has everything you'll need. The Christmas tree and decorations a nice surprise on arrival. We have booked many cottages around the country over the years none compare to this will definately be coming back.
-
"The most amazing cottage we've ever stayed in."
Clean, comfortable, everything you need for a home from home stay including the added bonus of the hot tub. The location us spot on. So much to do in the surrounding areas and the town is so friendly. We're already looking at when we can return!
-
"Then cottage was very comfy with great facilities wi fi hot tub washing machine and all you would need for a relaxing break."
I would recommend it to my friends anytime.
-
"This was our second visit to this wonderful cottage."
As before everything was perfect! Stunning views, beautiful garden, everything you need is provided. And the beds are SO comfy! By far my favourite of all the holiday cottages we've stayed in.
-
"A lovely weeks holiday in a lovely relaxing cottage."
From when we arrived (even although it was downpour that evening) until we left, we felt so comfortable & relaxed, cottage was of very high standard, very clean & a lovely welcome pack as well. Nearby village, 10 mins walk, had nice places for coffee & cake & places for lunch/dinner. Plenty of walks around & a very nice hot tub to relax in later in evening
-
"One of the best cottages we have stayed at."

"Great place to stay."
The cottage was well appointed, comfortable and had all the necessary essentials for self catering. Welcome pack was very much appreciated. Superb views across Crossthwaite Beck to Middleton in Teesdale with lots of wildlife to see, noted the unmistakeable curlew and cuckoo calls. The cottage location enabled us to visit Durham (probably a 2 day visit to do it all), Barnard Castle, Bowes Museum, Beamish Museum, Eggleston Hall Gardens (the Café is great too), Raby Castle and High and Low Force waterfalls. Further afield Beatrix Potter Hill Top Farm, Wray Castle and of course the Lakes. Plenty of walks to follow and see the local scenery including parts of the Pennine Way.
-
"A delightful clean and comfortable cottage."
Fantastic outlook, very peaceful with walks from the cottage. Great information and maps on local walks provided . A lovely welcome pack on arrival.
-
"Absolutely perfect in all respects."
-
"East Crossthwaite is still my favourite Cottage and location to stay for a complete relax and restore break."
Ticks all the boxes providing , peaceful, private, away from it all comfortable and cosy accommodation. Great views from every window. Outside gardens and all areas around the property are very well kept and magical at night, with fairy lights scattered around. There’s beautiful views of the fells and an abundance of wildlife .The hot tub area under a pergola is great and comes with great views. The Owners are the nicest people too. It’s unbeatable! Can’t wait to book again
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at East Crossthwaite Cottage!"
A very comfortable place to relax after a walk, do a spot of bird watching and to chill. The villagers are very welcoming and a wealth of knowledge on the area.
-
"Just got back from a weeks stay and we had a brilliant time would definitely go back."
Cottage is beautiful, everything has been thought about and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Very clean and modern inside, beds very comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. My only small negative is that I found the pictures of the garden on the listing quite deceptive, it looks as though it has a lot of land attached at the back but in reality the garden is a very small patch of grass up some stone steps. We didn’t need to contact the owners about anything Caroline was very helpful on email before we arrived with arrival instructions etc.
-
"A beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location."
Plenty of walks and lovely views just on the doorstep. Perfect if you want to relax and recharge your batteries. Would love to come back in the future to explore more walking routes. Highly recommended!
-
"I loved our stay at East Crossthwaite Cottage."
Location was great near to local walks and the village and it's amenities was a short walk away. Loved the hot tub and it was cosy being able to have a log fire in the evening from the log burner.
-
"A fantastic cottage in a superb location."
A well equipped cottage with many homely and thoughtful touches. We really appreciated details of walks from the doorstep. The hot tub was very welcoming after a days walking
-
"One of my favourite cottages I've stayed at."
Very nicely kept and lovely furnishings. Nice fire, and hot tub is fab. It's a beautiful area and the cottage is very nicely secluded (the road it's on is a dead end so it's quiet). The view is beautiful. But also the cottage owners have taken great care in making everything easy, with individual instructions for appliances right next to each device (so much nicer than one big book, others should take note!) which gave me confidence and was very accessible. Lovely welcome basket. We were there in January so even the rain didn't dampen our time there, that's how lovely it is. Just loved it.
-
"Relaxing and peaceful stay We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location, being from a busy city this was what we both wanted and it didn't disappoint."
The cottage was much prettier than the photos show, the owners had thought of everything to make our stay fabulous. A lovely welcome pack on arrival and the hot tub was ready to use. We really enjoyed that and the wood burner made the living room really cosy. There were great walks to do locally, we will definitely be booking here again.
-
"A stunning cotage in a very beautiful part of the world."
So much attention to detail in every room. Quite simply, we didn't want to leave and have booked again.
-
"The cottage is lovely, in an idyllic location and was equipped with everything we could need."
Everything was clean, the candles and fairy lights on arrival, as well as a hamper of wine and cookies etc made us feel welcome. The beds were super-comfy and we enjoyed having the wood burner on an evening. The children enjoyed watching the abundance of birds in the garden and even spotted a weasel. Thanks for a great week
-
"One of the best of many cottages we have rented over the last 40 years."
It was well equipped and very comfortable with good control of heating and parking at the door. The surrounding area has endless interesting walks, wildlife and places of historical interest.
-
"Fantastic cottage."
Warm, private and a bonus of a hot tub. Abundance of wildlife and walks right on your doorstep. Cant recommend this cottage enough
-
"The cottage nestles so perfectly into it’s surroundings."
The views are stunning. Perfect location for peace and quiet yet close enough to places of interest to visit. The cottage itself is very well appointed and inviting with a good selection of kitchen equipment, comfortable beds and nice furniture, all very clean and well presented.
-
"Our stay could not have been more perfect."
Caroline has thought of everything! We cooked a few times and found everything we could have possibly needed. The attention to detail is faultless. The setting is idyllic and was exactly what we wanted though now we’re back in the city, the noise here is even more noticeable! Middleton is a short and pleasant walk away and has everything you could need. Make sure you try out the fish and chips. There’s lots to do in the area with or without kids. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
-
"A lovely cottage with wonderful facilities."
We received a welcome box upon arrival, which is always a lovely touch. The views are spectacular and the hot tub is an added luxury bonus that allows you to soak in the scenery. We will book again and do highly recommend it. Thank you for making us feel welcome.
-
"We had a fantastic week in this wonderful, well equipped and cosy cottage."
Loads of little extra touches made it all the more special. Great location, fantastic views and walks straight from the doorstep. The hot tub was an added bonus too and the lovely welcome pack was hugely appreciated. Thank you.
-
"Absolutely wonderful cottage everything you need plus more in the most beautiful setting."
We were so gutted to go home. Loved the feel of been in the middle of no where but only ten min walk from the village. 10/10 loved my stay would recommend!!!
-
"Lovely!! Comfortable, homely, well equipped kitchen"
. Hot tub was a bonus. Good walking and cycling area.
-
"Absolutely stunning cottage in a stunning location we wanted for nothing in this amazingly well equipped house."
Owners absolutely brilliant nothing too much trouble. All amenities just a 15 minute walk away especially the fish and chip shop that good we went twice. Fantastic walking country and less than an hour to durham and Darlington too. Spent many hours sat in the garden and hot tub just staring across the valley that changes scenery every time the weather changes. Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to get away to a relaxing picturesque place hoping to be back next year.
-
"Stay at this cottage & you’ll want for absolutely nothing!"
! Comfortable, clean, quiet & just absolute bliss, especially having the hot tub to use & an open fire - we’ve already booked to go back!! It is without doubt faultless!! You’ve got to try the fish & chip shop in the village - they are the best we’ve had anywhere in a long time & you must visit High Force - well worth the visit. Barnard Castle is a lovely town with plenty of shops, a Morrisons & a Co-Op for petrol/diesel just outside the town.
-
"Very clean."
Spa was a treat to come home too in the evening. Rain or shine. Very nice people who own it. Plenty to do. Shops are not to far.
-
"The cottage is idyllic!"
Such a lovely place to stay, isolated but still near to amenities. Clean and tidy, hosts were amazing, called in on the first night to make sure everything ok then left us in peace for the remainder of our stay, but we knew we could contact if needed. Would definitely return
-
"What an amazing cottage, spotlessly clean with absolutely everything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect."
I cooked a few times and everything was at hand that you could ever need. Beautiful walks from the doorstep and owls outside the back door! Caroline the owner was brill, she checked in with us the first evening and gave us walk advice! The welcome pack was a lovely thought and much appreciated. We will definitely be rebooking this cottage and would highly recommend to friends and family!
-
"Lovely accomodation."
Very clean and well equipped. Caroline very knowledgeable about the walks. Hot tub definitely a bonus after our long walks. Very quiet if that's what you like, which we did. Some teenagers might find it alittle too quiet and no internet signal at times which our boys found difficult to start. Local food store well stocked for our needs. We had a well deserved break.
-
"The cottage was exceptional, very clean and everything you could ever need to make a perfect holiday was provided."
Middleton in Teesdale is a beautiful village and the views are stunning.
-
"Fabulous cottage in a beautiful setting."
Well equipped and very homely with perfect views across the countryside. Lots of lovely walks around about and fab French restaurant in the village.
-
"Wonderful cottage, comfortable and cosy with a lovely garden in a glorious setting."
Walk from the door to Low and High Falls or just up onto the hill behind. No near neighbours yet an easy walk to Middleton for pubs, shops and a great fish and chip shop.
-
"Upper Teesdale isn't the immediate place to think about having a holiday but if you like the outdoor life, it is a great place to go."
Ideal location - remote tho easily accessible, lovely facilities, great hosts and lots of things to do on your doorstep. A memorable holiday.
-
"A fantastic cottage in a great location."
The cottage is just a 15-20 min walk to the local village which has a nice pub, restaurant, a small Co-op and a couple of cafes. It's a great base for exploring the local area. The cottage itself is very clean and modern. The hot tub is a great addition- especially as it has a fantastic view. Would definitely recommend.
-
"This cottage is brilliantly situated, totally stands alone, the nearest neighbours are over half a mile away but then you are only a mile from the village where the villagers are very friendly and helpful."
The views from the cottage are outstanding, I could not wait to wake up on a morning, looking at the views and watching the animals and birds. The owner is very friendly and helpful and had lots of advice on the different walks we could do. There was the Pennine way if you want a long walk or short walk depending how you feel and then there was an old railway line with again short or long walks which connected the villages. The hot tub was an added bonus to help relax after the walking. The cottage is well equipped and to a high standard in the kitchen and the bedding, the beds were so comfortable. Kim & Paul
-
"Fantastic location and cottage, Felt remote but also just a mile away from supermarket and town."
Stunning views from windows, spent ages just looking at nature walking past. Didn’t recognise some of it. A gem!
-
"An excellent comfortable cottage in a very scenic area."
Lots of walks available from the doorstep. Hot tub facility very appealing at the end of a long walk. A good centre for exploring the Durham Area. Good local faclities nearby and in Barnard Castle.
-
"Great cottage and owners couldn’t do any more for you."
Loved our stay.
-
"Beautiful cottage, with everything we needed."
Lovely views, good WiFi, excellent location. Can't wait to return!
-
"Absolutely fabulous well equipped cottage."
.Beautiful location and fantastic views. Lots of lovely walks and bike rides around the area and Barnard Castle is definitely worth a visit if you like antique shops..The owners of the cottage have thought of absolutely everything and left the loveliest welcome pack I've ever seen in any holiday cottage. Highly recommend for a special holiday if you want peace and fabulous views.
-
"We loved the cottage."

-
"Perfect in every way from start to finish."
Lovely quiet location with amenities in walking distance.
-
"What a lovely place to spend Christmas!"
The cottage was very well equipped, warm and cosy especially with the log burner. Beautiful surroundings and no neighbours... perfect! Thank you to the lovely owners.
-
"A stunning property, the owner even visited to ensure everything was to standard."
We couldn't have wished for more, everything was at hand, there was milk, sugar, coffee, tea bags and even a bottle of wine left for us - just sensational! The weather was a little inclement (which was expected) but to sit in the hot tub each early morning was a delight. We will certainly revisit, we could not fault the cottage at all. Caroline deserves a medal for the set up!
-
"Crossthwaite is one of the best all round cottages i’ve stayed in."
Me and and my Family all commented we felt very at home straight away here. I think this was down to the owner making us feel really welcomed on arrival by leaving a box of M&S goodies, wine and going the extra mile to make the house really warm and cosy with fairy lights and lamps on in the rooms and fire laid. The property is completely on its own with incredible views, which creates a wonderful peacefulness. It also makes using the hot tub so much more relaxing, knowing you are not overlooked. Clear starry nights in the tub are fantastic, looking up at the Milkyway! We loved it here so much here i booked to stay again on my 2nd day here!
-
"Absolutely excellent."
The setting was an ideal base for different walks in the area.The cottage was clean and well equipped.The hot tub was a godsend after a day of walking, very relaxing.We will be back.
-
"Eastcrossthwaite cottage is a beautiful little cottage in idyllic picturesque surroundings , the cottage owner Caroline goes above and beyond making sure her guests have everything they could possibly need , the welcome pack on arrival is such a special surprise ."
The hotub is a brilliant addition to enjoy after a day out exploring . The village of Middleton close by is a lovely little place where the locals make you feel very welcome . We ate locally for the whole weeks holiday in different places all were excellent places to dine out . I will most definitely be back to this gem of a cottage and wonderful area of teesdale .
-
"This cottage is amazing."
It's location is perfect, a mile from the village for amenities but rural for the peace and quiet and lovely views. Inside it is pristine and has everything you could need. The hot tub is fantastic after a day out exploring. We had a great time in this wonderful cottage.
-
"A lovely little cottage with the bonus of the hot tub with some good walks and if you are willing to drive some lovely little places to visit."
-
"This is a beautiful cottage in a lovely location, just what we were looking for."
The town of Middleton in Teesdale is a short walk away as is the Pennine way and High and Low Force waterfalls are just a little further. The owners have thought of everything and the hot tub was an excellent addition after a days walking. We will certainly be returning at some point in the future.
-
"Excellent cottage."
Beautiful views. Just as you see in the pictures. Everything you need for a fantastic, relaxing holiday.
-
"This cottage is FABULOUS it is in the most idyllic position just off a quiet road and the cottage is slightly elevated so you don't really see the road but it was so quiet too as it is a dead end road and you are surrounded by fields and the hot tub is looking out across fields too, the cottage is SPOTLESS and the owners are such lovely people."
They have thought of everything and some! We will definitely be returning here. Thanks S&J
-
"Having just enjoyed a weeks holiday in this lovely area, the owners, who live close by, provide an excellent cottage for your stay."
The cottage is clean, warm, well decorated and furnished, with many extras we haven't found in other self catering properties in over 20 years so its great credit to Caroline {the owner} who prepares the cottage for your holiday. The guest book speaks for itself. So nice to wake up in the morning to the sound of the curlew. Thankyou.
-
"An excellent property with a fantastic location."
I would highly recommend this property to future guests.
-
"A very comfortable, clean and extremely well presented cottage in a perfect location."
It feels remote, very peaceful with beautiful views but only a short distance to Middleton village that has a good range of shops and nice places to eat. The location is great for site seeing and the hot tub at the end of a day is the icing on the cake. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
-
"Charming clean, comfortable & well equipped cottage."
Stunning location in a beautiful area. Peaceful, get-away-from it all setting yet close to all local amenities in Middleton. Very friendly owners, nice welcome pack. Only niggle was a low pressure electric shower. Highly recommended.
-
"The cottage is beautifully presented."
The hot tub is an added bonus. It is set in a wonderful and peaceful landscape. The owner met us at the property and was very welcoming. I would absolutely recommend it. 10/10.
-
"Great cottage."
.everything has been thought of.. Hot Tub was lovely.. Everything so clean and tidy. Great location base to go sightseeing from.

-
"This is a lovely holiday cottage, everything you could wish for is there, great location, very peaceful with lovely views with only sheep and rabbits as neighbours."
The owner was lovely, who has put so much thought into providing a lovely holiday cottage.
-
"Absolutely loved the cottage."
The hot tub was fantastic - just a minor detail, a strong breeze from the moors created a cold spot on my partner's neck. He thought a windbreak behind the tub on the grass would be a good idea. The cottage kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need, and some really nice touches like the coffee machine. I really enjoyed the stay and would have been back sooner but it is always booked up when I want to stay! The sign of a really good property.
-
"Fantastic location and accommodation."
The welcome pack (unexpected) of wine and treats was really surprising but most welcome. Cleanliness and having everything you could want in the cottage made it an excellent break. Will be back for sure and will definitely be recommending this place. Thanks...
-
"The cottage itself is beautiful, cosy, warm and equipped with everything you could possibly think of."
The hosts have put together an information folder which was so so useful - from information on the appliances to information on the local area and things to do. They left a little welcome pack which was very generous and not expected (but very appreciated) Would 100% recommend staying here.
