"2nd time we have stayed here, such a lovely home from home house."
Great welcome pack which was very thoughtful and kind. House in great location, village is lovely and everyone so friendly. Plenty of places to go and see, lots of local walks. It’s just great

"We've just come back from a lovely long weekend in Langlands."
The house was everything I was hoping for and more - very comfortable, large rooms and so handy for the shops. The kitchen was very well equipped and the whole house was beautifully clean. I felt so relaxed and at home there. Would definitely recommend.

"We have just returned from a wonderful 5 day stay at Langlands."
This cottage is absolutely fantastic, the pictures do not do it justice. We were so impressed with everything it had to offer, we have stayed in quite a few holiday cottages over the years and this one has been, by far the best we have stayed in. So many good points and little extras that don't sound like much, but make a huge difference- such as, plenty of plug sockets, blankets for getting cosy at night, dog towels and equipment for the dog, plush decent sized towels, choice of summer / winter duvets on the beds, enclosed secure garden, fantastically equipped kitchen with everything you could need including tupperware to borrow for picnics and a spice draw, a huge choice of books to borrow, games and jigsaws, Netflix and amazon prime subscription....I could go on! We were so impressed with how clean this property was, and we really could not fault it. As for the location, Middleton in Teesdale was absolutely gorgeous, perfect for walking holidays, some lovely walks on the door step , and the surrounding areas have plenty to offer , High force and the Gibson caves are a must see. Everywhere is very dog friendly and the locals are extremely friendly. The fish and chip shop was excellent, and you have a big co-op just a few doors away. We really couldn't have asked for more. The first time we have been away somewhere that we all ( 2 children of 10 and 14 included) wanted to come back to. Thank you for having us!

"A spacious, well maintained and clean house in a beautiful village and area."
We loved the large, secure garden, sun room and handy bike storage. Plenty of on street parking and so quiet at night. Lots to do and see with beautiful countryside views at the back of the house.

Second stay at this property, we love the house and the area, there are plenty of places to visit in the area and some lovely walks, there is everything you could need for your stay in the property with an added bonus of a large enclosed garden for your 4 legged friends, the local people are really friendly and are eager to advise you on walks and places to visit in the area a couple of pubs that are dog friendly and do food and several shops in the village along with a co-op, all in all a great place for a relaxing break, as i mentioned, our second visit but certainly not our last

"Absolutely brilliant cottage."
It had everything we needed and more, but it still felt elegant and luxurious. Thanks so much, we'll be back.
-
"We had a fabulous stay in a fabulous property."
Langlands had everything we wanted and more, it was a home from home for us (6 ladies). In fact we were envious of the property owners as it is so beautiful. It was also great to have the village so close and also be able to take some great walks from the house. Highly recommend Langlands
-
"An excellent cottage!"
Immaculate, comfortable and fully equipped.
-
"A beautiful well equipped comfortable cottage."
A real home from home. The owners have provided everything you could wish for to make your holiday perfect. In a great position for exploring the countryside and some fantastic walks in and around the local area. Would definitely recommend this delightful property
-
"A lovely property: well-decorated, immaculately clean, and with an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen and a wide variety of books for rainy days and quiet moments."
The location, near the centre of Middleton-in-Teesdale and a few doors away from a well-stocked Co-op, made this an ideal base for exploring Upper Teesdale. Warmly recommended.
-
"A beautiful property in a beautiful part of the country."
The house is very well-appointed and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the sun lounge. Our dog loved racing up and down the long garden and there are scenic walks along the river bank, easily accessible from the house. Wonderful!
-
"The most wonderful warm, comfortable and well equipped cottage I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to quite a few."
The only dampener was the weather but that just meant we got to stay in it longer. Fabulous space for her together of friends and families, we had an absolute blast! Thank you
-
"A lovely house, with a really well-equipped kitchen, plenty of space and a great garden for children."

Parking to unpack was a little bit of a challenge but well worth the effort The house was wonderful and the town and area well worth a visit, lovely welcome pack and fab pork pies at the butcher
-
"Property was amazing."
It was warm, comfortable and had everything you would need for a holiday - best equipped kitchen I have ever seen and I have been using self catering properties 3-4 times a year for more than 30 years!!!
-
"What a lovely cosy and warm house, well equipped kitchen with all you would need for your stay, a lovely garden for the dog to run around in."
the 2 pubs in the village were dog friendly and very welcoming, in fact, everyone we met was very friendly and eager to advise us on dog walks and places to visit the village itself was lovely surrounded by fantastic scenery, we would definitely return to this lovely house and have already told family and friends about it, thankyou for having us
-
"A lovely property Well furnished and comfortable Very well stocked with everything you need in a holiday home Ideal position in the village for all amenities The only disadvantage was the on street parking as it was very busy."
Unfortunately it was busier than normal this weekend as Northumbrian Water were replacing the main drain through the village and there was lots of additional traffic/work vans around, as well as traffic lights and roadworks. The work is now finished. Kind regards Property Owner
-
"Langlands is a beautiful property, where everything and everyone is catered for, even the pooch."
Ideally located for access to the village centre and countryside walks. Comfort and cleanliness are obviously key and everything is provided for you so just bring yourselves and your clothes and enjoy.
-
"What a beautiful cottage."
From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very spacious yet cosy. Everything was provided including firewood and a lovely welcome basket. Over three floors, the top floor a large bedroom on suite which was just lovely I spent most of my time in the garden room at the back of the house which was warm, light and a great place for a cheeky glass of wine and a good read. Check in and check out was easy with the lock box. Shops, cafes, pubs and great walks are all within minutes of the cottage and one straight road takes you into Barnard castle We will be returning year after year as this just felt like a home from home.
-
"Absolutely lovely house - really well-stocked and loads of space for us all."
The welcome pack was particularly appreciated and the location was perfect for shops and pubs as well as getting out onto the fells. Highly recommended!

"Great period property , great for the adults and family we liked it a ..."
Great period property , great for the adults and family we liked it a lot However , please take this as positive feedback 1Stairs to loft area very steep and shallow much care needed 2Combination Boiler , problems with hot water temperature when showering, possibly of scolding 3Time clock not adjusted to GMT 4Rubbish collection data out of date 5Lovely welcome pack much appreciated 6Games, books brilliant children loved it Nice overall layout to property, will need constant work , but by the look that won’t be a problem
Thanks for the constructive feedback I'd like to go through it point by point. 1. Loft stairs are steep that is why there are 2 handrails fitted for safety. 2. Thank you for bringing the situation with the showers to our attention, I have contacted the plumber to investigate this. 3. The time clock on the boiler control will be adjusted to GMT at my next visit. 4. Rubbish collection information will be updated at next visit. We do try very hard to keep everything updated for our guest and do appreciate guest letting us know as soon as they have any issues so we can rectify them immediately. Property Owner

"10 out of 10."
Fabulous location and brilliant cottage. Could not have asked for more.
-
"I’ve always used the definition of quality as ‘exceeding customer expectations’."
Langlands certainly achieves this goal. A lovely terraced cottage, in the centre of the village, but quiet and peaceful. You can pull your boots on and do numerous walks from the front door. Plus there are coffee shops and places to eat in the village. We will definitely book this place again, it delivered a perfect holiday.
-
"Our real thanks to our hosts for the thought that had gone into everything about this property - they have created a lovely, welcoming place and it would be hard to think of any way in which it could be improved."
When you add in that Teesdale in June is just gorgeous, it made for wonderful holiday.
-
"Wonderful cottage."
It might be good to ensure that the table at the end of the garden is fully usable as it is a lovely place to sit (we found it probably needed a little clean and some extra seating down there would be good). Otherwise we loved everything! Thank you.
The table at the bottom of the garden has now been replaced with a new 8 seater table with parasol. This table is cleaned every Friday but as an outside table we would advise it is wiped down before every use, cleaning products are supplied in the house. Property Owner
-
"Probably the best equipped house we've ever had the pleasure to stay in."
Very peaceful and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.
-
"Thanks so much for making Langlands such a wonderful holiday house!"
We all had a great time and would definitely recommend and return
-
"It’s an amazing house, extremely spacious and the owners have thought about virtually everything you would need for a home from home stay."
The village of Middleton-in-Teesdale is very pretty along with the whole area. There’s everything on your doorstep, literally, from the Coop next door to the places to eat in the village. Two highlights were the fish and chip shop and the French restaurant which served excellent authentic food. All in all we had a superb holiday and would definitely recommend as a place to visit and stay. Who on earth said it’s grim up north, well not here at least!
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Langlands - the house was very homely, clean and well equipped."
We were 2 families (total of 7) sharing and all loved the spacious rooms and the lounge was particularly cosy in the evenings. If we had to suggest anything, perhaps a shoe rack /boot trays might be useful in the hallway? Also a mattress topper in the attic room as the mattress springs could be felt both sides, although we still slept well :-) A perfect week away (in all weathers!) in a friendly little town with all the amenities we needed within a short walk. We can recommend The Teesdale Hotel in the village for great evening bar meals and a cosy fire (dog friendly too!). We hope to be back again for more walking and exploring. Thank you.
-
"A very spacious, beautifully decorated very well equipped house."
Probably the most equipped rental property we’ve ever stayed in. It was perfect for our girly catch up ( 5 adults 2 children) we all throughly enjoyed our short stay and can’t recommend a stay at Langland’s highly enough.
-
"What a fabulous house in a wonderful village!"
Spacious, comfy, cosy and stylish - I could live there forever! Seriously - a large well equipped house in a great location and we would definitely stay there again.
-
". This is a Spacious house with plenty of space for our extended family of 7 and a baby. The best equipped house we’ve stayed in"

"This is a beautifully presented property with everything of very good quality and a generous and varied welcome pack."
The owner had provided beautiful welcoming flowers and was kind enough to warn us of the tv mast issues at the transmitter. This didn't affect us as we were able to access Netflix or iPlayer etc. The long, safe garden for the dog was a bonus. My mum found the three steps down to the bathroom level difficult at night time and we could have also benefitted from a downstairs toilet in hindsight. Ideally a towel rail (heated preferably) is needed in the bathroom and a washer dryer (rather then just a washer) would have been useful for us as a big family group on the rainy days. We loved the area - everyone was so friendly and there was lots to do and see. It was a great place and we had a good holiday.
-
"Well presented property in a great location cottage was well equipped and very comfortable a welcome pack was greatly appreciated."
-
"Really well equipped and comfortable cottage, very nicely furnished."
Really convenient for village shops, pubs, chippy etc. Minor issue that the shower was a bit temperamental when other water was running but solved by communication. Really enjoyed our week here. For those reading older reviews there is now a door on the en suite to the attic bedroom!

The cottage was well equipped with everything you need and the welcome pack was greatly appreciated, the walks around Middleton in Teasdale are fantastic
-
"Langlands is a lovely, warm and comfortable house in an excellent location."
We highly recommend it to visitors and families at any time of the year. It was beautifully prepared and we were provided with a very generous welcome pack. It is in wonderful peaceful walking country, but with good local eating and shopping options for a relaxing stay.
-
"The house is well appointed and spacious."
Middleton is a great place to stay with many walks from the town and you can even visit Barnard Castle to see if your eyesight is OK!! Owners who live near were very helpful.
-
"Wonderful stone house, well equipped, warm, and in the middle of lovely Middleton in Teesdale."
Stayed for a week at the start of October and walked on the Pennine Way and beside the River Tees straight from the front door. This house and location are perfect. Keen drivers may also enjoy the technical B roads both from Sedbergh through Kirkby Stephen and from Brough to M-i-T and up to Alston, some of the best driving roads in the UK. We will visit again.
-
"The house was spotless and very welcoming."
The welcome pack was unexpected and delightful. Fresh flowers were a really nice touch. Beds were comfortable. Parking easy. We had a really lovely time.
-
"Brilliant place to stay, we enjoyed every minute and would love to stay again."
-
"Excellent cottage but parking is difficult; we had to drive backwards and forwards to get a space."
2 of the 4 bedrooms didn't have wardrobes and we agree that there should be a door on the ensuite bathroom door.
-
"We had good weather while we were walking the Pennine Way the views were ..."
We had good weather while we were walking the Pennine Way the views were wonderful We visited two local restaurants of which we would recommend The Teesdale Hotel & The Forrestors Hotel
-
"The pictures of the house featured on the website do not do the place justice."
It is such a lovely house, very spacious and comfortable. Enough room for everyone to have their own space but also able to enjoy being together. The welcome basket was a lovely and generous surprise. The information folder was very useful and we were able to do some of the walks mentioned and visit recommended places. High Force, Low Force and Summerhill Force being a favourite. It had all the facilities needed though with the constant rain it was a bit of a challenge getting all the clothes dry - but we managed. The only slightly strange thing was the lack of a door on the main bedroom’s en-suite but it was not a big deal. The house is also perfectly situated right next to the local shops so it was easy to pop out to fetch anything needed. Great coffee shops and takeaways nearby too. All in all we spent a wonderful week away in a lovely house in a beautiful location and we would highly recommend Langlands to anyone wanting to visit this part of the country.
-
"Great location."
House was spacious enough for 3 generations to stay in. But a door on to the en-suite bathroom in the loft is needed. The bed in this room is unnecessarily big. The showers were temperamental with temperatures. But loved everything else.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Langlands cottage."
The cottage was really spacious. We loved the sun room, and it was super having access to a gated back garden which felt safe for our young ones (aged 5 and 7) to play in. The owner went the extra mile I feel, with home baking, fresh eggs, and fresh flowers on arrival. Place was very clean on arrival too. We had everything we could have needed, and the equipment was of a high standard. The towels were super fluffy and bedding seemed again of a high quality. The village was very friendly, I loved the craft shops. My husband says he wants to book our next holiday there, we both loved the place. Would highly recommend.

From here, there's a sun room with a TV and plenty of seating for everyone, should you wish to relax in a different setting, and step out of the patio doors onto the patio area, where the outdoor furniture is perfect for a morning coffee or alfresco meal.
The garden is narrow but long, with an extensive lawn, offering plenty of room for the little ones or beloved pet to have a run around, while the large storage area offers a secure space for any bikes you may want to bring along.
