• "Great place to stay!"

  Quite, private and all out relaxing. We've stayed in a lot of different types of cabins and locations and think this one was probably the best! Great host - welcoming, with a fantastic hot tub set up ready when we arrived. We've already said we'll be back.

  It’s lovely to hear that you thought the cabin was a great place to stay and found it “all out relaxing” we are so pleased that you are coming back. Best wishes Property Owner

• "We absolutely loved every moment."

  The hosts were so welcoming and friendly, the freebies and welcome treats were really thoughtful. The hot tub was new to us, but the host took the time to show us how to best use and was always available for any questions. The cabin was so clean and cosy, the wood burner was in use almost every night and really makes the whole thing a wonderful and private experience to relax and enjoy the space and quiet. Our dog loved it too! We will definitly be back!

  Such lovely feedback thank you so much and it’s great that you “loved every moment” and that you will definitely be back, that certainly puts a spring in our steps. All the very best Property Owner

• "Seconding the other reviews that this is a lovely spot and well hosted."

  We chose it for the location and the treat of the hot tub. With mixed weather for the week we did a mix of walking and visiting the sights. There is lots to do within a 10 minute drive and we took a longer drive out to Cumbria for a day. The lack of oven means that cooking facilities are limited for a longer stay, but there are lots of options for eating out nearby and pasta and rice dishes are easy to cook on the hobs. We have an anxious dog and she didn't bark from within the lodge, it was so quiet, even with other people staying and it being a working farm. Outside the lodge was also very quiet. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing break.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback and for saying it was “wonderfully relaxing”. We are so pleased you were able to enjoy your time with us. We are also delighted that your dog was able to relax too. Best wishes Property Owner

  (Great customer service even before arrival). The lodge was warm and cosyand fully equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. As well as some welcome bubbles and biscuits for us to enjoy. Even Bowser had a welcome bag which made his tail wag! The farm has great walks for the dog as well as the enclosed field so he could have off lead time. If your looking for a relaxing, quite, romantic place to stay then this is the perfect place to stay. It also has some great places to visit locally if your looking for days out to. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can.

  I have to say, this is the nicest lodge we have ever stayed at. Stephen and Marty are just lovely. We arrived late but Stephen was still there to greet us and show us what was what. Milk and a bottle of wine were awaiting our arrival. The cabins have been very carefully thought out, down to place mats and are very private. We didn't hear a peep from the other 2 cabins! The views are amazing and it is so peaceful. Lots of literature provided for what to do round and about. Stephen was kind enough to get the hot tub ready for us each day. We were supposed to take our dog but she had to have an op beforehand. She would have loved it and we will definitely be back so that she can enjoy what we did!

  The lodge is in a beautiful, peaceful and private setting that instantly lets you unwind...and the hot tub was all ready for us on arrival complete with complimentary fizz! Surrounded by countryside and bird song we watched swallows feed their chicks and heard curlew fly overhead. Our hosts were on hand for anything we had forgotten or needed. Our elderly dog even had his own bag with bowls and snuggly blankets in case he was chilly. A great place to bring dogs with local walks and many others a short drive away. The cabin is cozy and fitted out to a standard much higher than we expected and nothing had been forgotten. A wonderful place in mid summer...it never seemed to get dark. With a flame fire and central heating a visit in the winter would be delightfully cozy. We highly recommend this cottage or the other two on site. Thank you for a fabulous week of peace and rest.

  On arrival there was milk and wine in the fridge and some biscuits, which was a lovely touch. The cabin is beautiful and has everything you could need, the kitchen is well stocked to be able to prepare simple meals. The gas fire is a little tricky to start with but heats the whole cabin and it is very cosy. Sofa and bed were both incredibly comfortable. It is very clear that a lot of love goes in to getting the cabins ready and ours was absolutely spotless. Steven called us before we arrived to see if we wanted the hot tub pre heating so we were able to get in pretty much from arrival :) there is plenty of wood available to be able to use the hot tub every day. We visited with our dog, there is lots to do locally and most places we visited are dog friendly. There are some secured fields/wooded area next to the cabins that you are able to use for dog walking, which has a beautiful beck at the bottom. All three cabins had a dog staying while we were there, because of how the cabins are arranged we didn't see the other dogs or guests unless walking in the field. There is a very handy welcome file in the cabin which has lots of information in. The week we visited was valentines day (we had some cute cupcakes left by our door!) and my 40th Birthday and I honestly could not think of a better place to have celebrated!

This was an amazing gesture as my wife had no idea of where we were going. The lodge was beautiful - had everything mentioned and was very clean and tidy. The owners definitely take pride and this was very reflective of all the details of our stay.

The lodge is on a working farm and in a quiet location, it was perfect for a chill out few days. We used the opportunity to visit nearby low / high force, raby and barnard castle.

  The little touches that were left like prosecco, tea and coffee and some biscuits were a really nice touch. Would definitely recommend anyone who just wants to just get away and relax this is the place, we will definitely be returning on our next short break.

  We were shown where we could take the dogs for walks during our stay, there were ewes & lamb in the fields next to our cottage which Steve made available very next day for us to walk the dogs freely. The Otters Halt was so peaceful, we enjoyed watching the birds, the village have a wonderful tearoom Which I would highly recommend. Have already recommended our families & friends the cottage and places we visited, the walks in Raby Castle, High Force Falls, Egglestone Nursery, Bernard Castle & the walks around, visited Seaham beach, Durham City the magnificent cathedral, and the lively Riverside walk not to forget the lovely picturesque drive through the North Penines. We were well looked after throughout our stay and whenever Steve met us also asked if everything was ok & if there was anything he could do for us . We will definitely make another trip in near future, well done and keep the good hospitality going

  The Cabin was spotless and Steve and Mary made us very welcome. There was a lovely welcome pack awaiting us and our Spaniel Newton had his own doggie Bag with Blanket,Towels and doggie bowls etc. The King size bed was lovely and there was a lovely log effect gas burner.The hot tub yes the hot tub was fantastic, and I have been suffering for a while with a fractured shoulder, what a relief to get into the log heated hot tub with our complimentary bubbly. The farmland was great for walking Newton especially by the river. Our only regret is we did not see the Kingfishers and the Barn owl but my husband has promised a return journey to remedy my bird watching. Thanks again for a lovely holiday

  Thank you for the lovely feedback. It was lovely to meet you both , and of course Newton. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us .

  The cabin was immaculate on our arrival and the site owner greeted us warmly, with a ready hot tub, and an introduction to our home for a few days. The cabin itself was delightful, with those extra touches that make all the difference, it’s clear that the owners have both impeccable taste, and fantastic attention to detail. Relaxing in the hot tub after a long day walking in the beautiful local countryside, was just so peaceful. All 3 cabins at the site have been so well thought out, they are secluded, private and set in a stunning location, with everything you need. There’s no oven, but there is a hob and a microwave. We thoroughly recommend a visit to Barnard Castle, very quaint with some lovely cafes. Aside from the Castle itself, we followed the Teesdale path to the Abby, a lovely 3 mile meander alongside the river Tees. We also visit High Force and Low Force waterfalls: We opted for a long walk from Middleton in Teesdale, but you can also dive to Bowlees and take a much shorter route. The cafe in Bowlees had some scrumptious cakes and sausage rolls. All in all we had an amazing time and feel thoroughly refreshed after our visit. We will definitely be back. Thank you to our fabulous hosts for creating such a special place.

  Wow, what a lovely reflective summary of your stay. We are delighted that you thought it was a "special place". We love the area so are pleased that you enjoyed it and hoping to return. Thank you for taking time to provide the feedback. All the very best Property Owner

• "Otters Holt was absolutely perfect for our weekend away."

  The property was beyond expectation, as it has only been open a few months everything is brand new. Really great levels of comfort are provided and there is good attention to detail in what has been achieved here. As it was February we anticipated the cabin might be on the chilly side; fortunately the gas fire and central heating system kept us really warm and toasty. Hot Tub was super and the outside space has been created to feel really private; there are 2 other cabins on the same plot but you have the perception of total seclusion. The star visibility on an evening was like nothing we have ever experienced and added a different dimension. Hospitality from the owner was fantastic! Some treats has been left for us which was kind and unexpected, and Steven even took some time out of his day to give us a tour of his farm and meet the new baby lambs. We took our little dog with us for the weekend and he was provided a literal doggy bag with everything needed; he loved the open space and walks available in the local area. Location wise the cabin is perfectly positioned for Raby Castle & Deer Park (which we visited twice), Barnard Castle & High Force Water Fall. We generally don’t leave reviews but on this occasion the property and experience was to such a level that we had to.... all in all a proper gem and we will revisit as soon as we the chance.

  What a lovely review, thanks you so much. We have been up most nights lambing, so get to see the starry sky, but tend to be rushing around so don't always appreciate it, so we are delighted that you got to see how fabulous it is. All the very best and hope to see you again in the future Property Owner

  Steven and Mary are very helpful, welcoming and friendly hosts. Steven was kind enough to let my daughter visit the lambs that had been born that morning (she was over the moon), quickly returned an item we had left there and also, bought us a drink at the Brownlow Arms. Above and beyond service! The lodge is in a good location with countryside view. It, and surrounding space, are very well designed. The lodge is very well insulated (ideal for winter breaks), has everything you need (kitchen area is fully equipped, WIFI, Smart TV, lots of sockets) and is very comfortable. The deck area is nice and the wood fired tub is a fab extra. It's an excellent base to visit the area. Bowes museum is well worth a visit.
