• "A lovely cottage."

  Just perfect for 2 people. Clean, warm, comfortable and had everything you needed. A lovely welcome pack and a warm welcome note. Afraid did not meet the owner. We had a bit of trouble with the water not draining from the shower and loo, but that sorted itself out. Would certainly stay again, and would recommend to anyone who wantd to stay near Durham.

• "The cottage was clean everything you need is supplied the beds were too soft the chairs are not good for relaxing you can't sit properly in bucket chairs shower a good step up to get in ."

  Did not like the cooker as the rings did not cool off quick.also the owners who were on site never came to see if we were ok at any time we just gotthe key I from the box on the wall and left the key on table on leaving so disapointed all round

  I am saddened and confused by this feedback. She says here that the cottage was clean and everything that you needed was supplied, but then gave cleanliness 50% and scored down for everything.? There are indeed two bucket chairs and also an upholstered two seater settee. The step into the shower is 9 inches and there is a grab handle inside. A stool can be provided on request. She must think that I am the gardener. I was working in the garden when they arrived and I went to say hello and make sure that they had the key, offered to help bring things down from the car and said to get in touch with me if necessary at any time. It has always been our policy not to intrude when guests are here. We are always ready to respond to queries or problems. To quote their entry in our visitors' book: "Nice cottage. Well equiped. Would have been nice to meet the owners. PS. Thanks for the extras very much appreciated." Property Owner

  Heating is generous in colder weather. It is small but extremely well thought out and easy to get around. It is in a quiet, pretty location and is an ideal base for walking, bird watching or general sight seeing. Swaledale is close by and Barnard Castle, a friendly little town is a 5min drive away.

• "(To the owner: We omitted to write in the visitors book so please feel free to copy these comments to it)."

  We had a pleasant and comfortable stay in Curlew Cottage and the owner, Rob, did everything he could to make our stay a good one. Several adjustments were made to accommodate our limited mobility. A lovely welcome basket, wine, fresh flowers and an anniversary card awaited us, which was a really thoughtful touch. The kitchen equipment was modern and good quality, the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of DVDs, books and guides. A highlight was the colourful and well designed gardens and pond area with lovely open meadow views. Rob’s late wifeVal and their grandson Max created the gardens with love and imagination. A bonus was speaking with Rob who is knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. The cottage is only a few miles from the fascinating Bowes Museum with lovely gardens and a good cafe and about 15 mins from Raby Castle with beautiful walks in the grounds. We would be happy to return if we visited this area again.

  The standard in the cottage is very high everything you needed was there, a very cosy cottage. We didn’t light the wood burner but it was laid and there was plenty of coal if needed. Beds were very comfortable and we slept with no problems. Loved the little pond garden area which can be closed if children are staying. Very easy to visit lots of places with many beautiful villages in the area. No hesitation in recommending the cottage.
