With the famous Teesdale Way right outside your door, you can head out for adventures whenever you please. After a long day of sniffing out new trails, you can all curl up by the warm and inviting wood burner, or you can treat yourself to a starlit soak in the private hot tub.

This is a lovely, well thought out lodge. The setting was perfect - quiet and relaxing and an excellent base for exploring. Beds very comfortable, with lovely crisp white bedding and towels. The kitchen is ideal for a weekend away. Hot tub a great addition and enjoyed by all. Would we return - yes definitely.

A lovely light, airy and dog friendly ecolodge in a great location only metres from the river with a great walk into the nearby village with places to stop for dogs to swim. A large balcony and hot tub cap off a wonderful holiday home experience.
