The Hayloft- dog friendly romantic retreat- log burner and lovely rural views

The five star Hayloft is full of character with its exposed beams, log burner and wooden floors. This delightful Grade II Listed Building has been tastefully restored to provide spacious, high quality accommodation with charm and character.

Cosy up in front of the log burner in the open plan sitting/dining area which adjoins the fully equipped kitchen. The wooden staircase leads to a spacious mezzanine bedroom with a super king or twin beds from which you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding Teesdale countryside.

The luxury ground floor bathroom has a double ended bath, overhead shower, heated towel rail and soft fluffy bathrobes to provide the ultimate relaxation after a busy day sightseeing.

The Hayloft has it’s own secluded garden with patio area, seating and BBQ. The perfect place to sit back and unwind while listening to birdsong.

The villages of Piercebridge and Gainford and both located within one mile and provide friendly local services including newsagents, general stores, a great selection of cafés, post office, hairdresser, ‘Chippie’ and organic farm shop. There are some fantastic local country pubs and quality restaurants in the area.

A stone’s throw from the Teesdale Way we are an ideal base for walkers who want to explore the Dale. The Dales include the nearby Swaledale and Weardale which have many bridleways, riverside footpaths and cycle trails. We have a drying area and lock up/store room for walking and cycling equipment.

Delightfully situated in the foothills of the glorious rolling Teesdale countryside in County Durham, our holiday cottage is perfect for a romantic break, a family holiday or as a country retreat for the discerning business traveller.
