About this property

Westholme is a delightful detached stone cottage, that can be found resting in the village of Mickleton near Middleton-in-Teesdale, an area of outstanding natural beauty. This characterful cottage makes a great base for families or groups of four of which to explore the beautiful county of Durham. The property has stunning views over the fields to Monks Moor with one of the bedrooms looking onto this. Step inside the property and be greeted by the welcoming embrace of the spacious living room, home to a contemporary woodburning stove and two lovely sofas which you can kick back and relax on at the end of an action-packed day. Turn on the TV and enjoy a quiet night indoors with a fabulous blockbuster movie or grab a game from the striking mahogany unit, for some friendly competition. Head into the charming country kitchen and discover a range of well-thought appliances behind the pretty cream cabinets, to help you cook up a fantastic feast for all to enjoy around the dining table. Take the evening outside to the garden to find a tranquil hot tub, where you and your friends can indulge in a relaxing dip as you watch the sun begin to set over the stunning rolling countryside. Retreat to the summer house where you can enjoy a game of dominoes or head into the warmth of the conservatory and enjoy drinks as you sit and discuss your plans for the week ahead. Venture up to the first floor and choose between two beautifully decorated bedrooms with neutral tones and crisp white bed sheets, each boasting a wall-mounted TV and chic en-suite bathroom with both a bath and overhead shower. Mickleton has two pubs, 24 hour service station and is 2 miles from Middleton in Teesdale which has a range of shops.

  • Julie

    There was everything you could possibly need including really helpful information about walks in the area ( we took advantage of two of them), information about local eateries ( would recommend the chippie in Middleton - cooked fresh to order), a fabulous hot tub and a welcome basket we really appreciated. We also enjoyed the quiz games in the TV cupboard and a pizza at the local pub. Would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

  • Lisa

    The views from the property are stunning, these views can be enjoyed from the hot tub which was great after a long walk and a delicious meal in the local pub.

  • April

    The owners really do go the extra mile to make a memorable stay. The welcome pack and birthday card and choccies are a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend and if in the area again we would book this gorgeous cottage.
