Teesdale's Gainford, a charming village on the Tees River on the border with Yorkshire, is located in the picturesque region of Teesdale. An unspoiled village green, a few Georgian-style homes, a general store, fish and chip shop (and a bar) are all part of the settlement's appeal, as are nearby waterfalls, moorlands, and majestic castles. In addition, there is a Michelin-starred restaurant within easy driving distance of the town, so residents may enjoy fine dining.

Beautiful decor, views and vicinity. Just a couple of gripes which are too small to mention however we reported to James one of the outside doors wouldnât lock and he didnât come to fix it. Or even look at it so we were out all day without the doors being locked. Luckily we were taking all valuables with us.

E a frying pan big enough for plenty of food for 2 people also more than 2 dishwasher tablets as well as washing up liquid I donât feel this is something guests should have to bring given the price paid as well as the smallest drop of cooking oil left luckily we didnât need it but for someone coming without it and not thinking it could be a real problem also with the lodge there was no oven which once again could cause major issues for cooking if you brought pizza etc as well as an extension lead would have been ideal to allow for consoles to be plugged into the tv and played nowhere near by with one available sadly. All in all a lovely lodge with great views and a lovely hot tub and feel just needs a few touches to really make it the next level
