This upside down converted barn/reading room is the perfect getaway from it all. We had a fantastic week walking and enjoying the beautiful views from this cottage. Friendly neigbours and the owner is just lovely. No complaints and will definitely come back...thank you for a lovely holiday!

Nice, but not outstanding.
The property is a converted farm building of some sort and is reasonably furnished in a 'holiday home' style. Nothing exceptional either way, not outstandingly bad, not outstandingly good, its 'nice' ,perhaps a little bit beginning to fray around the edges,
Located in a small hamlet, and here perhaps my own prejudices will reflect on the review, its not barren/ desolate/ isolated but when youre about 25 mins from the bright lights big city of Barnard Castle (sense the sarcasm in the last phrase) you get the picture that you are 'getting away' from it somewhat.
Whilst I was after a fashion able to get internet access, mobile coverage was non-existent. Its nice, the owner is lovely, but I sense the last of that type of holiday i'd do alone.

Away from it all
Meadows Edge is located in an ideal location for walking or just relaxing. With no mobile Signal and very limited wifi you can escape from the every day hustle and bustle.
This upside down cottage allows you to relax and look out onto amazing views of Holwick Scar and surrounding countryside.
The cottage is cosy even during some very inclement weather. The boiler however is located directly behind the bedroom so may disturb light sleepers.
Surprised to find that no towels are provided or a basic welcome pack. (Perhaps we have been spoiled by other letting agents?)
Local pub is just minutes away and serves some pretty decent meals.

Neat little place
Great views from living area upstairs.
Good setup internally.
Really would like to use in summer when can make best use of garden.
Only one little thing for us was the boiler was right by your head in bed, so sleeping for me was an issue. For anyone who sleeps lightly this might be an issue.
Otherwise fab!!

Relaxation or Outdoor Pursuits - Meadows Edge is whatever you wa
My partner and i work in the city and wanted to get away from it all for a week, and thats exactly what we got from Meadows Edge. We were greeted by the owners daughter who lives down the lane, she was very friendly and offered her assistance if we needed it at anytime while we were there. The Cottage is off the beaten track, well kept and has everything you would need for a relaxing break, you will find every utensil you can think of in the kitchen! It has excellent views from all upstairs windows, cosy bedroom downstairs with a modern bathroom en suite. The cottage is less than 5 minutes away (walking) from the friendly local pub which does great meals and 10 minutes(driving) to shops. Lots to do in the area, farmers market in Barnard Castle, walks, High Force Waterfall is a must and is only 20 minutes away in the car. Overall we had a great stay even when the weather was bad we cuddled up on the sofa with the heating on and watched the world go by from the comfort of the warm cosy cottage. We will definately be going back for more in 2013.

Perfect
The cottage was beautiful . Perfect and cozy for two , we arrived in the night so were astounded by the beautiful views when we woke the next day . The local pub was very friendly and inviting and the food was beautiful perfectly priced and very generous portions were a added bonus ! The walks were a little hard to figure out but once we got on the right track we were could really taken in the beautiful surroundings . The cottage was well equipt but make sure to bring towels ! The cottage is in a secluded location perfect for getting away from it all and relaxing would recommend this to anyone and will definitely be back .

We had a wonderful, relaxing time
It is a lovely, cosy cottage with all the amenities, a home from home. The location is ideal for High Force waterfall and walking in the area.

Lovely place
We got a warm, personal welcome from the owner. The weather was awful but that did not matter. We walked to High Force one day and spent a day mooching around the towns. It was a lovely weekend and so nice to be able to bring our dog.

Spring-winter in one minute!
My wife and I stayed at the cottage for the last week in March, leaving on Good Friday. We had an excellent time for the whole week, with no negative moments. The cottage was very cozy with brilliant views across and down the dale and the village pub was very friendly, the local Sunday walkers even shared their 'cheese board' with us. Helen, the landlady of the pub, proved be a wonderful host. On our last day there, we went for a walk along the dale, arriving at the cottage in lovely spring sunshine, within a minute, we had a white-out!
A superb cottage and location - we'll be back!
