Region: Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles and historic Hadrians Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife.
Town: Nestling by the banks of the River Tees is the pretty Pennine village of Middleton-in-Teesdale. This bustling village offers a good range of shops, pubs and places to eat. This is superb walking country with high open moorland as well as pretty wooded valleys and the nearby waterfalls of High Force, Gibson's Cave and Cauldron Snout are amongst the most spectacular sights in the district.
Lovely cottage with everything you need. Unfortunately if you like to sit outside enjoying a warm evening with a cup of tea the neighbours won’t be happy. Although this is a holiday let for 9 people the neighbours obviously aren’t happy living next door to it. Please be aware of this when booking it!

Ticked all the boxes!
Lovely cottage in beautiful location. Nicely equipped and cosy. We were 3 adults, 2 children and a dog. The hot tub was greatly enjoyed ,there was loads to do,with walks from the house. A lovely area to holiday and Peter, the owner, was a gem, and so helpful.

Lovely character in peaceful location
Stayed here as a family of 6 (3 adults and 2 kids aged 14 and 12) during the Easter Holidays.
Welcome was good - Peter showed us around and made us feel welcome. The cottage itself has a lot of character and is in a very nice peaceful location. It was lovely to look out and not see properties everywhere just loads of sheep!
As a family we particularly loved the hot tub and fire. Wifi was also good enough for the kids to watch You Tube. We also liked the fact that it was nice and spacious.
Location of the cottage itself was good. If you like walking they are very close to High Falls and Low Falls. It made a good base for us to go out on day trips every day with many great places within a 1 to 1 1/2 hour drive.
We did have some negatives:
1. Most other cottages we have stayed in have included wood and coal etc for fires in the evening. An initial amount are provided but any more and you need to put money in an honesty box (which we did).
2. Although the cottage was very nice and warm, it is oil heating and the boiler took a few goes before lighting up (quite noisy). On a couple of occasions there was also a very toxic smell in the kitchen.
3. No extractor fan in the kitchen. Utensils in our opinion were also in need of updating. We had to buy a sharp knife for chopping and also after the first morning of attempting to use the frying pan, decided to buy one.
4. Shower pressure is very weak. The downstairs shower could not regulate temperature - it was either very cold or very hot. The en suite shower was okay but the pressure in the upstairs bathroom was also very weak.
5. On the first day we had to ring Peter to report a leak - water was dripping through the ceiling in the kitchen in a place that it had quite clearly leaked before. We later deduced that it was from the upstairs bathroom shower. Peter did offer to come round and have a look which is fair enough but we declined.
Overall we had a nice week away and the cottage served its purpose. However, we would not return as in our opinion there are nicer places to stay.

We literally got back today. Loved every second. The barn is beautiful! Very spacious. The views from all angles are outstanding. Hot tub is brilliant. Spend a lot of time in there. We're already planning a return again this year. Peter the landlord is lovely and really made us feel welcome. Lovely walks near by and the village not far.

Ab Fab !!!
Just back from a weekend with 6 friends at Hoodgill Barn. The house is in a gorgeous location in beautiful countryside with a fantastic outdoor hot tub.the cottage is wonderful, lovely rooms, amazing views.
The owner has thought of everything, bedding, towels, tea, coffee sugar, biscuits. We have had a great weekend and would recommend it to anybody.
If you like walking it is in a perfect spot, just walk out of the property into the fields at the back onto a public footpath and on to the waterfalls of low and high force.
Hope to be able to visit again.

Stayed for my 40th birthday with a group of friends. There were 5 of us in total and the cottage was ideal.
Modern and spacious with character charm, clean and well equipped.
The hot tub and log burner were superb.
Location was quiet and beautiful. We walked to the Strathmore Arms which is a short distance away and then onto High Force Falls.
Would recommend it.
If staying with young babies and children the fire place might prove tricky unless a guard can be provided. We didn't ask as we didn't need one but it's worth bearing in mind.

Perfect retreat from the rat race
Two families of 4 stayed here the week of the Scottish Half Term break. the cottage is fantastic with everything you could ever need with 3 bathrooms ( one ensuite) and 4 bedrooms packed with character and charm.
the owners and neighbours couldn't be more friendly and the local pubs are fantastic .
Standout pub/restraint is the Strathmore Arms - take the public footpath at Low force, cross the suspension bridge and go over 2 fields and you are there - well worth the effort the food and patrons are fantastic.
High Force and Low Force waterfalls are a must to see .
We cannot wait to go back and miss the place already.

Lovely cottage stay
We were really impressed by the cottage and it's beautiful location. Lovely and spacious with some really modern aspects. All facilities and amenities superb. We used hoodgill as a base to explore the surrounding area including the low & highforce falls, near by Durham and a farm park a few miles away.
A visit to Bowless visitor centre would be worthwhile, even for a tea/coffee and cake! We walked to the high force which would have been more pleasant had we not had babies in buggies! It was a real challenge which I wouldn't do again! Despite being warned it wasn't buggy friendly we made the journey anyway, it was a beautiful area and would highly recommend for others (suitably prepared) to venture there! We can laugh about it now!!
My only comment would be about the 10pm hot tub curfew, it's not a criticism and I can understand why it's in place it's just that 9 or 10 would usually be the ideal time to relax once kids are in bed and that meant we didn't get to use very much during our stay.
Overall would highly recommend to others.
