Low Shipley Cottage

Barnard Castle 5.5 miles. An outstanding, stone-built barn conversion in a courtyard setting, situated midway between Barnard Castle and the pretty village of Middleton-in-Teesdale. Superbly set in stunning countryside, this Barnard Castle cottage would suit anyone wanting peace and tranquillity yet within easy reach of a network of wonderful footpaths tracing the upper reaches of the Tees valley waterfalls. Boasting first-class accommodation, this spacious cottage offers two charming bedrooms which benefit from their very own TVs and en-suite facilities where you can unwind in a soothing bubble bath before stepping out onto the toasty underfloor heating. Spend your evenings in the homely sitting room, admiring the elegant leather furnishings, exposed beams, oak doors and a feature stone fireplace with a woodburning stove - a welcoming space to relax after an enjoyable day out exploring the countryside. Outside is a small private patio, ideal for alfresco dining, accompanied by a crisp glass of wine during a warm summer’s day. Take a relaxing dip in the hot tub whilst enjoying panoramic views of beautiful unspoilt countryside or simply enjoy the extensive shared lawns. A short walk across the fields from this Barnard Castle cottage brings you to the delightful small village of Cotherstone with two local inns serving real ales and good food. From the doorstep of this Barnard Castle cottage, a network of scenic walks and trails can be enjoyed whilst a short drive brings you to the popular, historic market town of Barnard Castle with a host of antique shops, tea rooms and independent shops. Be sure to visit the waterfront at the foot of the castle and take a hike further upstream to High Force and Cauldron Snout. Nearby adventure awaits at The Bowes Museum and Raby Castle with the splendid grounds and deer park, whilst the Teesdale and Pennine way offer the perfect day out for ramblers and hikers alike, alongside amazing views. Other local attractions to keep you busy during your trip include the Low Force and High Force waterfalls, Egglestone Abbey, the Deepdale Nature Reserve, and the sensational North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Yorkshire Dales National Park await further afield.
