We had a lovely and peaceful Christmas time at the lodge, just as we did two years ago. The owner is very friendly and helpful, the property is clean and well-equipped. I would highly recommend relaxing in the hot tub after enjoying the scenic walking routes in the area :-)

Perfect Place

The Lodge exceeded expectations. The photos do not do it justice and its setting is far better then may be expected from looking at Google Earth. Emma and Lee (the hosts) are very welcoming and have made The Lodge supremely comfortable both inside and out. It is very well positioned in Weardale for exploring a beautiful part of the country both by car and on foot. If you are looking for a quiet and comfortable place for a short stay, then The Lodge is perfect.

Perfectly quaint....

Booked a quick couple of nights away in this perfect, friendly lodge, everything you need has been covered(even down to the ice cubes in the freezer, great little touch👍) great base for walks nearby but only one village pub for socialising, so hop on bus into Woolsingham couple of pubs.....and recommend the club👍👍👍(just ask Emma and Lee the host's 🍻👍) very helpful host's not bothering you but there to help with any problems 👍 100% recommend this perfect little lodge if like us your a lover of the Dales.....

Excellent stay.

I cannot tell you how wonderful this property and the hosts Emma and Lee are. The property is spotless and has everything you need I using a hot tub, fire pit and bbq! . The hosts are attentive but not imposing. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I cannot reccomened highly enough that you try this property out. Read the reviews they are very accurate of our experience. 5 stars out of 5 stars without doubt. Julia my wife said that the massage she had was the best she had ever had too. Thank you Emma and Lee for looking after us so well. We loved it.
