A delightful, stone-built, semi-detached cottage situated in its own grounds in the peaceful and tranquil hamlet of Hury in the Baldersdale area, 10 miles from Barnard Castle. Set in beautiful surroundings, the property boasts first-class accommodation, offering a charming master bedroom with beamed ceiling, a modern fitted kitchen with full-length picture window and a warm, snug sitting room. With breathtaking views of the reservoir and surrounding countryside, this is a great place in which to unwind and escape the stresses of modern life. A host of scenic walks and nature trails can be enjoyed nearby, or visit Romaldkirk, with its superb award-winning pub. The historic Eggleston Hall and the ancient market town of Barnard Castle, with its impressive castle, museum and art exhibitions, are both within easy driving distance, making this a delightful holiday location to be enjoyed at any time of year.
Made up of a small cluster of hamlets and farm dwellings overlooking the reservoirs of Hury, Blackton and Balderhead, Baldersdale branches off Teesdale. Home to Hannah Hauxwell, this lovely settlement rose to fame in the 1970s when Hauxwell was featured on television for single-handedly running her farm from her home which had no running water. Now managed by Durham Wildlife Trust, 'Hannah's Meadow' is an attractive nature reserve. One of the most unspoilt villages in Teesdale â Romaldkirk â is close by and consists of pretty greens, old stone cottages, a beautiful old church and two pubs - one of which won the AA Pub of the Year award for England in 2003. The breathtaking Dales countryside provides some excellent walking and cycling routes whilst the cities of Durham and Newcastle are all within easy driving distance for more cosmopolitan activities.

The walks from the door were superb. The owners live next door but do not intrude and the place felt completely private - but they are there if you need them. The back garden is dog proof. Pleasant three mile walks (can easily do a circular walk) to a decent pub
Pauline
The views are spectacular ( especially in the snow !) , very private , in-fact the photographs donât do it justice. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the cottage was well equipped . The local farmers and other cottage owners were also very friendly and the roads were kept clear in the snow making it easy to explore the area. We would love to return in the future !

Amazing views over to Hury Reservoir. Great location for exploring the area too.
