The Barn at Holwick
The Barn at Holwick is a beautiful, traditional self-catering property nestled in the heart of the stunning Teesdale countryside. This charming converted barn comfortably sleeps six guests and welcomes pets, making it an ideal retreat for families, friends, and walkers seeking peace and relaxation.
Accommodation
At the heart of The Barn is a spacious lounge and dining area, where a cosy wood-burning stove serves as a central feature. A solid pine floor and exposed stone wall enhance the character and warmth of the space, complemented by three generously sized sofas that offer plenty of room to unwind. The dining area features a table with six chairs, while the kitchen also includes a breakfast table for more casual meals. A selection of books, maps, and a TV provide entertainment for quiet evenings in.
The bright and inviting kitchen benefits from double French doors that open onto the garden, flooding the space with natural light. Fully equipped for a comfortable stay, the kitchen includes a tumble dryer, automatic washing machine, electric cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, and a full range of cutlery and utensils. Guests can enjoy stunning views across the garden, drumlins, and distant hills while preparing meals or enjoying breakfast.
The property features three generously sized bedrooms, each with twin beds, comfortably accommodating six guests. Two bedrooms are located upstairs, while the third is on the ground floor, offering easy access. A light and airy family bathroom is complemented by a separate shower room, complete with a walk-in single shower, toilet, and wash basin.
Situated on a quiet lane with no through traffic—ending at the Earl of Strathmore’s shooting lodge—The Barn offers a serene setting. A large lawned garden at the rear provides a peaceful outdoor space, with a shallow stream gently flowing along the bottom, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. A picturesque log store beside the garden attracts local wildlife, while a large shed with covered decking and sun chairs offers a perfect spot to relax in the evenings. Ample parking is available for up to five cars.
Exploring the Area
