This upside down converted barn/reading room is the perfect getaway from it all. We had a fantastic week walking and enjoying the beautiful views from this cottage. Friendly neigbours and the owner is just lovely. No complaints and will definitely come back...thank you for a lovely holiday!

We were more that satisfied in the cottage we stayed in.. It was lovely and clean heating was on when we got in it was lovely and warm. Everything we needed was provided, we would be more than happy to stay there again if we needed to. Mrs Scott the owner was very pleasant, accommodating and her little barn conversion is a credit to her it’s really lovely. Would highly recommended friends and family to go her and her barn.

Mrs Lee

January 2019

This was our 7th visit to this cosy cottage.. There have been some changes since our previous visit, enlarged sitting area, larger TV, new cooker and there are lovely new carpets - so it’s better than the photos on the website. We love the views from the cottage and the great walks right from the door, even In the snow that we had this year. The friendly owner ensured the cottage was warm on our arrival but we didn’t see her until we left as we had no problems. Great food & drink at The Strathmore Arms (5 mins walk), means little cooking was needed at the cottage.

Mrs Scott

Lovely spot with great walks on your door step.. Friendly pub in walking distance.

Mr Lawson

November 2018

Loved the cottage, be aware that the steps are a bit steep, will be back..

Ms Loh

September 2018

Absolutely beautiful scenery around the cottage; lots to do and see without having to take the car anywhere.. There is also a pub in the village but the nearest shop is 3 miles away, so worth taking whatever supplies you need. The house is extremely well situated for long and short walks and very comfortable and cosy (the heating was efficient!). It is a beautiful building and village and all the necessary amenities are provided in the cottage (apart from towels, but saw this on a previous review and brought our own). Big kitchen and amazing views from the table while having breakfast over the fields and of sheep and cows grazing. The owner kindly let us bring two small dogs, so worth asking if you are in the same situation. We had a relaxing and very enjoyable time and hope to return soon.

Ms Davies

August 2018

Holwick is the perfect location if you want to enjoy stunning countryside and a real break from town or city life.. With long or short walks easily accessible directly from the cottage, it’s a perfect place for people who enjoy being outside. The cottage has wonderful views from the living area. We loved watching the changing weather over the dales and the cows, sheep, rabbits and pheasants in the fields just outside. The owner is very helpful, when we couldn’t work out how to light the oven, we rang her and she arrived within 10 mins. The local pub is very friendly and has a great selection of beers, ciders, good food and a beautiful garden. I agree with previous reviews that the living area decor at the cottage could do with updating and that the small garden would be a very pleasant place to sit and enjoy the stunning views but is in need of some TLC. Overall we had a lovely week and would recommend a visit.

Mr Frost

July 2018

This is an outstanding location for everything you would want from an outdoors holiday..

Mr Harrison

Lovely cottage for 2 in a lovely area .. Plenty of places to go for long walks and to admire the scenery . Our holiday was ruined after a road traffic collision (not my fault) with a swedish motorcyclist who was riding on the wrong side of the road left us with no car for half of the week . Even though we have courtesy car cover in our insurance policy the courtesy car provider does not allow dogs in their cars .So no replacement car until we got home . Had £500 cover in the policy to get ourselves home but again couldnt hire a car because of their no dogs in car policy . The only taxi firm near to where we were staying was the same - no dogs . Eventually found a taxi firm from near to where we live who would transport us home with the dog which nearly cost as much as we paid for the cottage .

Mrs Turnell

May 2018

Lovely setting cottage is in an ideal location far from the maddening crowd .. facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay. local pub very welcoming.

Mr Ward-harrison

This holiday cottage is not exactly as described by Sykes Cottages.. I do not know if this is down to Sykes or the owner. The cottage is in need of updating and refurbishing. The fixtures and fittings are worn and some are broken ie the blinds and curtain retainers. I had to repair the toilet seat just to use it. The site describes the cottage as having a garden and patio seating area. The garden is unkempt and there is no patio - the whole garden is ten feet square. The parking is ok but shared with a neighbour so you must park tight to your side. The parking area and path to the cottage is done in large cobble stones which are difficult underfoot. If you are elderly or not particularly fleet of foot you may find this a problem. We are not elderly but my wife managed to fall within the first ten minutes. The steps up to the cottage are steep for access and luggage loading. You can enter and exit via the bathroom door. The stairs in the cottage are steep and poorly lit - not aided by a dark coloured carpet. If you have a dog its easy for it to fall down the stairs. The cottage is upside down so you get good views from the upstairs windows. Please be aware that although the cottage is secluded the lane outside is used for farm traffic and whilst we were there it seemed the speed limit was non existent with vehicles flashing by. The caveat is to keep your dog on a lead because if it strays from the area around the cottage it may well succumb to a LandRover and trailer passing at forty miles an our. The local area is very nice and we spent our time exploring the lovely scenery and the Lake District. The cottage is ok if you are just needing a place to base yourself but do not expect luxury fixtures and fittings. The sofa in the lounge area is poor and the tv is tiny (we had to fit new batteries to fix the remote). Overall would we stay here again? - that would have to be a no.

Mrs Mather

April 2018

Absolutely stunning location.. The views from the cottage windows spectacular. Lovely local walks Excellent local pub 5 min walk lovely food, wine and good real ales

Mr Chamberlain

March 2018

We felt that Meadows Edge had all that we needed for our holiday in terms of accommodation and equipment.. For anyone wishing to walk, the location is perfect with many options available directly from the cottage. We also found the local pub and people extremely friendly and welcoming.

Miss Markinson

February 2018

For peace and quiet in the beautiful of settings this little cottage met the criteria and more! It's has everything you need - my parent and I didn't want to leave. With the high force waterfall a lovely walk away and the town of Middleton down the road for shopping you have everything you need to really get away from every day life and relax. The owner was most lovely coming to check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. All the community are very friendly and welcoming. A return stay is definitely on the cards for us.

Mrs Parkin

January 2018

If you like your technology its not the place for you if you want to get away .... If you like your technology its not the place for you if you want to get away from technology and really get your life back to some kind of peace and breath fresh air its fantastic it is a well maintained cottage the owner is great and only down the road and is there if you need anything really enjoyed the stay here

Mr Parker

. Very comfortable characterful cottage. A beautiful area with so many things to see and do .

Miss Gaze

July 2017

It was such a lovely cottage and a lovely area.. I would definitely stay again. The only thing I would perhaps of changed was the sofa. It's very small for two people. Perhaps a little corner sofa. Everything else was perfect.

Mr Randell

May 2017

The cottage is in an amazing location with many beautiful walks and a very friendly pub in the village.. The cottage was comfortable and reasonably well-equipped, but in need of a little tic.

Ms Massiter

A marvellous cottage in a marvellous location.. Owners very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Mr Chalk

June 2016

The location was lovely. The accommodation was very cosy and had everything we needed.

Mr Drybrough

This is a good location for walking, peace and quiet, friendly locals and a great pub 3 mins walk from the property.

Mr Jones

April 2016

A quiet warm refuge from the wet blustery weather.

Mrs Andrews

February 2016

The location was great and the views were stunning. The little cottage we stayed in was cosy and warm. The owner of the cottage and the locals were all very welcoming. We can't wait to go back.

FlorianFY

January 2016

The property is a converted farm building of some sort and is reasonably furnished in a 'holiday home' style. Nothing exceptional either way, not outstandingly bad, not outstandingly good, its 'nice' ,perhaps a little bit beginning to fray around the edges, Located in a small hamlet, and here perhaps my own prejudices will reflect on the review, its not barren/ desolate/ isolated but when youre about 25 mins from the bright lights big city of Barnard Castle (sense the sarcasm in the last phrase) you get the picture that you are 'getting away' from it somewhat. Whilst I was after a fashion able to get internet access, mobile coverage was non-existent. Its nice, the owner is lovely, but I sense the last of that type of holiday i'd do alone.

Mrs Friday

June 2015

The location is stunning and the cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside. A perfect area for walking. The local pub served good food and was very welcoming.

Mr Yaseen

February 2015

We had great time, the owner is really nice, helpful and friendly.

Mrs Phillipson

December 2014

A lovely little cottage in a peaceful location.

Mrs Parker

November 2014

The views, the friendliness and the peacefulness cannot be faulted. The owner is absolutely lovely and we would not hesitate to recommend this property and hope to return in the not too distant future.

davehayers

October 2014

Meadows Edge is located in an ideal location for walking or just relaxing. With no mobile Signal and very limited wifi you can escape from the every day hustle and bustle. This upside down cottage allows you to relax and look out onto amazing views of Holwick Scar and surrounding countryside. The cottage is cosy even during some very inclement weather. The boiler however is located directly behind the bedroom so may disturb light sleepers. Surprised to find that no towels are provided or a basic welcome pack. (Perhaps we have been spoiled by other letting agents?) Local pub is just minutes away and serves some pretty decent meals.

Mrs Over

July 2014

The views from the cottage were fantastic, a lovely quiet area, very friendly people, abundance of wildlife on the doorstep and nice big mugs to have a proper cup of tea.

Mr Pate

June 2014

The area around the property is fantastic - especially for walkers.

Mrs Hocking

May 2014

Great cottage, perfect for two people. In a beautiful location with a friendly owner.

Guest

March 2014

Great views from living area upstairs. Good setup internally. Really would like to use in summer when can make best use of garden. Only one little thing for us was the boiler was right by your head in bed, so sleeping for me was an issue. For anyone who sleeps lightly this might be an issue. Otherwise fab!!

Ms Coleman

January 2014

A wonderful cottage in a superb location. Great for a get away break at any time of year. Easy walking distance to local pub which was really welcoming and friendly. Great walks and scenery all around. The cottage was warm and cosy with everything we needed. Loved it!

Miss Collins

We know the area having used the cottage twice before. Property lovely. Great views. Quaint and everything needed to hand. Will be back!

Mrs Wehrle

October 2013

The peace and quiet which was exactly what the doctor ordered. Our week at the cottage was perfect, and we are hoping to return in the spring. The scenery is stunning and we went on lots of walks in all directions. I can honestly not think of a single negative thing to say.

Mr Norton

Lovely cottage very well set out, with the living room and kitchen upstairs, making the most of the fabulous views. Everything you need is in the cottage and the owner is very friendly and helpful.

Mrs Tupman

August 2013

The location is excellent. There are stunning walks within 5 minutes of the cottage. I enjoy the calm and friendly nature of the area. I feel very secure and would have no hesitation on going on walks alone. Everyone is friendly. The local shops provide everything you require. We know we will make a return visit as this holiday was just about perfect.

Mr Leah

July 2013

The property was excellent, and was in a very nice part of England. There is a very friendly pub 5 minutes down the road. This was our second visit, and won't be the last hopefully!

January 2013

My partner and i work in the city and wanted to get away from it all for a week, and thats exactly what we got from Meadows Edge. We were greeted by the owners daughter who lives down the lane, she was very friendly and offered her assistance if we needed it at anytime while we were there. The Cottage is off the beaten track, well kept and has everything you would need for a relaxing break, you will find every utensil you can think of in the kitchen! It has excellent views from all upstairs windows, cosy bedroom downstairs with a modern bathroom en suite. The cottage is less than 5 minutes away (walking) from the friendly local pub which does great meals and 10 minutes(driving) to shops. Lots to do in the area, farmers market in Barnard Castle, walks, High Force Waterfall is a must and is only 20 minutes away in the car. Overall we had a great stay even when the weather was bad we cuddled up on the sofa with the heating on and watched the world go by from the comfort of the warm cosy cottage. We will definately be going back for more in 2013.

Keishajade

The cottage was beautiful . Perfect and cozy for two , we arrived in the night so were astounded by the beautiful views when we woke the next day . The local pub was very friendly and inviting and the food was beautiful perfectly priced and very generous portions were a added bonus ! The walks were a little hard to figure out but once we got on the right track we were could really taken in the beautiful surroundings . The cottage was well equipt but make sure to bring towels ! The cottage is in a secluded location perfect for getting away from it all and relaxing would recommend this to anyone and will definitely be back .

Miss Dixon

November 2012

The Cottage is ideal for a romantic break, nice and bright in the day with fantastic views and warm and cosy in the evenings. Great location, close enough to the shops if needed, but far enough away for some peace and quiet.

Mr Hanby

The cottage was a delight, it was in a beautiful area and the idea that it was an upside down property made good use of the scenery. It was very warm and very comfortable...full marks to the owner.

Mrs Higson

October 2012

Friendly and helpful community. A homely cottage.

Mr Blewitt

July 2012

Peace and tranquillity, sheep and rabbits still attempting to eat all the grass in neighbouring fields. The local people who made us so very welcome especially the new Landlord and Landlady at the Strathmore Arms 500yds down the hill. The cottage is a good base for exploring Yorkshire surrounding areas,waterfalls Low and High Force easy to walk to.

Mrs Higginbotham

May 2012

Fabulous views and walks from the door, we love this place.

Ideal for 2 adults and a dog... Views are sensational. Walks in all 4 directions. Very cosy and well equipped. Fantastic pub down road

Mrs Fenwick

March 2012

This was a lovely cosy cottage. Very warm and the view from every window is like a framed photo on a Dales Calendar. There are wonderful walks in every direction.

Mrs Colins

January 2012

This gorgeous quirky little cottage is in a beautiful location, like stepping into a corner of paradise. The scenery from every window was panoramic, the cottage was warm and inviting. The owner of the cottage was welcoming, and although the place is set as if in the middle of beyond, the nearby pub is great and the local people that we met were wonderfully warm and inviting. We will most certainly be going back, again and again I suspect!

December 2011

It is a lovely, cosy cottage with all the amenities, a home from home. The location is ideal for High Force waterfall and walking in the area.

We got a warm, personal welcome from the owner. The weather was awful but that did not matter. We walked to High Force one day and spent a day mooching around the towns. It was a lovely weekend and so nice to be able to bring our dog.

Mr Smith

October 2011

Lovely location, we explored various villages and towns. It's wonderful to be able to take the dog. The owners met us on arrival and showed us round the cottage - a lovely personal touch. We will come back.

The cottage is lovely, the location glorious, wildlife superb and the walking/ views were out of this world! We have already booked for our third visit!

Ms Mountford

June 2010

My wife and I stayed at the cottage for the last week in March, leaving on Good Friday. We had an excellent time for the whole week, with no negative moments. The cottage was very cozy with brilliant views across and down the dale and the village pub was very friendly, the local Sunday walkers even shared their 'cheese board' with us. Helen, the landlady of the pub, proved be a wonderful host. On our last day there, we went for a walk along the dale, arriving at the cottage in lovely spring sunshine, within a minute, we had a white-out! A superb cottage and location - we'll be back!

Stayed in this cottage over the Easter Period and had such a great time. We had snow outside on the evening we arrived but the cottage was very warm and cosy and the owner who lives nearby came and took us around and welcomed us. The fresh dafodils etc. which were supplied was a very nice touch. The Cottage is gorgous and very comfortable with outstanding views out over Holwick and Teesdale. It is in a very quiet area with a pub within walking distance and shops can be found in nearby Middleton. I would certainly recommend this property and would love to return soon.

Mr Mutimer

May 2010

An excellent cottage in an outstanding area. Great walking from the doorstep. Would definitely visit again; a great holiday.

March 2010

The owners are very friendly and welcoming; that gets you off to a great start. We loved the views from every window in the living space - many rabbits to watch. It was heavily snowing all the time we were there, which meant we were unable to do much walking, but it was very cosy to be sitting watching the snow with the views from the comfort of the living room. The only small downside is that it was an exceptionally cold week (we were snowed in) and with the bedroom being downstairs, it was a little chilly - but not enough to effect our time there. We will definately be back.

Mr Shevill

January 2010

Access to good walking country.

Ms Whitaker

An absolutely stunning place to spend a few days; amazing scenery from the warmth and comfort of the sofa - will definitely be back.

Mrs Lane

December 2009

It was a wonderful, unique property that was very clean, well maintained, warm welcome, cosy and comfortable in a fantastic relaxing area of beauty. This is a great location for a chillaxing few days away.

Service was second to none. Home very secluded,Lovely for a nice quiet break. Area had nice walks,(not to challenging) House very clean,Good facilities. Handy pub(Good Meals)Friendly. Lounge could do with another armchair.

After a stressfull time this cottage break helped revive my good spirits. The magnificent views from the cottage and fantastic local walks helped us to totally relax. The cottage was vey comfortable and the owners helpful and made us feel welcome. I would loved to have booked this year again but circumstances won't allow us to book ahead. I'm praying for an unlikely cancellation for this very popular cottage nearer the holiday season.

Owners very helpful and welcoming on arival. The cottage is very cosy and warm, its location is within easy walking distance of High & Low Force on the Tees. Plenty of other local outdoor walks from the door. Middleton is nearby and a delightful village with everything you need for a holiday. Within striking distance of Beamish Museum and Durham over the moors. Cothersdale, the local cheese is superb. Could not fault anything!

Mr Loach

October 2009

Wonderful walking in the country. The cottage was very peaceful and quiet.

We had wonderful walks on our doorstep and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was beautiful and relaxing. We will be going back.

Griffiths

March 2009

The isolation of the cottage, with only farm vehicles passing, and the fact that some wonderful walks were right on the doorstep made this an ideal base for exploring the countryside. After a full day outdoors it was great to come back to a lovely warm cottage that provided views across the fields, enhanced by the fact that Meadows Edge was an 'upside-down' property.

Mr Wilson

December 2008

The barn was lovely and warm when we arrived on a cold snowy evening. The location and views from the barn are magic.

Mr Mrs Braithwaite

A beautiful cottage, lovingly cared for, in an amazing area with stunning scenery on the doorstep. The owners were very considerate, providing a wide range of guides and information about what the area had to offer. We were very happy with our choice of cottage and holiday destination - we really needed a break from the city and that's what we got.

Ms Leesons

Meadows Edge was a lovely property tucked away in a great location for walking. The pub, just a 1 min walk down the road was great and extremely welcoming, with the sunday papers and warm fire - you couldn't ask for more. The lunch at the farm was out of this world and a absolute must. Thoroughly recommend to all my friends and family.

Mr Raymond

January 2007

The cottage was just simply stunning. The owner gave us a very warm welcome, and I would again like to congratulate you for a great job done.

Compact yet ideal as a base for two people. The ideal location to chill out and recharge your batteries. Surrounding scenery is breath taking. A very peaceful location. Would definitely revisit, fantastic holiday!

Miss Marlow

The best thing about the holiday was the setting. We absolutely loved the North Pennines. We enjoy walking so it was perfect for it. We loved walking along the River Tees, which was just a few minutes away from the cottage. The cottage was small but cosy and we loved going back there after a day out walking.

Miss Whalley

Perfect spot for walking straight from the door. Pub within walking distance.

Ms Armstrong

The seclusion and the freedom to walk in beautiful natural surroundings after months of city living.The cosy fire after wet, windy, foggy days out.

Mr McIntosh

Cottage was very cosy, essential for winter time, and we had our fair share of mist and rain! Walking in the area is superb and several walks can be done straight from the cottage.

Mr Curtis

The farm kitchen and the Scott family made the holiday special. We will be returning and hope to try one of the larger properties, and then we can bring more of our family. This has to be one of the best holidays we have had. Met some locals at the pub and enjoyed each others company.

Miss Raynor

Very beautiful setting and convenient to have a pub literally 2 mins away.
