Warm, spacious and very comfortable, there is plenty of room in this single-storey property. A bright and airy living room has views overlooking the adjacent meadow and the dining area is across from a well-stocked bookcase with books, local tourist information, DVDs and a gallery of local images to inspire your days out.

A garden to the side of the property enjoys the woodland flora and fauna, overlooking a wild meadow home to the owner’s friendly pigs. Just past the cottage is an open camping field, belonging to the estate, but you are more than welcome to bring a picnic blanket and grab a spot and enjoy the evening with a bottle and nibbles, watching the amazing sunsets over the Pennine Hills. There is plenty to see nearby with the traditional village of Bowes and its impressive ruins of a 12th century keep just a short walk away, or the beautiful nearby market town of Barnard Castle with a medieval castle, market days and a whole host of tearooms and antique shops to enjoy. With large parts of Teesdale falling within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you have plenty to see and do within easy reach.

Lovely spot . Handy for Barnard Castle.,Only downside is the constant noise of traffic on the A 66. ##### Pam Bracewell This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Paul Worth 4 Jun 2025 #### Had a pleasant stay here the cottage has everything you need it's warm and cosy it's in a good loc Had a pleasant stay here the cottage has everything you need it's warm and cosy it's in a good location for exploring and the bed is comfortable just one thing would put us off returning. . . The Security lights are left on all night which makes the bedroom way too bright for us to sleep properly , maybe if they could be activated by motion sensor or putting a blackout blind on the bedroom window 👍 I still recommend staying at mill force cottage ##### Paul Worth This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth Webb 8 Sept 2025 #### An attractive and very well presented cottage, very clean and pristine in its decoration. An attractive and very well presented cottage, very clean and pristine in its decoration. It had everything I needed for a short stay. The only down sides were the sound of the nearby A66 which never seemed to let up, even at night, but this was something the owners couldn't help! It would also have been good to have black-out blinds in the bedroom, because security lights were on all night and made the room too bright for my taste. The owners were friendly, there was a welcome pack, and it was lovely to meet their collie and see the chickens running around outside the door! ##### Ruth Webb ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [5\* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Jacob's Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnard-Castle-Hotels-Jacobs-Lodge.h26992356.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Morritt Country House Hotel & The Garage Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnard-Castle-Hotels-The-Morritt-Country-House-Hotel-The-Garage-Spa.h11899080.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Teesdale holiday cottage, sleeps 4 + dog at Bank Top, Mickleton, Barnard Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnard-Castle-Hotels-A-2-Bed.h63001229.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) ---
