3 Bedroom Cottage in Wycliffe, Barnard Castle

The historic Boot & Shoe Cottage, once a cobblers and a pub, lies on the southern bank of the River Tees at an ancient river crossing from Yorkshire into Durham. We offer a warm welcome with a roaring log stove and home-baking, comfy sofas and country antique furnishings. The River Tees flows past the back garden with an abundance of wildlife including the resident kingfishers and occasional otter and to the front there are fields with horses, sheep and rabbits. A short walk through our wood brings you to the tennis court. Private fishing is also available.
The cosy sitting room looks onto a small front garden and fields, while the kitchen and dining area has a log stove and French windows opening on to the garden overlooking the river. There is also a utility room. WC and shower on the ground floor.
Upstairs are two bedrooms - a large double bedroom and an attic-style bedroom with a single bed and a 2' 6" bed, ideal for chiildren.
The two bedrooms share a bathroom with bath (with shower over) and WC.
You will receive a "welcome hamper" of homebaking and groceries on arrival and frozen meals can be ordered in advance.
A cot and high chair are available on request.

Summary: What a find. A lovely cottage with an interesting history. Surrounded by nature. So peaceful and quite. Comfy & cosy with everything you need for your stay. Welcome package from Rachel which was much appreciated. We didn’t venture far as the cottage was so relaxing we didn’t want to go out. But we did go to one of the farm shops/ cafe Rachel recommends in her folder, Mainsgill. We had a lovely lunch and stocked up some local produce. Also bought some lovely home accessories from the shop upstais. We simply loved this place and are trying to arrange leave from work to visit again next year. I can see why it has so many return visitors & hopefully that will be us a well. Highly recommend.
