Set on a gentle hillside with sweeping views over the River Tees, this contemporary lodge pairs clean, modern design with the peaceful charm of the countryside. Accessed via a set of external stairs leading down from the parking area, the accommodation comfortably sleeps four, it’s an ideal escape for a couple with children. Inside, the lodge includes two well-appointed double bedrooms (which can be arranged as twins), along with two sleek shower rooms, one of them en-suite. The heart of the home is a bright, open-plan living space that combines a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and lounge, all framed by panoramic views of Teesdale through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Step out onto your private deck to relax in a discreetly placed hot tub, perfect for soaking under the stars or unwinding as the river flows by. Modern touches include Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, and a large-screen TV. Just outside, a riverside path offers tranquil walks at any time of day, while convenient parking for two cars is located just behind the lodge.
