Cottage holiday rentals in Bishop Auckland

Sundial is a beautiful cottage, central to Skelton. The cottage is comfortable and has the convenience of a downstairs and upstairs bathroom / shower and a separate utility room. I booked Sundial for the hot tub and this feature didn’t disappoint. A superb way of relaxing after a busy day. We visited Saltburn (walkable along the Cleveland way) and Whitby (I highly recommend the Park & Ride). Before coming home I drove to Marske-on-sea where my dogs and I enjoyed a gorgeous walk along the wide, open beach. Marske has a dog friendly cafe (The dog house) if any dog lovers are reading this review!

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Amazing stay at Gatehouse Barn. It is a really lovely, homely, welcoming place to stay. Plenty of sleeping options downstairs and up and a cosy living space. Also loads of seating areas outside which were perfect to enjoy the sun. The area is really quiet and peaceful and the location of the barn is extra secluded and private. As a final bonus, the attached spa area was a real treat after long walks (loads of which can start literally from the front door).

A lovely place to stay! Host was very helpful and friendly. Had an amazing field nearby for kids and dogs. Would recommend!

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. The location was lovely and peaceful and the hosts were really helpful and friendly.

Our second time at the gorgeous Preston Mill Loft and it was just as wonderful as we remember. Super dog friendly, the upgraded hot tub is IMMENSE, comfy bed, welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen. The lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We had an absolute wonderful two-night stay at this cottage! It's lovely, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-equipped with everything you could need. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, and the hosts were so friendly and quick to respond to all our messages. The location is perfect, just a short few minutes drive to the beach. What truly stood out was their amazing hospitality: we accidentally left something behind, and they sent it to us via next-day delivery without hesitation. We can't recommend this place enough!

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

We ere a group of 4 friends, plus Flix (cat) and Zumi (dog), celebrating a 50th birthday. Th facilities and location were perfect. All bedrooms are of similar size and loads of bathrooms! The substantial garden is secure for pets (and children) with wonderful views, peaceful setting, despite being near a main road, wildlife and even a stunning 'Strawberry' Moon. Parking, taxis or even takeaways are easy! Photographs don’t do it justice The decoration of every room, the 'quirkiness' and thought put in throughout, including games I haven't played since a child (Bagatelle), just made this feel like home! Jeff, our host, was wonderful, giving us local farm eggs and lots of local knowledge, plus walking trails we enjoyed. He also left us some DVDs which meant a late night ‘walk down memory lane’ with The Bourne Identity! A perfect holiday and our favourite place we have ever stayed. It surpassed our expectations in every way and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Jeff!

The cottage was beautiful, very clean and had everything you need to feel like home from home. The area is very easy to get to but feels like you are deep in the countryside. Will definitely return on my next trip to UK. 10/10

What a find Burneside cottage was. It was immaculately clean and had everything you could possibly want and more. Felt right at home from the minute we arrived. Comfortable lounge with log burner which came in handy with the cooler weather although the heating was sufficient it gave that bit extra. Gayle is a great place to base yourself to explore the Dales and surrounding areas. Absolutely beautiful. It was a short walk into Hawes of around 10mins or so where there are a couple grocery stores selling most things. We found The Wensleydale Pantry great value and the home cooked food and extensive menu was superb. The Wensleydale creamery is about a 5min walk and the cheese making experience is worth going to. All in all a brilliant cottage to stay in and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks for everything Alyson including the great scones, jam, bread and milk on arrival. Andy & Jackie. Andy

Stayed for 2 nights whilst visiting family in Darlington. The property was comfortable clean & warm & a good size & could comfortably cater for the 4 adults who stayed. The village was quiet & picturesque & had some nice walks down by the river.

A clean, comfortable and peaceful home. Liz and Joe were helpful and attentive without being overbearing. Would use again if we needed accommodation in the Hexham area.

We had an amazing week it was perfect for the dogs straight out to the Valley Gardens and a good sized, secure garden. Amenities were close to hand including train station and bus stops we didn’t use the car all week. Stunning walks and friendly bars and cafes. The Outlook was an amazing property we can’t recommend it enough. Also check out the spa hotel 🥹

Lynnes property was such a great find. It offered us (four adults, two children, one dog), such a great place to base ourselves for our week away. The house is much bigger than it looks in the photos and it has everything you need including loads of useful items for small children (toys, plates/ bowls, toilet seat etc.). We definitely recommend Lynnes place.

what a beautiful cottage. Decorated perfectly, cozy and quaint. we walked every day from the cottage. It's perfectly placed. The sun room was perfect to chill in on a summers evening. Comfortable bed which is always needed after long days I the sun

Another visit to this cottage and it was as good as ever. The cottage is very clean, welcoming and warm. The location is perfect - quiet but central and just a few minutes walk to the palace. We will be back soon!

Excellent accommodation and the little personal touches were lovely, the dogs certainly enjoyed their personalised treats. The bed was great, the gardens great for pottering and relaxing and the quality of the bed, in particular the linen, made for an excellent nights sleep. Alison and Paul were always on hand if we needed them, but left us to get on which we like when we’re away. The pub and the deli/shop in the village are both excellent, well worth visiting. A great stay all round.

We had a great stay in Hawes, the house had everything we needed. Hawes and surrounding areas are beautiful. Diane left some suggestions of things to do and we did the waterfall in Hardraw, and the highest inn in England, both fantastic.

We absolutely adored our stay in the Little Barn. We felt so at home there. Everything about it was really comfortable - the sofa, the bed (REALLY comfy!), the furnishings, and the warmth of the place (good heating). The kitchen had all that we needed, and we loved being able to use the outdoor pizza oven, enjoying homemade pizzas and a bottle of Prosecco on the last night (Rebecca had very kindly left us the Prosecco and lots of other lovely things; eggs, coffee capsules for the coffee machine, some lovely chocolate - thank you so much!). The surroundings are really cool - the moors are so different to what we’re used to (coming from Hampshire/Surrey) and the walks through them and out onto the Dales were just spectacular. The view from the cottage was very cute; sheep and rabbits nearby. The cottage has books in it with great suggestions as to what to do/where to go, which we used to plan our outings. Truly a wonderful stay and we will definitely be coming back!

What a great house, had everything we needed, is modern but still cosy, great pizza place (knead a slice) nearby, and fab tea room on the square. Beautiful local walks - deer park, binchester roman fort by the river. Thoroughly recommend and highly enjoyable!

We had a lovely stay at The Hayloft while visiting my sister who lives nearby. We love the area and the cottage is in a lovely peaceful location away from the main road and with footpaths on the doorstep. We had lots of great days out revisiting places like Richmond, Barnard Castle and Deepdale Wood and Raby Castle. The cottage was very clean, cosy and well equipped with a lovely view of the fields from the bedroom and a beautiful private garden. The bathroom has also been updated really nicely since the photos were taken for the listing and really exceeded expectations. Thank you for an amazing break. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

We had a great stay here, the cottage is in a fantastic location with a lovely pub just over the road. The area is peaceful and pretty and the cottage itself is so lovely too. Comfy beds and stocked with everything you could need. Kimberly was very friendly and helpful 😊 would highly recommend!

If I could give this Airbnb a 10, I would absolutely give it a 10. I had the best time while staying there. Beautiful flowing stream just makes it even more relaxing when the windows are open. The Debra Cottage is so beautiful and more. Cozy, safe, and lots of trail hiking nearby. I can’t recommend the cottage more as I just loved it and felt right at home.
