"The best accommodation I have ever stayed in for a holiday!"
The owners, Pat and Yvonne, are the most helpful, accommodating and hospitable people I've ever met. Considering we were apparently unusually knee high in snow for most of the week I had a nice time and this wouldn't have been possible without them. They dug my car out of the snow on too many occasions, took us to get supplies and even gave us supplies, but better than this nothing was any hassle to them. You just go so much value and service for your money here, it's worth double what you pay! Read less
Likes:
Everything - the infrared sauna, which helps you lose weight! The jacuzzi bath, the log fire, the big beds, the sunroom, the quietness and seclusion, it's warmth, the Alpaca's and even the turkeys!
Dislikes:
Not one thing! It is perfect and will definitely return. So so much character and lots to do, if you're mobile!

Little Owl Lodge overlooks our Alpaca farm and surrounding Durham Dales countryside.

The area is ideal for walking and cycling and is an excellent base to visit other parts of County Durham, or neighbouring counties of North Yorkshire, Cumbria and Northumberland. Teesdale is an unspoilt landscape of green valleys and dry stone walls, grouse moors and fells. Our farm is situated near the edge of the North Pennines Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this area encompasses a large area in Teesdale, and part of neighbouring Weardale.

We offer free transport to and from local pub or restaurant once a week if required (within 10 mile radius, if weather conditions are suitable).

In the Lodge you will have access to a selection of Local Guide Books, Maps and Local Walk Details, Attraction’s Leaflets, Flora and Fauna Guides, Details of Local Pub and Restaurant Menus. We also have a selection of children’s and adult’s games, jigsaws and books available. We offer a Complimentary DVD Service (Comprehensive Library 100 titles).

You are very welcome to meet our farm animals (and even help with feeding), but for your own and our animals safety we like you to organise this with us. We are situated in a rural location 1/3 of a mile from the main road with driving access along a farm track (well maintained), we are surrounded at a distance by other farms - the sights and sounds, (and sometimes smells!) of a farm should be expected.

Over the past few years we have planted many trees and hedgerows to encourage wildlife, and have installed bird boxes to encourage nesting birds. We have many Owl visitors to the farm, which includes our resident Little Owl, as well as Barn and Tawny.

Shop/Newsagent 1 mile. Pub 1 mile. Mini supermarket 3 miles. Larger supermarkets and shopping (Barnard Castle) 6 miles. Sports Centre /Gym/Swimming Pool (Barnard Castle). Golf (Barnard Castle). Bishop Auckland 9 miles. Darlington 15 miles. Durham City 22 miles.
Environmental Statement
We do encourage our guests to recycle while staying with us, we have facilities for paper, glass and cans and a compost bin where guests can dispose of bio degradable products like teabags, fruit & vegetable peelings.
