Barforth Hall Dairy, Barforth Hall, Winston, Gainford, Durham, Dl11 7UL

Lovely cosy clean accommodation with plenty of space. Spectacular views to the front and rear of the property. The wood fired hot tub took about 4 to 5hrs to warm up from it being totally cold to getting to the acquired temperature we wanted - we expected this and it therefore wasn't a problem, infact it was still warm enough the following morning to enjoy. There was plenty of wood provided for it but if there hadn't have been, a quick call to the owner would have rectified it. No problem with hot water in the accommodation and no problem with flies as previously mentioned in other reviews. The accommodation had everything you would need for a break. The owners were friendly and were on hand if required. The farm is huge with lots of livestock. The accommodation has an enclosed rear garden which was secure for our dog to wander in and out. Beautiful walks are available from the doorstep. There was even an opportunity for our daughter to help feed the baby lambs/goats. We would definitely visit again.

We visited for a week with our little boy - the animals opposite the cottage were a big hit! Goats, llamas, horses and cows can all be seen from the cottage. The hot tub is great and once warmed as long as it is kept on top of and used regularly it doesn?t take long to heat back up. There were a few issues - we would agree that there were quite a few flies in the property and also struggled with the hot water but the booster did solve this problem. It would have been nice to have a bit more information in the cottage - local attractions, walks and places to eat etc this would have saved us time researching. We would recommend the black Horse at Ingleton for an Italian - we visited twice and found the food great at a reasonable price! Overall really enjoyed our stay and the price was very reasonable for what we got and the location! Thanks for having us!

I would never visit this cottage again as it was crawling with bugs and the hot tub took ages to heat up and didn?t have enough wood, didn?t have no hot water even though we pressed the boost button so disappointed with the stay came home early as we couldn?t stay any longer as it was so bad! Also dog roaming about which you could tell they was not nice at all! I would not recommend this to anyone at all! I am hoping to get some compensation as it ruined my family holiday!

We spent a really lovely weekend in this rustic little cottage in the heart of the countryside! All facilities worked very well, cottage was very clean and decorated very tastefully. Lots of nice little touches like the eggs, bread and milk that was waiting for us on arrival! The owners have a farm and we loved going for morning walks and saying hello to the goats and llamas (!) Very peaceful and quiet - great to escape the chaos of city life for a few days. Also very much enjoyed the hot tub. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Recently stayed in this cottage for a beautiful wedding in the stunning grounds of barforth hall. The drive down to the cottage puts you in the holiday mood, through lovely English countryside.

The cottage itself was quaint and cosy and perfect for a relaxing stay away from the city.

Fully equipped with amenities in the cottage and it was lovely and clean.

Would love to stay again!

Have just spent a wonderful week exploring the Yorkshire Dales, Moors and County Durham from this charming cottage. Whilst it is remote and set within extensive farmland, it does not take a lot of time before you are out on a main road to explore further afield. The cottage is well signposted and the location instructions were clear from the advert - down a long but well maintained farm track. Having met oncoming traffic coming down this road, there is more than enough space either side to manoeuvre your vehicles past each other (despite a previous reviewers

Yet again 100per cent service and adored our stay we will highly recommend staying here thanks again for being made welcome

This is an isolated cottage which in our view was not on a working farm although there are animals about. The cottage was basic, dirty, and the flooring was very uneven throughout which was a hazard for my elderly mother. The shower had a high step to enter which was awkward for her. There is no shop within easy walking distance and after a long drive to get there , there was a small box of maltesers as a welcome gift but no welcome pack such as bread. milk etc which we have had in other cottages. The log fire had a broken glass front and in my husband's opi
