About the host
Hosted by Gillian Macfarlane
My name is Gillian. My family and I fell in love with Caroline Cottage and the area of Teesdale. During our holiday we found a quaint cottage up for sale in the pretty village of Romaldkirk. It was perfect, just what we'd dreamed of. My husband was also delighted that there were two pubs in the village, a minutes walk from the front door!! We knew we had a lot of hard work ahead of us, after all she is 200 years old. It has been a labour of love but well worth it and now we have a cosy cottage which we hope our guests will find warm and inviting.
Why they chose this property
Romaldkirk is a quaint village tucked away in the unspoilt Durham Dales. It boasts three village greens on one of which the old stocks still remain and a beautiful old church often called The Cathedral of the Dales. 2 Public houses within a 2 minute walk from Caroline Cottage.
The village has two pubs, one with a very popular restaurant and the other situated on the village green with outdoor seating and which is very popular with the numerous walkers who flock to the village. From the cottage a short walk across fields brings you to the lovely and sometimes quite wild River Tees.
High Force - the largest Waterfall in England
Barnard Castle - A historical market town
Raby Castle - where the deer roam freely
Bowes Museum - with hidden delights
Hamsterley Forest - great for exploring
and finally the route for the Pennine Way
