About Wagtail Cottage
Wagtail Cottage is a traditional stone-built cottage built in 1870 and situated in the wonderful rambling countryside of rural County Durham, less than 2 miles from Raby Castle.
Cosy and pet-friendly, Wagtail Cottage is located in the rural hamlet of Esperley, 3 miles from Staindrop. It's the perfect retreat for anyone wishing to explore the local countryside or just take it easy. Owned by a dog-loving lady, Wagtail is a great base for dog walks, and is available to rent all year round. |
Facilities
Wagtail Cottage has great facilities with room to sleep 3 people and up to 3 dogs!
The cottage is self-catering and there will be welcoming treats for both pets and people on arrival. Warm and welcoming, the cottage is cosy and tastefully decorated. Wagtail Cottage benefits from a lovely garden (please note: approach and parking is at the rear of the property) that adjoins open countryside, making it an ideal place to arrive back to following a day of rambling or sightseeing. Since making available this holiday cottage in May 2018, the feedback we've had so far has been lovely. But there's always room for improvement, so do let us know if we've missed anything at all! |
Location
The surrounding area is ideal for walking and sightseeing, with a host of historical buildings to visit nearby, including impressive Raby Castle, The Bowes Museum, Egglestone Hall, set in attractive walled gardens, the ruins of Barnard Castle.
Enjoy a stroll along the River Tees or for the more energetic, follow the Teesdale Way up the valley. A few miles drive brings you to the popular market town of Barnard Castle with a great selection of tea rooms and antique shops lining the cobbled streets. The spectacular set of falls, including High Force, Low Force and Cauldron Snout, lie further up the river valley and are well worth visiting, as is the charming village of Middleton-in-Teesdale. |
