Description

The sitting room has been designed with a large, fitted TV within the fireplace and comfortable seating, while the conservatory offers a pleasant spot to catch up on a good book or enjoy the garden scenery. Step into the well-appointed kitchen to find a range of appliances ready for use, continuing through to the dining room where all can gather during mealtimes. With lawned gardens to both the front and rear, there is plenty of space to sit outside, and the addition of an inflatable hot tub as an extra touch of relaxation. Located centrally between Darlington and Barnard Castle, Ivy Cottage is an ideal base, offering visitors close access to the popular wedding venues of Headlam Hall, The George Hotel, Piercebridge and Walworth Castle, as well as the opportunity to explore the many and varied faces of Teesdale, County Durham and North Yorkshire; offering outstanding countryside views, walks, historic towns and villages. Both Durham and North Yorkshire are steeped in culture, history and industrial heritage. The university city of Durham is home to its 12th century cathedral, castle and spectacular location on the banks of the River Wear, further complimented by cobbled streets, market boutiques, restaurants, theatre and galleries. For history lovers among you, visit the 14th century Raby Castle in Staindrop, set in a scenic deer park, or the Piercebridge Roman Fort, with Stanwick Iron Age Fortifications only a few miles away. Explore more culture in the historic market town of Barnard Castle, home of the famous Bowe Museum and High Force Waterfall or why not visit some of your high street favourites in the thriving town of Darlington. Darlington is the home of the steam engine which can be explored both here and in the Shildon Railway Museum. The famous Beamish Open Air Museum and Kilhope Lead Mining Museums are both easily accessible. There’s plenty of outdoor activities that can be enjoyed in and around Ingleton, such as Hamsterly Forest as well as great walking and cycling adventures in Teesdale and Swaledale. For something a little bit different, why not visit during the Kynren Festival in Bishop Aukland – a spectacular live action outdoor theatre show! For guests wishing to venture further afield, the historic cities of York and Ripon, Lake District, North Yorkshire Dales, and at the East Coast, Saltburn. Futher information on these and other attractions can be found in the Ivy Cottage Welcome Pack.

Gainford is a charming village settled on the River Tees and surrounded by luscious lands and close to the North Pennines AONB and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, making it perfect for your action-packed adventure in County Durham.
