The jewel in the crown must be the Bowes Museum, built in the style of a French chateau and housing an internationally-acclaimed collection of European fine arts, ceramics and paintings. Not to be missed is the silver life-sized swan at the Bowes Museum, this mechanical masterpiece is incredibly lifelike and it actually moves as it preens its feathers on a shimmering metallic pool. Other attractions include Auckland Castle, Raby Castle, High Force Waterfall, The Forbidden Corner at Leyburn, Duncombe Park, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Gardens, which can all be reached in under an hour.

Lovely little cottage hidden away in the middle of everything. Very clean and beautifully appointed. Little courtyard garden, fully enclosed and safe for the dogs. Kitchen well equipped and lots of hot water in the shower. Seconds from the lovely high street, full of little shops and dog friendly cafes. 2 minutes from Morrisons and the car park.

Excellent location with parking permit supplied for nearby park.
Excellent location with parking permit supplied for nearby park. Attractive decor and scones from nearby cafe a nice touch. Whilst there is a folder with some useful information it wasn't clear how heating control worked thus a more detailed instruction would be good. Also couldn't see instruction booklets left for kitchen appliances which again are often useful for unfamiliar controls.
