Embrace the cool, contemporary styling of this Scandinavian-inspired lodge in County Durham – a truly unique retreat surrounded by remarkable scenery. One of three peaceful lodges set opposite the River Tees, the property enjoys a wonderful location with the Teesdale Way passing right by it. Sleeping up to four guests, the lodge offers flexible accommodation with two zip-and-link bedrooms that can be arranged as either king-size or twin rooms, making it ideal for couples or sharers. Outside, the veranda creates a wonderfully relaxing setting, complete with a hot tub and outdoor seating for sunny evenings or peaceful nights spent stargazing.
Set on a gently rolling hillside, the lodge enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views from its private, furnished terrace. Step through the wall-to-wall patio doors into the bright, open-plan living space, where a contemporary wood burner creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Comfortable sofas and a wall-mounted Smart TV provide the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Both bedrooms lead off the main living area, with one benefiting from an en-suite shower room and the other served by a stylish family bathroom. Large picture windows flood each bedroom with natural light while framing the beautiful surrounding views. Private parking is available for two cars.
