A friendly welcome on arrival with tea and excellent home made cakes. This continued throughout our visit when returning each day.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My wife and I stayed at Dales Farm on the eve of the Great North Run 2012. Tucked away in the stunning scenery of Upper Weardale, you'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful English rural location. Dales Farm, with its hillside position, allows you to soak up all those wonderful views. What a friendly welcome from Terry & Anita ! Once we'd been […] shown our room, there was tea, coffee and home-made cakes waiting for us and two other guests - just what was needed after a long day. The Sunday also happened to be my wife's birthday and I had asked Anita if she would provide a bottle of sparkling wine so we could celebrate. A chilled bottle of Cava was dutifully waiting in an ice bucket, together with two elegant wine glasses and a dish of strawberries - thank you so much. Our bedroom was beautiful - just the way we would have designed it ourselves, i.e. light, airy, modern and with nice touches, plus modern conveniences such as Freeview (with a good signal) and free internet access. The mattress was firm but very comfortable; that, and some quality pillows, ensured a really good night's sleep. In the morning, we were treated to one of the best power showers we've ever had in what was an attractively tiled and spotlessly clean bathroom. Whilst we had to leave shortly after 7am, Anita saw us off with a 'packed breakfast' of smoked salmon bagels, muffins and yoghurts, even though we would have normally sat down to a 'full English'. We WILL be finding an excuse to return. Read more
