Let your heart be captured by the magical allure of Teesdale from this enchanting riverside lodge, perfect for small families and couples. Imagine waking up to the gentle melody of the River Tees as it winds its way through the landscape, offering a breathtaking view from your private decking. Spend your days in nature and your evenings in the warm glow of the wood burner. As night falls, slip into the blissful bubbles of your secluded hot tub and watch the stars appear.

Step inside and unwind. The wonderfully bright and airy open-plan living space is designed for pure relaxation, with huge glass doors that don’t just frame the view, but also make it a part of the room. Get cosy on the plush sofas, warmed by the flickering flames of the wood burner as you settle in for a movie night in front of the Smart TV. The gorgeous, fully equipped kitchen makes every meal a joy to create, and there’s even a dishwasher, so you can spend less time washing up and more time making memories. When slumber calls, two dreamy king-size bedrooms, which can be made up requested as twin beds await, one with a private en suite shower room, plus a pristine family shower room for all. Parking for two vehicles is located just metres away.

From your doorstep, the beautiful Teesdale Way beckons you on a romantic stroll along the river, leading you to a secret sulphur spring or into the picture-perfect village of Gainford (0.5 miles). For a day of unforgettable discovery, you’re close to the majestic Raby Castle (6 miles), a true medieval wonder, and the world-renowned Bowes Museum (8 miles), a treasure trove of art housed in a magnificent chateau.

An excellent lodge in a super location. Walks from the door along the riverbank. Very secure decking area for dogs, so peace of mind to let them chill as you relax. Hot tub was fired up & good to go on arrival. Everything clean, well presented and homely. Fabulous sitting out under the dark skies watching the bats & stars & listening to nature justRead more doing its thing! Spit on! Hide

An absolute hidden gem for a peaceful escape! We recently stayed at Kingfisher Lodge and cannot recommend it enough. If you are looking for a quiet retreat to unwind and connect with nature, this is the perfect spot. The lodge is nestled right next to the river, with walks directly from the lodge, ideal for dogs to have a swim. It was well equiRead morepped and the beds were extremely comfortable. The private hot tub was ideal after long walks. Bill the owner was very welcoming and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. Whether you want to use it as a base to explore the local area or just want to sit back with a good book and watch nature, it offers a magical atmosphere. Hide

This is a lovely, well thought out lodge. The setting was perfect - quiet and relaxing and an excellent base for exploring. Beds very comfortable, with lovely crisp white bedding and towels. The kitchen is ideal for a weekend away. Hot tub a great addition and enjoyed by all. Would we return - yes definitely.

A lovely light, airy and dog friendly ecolodge in a great location only metres from the river with a great walk into the nearby village with places to stop for dogs to swim. A large balcony and hot tub cap off a wonderful holiday home experience.
